I have been using MTNL triband for more than a month now and yes I can include myself in one of their happy customers 
The speeds are very good, there is no downtime at all..till now I have not seen my net connection going down…(apart from daily disconnection at 11.54 in the night..I think it’s for NU plan…)
They have plans ranging from Rs. 199 (400 MB – 256 kbps) to Rs. 9,999 (18 GB – 2mbps) a month
The plans are very good value to money and you get what you pay for..not like local cable operators who charge more and give less…
Let me move on to everything step by step:
Requirements: You need a MTNL telephone line, machine with at least Windows 98 installed (of course you can use it on Linux or other OS too but they won’t be able to help you with that), Ethernet Card
- Registration Process: The registration process is very easy, you have to visit their telephone exchange, fill small form and submit it. The registration fees are Rs. 300 and Rs. 500 initial deposit for modem (if you are going to use their modem). If you have your own modem then you do not need to pay Rs. 500 extra. These charges will be added in your telephone bill. You can also register by calling them on their helpline number 1500 (Mumbai) but there is kind of risk in that, they might put wrong plan under your telephone number. It had happened to me, instead of NU plan, they had put me in pay as per use plan. (I will talk about it more later in this post)
- Time Required: They require around 1 week of time to get the things rolling but if it takes more than a week then it means that the time has come to visit telephone exchange and enquire about it. Reasons for delay can be problems with local server computer, issues with work orders etc…But visiting them personally will solve the issues quickly.
- Installation: Their person will call you before visiting your place, there is nothing much to install actually. You just need to change your IP settings and configure the modem with your username and password. The guy will configure the stuff for you and the things should start running in 10 minutes max.
- Things to be taken care of: First change your modem admin panel’s password. The admin panel is located here: http://192.168.1.1/ (that’s the default location)…the default username and password will be admin and admin. Now since it is very easy to guess so it is better to change it….to change the password, logon to the admin panel, click on tools tab and type in the new password.
- Troubleshooting: There is generally no problem with the net connection and you do not need to contact triband support…but if you are contacting them for some technical problem then do not expect them to solve your problem…you won’t find technically sound people, (of course they will be able to fix very basic problems) they will just have answers ready on their screen so if they see something which is not in their answer sheet then…they will give you complaint number and then be ready to follow it…you might need to visit the telephone exchange if they don’t reply in couple of days
or the best way would be, use google for technical errors you get, its very easy to trace out the problems - Customer Support: The people at MTNL (telephone exchange as well as on phone) are very polite and helpful but the only thing they lack is resources, they are ready to help you with their best but they don’t have enough resources, answers ready to help…The other part is, they do not have enough customer support executives (which again comes under resources but worth mentioning it again)…now you will get idea about it when you call them…when you dial 1500 or 1504, you will have option to dial 1 for Marathi, 2 for Hindi and 3 for English…whatever number you press the answer will be in Hindi or Marathi…so this shows that they really need some English speaking and technically sound people…
Here is my short story about their customer support:
I applied for Triband NU plan over the phone, I got confirmation with the registration number…I waited for a week or so, still no one has visited my place for installation, I called them up on their helpline, I was asked to confirm it with the telephone exchange people…I visited telephone exchange…enquire about the net connection….lady at the helpdesk wrote something on the paper and asked me to meet someone inside the office…I managed to find that person after asking few people…I gave her details about my registration…she told me, due to some server issues the person couldn’t come to my place but he will be there after 2 days…and dot after 2 days person came to my place and setup the net
So that part was over, I was very happy with the connection and was waiting to test out download speeds in the night…started the download…was getting around 25-27kbps on torrent downloads…I checked my online usage on their site…and was bit shocked to see the different name in the plan…I had applied for NU plan and it showed me TRIB_AA which is pay as per use plan…I called their helpline at 1.30 AM, I was not expecting anyone to pickup the phone but a lady picked up the phone, I told her about it, she also confirmed that its TRIB_AA, they have not given me NU plan…she asked me to call 1500 and get it changed…I called the other number…it was ringing…so I called in the morning and was asked to visit telephone exchange…I visited telephone exchange, the lady at the helpdesk asked me to meet some person inside (the same person I had met last time), I met her and gave the details…she looked in her files and told me that 1500 people told us to give TRIB_AA plan so we gave you the same…so…what next? She asked me to visit helpdesk and fill the form to change the plan, I did that…I got some receipt…and was told that it will be done within a day….I waited for 2 days…nothing happened…I visited their office again…I was told that someone did not close my earlier support ticket so it will be done once this ticket is closed by 1500 people…I asked her to do something and get it done…she called some person…and closed the support ticket and gave me new work order number….and told me that it will be done in a 2-3 days as the computer of the person who manages this was not working…..
I waited for 2 days, nothing happened, I called directly to the person whom I had met earlier (in the office)…I gave her my work order number and asked to check the status…she told me, she has not received work order from helpdesk and she will try to get it today and it will be done in 2 days…
Today, her last day of her “2 days”….
So I hope the plan gets changed by tonight…
Update – 12th Nov.: They deleted my account by mistake and it will be activated on monday….
Update 2 – 12th Nov.: My net is back….and now it shows me NU Plan
So this whole incident proves that, they lack proper customer support system, customers have to meet people who are in the testing room and get the things done, there is more of paper work than computerized things…so this leads to slow implementation of things…so being helpful and polite does not help, the people should be active and quick at the same time…..
So, to end the review….Pros include:
- Very flexible plans for everyone
- Less installation and registration charges
- Very good speeds
- Reasonable rates compared to other ISPs like TATA, Sify etc..
- No downtime or very less downtime
- Customer Support – very helpful people and very polite
Cons include:
- Takes time to fix the problem
- Lacks proper support system to solve user problems
- Customers still have to visit the telephone exchange to fix certain problems…it should be made online and with ease
I think above points should be enough to point out pros and cons of the MTNL Triband..
I hope you guys like it
Update: Don’t forget to read my bad experience with MTNL Guys
Apparently MTNL has upgraded their “limited” ADSL to 2Mbps and it works great !
Now I am facing a problem:
1. If I use PPPoE mode, then most P2P ports are blocked and the speed on emule,shareaza,torrents etc is pathetic
2. If I use bridge mode, then the speed is amazing. BUT if the connection gets broken then the dld session is wasted and I will have to disconnect/login again…
As I see it, the only soln is to use PPPoE mode and enable port forwarding on some ports….Any other options ?

cheers dude !
Dear deep,
just wanted to know that can we receive the detailed billing in the triband offered by MTNL. ie. list of all the sites visited and info of data downloaded..
GLB 502T router can be configured as instructed in their manual. MOST IMPORTANT TELEPNONE LINE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY DISTURBANCE. Router’s FIRMWARE NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED & IT HAS OVERHEATING Problem, due, which it gets, disconnected… blow air through the cooling ports and it will again reconnect. As in deeps blog, (mentioned above) keep the router upside down or inclined to keep its heated airflow upward for sufficient cooling. D-Link should come out with the solution. Is their R&D being done at customer cost?
I always forgot 2 restart Router at Midnight is there any way by which a s/w will restart the router at given time
Guys, BSNL broadband have reduced their rates substantially. They offer 1GB for Rs.250 and an incredible 2.5GB for only Rs.500 (effective Jan 07). Check out their rates at: http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm
In contrast MTNL Triband looks expensive at Rs.399 for 700MB and Rs.749 for only 1.25GB. Their rates are at: http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm#tariff
Consdidering that MTNL caters to the big metros of India one would think that they would offer better rates than BSNL that caters to only smaller towns.
How can we bring this to the attention of MTNL and have them change their rates in light of the above? (I cannot wait to get my hands on the Rs.500-for-2.5GB plan
Any thoughts?
MTNL offers better plan in Delhi but their suck in Mumbai, for example, they have unlimited download plan in Delhi for quite sometime but here there is no such plan. Basically MTNL people here are kind of careless, they just want to stick to the stuff they have. (Yea, I know 2 mbps was a good move but introducing some “Good” plan would have been a better move)
Hi.
i have a Linksys WAG200G wireless ADSL Router, does anyone know how to configure it.
I need an unlimited plan which wd i get ??? suggest me…
Dataone broadband rock….
I need an unlimited plan 2mbps ?
i pay rate below 900/- rs. only….
reply me…

Firstly go up the page and read my method to configure your router in bridge mode. This is essential.
Go and download this software which I found does the job very well.
from here:
http://tucows.mundofree.com/win2k/preview/38161.html or here :
Note: After you install the program do not run it. Right click on the shortcut of Netlaunch and enable compatibility mode. Set it to Windows 98. I had to do this in Windows XP.
Now you can run the program.
In preferences->connections select your Triband connection. Make Schedule to Disconnect at 11:59pm. Add that. Make Schedule to Connect at 12.01am. Add that. Make Schedule to Disconnect at 8am.
You can also set it to reconnect after disconnection.
Thats it !…the benefit of bridge mode is that you dont need to turn on/off the router at 12am ! you can just connect and disconnect !
Cheers and enjoy all !

dont schedule to reconnect at 12.01am…make it about 12.20 or so… u never know the time sync or MTNL servers !
last month i got a huge bill of Rs700. I have the plan of Rs199 per month with 400MB download free. I have not downloaded or surfed to receive this amt of bill. Could U plz inform me whether the MTNL employees really use the service. How to change he password of admin at 192.168.1.1 ?? PLz help me out. will the internet connection be there even after changing the password. My internet connection often goes. for two months i didn’t have connection. i did complain but no response from their end. my password keeps on changing automatically. the mtnl employees ask us whether we changed or not. SO PLZ HELP ME OUT
Hi Lina,
Actually changing the password of 192.168.1.1 will not help much, though u should chage it from default admin/admin to admin/
The method of changing this password depends on the make of the ADSL Modem/Router u use. for changing in Dlink GLB502T, just go to User Management under Setup or Tools menu of http://192.168.1.1 and change the password there.
this will just change the password of ur Modem / Router.
What actually u need to change is the password of the account u use. to change the password, go to http://register.mtnl.net.in and login
on the subsequent page select “Change Service Password” on the left hand side menu (6th Option)
the old password is the CA No. appearing on ur Telephone bill.
After changing this password, u will have to reconfigure ur ADSL Router to incorporate this password into the Router. to do this,
Step 1 : Log into the web configuration of the router by typing the IP address http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. A prompt for user name and password should appear. Type ‘admin’ as username and password which u would have changed in step 1 above under Usermanagement of Router
Step 2 : Click on setup and then the existing connection for PPPoE. Configure the modem as per the values given below:
Change the password here, the password is the new password which u have selected under register.mtnl.net.in site.
Click apply
after this go to Tools and go to service commands
and click save all
This will save the New password into the Router.
DONE!!!
if any difficulties, pls write back

Hello,
I am using VOIP s/w called Sifys Way2talk. Thru this I am unable to make a call.
I am user of MTNL Broadband (400 p.m) pack.
My other VOIP s/w is working and Yahoo Voice chat is happening thru this.
Its only when I use this Way2talk it blocked. I feel there is something which is blocking from my DLink modem. Also my Firewall is also off.
Hope to here from you soon.
Thankx
Lawrence
@Priyanka:
I have no idea how to configure your modem.But most modems can be configured thru http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0…the username is generally admin or root
@Lawrence:
MTNL may be blocking access to the sify VOIP gateway..if so u will not be able to do anything…
try another VOIP software such as http://www.gizmocall.com which is anyway cheaper than Sify
and another thing…The MTNL login screen at register.mtnl.net.in is not encrypted and the password is in plain text ( I was able to see my username and password using a packet sniffer)….so theoretically if MTNL runs a packet sniffer at their gateway they can sniff out anything they like…
Has anyone tried using the username and password to access the internet on another phone ? ( I mean surf the net, not just login at register.mtnl.net.in)
I have linksys WRT4G wireless broadband router. How do I configure this with MTNL Triband. I have ustar adsl modem.
@Edwin
I followed your solution and configured my modem to Bridge mode.
The problem is that NetLaunch is unable to connect to the internet at any scheduled time. It can disconnect from the internet at a scheduled time if I am already connected but cannot reconnect automatically
Please help!
@Mrinal
Maybe NetLaunch does not work with your PC…try and download another dialer…there are plenty of them available on the net. I suggested this one cause it was free
Trying to debugg myself

I have been using mtnl broadband with Dlink moderm, it was working fine for the last 6 months…however now I have not been able to connect to the internet these are the symptoms

2) My System cannot ping any internet site
3) The ADSL light that used to be on has started blinking randomly
Has any one faces similar issue … is it some problem at my end or MTNL exchange end. what can be the issue…any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I am using the D-Link GLB-502T and setup was hell until I came across your site and got the bridge setup done.
Now I have a new problem. I have just got a macbook and and an airport expess for wireless connection. I am now back to square one with setting it up as the connection is a bridge connection and not a PPPoE connection.
I need to set up a base station as they call it in Apple talk and then set up the PPPoE connection. Since the GLB-502T is set up in Bridge mode, obviously that did not work. When setting up the PPPoE connection settings it gave a message saying that the base station needs to be set up in Bridge mode, which I did. Even after that I am still not able to connect to the net.
I have now connected directly via ADSL – not wireless and am able to connect to the net that way.
Has anyone tried to connect the GLB-502T with a wireless set up? I think the problem and solution should be similar regardless of the make of the wireless device.
Would really appreciate a reply and possible solution – I’ve spent the entire weekend banging my head on this!
Thanks
Hi Deven,
I have set up Wireless Many Times with GLB 502T. It really Doesnt Matter in which mode u are connecting to internet. it may be bridge or PPPoE. Just one tweak, Connect the Cable from ur ADSL Router to the LAN Port of your Wireless instead of the WAN Port. this will bring both the devices on the same network. Just ensure that ur wireless is allowing only ur computer (may be password Protected, WEP Key Enabled or MAC Address Based.)
u may call me if u want.

MTNL outsources the Triband with some other private sector company, they r not allowed to touch the servers and the company person comes and solves the problem if any ,
thats why u get bad support ,
i think they should outsource the helpdesk too with that company.

Hi,
I am having MTNL Triband Internet connection. I have tried to configure wireless connection to my existing MTNL connection.
I have a D-Link ADSL 502T wired router and a linksys wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GC. In the wireless router all the ports are for rj-45. I don’t know where to connect my phone line port, which is of rj-11 type.
I connected Internet port of linksys wireless router with my existing wired d-link router but no luck.
My question is do I need d-link wired router (502T) in the whole wireless setup?
My Configuration:
Linksys Wireless router IP 192.168.1.5
D-Link ADSL router IP 192.168.1.1
laptop1 —— linksys —– D-Link ADSL — phone line.
When my laptop is connected with wireless router, I can’t ping my ADSL(192.168.1.1), it says request timeout.
Can anyone please help me in this regard.
Warm Regards,
Naseem Khan
Hi Naseem,
Yes u will need both ADSL as well as ur Linksys Router
to Configure the same, follow these steps :
1. Configure ur ADSL so that internet is available to ur comp with wired network.
2. Configure ur Comp to Communicate to The Wireless Router (Linksys)
Now Connect the Network Cable Coming from ur Adsl into one of the RJ45 ports of Linksys
Ur DNS and Gateway of ur wireless network card on ur comp should be that of ADSL i.e. 192.168.1.1
After this ur Computer should be able to Ping to 192.168.1.1
if it pings ur system is ready for wireless Internet
if required call me on +919820444236

hey guys looks like most of you guys are hapy with MTNL.
But not me.
I have a 2 mbps connection and get a download speed of 45 kbps max.I read that someone said tat download speed depends on connection speed by 8.
that is for me 2048/8=256. and i get 45 kbpsfrom every website/server. i even tried http://WWW.speedtest.net and it gave me 60kbps and a ping of 1300ms.
And more over my adsl gets disconnected every 10 minutes and i cannot even play any online games properly because of low speed and frequent disconnections.I tried to contack MTNL Costumer care but no use they say they will send someone and that person would never reach my home.I waited for 2 months and called them every 3 days.and finally after 2 months one man came and changed the line from Distribution Port and that increased the disconnection time from 10 minutes to 20 minutes.
Thats My story
Ayush,
which is the ADSL Modem u are using ? is it GLB 502 T From DLink ? if so, check if it gets heated up. the frequent disconnection problem may be because of this ir may be the problem is with ur telephone line. as u said the download speed is slow, try surfing the net during night hours.i get 2Mbps speed. ur disconnection and speed problem seems to be of Telephone line disturbance or Parallel line connection. for this use a splitter.
I face the problem of disconnection when i get a call on mtnl line and is received. if it is not received, it does not disconnects. after this is reconnects and when the phone is hung up then too Internet disconnects.
Regards,
Kiran Jain
I also have problem of internet disconnection when we use the phone. Once you switch off the modem and switch on it gets connected in two minutes.
Also, I plan to be abroad for six months. What is the most economical way to keep the phone and DSL connection in safe custody. Also I don’t want to wait for a long period for the service to satrt when I come back.Urgent please.
I have Rs.399 per month connection + Rs.80 for the modem.
Thanks in advance.
my pc reboots when i enable my internet account..please reply to the query..have i got infected by virus
Disconnection problems/while picking up phone :
The cause of this is high capacitance on parallel telephone lines due to long length. You can solve this by putting filters on every parallel telephone connection. There is 1 input and 2 outputs on a splitter. You will only need to use the Line input and Tel output i.e. DSL output will be unused. Filters are available for about Rs 100.
Slow speeds:
I have found one cause of slow speed to be the USB connection. Second cause of slow speed is distance from the exchange. Third cause of slow speed is old and rusted wiring to your ADSL modem.
Sharing ADSL connection/VOIP ATA:
For this the ideal mode for the router is PPPOE.I have configured my GLB-502T to connect to my Linksys PAP2 through the LAN port while it connects to my PC through USB, so I can use the ATA even when the PC is off. If you dont want to use USB conn then get a 8-port switch and plug the wires (no configuration needed). Make sure that both LAN and USB are on LAN Group 1 in the config. In the same way you can connect it to a Wi-Fi router.
Help Needed in iNet Sharing(Xp-HB Vista)

naseem,
phone line goes to the d-link modem.
Connect a LAN cable from modem to one of the LAN ports of Linksys ,and connect your PC on one of the other switch ports. Do not use the Internet port of Linksys at all. You should be good to go with this setup!
