AIRTEL BROADBAND

Your opinion about Airtel Broadband

 

[Sushubh]

after checking this forum you still need opinion?

I agree with Sushubh, the airtel thread is the only one where every user is happy. which includes me.. i'll give it two thumbs up

Sushubh, you were complaining of the speed on your 256K line. Is it because you have shared the lines or is it a problem from Airtel's side???

 

[Sushubh]

i just said. normal surfing is not that fast. but its ok. its worth the trouble staying away from sify in my HomeTown panchkula

but i guess its better than the sucky 64Kbps connection that i have

Max, i just hope that airtel gets to mumbai soon and you can get a connection ... don't you have any other options other than sify ?

wiz, i use Reliance powersurfer.net (previously BSES powersurfer) And no I dont have any other decent options. I do have MTNL DSL's option but I refuse to get tied down by stupid download limits.

What MTU values do you have in ur router and registry ?

i found setting them to 1492 gives an avg surf speed of 20KB/s on some sites. That's the best you can via PPoE.

Don't think there's any option for setting the MTU value in the 220bx....or is there? Also can u give the path for the registry entry ur talking abt? ThxAm resonably happy with Airtel so far. Only problem is that of high latencies.

192.168.1.1->Configuration->WAN connections->edit 'yoon-0'->Edit Ip Interface->MTU (set to 1492)->Save config-> reboot modemIn the registy you need to find your nic...i would suggest using a program called drtcp or if your comfortable with regeditHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx}there shoudl be a number of those interfaces you need to find which one is used by your NIC, look at the IPAddress key & NameServer keys and if they match the ones you see by doing an ipconfig /all ....then you got the right interface. Now look for MTU key and set it to 1492 and then reboot pc.

Ok i re-checked the 220BX settings and still couldn't find any setting to change the MTU value. Think mine has a different firmware or somethin. Also i found the entry for my NIC but there was no MTU key. Should i create one?

 

[blr_p]

Firmware i am running is

Ethernet gateway: TERA1000S H210_ (ISOS 8.2) / He100/2xx CSP v2.3 (ISOS 8.2) [8.2.0.8]

Look here for XP
