Is this problem now solved in Kolkata ? The reason I'm asking is that I'm facing very similar problems (to arnab_g) in Shiliguri for the past week or so. More specifically, Many sites load erratically (i.e. load sometimes, and fail at others), or fail to load at all (timed out). e.g. Yahoo mail seldom loads these days, or takes too long if it at all works. Long downlods fail because the stream stops altogether during download. BSNL CC is no help ("wait for a day or two, and see if it improves", which it never does). I don't think it is my system, since it was working fine on 15/1/09. Then the broadband connection was totally dead for a couple of days. I'm facing this problem since it came back up. Also, so many others are facing very similar issues. Don't know when, or if at all, it will get resolved!
