MTNL Broadband VDSL2 User Experiences

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 02:20 AM PDT

I wanted to start a new experience thread simply to discuss MTNL VDSL.

Some things to consider before/after taking a new VDSL connection

 

SNR margins (SNRM)
Below 9 dB : Poor experience with lots of HEC and CRC errors. Line will disconnect frequently.
9   - 11  dB : Ok but not ideal. Disconnections will be there if some unexpected variance is introduced by rains, humidity in the wire.
12 - 16  dB : Ideal and realistic value. Expect almost no disconnections as the line has more wiggle room for tolerating variances.
17 dB and up : God Mode. Lucky few get this on VDSL synced at 30 mbps and up. So far I have seen various stats and no one has reported this SNRM (That is because VDSL sync rates are always higher)

 

Higher you sync rate, lower the SNRM will be. Lower the SNRM, lower the connection reliability. Lower reliability means frequent disconnections. Hence ISP's have a setting in DSLAM to artificially increase SNRM value for a particular phone line. Hence you sync at lower rate and line automagically becomes stable.

 

Attenuation may not be that important after all. It reduces sync speeds over a distance but is not an indicator of connection reliability. (You can roughly calculate your line length from it. Do it here)

Apply for VDSL connection only if you are within half km. Otherwise you will get ADSL like sync rates.

I will update this entry with some of our findings. Since VDSL is somewhat new to India, this thread can help some early adopters.

 

Currently the speeds are decent for fast servers. But single streams are slow due to a bottleneck somewhere.

Frequent Disconnection / ADSL blinking Issue on MTNL Broadband

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 02:19 AM PDT

Hi,

I am a user of 849NU plan of MTNL Triband service since August based out of Navi Mumbai.

All of August, i was very happy to have a lovely connection and good speeds, with a pretty good tariff.
But now since the past 15 days I am suffering from very intermittent net connection.
Although I am connected to the internet, sometimes the webpages take ages to open, and never open, while at other times it opens instantly. Also downloading has the same pattern, sometimes I get very good speeds of upto 200 Kbps, while other times there is no download. Although all download sites show good Triband Speed, but it is the intermittent connection that is the problem.
This problem has crept up in the last 15 odd days, and I have tried everything but no change has been noticed.

Has anyone else faced a similar problem, and if yes, whats the work around. The people at MTNL classify this as a slow connection problem, but that is exactly not the issue, as I do get good speeds intermittently.

Somebody please help me.

Does any bank allow customers under 18 to open a bank account under their own name?

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 01:35 AM PDT

I know many banks have services for customers under 18, but those accounts are opened only on parent's permission, and their accounts are linked to their parent's account, and is not an individual account. My friend is under 18 and wants to open an Individual account. HDFC banks and other banks have limitations for Under 18 accounts like maximum withdrawal limit i.e 2500 Rs per day, and no net banking. Please let me know if there is any bank which allows under 18 people to open an individual bank account

the govts plans to have a biometric national id cards for everyone by 2010.In usa the real id act is facing fierce resistance as 20 states have signed legislation opposition this as well in UK as groups like defyid and no2id.THis national id card makes india a police state,mass surveillance society and blurs the difference btw nazi germany and india.
the supreme court has interpreted that we have the right to privacy which the national id card violates.Why isnt anyone doing to stop this.I contacted times of india ,cnn ibn,ndtv but got no reply?.


we already have voter id card,passport,driver license,ration card,pan card(similar to social security card in us.).EVen is usa the ss card is not to be used as a id card.why do we need a chip card?the only thing that i can think is abut control and monitoring us.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipurpose_National_Identity_Card_(India)
once everyone has this card the govt can track your every move and switch your card if you resist or dissent.

those who give up liberty for security neither deserve liberty nor security-Benjamin Franklin.

Yes Bank User Experience

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 01:01 AM PDT

As part of the process of shutting down my account in Standard Chartered, I am applying for a new savings account in Yes Bank.

One of the primary reason is the 7% interest they give on savings accounts. Apart from that, I have little idea.

Wanted to hear about user experiences about their offline and online services and of course about any hidden charges.

Broadband suggestion for Raipur Chhattisgarh

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 12:27 AM PDT

I used to live in Lakhe Nagar in Raipur but recently shifted to Changorabhata. I was using Airtel in Lakhe Nagar but now it is not available here. Applied for BSNL but they kept saying there is problem, even I was willing to give extra cash to lineman but they didnt gave connection. Called Tikona, their installer checked and said signal is weak (8 dB was available while minimum is 20 dB). Now can anyone please tell me how is the service of bsnl evdo and wimax in Raipur specially in Changorabhata. I applied online for evdo, they called and I asked for demo but he said demo is not available. Does anyone knows about signal of evdo or wimax in raipur. Please reply as soon as possible.

Will BSNL ever change its routing?

Tata Sky DTH now replacing MPEG2 STBs with MPEG4 STBs for free!

Posted: 15 Sep 2013 12:02 AM PDT

We are replacing close to 5-6 million MPEG-2 SD STBs at no cost to consumers over the next year. All of this is coming in from internal accruals.

 

But you need to wait for one more year to see many new channels

 

 

 

We have been adding channels in a phased manner; the process will now be accelerated with the MPEG-4 STB. By June-July next year we should be able to revise our channel offerings to consumers,

PLease Analyze My Plan

Posted: 14 Sep 2013 11:28 PM PDT

I am on 850Rupees 10gb 2mbps plan. My monthly usage is around 15-18gb (I do not require more than 2mbps). What I do is once my 10gb is over around 20th of each month, I use SmartBytes at night to get 1hours of 2mbps at 20rupees (gives me around 500mb in 1 hour). This turns out to be 200 rupees for 5 gb extra theoretically.

 

I want to ask you guys - does it make sense to get a 15gb 2mbps plan sold for 1100rs, or maybe 30gb 2mbps for 1400rs?

 

PS: SpeedonDemand isnt even working anymore !!

Sony BRAVIA Smart Stick

Posted: 14 Sep 2013 01:48 PM PDT

The Sony NSZ-GU1 Google TV device we've seen pop up in FCC filings has been at least partially revealed today, and it's called the Sony BRAVIA Smart Stick. The blog post doesn't specifically mention any Chromecast-style features, but it is an MHL dongle that runs both Google TV and Sony's own BRAVIA apps. The features are just like Google TV boxes Sony has released before, with a remote (that the FCC filings showed is at least similar to the previous ones) that has QWERTY and voice search support. Additionally, its "picture-and-picture" feature lets users see a browser in one window and TV in another.

American Horror Story

Strike back

Posted: 14 Sep 2013 01:23 PM PDT

Synopsis:
Strike Back: Project Dawn, as it is known in the United Kingdom (or just Strike Back in the United States) is a ten-part British-American action serial television series, and the follow up series of Strike Back. However the only cast member to return from the original series was Richard Armitage in his cameo appearance. It was a co-production between British broadcaster, BSkyB (for Sky1) and American premium cable broadcaster, HBO (for Cinemax). The series follows the actions of Section 20, a secret branch of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6).

My opinion:
This show is better than it needs to be. A season has 10 episodes, with a mission per 2 episodes taking place in different locations around the world. There will be a overarching story connecting the 10 episodes. It's like watching 5 decent action movies shot within a TV budget. They still use the locations very well. The action is well choreographed. Being a cinemax (skinimax) show, you can sense the nudity around the corner but it's not really gratuitous like in Starz shows. The first UK season only has 6 episodes but I didn't watch that season. It was revamped in the second season called Strike Back: Project Dawn. I only started watching the show from the second season. The first 2 episodes in Strike Back: Project Dawn takes place in India.

The 2-hour premiere of the third season called Strike Back: Vengeance premiered last Friday.

These are the billing rules I used on Vodafone 3G. Are they correct for Airtel? Cause 3GW counts wrong data usage. Right now it has counted about 100 MB more.

Upload Speeds Indian ISP

Posted: 14 Sep 2013 09:27 AM PDT

Okay let me get my point across quickly ..  I currently get 0.85 mbps upload speed with airtel 

What is the highest upload speed I can get on a broadband connection for my residence in Delhi 
                                                              
                                                             OR

Which ISP in Delhi provides the highest Upload Speed for residence connection ?

                                                       OR

If broadband for residence doesn't have high upload speeds is there any other way like a 3G data card or something by which I can get atleast 2-4 mbps upload speed ?
