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. -- Roshan Baladhanvi

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 :-)
