Does anyone see Intermittent disconnections ?

i've been keeping awake and have confirmed that since many ppl still don't switch their router on/off at the given time and hence end up with huge bills which they blame on MTNL, they've started disconnecting and reconnecting it for us from their end. Your connection will drop and reconnect within a few secs once between 12:21 and 12:23 am (which starts ur free night usage session) and again at 8:13 am (which is a lil funny coz it's beyond 8 am but it ends ur night usage session if u haven't already done so minimising the damage done to ppl not following instructions). So if u start ur night downloads before 12:23 and go off to sleep ur downloads will be interrupted although most clients resume after it reconnects but some don't.

thanx for replying waterloo. This is an interesting observation but unfortunately is not the prob in my case. Disconnections sometimes occur at 1am, 2am and sometimes even 3am. Again this occurs totally at random. It might happen thrice today and again might happen after a week. So there is no regularity of these disconnections. I havent installed any new software since the prob that might disconnect me. Also, im using the dialer to connect to mntl triband, thru bridged mode since im using a task scheduler. Its not the task scheduler too that can be causing this. Anywayz, its not a permanent thing and ill keep observing so that i can provide more info over here. I hope the session history page on the mtnl account comes back online and it will gimme a clearer picture as to when my conn is disconnected.
Secondly, cud anyone gimme a solution for the not getting greater than 28kbps speed problem, that i mentioned earlier??? This is a bigger concern. I checked many posts on this forum, regarding snr ratio and line attenuation and their normal range values. It seems that the values for my adsl router r normal. Only one thing caught my eye is that many subscribers of dsl nu@256kbps pack have a downstream of 280kbps and upstream of 256kbps. Whereas my down and upstream r both 256kbps. Also i dont know what a splitter looks like. Maybe the phone outlet im talking about is the splitter itself. All i know is one telephone no. is being used by 3 devices : 2 telephones and 1 adsl router. I hope that helps. Thanx for ur help guys.

dude if ur frm mum than there is only one way to increase is changing sync rate @288.But i called mtnl they told that i hav 256 so i"ll get 256 ka sync rate.Here only in some thread people wrote there sync rate n 90% had 256 with 28KBps as max speed actully it is 27.2 that is the avg speed frm http in du meter

Yohu123, u cannot get the downstream sync rate increased to 288 coz that is the rate that is provided on DSL NU connections in DELHI and U are in Mumbai where the normal sync rate is 256 Kbps and ur other sync settings are also normal.As far as the speed that u are getting is concerned, i think that is also normal coz PPPoE connections usually have a loss of abt 16.6 % so ideally ur speed shld be 256-42 = 213 Kbps or 26.6 KBpsAs far as the disconnections are concerned, they cld be due to the interference from additional devices directly connected to the phone line in parallel with splitter. Actually, u first need to split the line using the splitter then connect the additional telephones on the split line coming from it.Splitter is a small plastic box abt 3X2.5 inches in size that has 3 telephone sockets built into it where u can attach ur main line , line from ADSL router and a phone respectively.Hope this addresses some some of ur concerns..

hmm even me faced with disconnections...for me it usally disconnects at around 6:30 am every darn day. and cause i use bit tornado. sometimes it doenst resume.. the problem is that this didnt happen last week when i had unlimited internet.. but now that the servers are back . i duno why it disconnects 🙁 .. i did remove all the other phones in parallel for a couple of days to check .. but the problem still persists. diuno how to solve it 🙁 ...

Abt the disconnections, am in delhi so won't be the same for ppl from mumbai. Even here it started off with disconnections at random times but after a day or so it only disconnects at the times i've mentioned earlier. Been happening for the past week or so.Also it seems to me that u have internal wiring in ur house, but anyway if ur getting 28KBps then it's normal coz ur synced at 288. As a matter of fact even in delhi most ppl get 28 and below.

Just called up 1504 to ask about the downstream rate being set to 128 kbpsShe said that it is normal (sab ko 100 hi milta hai 🙁) but she will log a complaint. Does everyone out there see 256 as the downstream rate.. also my upload rate is set to 256 kbps. so that looks fishytoday morning once again I had the same issue of web pages not opening. Could this be an issue with their DNS Servers ? Any ideas on how to check ?

In the morning however I found that the webpages didn't work. Any url resulted in a search page being opened up. The good news was that the torrent downloaders worked anyway - so no issues. I toggled the power to the router and the webpages were back again.

If this happens regularly, it can be a spyware too. Install some anti-spyware n run it.

Also, regarding ur talk to 1504 ppl, they r jack***. Gud 4 nothing. The rate shud be 256kbps. But as said earlier, a hell lot depends on ur line condition. Get hold of ur local line men and get ur line connection checked frm the pole outside.

BTW: Hello Guys !!!!! Was out of town. 😛

HELLO DUDEwas missin ur post man

I solved my earlier problem and the net doesnt randomly disconnect anymore. But now im getting a different type of disconnection. Whenever i pickup any one of my telephones to make or receive a call, my connection is showing still connected but there is no data transmission and all pages appear as page cannot be displayed. Even after i put the phone down there is no data transmission. I have to manually disconnect and reconnect again. At first my telephone line was splitted at three places, 1st a phone, 2nd the router and 3rd another phone. So all three devices were in parallel. Then i connected the router as the 1st split in the line. So now its router-phone1-phone2.
This improved my SNR and reduced the line attenuation but the original problem still persists. Does anyone else observe this kind of disconnection when lifting the handset of the lan telephone with a same kind of splitting in the telephone line? If yes, how to solve it???

doesnt anyone know the solution to this problem? i didnt want to start another post coz the prob is almost the same but only caused by different reasons. can someone plz tell me how to solve the prob where my telephone disconnects my broabdand connection even when my router is connected as the 1st split in the telephone line and then 2nd and 3rd come my phones???
