MTNL Broadband: 8mbps Plans

[petfrog]

@petfrog,It may help to change the line. I'm exploring that option myself but haven't been able to get hold of the linesman as yet. Do share your experience (and cost involved, if any).He probably has something that checks for signal strength. You may want to see if the attenuation is happening between your house switch and the wall socket, and the compare that to the main junction box to see if that's the faulty wire.Surprisingly, my landline is ultra clear in spite of such high attenuation/low SNR values.

My landline is clear only when I connect it in my room with the router. At any other point in the house, it gives me a sh*tload of disturbance.

Other point in the house ie parallel connection? Read the post in my signature. Parallel connections are absolute no-nos if not done in the right way. Moreoever, you could test your internal wiring by connecting your router to the point where the wire first enters your house. If there is a marked improvement in stats, your internal wiring is faulty. If not, then, the line from the junction box to your house is faulty and needs to be changed.

Here we go again. Another disconnection. HELP! :/

Nope, not parallel. Mine is setup 2 without splitting the main. I'll install the filter.

No. I don't think your line can support 8mbps in its current state. If you do opt for an 8mbps, I'm not sure what speeds you can expect. Could be around 4mbps, but can't say really. Give it a try if you want to, and see how the snr changes.

Thank you so much x720. The disturbance is gone. Dunno why didn't I think of that. I still can't connect to the internet. Any one has any advice?

I am kind of confused here, my plan got activated on 27th, according to the MTNL portal I've used "7,922.43 Mb" so I have not yet consumed my quota.
But I am getting only 1mbps speed, was earlier getting speeds unto 7mbps. Is this something to do with the month end or am I headed to another karan joharistic melodrama of calling the exchange fellows and all the other bull feces.

@petfrogStats again. @atulThe quota is on a pro rata basis.

I am kind of new to all the FUP, so how is it calculated ?

(Fair usage for a month/30)*no of days left in the billing cycleNow, afaik, mtnl bills everyone starting the first of each month. So, going by that logic, you would've been given data for 4 days ie 27 28 29 30.
