Coincidentally I have been facing it on BSNL 3G offlate, so it might mostly be something to do with BSNL throttling uploads rather than ADSL limits. Even on Airtel 3G I got only 0.7 Mbps upload speed against 4.25 Mbps download speed. I used to have FTTH a while back and I used to get 1:1 download/upload speeds then. > > @ members of the ILUG-Chennai list can you share your speed test > > results from (traffic going over USB data cards) > > <http://www.speedtest.net> > http://www.diigo.com/item/image/1aopx/o1sk Might be slightly unrelated, but may be useful for some here. http://srik.me/bsnl3g/ -- Regards Srikanth.L _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
