We are planning to buy Airtel Lease Line of 2 MBPS (1:1). What is the maximum number of concurrent users it can support at one point of time. I'm currently using 3 broadband connections (8 MBPS each) but the speed is not that great.
Also, I'm using WIFI for all 3 connections, so will the speed improve if I change it to LAN.
Thanks in advance.
 
What do you want to use the leased line for? Home or office? Do you really need fast upload speeds?
 
Uberjon,I would like to use for office...as I said there are 40 users. I don't really need fast uploads but since number of users are many so surfing speed dips.
 
40 users was never mentioned.
Office or browsing center?
You have 3 lines (of 8mbps each) for 40 people in an office? How are you sharing the three lines?
 
I've used a leased line before, same as 2mbps 1:1 but not from Airtel. Let me tell you one thing however, it's going to be a very bad experience for everyone in your office.
2mbps shared between 40 terminals is not a good thing. Instead, spend this much amount (it's likely going to cost you uphill of 8k+ anyway) on getting as many connections as you possibly can (from different ISP's) - and either share these separately to each segment of your users or have a loadbalancer to do it for you. This would be much better since if one connection goes down, there will be several others to take-over.
Just my two cents.
 

It's an office and I have a Cyberoam firewall through which all the 3 broadband connection pass.I'm paying a rental of Rs 1599/month for each 8 mbps broadband connection. Now if I go for one 2 MBPS lease line connection it will cost me Rs 1 lakh/ year.Also, all routers are WiFi enabled so every user have to connect to the nearest WiFi router.My objective is to ensure that all users get good speed while browsing the net and their productivity is not affected.
 
Our wiring is not compatible with more than 8 Mbps speed and can't change the wiring. With current 3 connections the speed is really very slow.
 
The speed will be bad with 40 people on a single 2 mbps line. Keep the 3 x 8 mbps lines. As long as no heavy downloading happens, 3 x 8 mbps lines are more than enough.
Out of curiosity, what routers are you using? What channels are they on? I hope that each router uses a different channel. Keeping all of them on the same channel might lead to interference.
 
20mbps leased line is more than sufficient to support 40 ppl and much better that 3x8mbps dsl lines. As it is gonna be 1:1 you would have full 20mbps upload throughput as well. The price quotes haven't changed much since past 2 years.
 
Uberjon,
We have 3 airtel broadband connections which are routed through the firewall and goes to 4 access points (wifi routers). All users take access from the nearest wifi router.
What I'm thinking is to continue with my 3 airtel broadband connections and subscribe static IP on them or buy a lease line.
The difference is 3 airtel broadband connections would cost me Rs. 87,000/ (monthly rental of Rs 2000/ connection and static IP rental of Rs 5000/connection). Out here I'll get 8 mbps speed but on sharing basis. If I go for lease line, then I have to pay Rs 1 lakh and I'll get 2 mps dedicated line.
