Jump In Upload Speeds?

[real_india]

Guys something is wrong tonight. I am getting upload speeds in the range of 40-45 KBps (at times even touching 50 KBps) 😱 Earlier only download speed used to double during the night time but today for the first time in 10 months the upload speed has also doubled 🙂 Either this is due to some sort of work going on at backend or this is Aritel's diwali gift 🙄 Please reply if you are also getting an increase in upload speed during the night along with your loaction.

Well even i did not get any double uploads at nite on my 128k connection for a good 9 months. It was only after i learnt about the upload being doubled and banging my head with the cust. care of Airtel for a week did the problem get rectified. The problem was my modem's upstream that was set to 128. Now both down and upstream have been set to 576.

@Karan_S thanks for the reply. You are right even my Line Rate - Upstream is now set to 576. Earlier it used to be 256. Long live Airtel India'a best ISP 🙂

if airtel was the 'best' isp, they would get this setting corrected at the time of installation. i myself never got the optimum speed for around 4 months before i had to fight it out with the local representative. none of them would come at the night time to see that i am not really getting the double speeds which i am supposed to get.

Where is this setting exactly... in the modem setup ?

Was under the impression such changes were only possible from Airtel's side.

Since i'm in BLR (no night time dbl speeds on offer here) i doubt i would qualify for such a boost 🙁

My current upload rate on the 256 package is 128kbs...approx 15-16kB/s

 

[Crazysah]

Yeah. How do I set down and upstream to 576. Also how do I check if I have double speeds at night or not?

Well Airtel was the one that changed the settings on their DSLAM not me. Thats why i mentioned banging my head for week with thier cust. care people. You can only view the settings in the modem. Thats how i figured out the problem.

@Crazysah: If your speeds double after 11PM then you are getting double speeds.

My question still remains ..

Where in the modem setup is this displayed ?

 

[vebk]

you cannot change the settings yourself... Airtel does it from the backend.

i am moving to airtel soon and i have tried almost all isp in my area and was able to get into each one of their servers to my purpose..dunno about airtel but i expect good service from them

Well i don't know about Beetel web distributor II but in 220Bx you can find these values at either:

-->192.168.1.1 --- DSL Status

OR

-->192.168.1.1/main.html --- Device Info

By the way thanks once again to Karan_S for bringing this to the attention of Airtel tech team. I am assuming that you are from Delhi. It certainly has helped me here in Noida 🙂

 

[Karan]

I am actually in Gurgaon. I don't know if it was me or something else that made Airtel change.

karan, you are lucky to get upstream as 576 because it Airtel network, its nearly impossible to get upstream as 576 in such a congested network like airtel ... maybe company have installed a nwe RSU/DSLAM very near to ur location...


The mantra is The more near u r to the DSLAM/RSU, the more speed u'll get & face less problems

& Sushubh, that double speed in night is not Promised from airtel's side, IT MAY GET DOUBLED, MAYBE NOT ALSO. IT TOTALLY DEPENDS ON THE TRAFFIC ON SERVERS IN ANY GIVEN TIME
