So I am currently on BSNL BharatFibre ₹599 (60 Mbps). This is the stated download speed and (touch wood) BSNL has never let me down. I’ve been using for a few months now and always it’s been above 58Mbps, even during peak times.
The weird thing however is the upload. Is it supposed to be symmetrical or not? Cos I’ve had both. Sometime, with certain IP ranges, I get perfectly symmetrical speeds. And then reboot the router, new IP range, and the speed becomes exactly 50%. Consistently. I get perfect 60/30. I use EPON which generally supports symmetrical whereas GPON can support but usually follows the Upload 50% of Downloads rule.
I understand speeds are controlled by BSNL and not LCO’s OLT since it’s just a simple layer 2 switch. Anyone else faces this? Is it a weird BSNL quirk?
