[Resolved]  BSNL Adsl Modem — Very Poor Performance

Address:

Bangalore Rural, Karnataka

The BSNL approved ADSL Modem AN1020-21 is the only one available and I am forced to buy that for aabout Rs. 2200/- from a private distributor. The Modem itself is apparently manufactured by a company called Vuppalamrudha Magnetics in Hyderabad. The performance of the modem is the worst I have ever seen. My previous ADSL modem worked 5 times better on the same set of lines and peripherals.
:
This is what I found. I dont know whether it is a problem with the modem or the BSNL Broadband port at the exchange.

1. The SpeedTest for LAN connection shows between 75 and 85 kbps as
against a speed of 384 kbps promised to consumers by BSNL

2. The SpeedTest for WLAN connection with my Lenovo Laptop which is placed
at a distance of 5 feet from the modem is just 22 to 30 kbps. There should
be no such difference normally between LAN and WLAN speeds.

3. I have tried all suggested configurations and nothing improves the performance.

I have suffered from very poor BSNL broadband services for the last 6 months. Their Broadband uptime is much smaller than their downtime.

I hope the behemoth called BSNL improves its services for those o[censored]s who still like to go to them because they are INDIAN.
