Update: 2 days later speeds are down again. WTF? :cursing: Will investigate & update again.
 
Breaking news! MTNL speeds go south again.160-240kbps on a 1Mbps line.Surprisingly, the modem status page shows that my line is synced at a data rate of 2048kbps.:huh:
 
As far as my knowledge sync rates don't affect actual bandwidth, we can be assigned/synced to 8+Mbps on ADSL+ but the port speed will be according to your plan speed.Dont worry you will get your speed back it might be due to weekly maintenance or just the glitch on their part, ut will be solved.Regards

I really hope so coz tomorrow is a Sunday & therefore cannot contact the exchange.
What constitutes weekly maintenance by MTNL?
I fail to understand that!
 
Server Maintenance
Essentially, this means that the administrator must review the server's performance as well as potential security risks and backup protocols at regular intervals.

Any a times this https://broadband.forum/mtnl-broadband/48167-mtnl-broadband-service-alerts-company/ thread Socrates updates it regularly

Regards

Unfortunately now a days they send the emails 1 or 2 hrs before the actual event (some times even after :( ) & this makes it totally useless. In the past they would send it at least 24 hrs in advance.
 
MTNL speeds down again on Saturday afternoon.Speedtest shows upload speed of 0.45Mbps & download speed of 0.080Mbps(80kbps):excruciating:Thats really bad considering that I am on 1Mbps plan.What is weird is that upload speeds are not affected!!!Update:-Now speedtest shows 0.40Mbps up & 0.067Mbps down(67kbps).:Shoot:Just noticed another anomaly--->Cannot login to modem using default username & password.It appears I have been locked out of MTNL modem.:fear2:
 
Dear Jamie,How can MTNL change your modem password, ADSL + doesn't allow the ISP to remote access any of their clients/subscribers machines, unless you are connected to internet and you have given the engineer access to the settings through your OS.Try resetting and rebooting the modem through the switch and the hole for hard reset.Regards

I have already hard reset the modem & yes I was able to login after that.But the miserable speeds problem still remained.I just did not post about it coz I am really getting tired of this.Regarding remote access, most modems & routers can be configured for just that thru their configuration pages don't think access thru OS required configuring the modem should do the trick.But since these modems r bought by MTNL from companies in wholesale who knows they could possibly be tweaked for MTNL by the suppliers themselves.Maybe yes maybe not, who knows.
Can u please explain how a modem stops accepting the default user & password just like that?
And yes this is the 2nd time this has happened.
Earlier I had changed the default user & pass for the modem login.And then when pass was rejected I hard reset the modem.
After that incident I decided not to change the modem user & pass & keep it at default.
This time around the default user & pass is rejected which after a hard reset is ironically accepted.
