BSNL Broadband to offer 2 Mbps connection

This is The Future

The great news for all the BSNL BroadBand Customers is that its going to offer high speed internet broadband connectivity to its subscribers. According to The Hindu Report, BSNL Telecom Service which is offering a maximum of 256 kbps internet connectivity to its subscribers will offer upto 2mbps connectivity.

Mr.Maran has announced this at the India Telecom 2006 conference. The main bit is that BSNL would offer high speed broadband at the existing price.

Transforming the telecom connectivity into a network to provide seamless access between the knowledge creators/converters and knowledge consumers.
 – A. P. J Abdul Kalam at India Telecom 2006 Conference.

I personally feel that this great upgrade is silently impacting the Vision 2020 of India. Maybe people who are using 256kbps connection already enjoyed downloading movies, games and other stuffs although they have some download limit but using the no count timings.

This upgrade will surely influence other Internet Service providers in India and hurray i think my service provider will do something to compete BSNL. But recently a French telecom and internet service provider decided to provide 2GB per second connectivity to all its customers.

Anyways this was just a great news for users like us,now the chance of exploring Internet has widenup and surely webmasters like me love to see traffic in our site.

    Yeah, The report looks authentic for me, but it will surely take more time to come. Say next 5 – 6 years or so. By that time the world will be enjoying 107 GBps

    Guys,

    I stay in Koramangala, tel 25527936, bandwidth has not upgraded from 256Kbps to 2Mbps. I have D-Link GLB-502T with Netgear. Is someone getting 2Mbps from koramangala exchange? Also, do I need to change some setting on ADSL modem?

    actually there wont be any difference in browsing but to confirm that you have upgraded try downloading a file more than 90mb and check the download time… it will reliably be faster..

    you don’t have to change u r adsl modem in this case.. if you cannot experience the download speed change then its due that your location koramangala in bangalore will be updated soon…

    first we want to do
    first change ur ip from dynamic to static ip address
    to do this
    goto ->control panel->network and internet connections->network connections->local area network->properties->general tab->internet protocol (tcp/ip)->properties
    enable “use the following ip address” radio button
    type ip address as 192.168.1.2 ,
    subnetmask as 255.255.255.0 ,
    default gateway as 192.168.1.1 and
    preffered dns server as 208.67.222.222
    alternate dns server as 208.67.220.220

    press ok to close internet protocol properties window and local area connection window….

    2nd STEP

    then
    goto ur browser page (type 192.168.1.1 in ur browser and give username and password as admin)
    goto->advanced setup->NAT->DMZ Host……
    in DMZ Host ip address (type ur static ip) 192.168.1.2
    press save/aplly button

    3rd step
    opening a port in ur firewall:
    before doing the following steps make sure that ur firewall is ON
    goto ->control panel->network and internet connections->network connections->local area network->properties->advanced tab->windows firewall settings->exceptions
    press addport button
    give anyname u want and portnumber as 8080(u shld give the same port number in bittorrent) and press ok………

    finally in bittorrent or Utorrent
    press preferences tab
    in “connection” give 8080 as ur portnumber in “port used for incoming connections”
    disable “randomize port each time bittorrent starts”
    max upload speed =20-40 kbps

    in “bittorrent” set 2000 as ur global max no. of connections
    max no.of connected peers per torrent as 2000,

    Hi,

    Is this going to apply for the existing unlimited plans(like UL 750)?

    Step 1:
    IP address as 192.168.1.2 will not work on some of the routers that have USB connectivity in addition to ethernet.
    Use something like 192.168.1.20 for better compatibility.

    Step 2:
    The DMZ is to be used only for web servers and stuff. It completely overrides any security that NAT provides.

    Step 3:
    Same as above. Allowing incoming connections to port 8080 directly is a bad idea.

    Step 4:
    Setting 2000 max connections per torrent will increase overhead considerably and thus decrease speed. Use the calculator:
