i stay at mazgaon,mumbai. i get steady 28KBps download speed. and i think thats the max u can get in mumbai. this speed really depends only on the data rate. the stability of the connection depends on the other values ie.snr and line attenuation. if ur data rate isnt showing 256kbps then u have to contact mtnl and only they can rectify it since many have said that they set this value from their servers.
furthermore, i dont know why exactly 28KBps is the max anyone can get in mumbai when in delhi most ppl r easily getting 30-32KBps download speeds. coz theoretically, having a 256kbps connection is actually kilobits per second and not kilobytes. and since 8bits=1byte, we divide this number by 8 to actually get the really download speed in KB=KiloBytes. hence, 256kbps=32KBps. most ppl on this forum know all of this, but im just mentioning it FYI. now i know u cannot get exactly 32KBps practically but we shud easily get atleast 30KBps. but even thats not possible in mumbai and i dont know why anyone isnt concerned about it. maybe coz ppl r having much bigger probs with mtnl, that this prob hasnt been a big priority 😀
so if anyone gets 30KBps or more in mumbai OR if anyone agrees with me, plz speak up. thanx.
