Question

I have a 56Kbps modem and a dial up connection. I had upplied for BroadBand connection from BSNL. They said they wont configure the connection if i have my own modem, all that they can give me is User ID, Password and IP address and they gave all that info. I tried making a connection using all these details but all time getting error 759 or 760.
1. So does anyone know how to configure ur connection for BroadBand? (especially BSNL)
2. Does a 56Kbps modem works with BroadBand?

As i have not been able make the connection on my own, have decided to take a type 1 modem on rental from BSNL. So please give me the answer soon and Save my money.
(Monthly rental charges for a modem is Rs.80/- )

Answer 1

A 56k modem is NOT a broadband modem, that's why you're having trouble connecting. A regular phone modem (like your 56k modem) works in the sub-4kHz band on the telephone line, the portion used by POTS ("plain old telephone service", it's really called that). Broadband ADSL uses the frequency band above 4 kilohertz on the phone line to allow much, much faster transmission rates but it requires a special ADSL modem. That's what they rent to you.

Answer 2

the answer is NO you need a broad band modem to make a connection

you can buy your own broadband modem it will be cheaper than renting one from the ISP. though this company don't seem to be a good company if they did not inform you that a dial in modem would not work,
and just sold you the service. and will not configure the connection if you have your own modem

Answer 3

In short, no.

A 56k modem is good for a dial-up connection.

Broadband refers to the use of the phone line, but not in competition with your phone. It requires a broadband modem or wireless connection depending on your provider.

They are not compatible technologies.

Answer 4

56kbps modem is made for dial up provider. adsl modems are created from broadband provider. those 2 centers are completely distinctive for this reason modems at the instant are not comparable. the two take a adsl modem on hire from bsnl(not recomended by skill of me) in any different case bye it from any computing device shop.

Answer 5

you need a broadband modem
do you have dsl or cable connection?
and a ethernet port on your computer?
if you go with a trusted company like cox or bell south etc
you dont need to know much about any of this!
tho it can help!
you can get a modem at best buy or office depot for about $50+-
or ebay for $20 or less

make sure you buy a modem for the service you have! dsl or cable!
tho i would recommend you get your service provider to supply and install everything! it will cost a good bit more but will be worry free! or even try just talking to a salesman etc at a store like best buy the will tell you everything you need and will know with your area and most likely your isp if the store is local!
good luck!

Answer 7

No, You need a broadband modem.

Buy it over the Internet for the best prices.

Check with your ISP for a list of compatible modems.

Answer 8

Answer 9

your 56k is irrelevant. Your broadband provider will give you a high speed modem
P.S. They are probably assuming you have a high speed modem

Answer 10

No, buy something a little newer with more capabilities.
