What does this mean

[ways2gain]

Nope this is where I dis-agree with u. A shareholder may sit in his or her house and dabble in shares. So he is a home user. He would get the same connection as his neighbour ( me ) get who surfs and emails while the guy o the other floor may be d/l songs and the pervert on the floor below may be d/ling prOn. BSNL cant do much about it all. Cant blame them here.Abdul, Ill do it from Monday onwards as I took it lightly till now. I was being pateint and removing doubt at my end but they need some HELL from me.

if i trade shares from my home. i seriously doubt i would be consuming more bandwidth than a common user like you. share traders have multiple users conducting heavy business on possibly a single connection. there is a difference between the two parties.

Share traders online users are ussually single users. I know them closely. Check my website to get an idea.

than explain to me how would a single guy doing share trading online would use more bandwidth than a dude listening to online radio or surfing pr0n?i think share trading is just monitoring the markets on CNBC or NDTV Profit and order shares on the net... like any other e-commerce process.

Online share trader has his broswer or s/w which gives him online quotes which constatntly checks for new quotes and this uses the bandwidth all the time ( every second ). He clogs up the system this way. Similarly the guy who d/ls stuff all the time is doing the same but generally the d.lers do so at night ( dont they ) when traffic is lower.

from what i know... downloading share rates of stocks would be a transfer based on text content. and this won't take 30-40KBps data consitantly. Unless, he watches CNBC on his computer through some live feed listening to music online would definitely consume less bandwidth than downloading share prices... but who knows what else those rich dudes do on their computers

But what if many such users check quotes in that period ?The local DSLAM access point should get overloaded theoretically...

 

[Sushubh]

in theory 1000 users can check their mail at once. but it would not last for 7 hours continuosly. individual person doing trading online seriously cannot jam an internet line

 

[ways2gain]

But the number of users of the net shoots up for any locality during the Share traing hours. This might stress and pressure on the BSNL ISP.I cannot see any other reason for fall in speed. Also the users in offices are often having Homeplan ( not diff to get that done ). They switch the connection on and leave it that way all thru the day.This way the users increase in big no during the day time.

Thats what we are experiencing. Slowdown in office hours.
