However the router settings says:

looks ok, upstreams are usually lower (1/4th) than down unless you are on leased (1:1).

your lan ip address = your D.G.

Did you try shutting your system for long periods and then use net? ( long = 1min plus for you:P). Sometimes static charges can cause problem.

e_l; the phone part can be posted in the joke section

mcl; its a free connection right? So shutup

I had a similar problem. I am not even a little technical like these guys, so take my advice with a large grain.

McL, in the recent past, have you installed an Anti Virus software with some firewalling capabilities? The problem lies there.

I had an identical issue. I could surf the internet and do what i liked. I could not send emails using my pop3 program (receiving was fine) and I could not upload anything to Photobucket or Imageshack etc.

I went to the firewall settings of my program and allowed access and everything worked fine after this.

Jk, though none of what you said made any sense to me being the ever so stupid non-technical that I am. I have tried shutting off the PC for long periods of time. Like two days too. And no the net is not free. I pay 900 bucks for it and it better work.

Yes, sam I have indeed installed Norton Antivirus 2007. But that was a couple of months back. Since then I have been able to upload lots of stuff on my Tata Indicom connection and also subsequently the BSNL 2mbps line too. This problem seems to have started only since the shift to the unlimited plan. And for the last two days even download speeds have come down drastically from 28+KBPS to under 15KBPS. All I can do with this connection is surf, sometimes even web pages are not loading.

Though, I will try giving full access in my firewall settings. I hope you are right. If you are, will buy you a packet of pop corn when you come down

BSNL does not have a 2Mbps unlimited plan. If you opt for the unlimited 900 plan your speed is restricted to 256Kbps.

The home 500 and other limited plans have speeds that can go upto 2Mbps depending on traffic.

Vidyut, I am aware of the tariffs. The 2mbps line came with a 1GB limit which was later changed to the UL900 plan. Yes, it is 256Kbps. Limited plans make no sense for me. And bloody airtel has not yet reached my area.

Vid6639 · 10th August 2007, 10:44

Which modem do you have? Huawei or UTstar. BSNL modems give a lot of problems. Mine has been changed twice.

Inturn if you have some contacts it is possible to reset your port from the exchange.

Does the link light remain on teh whole time or does it keep changing colour. The huawei modem has a link LED which turns green when the connection is dropped and orange when it's connected.

Vid, its the UTstarcom modem. I tried to connect using my billion modem I got for the Tata connection. But it won't work. Or do these modems work with certain connections only?

I can have the port reset.

This modem has 5 lights. Power, DSL, Internet, Ethernet, USB. USB doesn't glow obviously. Ethernet & Internet lights keep flickering. Don't know if that is common.

Vid6639 · 10th August 2007, 10:54

Yup ethernet internet lights will flicker with data transfer.

The tata indicom modem wont work as tata indicom is DSL line whereas BSNL uses ADSL.

rahul_intlad · 10th August 2007, 11:18

@mcl it is only because of the very very slow uploading speeds of the unlimited 900 plan from bsnl you are unable to upload,in the 2mbps plan your uploads where also much faster,
in bsnl upload speed != download speed

If you plan to upload stuff then you have to shift away from the 900UL plan which gives about 3-4 KBPS upload speeds.In case of very slow upload speeds the servers to which you are uploading stuff time you out frequently.

Airtel broadband offers sdsl so your download and upload speeds are the same,don't know what tech tata use.

mclaren1885 · 10th August 2007, 11:26

Rahul, looks like I have no choice but to revert back to my Tata connection. What you said makes perfect sense. I have already sent for a request to the Tata guys to see if I could have my tariff changed to 512kbps plan. And provide some better service than have no service at all after paying so much.

I have the same unlimited 900 plan on BSNL for last one year with no problems whatsoever in uploading files. I don't think you need to change the ISP.

Then why don't you drop by home in your free time and have a look. I am going bonkers with each passing day.

mclaren1885 · 28th August 2007, 11:57

Don't know what the problem was but I got the BSNL guys to reset my port. For some odd reason I could upload some 50+ pics over the last 3 days. But since morning the problem has begun yet again. Can't upload ANYTHING. In this whole month that I have had the connection I have been able to upload just for 3 days.

chetan · 28th August 2007, 15:01

this has happened to me before the problem is too much traffic...since the plan is unlimited more and more people are going in for this plan....rahul check your phone line see if it connected to the wall jack, check the splitter the line might have come off, check the receiver of your phone

mclaren1885 · 28th August 2007, 15:04

Done checking all that Chetan. There seems to be no issues with that. Like you said, its either heavy traffic or like Tadu mentioned BSNL could have a limit to your upload and download after which this error comes up.

Something I have noticed is that in between uploads sometimes the connection is lost. So I can imaging then why it wont upload. But even when connection is steady, it will download torrents at a good rate but wont upload only. I guess this has to be attributed to the pathetic upload speeds BSNL has. For some odd reason, I am able to upload now. Don't know when I will face this issue again.
