MTNL's triband is getting from bad to worse with connectivity problems, when I need it the most.
It is surprising for /me/ to note this. I assume, the causes could be
a. The (longer) distance of your (exchange's?) DSLAM from the place of installation. (Wire quality, QoS etc.) b. The SNR (or Line Attenuation) on your line. c. A parallel line (telephone at your home) of the same number.
Solutions: a. Probably doesn't have a /concrete/ solution. Authorities at MTNL would have to be notified of it.
b. If the line is running in parallel to other (affecting) lines, the SNR may have increased, there _might_ be differences in your speed. Line Attenuation might also be another cause. Reducing it by some means, could help.
c. Parallel lines, may be a cause for line attenuation. (Assuming that signals are relayed to a non-receiving device). A single line from the exchange, would be plugged, in the filter. Two other wires, one to the DSL router, and the other to the phone. Bas! That's it. There should be some improvement.
Ofcourse, if you have tried these, and Triband doesn't serve the purpose well, you can switch to a different provider.
