Hi peopleHappy new year to alli finally got the connection today........after 1 month of real torture from mtnl people. Calling all sorts of people to get the things done.anyways got it and am really happy that i could configure my dsl modem in bridge mode and then got the wireless router to work in pppoe mode....cool everything workin.never thought it could be so easy to get things done i meant the configurin part.well somethings happening finally after my break off with my gf.so happy now...well things just started moving for me....touchwood. 🙂
 
dont wanna dampen ur spirits but speeds are really an issue with MTNL these dayz
 
well at the moment am gettin pretty decent speeds about 25 ~ 28KB.hmm lets c if its remains like that......how is the changin plans thing, do you still need to go to the exchange or can do it online itself (with mtnl i know, its like impossible)?
 
dats good.well, applying for and changing plans is quite easy here in Delhi via the online CC site. Not sure abt Bombay 🤔 MTNL does have different levels of service at Delhi and Bombay...
 
Speed is pretty good. But you have to go to exchange for pretty much everything except bill payment.
 
even I believe tht speed is pretty gud from past few days. Previously I used 2 get a response time of 296 ms from www.yahoo.com. Nowadays I am getting sumthing between 275-281 ms. 😀
 

Many ppl define speed as latency, many ppl define speed as bandwidth. If you are into VOIP or Online gaming, latency (ping times) become as imp as bandwidth.

Though ping times wont affect your download speed if file is large.

I found one thing stragne, I am getting ping times ~300ms for google.co.in and yahoo.co.in as well. My connection is okay since ping times to MTNL servers are good

ping doesnt depend on speed , it depends on routing
[/b]

Mr. ultra_wires when u ping d default gateway of an ISP wht highly technical routes r u talkin abt. And FYI when u ping yahoo / google or any other server u get a response based upon d IP which gets resolved @ tht pnt of time. In laymans language a lower ping response is directly proportional to gud speeds. PING is a very basic network connectivity test & has nothing 2 do with routing. Its d rtr which decides how 2 Xfer ur ICMP packets. 😛
