India Broadband Forum Feed

Has anyone been having a considerable drop in speeds.Been getting low speeds(~1 Mbps) since tuesday.Its a huge turnoff :(. This is my current speed..

You must one of the few lucky ones dude. In my case, BSNL has become a nightmare and the overall quality has only become worse with time. The line quality, customer service, plans etc. have only deteriorated in the last 5 years since I took the broadband. And the bribes charged by linemen for doing their otherwise duty of fixing the lines whenever gone bad is only increasing. A few years ago, the lines used to go mostly during rain, lightning, wind or other natural disturbances but nowadays lines get bad once or twice every month even during proper summer, spring, winter etc. For over two years now there have been no pan-India BSNL broadband plan upgrades. And even when the phone or DSL is working, their servers go down every few days nowadays. Not to mention that their offices are closed almost half of the month due to national, state, local and all possible holidays in sarkari style including their personal chuttis. This makes it often impossible to get the line fixed for prolonged period of time even after paying bribe if the line gets bad in the start or mid of a holiday season. And their worst service is in the circles where they have virtual monopoly due to lack of competition. They do not even move their asses in those circles unless bribed by several hundred rs.
