Hello,
Has Anyone used (tried) , the 8 mbps plan in Mulund East (Mithagar) Area ? This plan is being offered on normal DSL . Does it give promised speed ?
I think I am exactly 1 km travel wise from the exchange but I am not sure how to measure 1 km ? Is it the length of the line or something ?
T
Thanks in advance for any reply !
 
1km travel wise = 1.6-1.8km atleast cabling wise! if your line is good you might get 7mbits. the only to figure out is to try ! 😛

Thanks for your reply. Currently I am on a 2 Mbps plan with below parameters (modem) . Is this good enough for a 8 Mbps speed ?
SNR : 35 db (downstream)
Line Attenuation : 26 db (downstream).
it does show Max Attainable rate above 8 Mbps.

Looks good....... for 8Mbps.......
U should try using ADSL2+ modulation to chk ur Max Rate........

Thanks .. Sorry I dont exactly know how to try using ADSL2+ modulation ? Is it in Advanced Mode / ADSL Mode = ADSL2+ (Earlier it was Auto Sync up)... Should I also adjust ADSL Type option ?

Auto sync up is fine. It defaults to adsl2+

OK , then I checked & it shows Max Attainable Rate as 20065 (Downstream) .. I think I should go ahead & apply for 8 Mbps plan then ?
I have already read visiting the exchange is best so will do that this saturday . But I have also read that it needs chasing 🙁 as the speed upgrades dont happen on their own ?
Any tips for change of plan procedure ?
Once changed , I will post my speed results .
 
I went today to the exchange. I clearly mentioned in the Written application that I wanted DSL_8Mbps_1050.
When I got a call back from the same lady , I told her thrice that I want 8 Mbps 1050 plan and NOT the 2 Mbps one (Xpress_Combo_1050) . And Yet she changed it to Xpress_Combo_1050
What a FRUSTRATING experience. Why does this happen with soo many of them with MTNL !! What is the use of mentioning thrice and even in WRITING !!
Cant they read ??? 😛issed-off: 🙁 🙁
What do I do next ??? !

What does the portal say?

It says "Xpress_UL_Combo_1050" ... I spoke to someone at exchange.. he seemed helpful... he said he will change it .. fingers crossed ..
That helpful guy indeed solved my problem 🙂 🙂 .... By evening I was migrated to 8 Mbps plan & given the speed profile for modem. Here is my test :

Thanks everyone for the help 🙂
 
I need help to understand my modem stats , I dont face any problem as such.
But my upstream CRC seem to be crazy & how can my downstream power be 0 :numbness: ? I am not aware of what CRC really is , but I heard its bad to have it high in number ?
Why is my downstream power 0 ?
SNR Margin : 20.8 6.6 dbLine Attenuation : 27 15.4 dbData Rate : 8192 1183 kbpsAttainable Rate : 18772 1184 kbpsPOWER : 0 11.3 dbmCRC : 22 65504
 
am sry....... I cant rly help u with CRC errors since mine is always at 0....... so either my router doesnt record errors or it doesnt want to...... but yes...... those errors r on the higher side....... maybe try ADSL2+ with Annex M......
Rest of ur stats r good...... u should hav uninterrupted 8Mbps connection with ur stats.......
Also ignore the Power stats.......

Thanks bro !
 
CRC errors means only one thing. Line issue. Check if your line has no exposed joints. Even better, install a new line from junction box of your building to your ADSL modem.
