BSNL 3G speed is capped at 1mbps until network upgrades are complete

spoke to the senior most Bsnl official in cochin. According to him the bandwidth is capped for time being to 1024 KBps download and 512 KBps upload only in south india( kerala, karnataka , andhra pradesh , tamilnadu ) because maximum no of bsnl 3g connections for unlimited internet scheme ie (rs 4200) are in south india and hence the bandwidth is clogged in the south . Will be back to original condition only when the promotional unlimited scheme ie (rs 4200) validity is over. pls expect the same bandwidth for the next 45 days till april end.

Today, I have spent more than an hour with Mandhaveli official ( Chennai ) regarding my capping to 512Kbps and data account checking. He said he will forward my mail to concerned authorities for further action.

Today he has replied to my long pending question, that they have recently received clarification from higher authorities to allow the existing unlimited customers to have unlimited usage up to six months from the date of our entering to the unlimited plan ( and not from the change of tariff to limited usage i.e 18th / 25th Feb ).

As he has promised, called me in the evening and informed me to send sms " usg " to 53333. ( For Chennai / tamilnadu customers ) to know the data usage. It works. *123*10# and *123*8# not working for me.

When I checked my usage the reply sms was ....37975 KB off peak and 1748134 KB peak usage ...... So totally 1.70GB data used.

But for my 1.70GB itself they have capped me to 512 Kbps connectivity. I will compensate their mistake, in some other way, if it is not settled shortly. No other option.

That officer said that capping will be settled not before the end of March. He is very smart enough, not to disclose the reason. An excellent talented, knowledgeable and obliging officer, very rare to come in contact with. Because most of them will simply divert you 😛leasehelp: ..... take diversion 😛leasehelp:.... take diversion 😛leasehelp:.... take diversion 😛leasehelp:...... take diversion😛leasehelp:...... Finally you will end at the first person who has diverted you.

I am in 1359 unlimited regular plan and getting 3 + Mbps speed. Only those in promotional offer of 2000 / 2500 / 4200 are capped to 1 Mbps, I think.
I am using 4200/- unlimited plan.

I guess capping has been upped to more than 3.6 mbps depends on circle and as a result lot of people started to face very slow browsing(some time doesnt even load the page ) 🙁
