MTNL Mumbai New BB UL Plans W.e.f. 13/04/2016

Right. No, I wouldn't think of getting a 16Mbps plan, but I did wonder if a 6Mbps would be doable with my stats.

^^yes,it would

Yesterday was GH 9am to 7pm. Managed to download substantial.
crestlreg website was timing out. Today it shows I downloaded a whopping 1.21 MB in that period.

Moved over to BB-1500-6M from May 2016. Getting good 710 KBps DL for torrents. After being used to 200 KBps for over a decade, 6 Mbps feels like nirvana.

I'm on a 4Mbps connection at the moment. My line stats are:

SNR Up : 24.1
SNR Down : 20.6
Line Attenuation Up : 22.6
Line Attenuation Down : 35.6

Can I safely move to one of the 6Mbps plans without my SNR going below 12-13 or so?

Yes you can. My line stats were even poorer.

Currently they are with 6 Mbps
SNR Up: 10.9
SNR Down: 20.6
Line Attenuation Down : 34
Line Attenuation Up : 4
Attainable Rate Kbps: 9812 DL 2475 UL
Rate Kbps: 6911 DL 511 UL
Router: D-Link DSL 2750U

Thankfully no disconnections. Perfect 10 hour single session.

Anything more than 6 Mbps, my line may start giving troubles.:whew:

Recently when MTNL changed their Triband plans customers were allowed to stay on their old plans but I have noticed tht my UL speed has been reduced pre FUP to 512kbps frm 1Mbps (DSL_UNLTD_XPRESS_COMBO_749). This I think is unethical & a sneaky stunt. Never expected this from them. Is it only me or are others facing this too?

@socrates MTNL has played real sneaky. Reduced upload speeds across all the plans on ADSL to 512 Kbps. Only FTTH and VDSL have upload speeds of 2 Mbps pre-fup.

Looks like even my upload speed is back to 512kbps

 

[socrates]

I am on DSL_UNLTD_XPRESS_COMBO_749 which has 1Mbps UL before FUP. Bloody cheats

 

[d5aqoëp]

The poor upload speed of 512 kbps can cause sluggish browsing as data needs to be sent and received for faster internet. 8 Mbps download speed will be bottle-necked by 512 kbps upload speed.

Anyone else feels the same?

 

[amish]

Nope. Unless you are also uploading data then it will be bottleneck.

Like video call or torrent.

If you are just downloading then 512kbps will not cause slow down.
