MTNL Mumbai New 16 Mbps plans on both ADSL and VDSL

[d5aqoëp]

At home I have VDSL 10 Mbps and at office I have ADSL 16 Mbps. The above stats are from office connection. The home stats are quite similar and the line conditions are almost similar too. Just that at home, they have put me on 17 Mbps download profile which still works out to be fine. I purposely asked for lower upload profile as all devices at home constantly sync to iCloud and eat up data. The iCloud photo library backup automatically tunrs on after every iOS update. Quite cunning of Apple.

The only solution was to reduce upload speed to 512 kbps. Now I have an evil laugh to see those suckers fail at uploading to Apple servers.

Hahaha nice yo got me again btw, should I ask for profile speed increase or not ? ;-)

You can try. It's a gamble which can go either way.

I see, will give it a try if needed ;-) Thanks again buddy

@saifbukhari Well I stay 2.5 Km from exchange. The attainable speeds shown in router D-Link 2750u is 9800 dl and 2500 ul. SNR current 12 dl and 22 ul.

Current speeds on 6 Mbps data rate set at 6911 dl and 511 ul.

Even if I don't get full 10 Mbps, I don't mind it. Getting upload speeds of 2 Mbps will be a lot better.

So even on ADSL opting for VDSL Power 1549 is possible?

What is porting to SOTL? What is the full form?

Any other details I should know about before changing over from BB-1500 6M to VDSL Power 1549?

@rohaan above 1km there is no chance per my personal experience and what I have seen here at forum and via some MTNL line men.

You can try but we are not responsible, also just go in person to the MTNL cust service and meet the engineer and request him to put your connection on SOTL port.

@saifbukhari Thanks for the reply. What basically is SOTL port and what difference it makes by porting over to it?

@rohaan sorry for the late reply, I had a chance to sit with the guy at mtnl and ask about it and he said its basically the isp posrt they assign to subscribers, like alcatel, sotl , ericcson. I am sure guys mentioned below would have more insights on the technical aspects to it. I also got help from them only so Thanking them as below:-

@d5aqoëp & @socrates @x720 A big Thanks to all of you for assisting all along.
I finally went all along and bought myself VDSL Modem/Router & I thought to Share my Experience.
Before getting the VDSL modem, I was getting speed 8 to 8.5Mbps Down and 2 mbps Up.

I went to the Exchange and met the DM to request a MTNL modem and to discuss the speed limit issue.

He said he have to assign me a VLAN and then will help me configure the modem but I need to get my Own Modem Router First.

So I bought one from Digisol Smarlink Click Here per my knowledge there is ZyXEL ( costing around 5k approx & TP-Link around 12k approx)

And the above one I got for 4K INR, so thought of taking the risk as the Zyxel was not available at the time of my purchase.

Today Got the router configured with the MTNL official's assistant and touch wood all is fine now. atleast Im getting proper speeds for what Im paying for.

I dont know exactly how to translate the Line stats but here I have posted for your reference and advise / comments if any.

Again a BIG Thanks you to all for the is amazing place to discuss and help.
