While the network behaves reasonably well during rest of the day, it becomes slow and unreliable in the late evenings, say after 9pm. At that time, the average ping latency with Airtel DSLAM is about 120 ms (with max reaching 250 ms or more) with 2-5% packet loss. [During rest of the day, it is about 25-30 ms (avg) and hardly any packet loss.] The customer support guys are working for last one month or so, without getting nowhere to the problem. They tried checking the computer interface, changing the modem, tuning the server side and checking the copper link. I am inclined to think that the Airtel network is not scaled enough to take the load of the night users. Can there be some other reason? Is there anybody else (in Gurgaon or elsewhere) facing such problem? I shall appreciate any help in sorting out thus problem. Hi

The modem is Beetel 220BX and i have it running in the bridge mode eversince i got the connection about a year back. Everything was working fine. Recently I bought a new system and installed Vista Ultimate on it. It worked fine for a few days and then the browsing stopped all a sudden. I say browsing, as my eMule was still connected and downloading files without any issues. So I called up Airtel and within one hour their representative was at my side to assist me. He checked a few settings and unbridged the modem and upgraded the firmware for it. The browsing started to work again. But as i needed the modem in bridge mode for the eMule to work properly I configured the device again and got the eMule working. I was able to browse sites and get the eMule working again. But there is one really annoying thin which is still there. I am not able to connect to any Microsoft site. It is only possible when I unbridge the modem. But this makes the eMule unusable. Airtel tech support is unable to help at this point as all other sites are opening up. Would appreciate any help in this matter. My system specification are: ASUS CROSSHAIR Motherboard ASUS EN7900GT PCIe 2 X Corsair 1 GB Modules 2 X Seagate 160 GB SATA drives Window Vista Ultimate OEM Edition Hi,
