If this information is notappearing, then check for correctness of PPPoE configuration in Home->Wan Settings page. Check whether you have entered correct username and password and
Default Gateway is enabled.
5.7 SPEED MEASUREMENT
The speed of Broadband connection can be checked using different ways. The speed can
be checked using DSL tester, online tester available in different web sites and using DSL modems
also. The DSL line can be connected to DSL tester and the line test can be initiated which
ultimately gives the speed parameters. Besides this, there are different websites like
speedtester.bsnl.co.in or mp.bsnl.co.in etc. which provides link to the online speed tester. The link
can be clicked to start the speed test.
5.8 FACTORS EFFECTING SPEED
How fast data is sent towards DSL modem or User’s PC? Obviously it depends on tariff
plan subscribed by the user. But this is not only the factor which decides the speed but there are
other factors too. Some of them are as follows :-
The distance of users DSL modem from DSLAM. Lesser the distance more will be thespeed.
The quality/condition of DSL line w.r.t insulation, no. of joints and wire size.Good insulation, less no. of joints, thicker wire will lead to good speed.
The hardware specification and software availability at users PC may also effect thespeed with which the user can use Broadband services. For example, CPU speed andRAM capacity may have great impact on data throughput on the screen. More CPUspeed and large RAM size can make the Broadband services enjoyable.
The softwares available in PC also effects the speed like BitTorrent, Internet downloadmanager, malicious software like worms etc. This software may eat up large

bandwidth to download desired or undesired applications without users permission,thereby impacting the speed badly.
Some of the utilities like windows update or antivirus update can also effect the speedduring their updation. This utilities can also impact the broadband bill of user as theycross the maximum data usage in case of limited broadband plans.
5.9 SUMMARY
Some of the common problems can be solved by the user himself by a careful
observation. Error code provides clue to the problem. For this Broadband modem must be
configured in Bridge mode. Based on this, user can come to a conclusion & proceed for the
rectification of the problem, if needed, with the help of ISP.
