MTNL Broadband: 8mbps Plans

[insane79]

Had to go to exchange and convince them to increase my profile speed to more than 8 Mbps. Then only I started getting full 8 Mbps speed.

ha thats nice, which dns are you using? i m using the google one, is the mtnl one better?

Thanks..

My pings have increased for no reason. I use Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and MTNL DNS which is secondary 59.185.0.50

Yo! I applied on 29th october, they said it would be done by 30th, on 31st i called 1504, 27712121(Nerul CSC) they said they needed to send work order and would be completed by afternoon, in the evening 1504 said new plans start from 1st, and today (1st november) they said it will take 'time'. any numbers i can contact? what can i do to speed things up?

You could have applied online.

Now, what does the plan on portal say? It doesn't change for a week, apply online.

Yipee! Online it says DSL_8Mbps_1050!!!!! A quick modem reboot got speeds up to 1.7 Mbps / 217 kBps (download)
Router (Sterlite SAM300) shows downstream as 2048
Other stats:
Annex_M (its set to auto-choose)
downstream / upstream
SNR MARGIN: 20 / 35
Line Attenuation: 23 / 9.4

How can I get my downstream upto 10000? I have already launched a hail mary on 1504, Nerul CSC and 27707777 (a nerul guy as i live in navi mumbai) to get to where I am.
Reading earlier posts, I think calling up 12540 is a good idea, gonna try that, but in the meantime, any help will be appreciated

yea call 24361221 / 12540

12540: call wont go through due to "line problem"
24361221: No one picks up (to be fair today is Sunday)
1504: The person told me to reset the router, (as if I hadn't done that already), then told me to use MNTL DNS and shit, but no change, so said she would register a complaint tomorrow (Monday)

12540 try tomorrow. It'll work.

Well, until tomorrow then. Incase anyone was wondering, the reason 28GB is enough for me as I do mainly 9Gagging and use torrents for only current TV shows (like Walking Dead), rest of downloads in school which has D-Vois, where downloads occur at 3-4 mBps!!!
