Hi all! So I have been having all sorts of problems with my bsnl line, like not having a stable connection, slower than advertised speeds etc etc and all the bsnl lineman does is opens
google and leaves.
I am using the unlimited 2799 BSNL plan with promised speeds of 8 Mbps, which should roughly translate into a 2mbps d/l speed. I have never seen download speeds reach beyond 350 kbps, and that too
intermittently. My usual download speeds hover around the 200 kbps or even lower mark, so thats around 10 times slower than advertised!!
So after trying to find out the problem myself, I got these stats under the
Device info->statistics->xDsl page on my
router:
Line Coding(Trellis): On On
SNR Margin (0.1 dB): 48 58
Attenuation (0.1 dB): 375 239
Output Power (0.1 dBm): 197 124
Attainable Rate (Kbps): 4,184 409
After reading around a bit it seems my line attenuation at 375 is super duper high, is that right? Will my lineman understand the problem if I tell him this? The guy seemed kinda illiterate when I last met him..
The install he has done is in the generater room, and is a right MESS! like loose wires all around, bugs crawling over router, wire cuts everywhere, etc etc. There are even two or three dead wires which dont do
anything, and I guess are there just to confuse the troubleshooter! makes me think bsnl people get specially trained in how to never statisy the customer instead of vice versa :tongue:
Anyway, any help in pinpointing the problem would be great, I have called the linesman and hopefully he will be arriving tommorow, or day after or sometime this year. Untill then, if you guys can tell me what exactly the
linesman needs to do/check then that would be great, I doubt showing him my router stats will have any effect..
