Hello,
Today at one place I was amazed to see triband going out of control.
DVDs getting downloaded in one hour, large files in minutes. It was an
unlimited 512 Kbps scheme but was overclocking. In between it would come
down to 600 to 700 KBytes per second, otherwise it was above 1 MBytes
per sec. It was the AT&T server connection (username@a). While this
utopia is in bloom since a week or two and may last a few days more, It
shows that our telephone lines are capable of giving 22 Mbps which I
actually saw in the new D-Link modem stats. Upload 1 Mbps and download
max. 22 Mbps. Seeing is believing.
Gosh! MTNL when will you open your tap to full? We could be on a
virtual LAN and share files with each other just like the cablewalas do
in some areas.

Did you take a screenshot of it? I would want to see a screenshot
at-least. May be you may not be able to post it since the host would
be running Windows XP ;) (Or does one need to tweak something to get
such a speed?) (And I remember ADSL2+ is capable of 24 Mbps. Are they
(MTNL) in the offering? )

Possibly it might be some burst speed. However, I don't think I know
much about ADSL to comment.
My download speeds for ISOs using torrents have been good enough
during day / night. I just hope that they reduce their rates.

The machines are running on Ubuntu. Even in Windows XP,
to take a
screenshot, one has to simply click on the 'Prt Scr' button on the
keyboard and the screenshot is copied to the clipboard. Then open your
favourite application and paste the image into it. No tweaking was done
for speed. It is just a temporary thing that should last till the month
end or till the MTNL guys find out.

I've applied for a MTNL TriBand 256 'unlimited' connection but the
gestation period I am told is one and a half months. "Aap ko kam se
kam one and a half months wait karna padega boss, Khali ports nahi hai
naa" was the reply from the MTNL staff. MNTL is really really bad when
they are bad and as Rony pointed out lavish when they wish to be
lavish.
Hope this overflow seeps into the 256 scheme also :-)
