Just today, i contacted a 3G incharge officer of VIRUDHUNAGAR district in TN and told abt the 1 Mbps speed limitation issue that we (UNLIMITED Plan) users are facing.
His answer was convincing for me and so im sharing it with you all.
He said that they are upgrading the backbone network of BSNL to 21 Mbps (I asked him whether its 14.4 Mbps but he said its not 14.4 but its 21 Mbps like other service providers). Due to the upgradation work, some parts of the 3G networks have to be stopped and the whole 3G service shud survive with the remaining network. Due to heavy usage unlimited plan users, they are unable to handle the traffic with the limited amount of available network. So, due to avoiding the traffic issues, they hav temporarily limited the speed of UL users to 1 Mbps & terminated the UL plans & made the 3G usage costly.
He said that the deadline given for them to complete the upgradation work in the end of April. He said that BSNL will remove the 1 Mbps speed limitation and introduce UL plans soon, once the upgradation work is completed.
Hope we'll get good speeds soon.
