	Atul Chitnis : BSNL Broadband III
		On the morning of the 7th of April, BSNL DataOne went down, and every single subscriber that I know of in Bangalore and Chennai (probably elsewhere as well) was either disconnected or experiencing speeds slower than a 14.4kbps dialup modem.
		BSNL routes its international traffic via VSNL, and a few simple traceroutes showed that VSNL was choking BSNL traffic at their main international router, and also sending them through HongKong on both the outgoing and incoming route, with major satellite hops (easily identifiable by 500-600 ms gains).
		Sadly, no one seems to have told BSNL services at 1957 and 1600-424-1600 this: as of this morning, we were again told "server down" and "there is no problem" by the two call centres.
