Totally agree that is better than the other consumer ISPs in Mumbai. I was merely giving you a data point since you solicited feedback re: their service. The throughput is consistent around 226 Kbps. IMO, if MTNL can get it's act together on the support end, they could give the other ISPs a run for their money - you get a landline and Internet in one package :)
Regarding the 502T modem, I ran into a couple of
weird behaviors:
1. Need MSIE to program port forwardingrules! I cannot not
program any port forwarding rule using Firefox
(Linux and Windoze)
or Konqueror.
No problems at all with mozilla, FF, Konqueror or
lynx (only used
lynx for reading something on the modem). Debian sarge.
Thanks, this gives me a data point. I have static IP and just logged in to modem (FF 1.0.6 SuSE 9.3). Same problem, some of the graphics of the pages do not load :( Time to follow up with the DLink guys. If you could send me the firmware version it would be great. -- Arun Khan Linux is like a wigwam - no gates, no windows, apache inside
I also have MTNL broadband, have taken the DSL 1250 plan, It works out to be @ 1700 per month with the ADSL router monthly charges. Dont buy the router from MTNL, since the D-Link router gives problems and they had to replace it twice. The speed is excellent and they give a fixed IP with this plan, Their support sucks though, the engineers dont have a clue as to whats going on. However when it works, which is most of the time it is excellent. Since you have a router, you can connect it to your hub and can use either linux or windows, dosent matter..
