I had one of my clients install MTNL ADSL broadband 256kbps. It has been up for about 2 months. So far it is working very well and has had almost zero outages. It has worked far far better than i had expected and beats any of the private isps. The bandwidth varies between 220 and 224kbps. With occasional drops to 216kbps. The dns is sloow but not a problem with a local caching dns.The MTNL engineers were very enthusiastic and spent several hours learning how to set up the dlink adsl modem.Apparently dlink / mtnl dont train their people. Any one with any more experiences before we can recommend it to all.

Hi. I have talked to some of my friends and they have good things to say about MTNL ADSL. The speeds are ok. Are you planning to teach MTNL engineers on a regular basis? I would like to learn too ^^ I have seen people use MTNL ADSL but I've not got my hands on it :( If you have any plans to setup any more connections, I would love to observe the process! I would be even more interested if you're doing it on a *nix machine :D

yep. But that was solely because he mentioned he was doing it for his "clients"....
you mean linux is unfit for clients?

I never said that and neither did I remotely imply that. I just used the law of probability. The probability of a given person using Windows is kinda high, you know ;) Just about 98% of the world's desktop computers run windows AND I don't know who sherlock's clients are, SO again using the law of probability I assumed they must be running desktop computers as it's highly unlikely (again law of probability) that servers would use MTNL's ADSL link but there are always exceptions :P
