Hi,
I think I need to write again to clear the doubts.
From: "Vivek Kedia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi,
Does this mean if I go for a 2Mbps line for my business then also i will get
the 30-80 kbps
or it will increase to somewhat around 120-300 kbps
Are you talking about Leased Line(V.35) or Broadband(ADSL) or DIAS / HDSL ?
and for this speed paying the cost of 2MBPS line , that is a sham!!
The mention of costs indicate you are opting for 2Mbps on Leased Line. Anyway be specific about the plan opted for i.e. Best Effort / 2Mbps guranteed / Compressed (what ratio) / Non Compressed etc.
Or maybe I should go for a 512 Kbps line and then later upgrade it if i find
good reports of BSNL DATA1
Always use your own MRTG setup to measure bandwidth at your end. BSNL reports may not be that true and user oriented after all. I am not trying to say the Operator is going to do something fishy. All I am saying is, you need to have to do some performance analysis on your own. We can discuss this off-list if you want to know how to do it easily etc.
I was also reading on this list that on normal telephone copper wire MBPS
speeds are not practically feasible, so how come BSNL is claiming that they
will provide 1-2 MBPS lines
It all depends on what kind of technology is used LeasedLines - V.35, HDSL for long loops and ADSL for short loops is viable.
Are they cheating us or do they know something that we ILUGians dont ?
They do not cheat us intentionally. Actually what happens is, that in most of the cases, due to highly flawed planning and purchasing decisions at top levels, they are forced to buy (due to centralized purchases at the Capital) their infrastructure from China / US (which is not oriented or aimed at providing services in Indian operating conditions) and in turn get cheated themselves and naturally the general public / consumers are forced to use this equipment. The problem is we as consumers in India are not oriented towards better products from own country and believe that foreigners can only develop advanced technology for us and we have to depend on them. SO WE NATURALLY GET CHEATED, BUT NOT BY BSNL / AIRTEL / HUTCH / RELIANCE etc. but rather by those foreign vendors who push their 3rd rate products on us. OK enough of philosophy. If anyone wants to know how to use Indian technology whether 2Mbps / 128 kbps / 256 kbps from BSNL or any other operator he/she can contact me off-list.
Any help and comment on this issue will be appreciated
What is your actual need ? Discussions on your specific needs can be discussed off-list.
with Regards, ASHWIN

I also feel cheated.
