MTNL Broadband: ADSL light on, but no internet connectivity

[socrates]

Had gone to Prabhadevi Tel exchange just now met lot of guys regarding the duplicate entries for 1st Apr (their idea of April Fools joke ). Lots to pleading 'not to surrender the tel & b'band connection'. And promises to sort out the duplicate entries & it seems that the excessive overmetering is WIP but 'dont know when it will be rectified' :O:wall::madness:. I also got two DNS entries of 'Mumbai servers'
59.185.0.23 &
59.185.0.50 these two don't seem to have packet loss when I checked now & have a latency of 30 - 49ms



was told there are 6 such servers but no one could tell the other four
Another yarn I got was that this problem was due to 'virus', this from a guy who didn't know what 'vaccine' meant & he didn't have a explanation why it only affected D--Link modem in PPPoE mode, not Bridge mode and none of the Chinese modems!!!:O:huh:

That does not seem to happen to 59.185.0.50. In all probability ur D-Link modem will have 59.185.0.23 as DNS server which was not so till yesterday morning.

Router/Modem: D-Link GLB-802C

With this latency I cant even download text emails to Thunderbird email client & to think that yesterday, a DGM in MTNL was telling me that 'upto 300ms is ok'.:O He probably does not check his emails :hysterical: !@#@$#$#%$^

lolz. We are in the 21st century. Its 2009 and the DGM who is in a higher post doesn't check his mail. How are they going to upgrade themselves. Disgusting fact

If you see the spare manpower around these guys, one can only realize that they have a flunky to do all that:S & more :hysterical:

The big joke is that the two DNS servers given to me by a DGM as Mumbai servers are actually Delhi servers only 203.94.227.70 is a Mumbai. This is the quallity of manpower they have where they dont even know what they have based in Delhi or Mumbai :O. I am totally horrified by their ignorance & indifference am seriously considering checking if Airtel is available in my area.

 

[krish_88]

If they don't sort it out. I am also considering a change. One can't take up Airtel connection because they have Fup

This problem has not been solved completely. Had no connectivity in the morning & for sometime now. But MTNL jerks are congratulating themselves for completing the job. And still no sign of removing the duplicate entries for the 1st Apt '09, after telling me it will take 3-4 days

My net was down from yesterday night to morning. 2nd time in 3yrs with MTNL.1504 said there is problem in andheri servers. (ADSL light was on but not getting connected)
