Interesting!!! Their service is not that bad. I'm not sure from where you are, but did you try to meet with the DE in your regional Exchange?

I tried! i don't know what exactly is a DE? but i tried to visit there officer! but he was not in his cabin! i tried again, and he was again not there!!

am planning to take a picture of his empty cabin and post on the blog! i know it is not of much use, but that's the only thing i can do!

[src2206]

DE means District Engineer. If you are not getting him, shot a letter to him taking a received copy for yourself. Then write a letter to the GM(General Manager) of your area HQ with a copy of the letter describing the harrasment that you are going through. Beleive me, there will be action. In Govt organisation, you need to explore the proper channel to voice your opinion..and I am suggesting this from my experience.

He is right. I faced problem also, but I went thru a proper channel and met general Manager and mine problem was solved within 60 minutes.
So dont loose hope and keep going.

Thank you.

[uttoransen]

this time the problem is solved, but 30 days without internet, LOL am still alive!

anyways, thanks for your information, next time if they disconnect my net, anytime soon, then i will follow your method!

though, in jharkhand nothing really works, but i will still try,

Option 1: Go to your local exchange and talk with the commercial manager and confirm.

Option 2: Wait for the first few days and see if the service records page is showing "Sum traffic excluding night unlimited". If this column appears then its fine....you are in 500 plan.

Pesonally I would have taken Option 1 ;)

Please,please please someone help me,its been more than 3 months since my BSNL data one connection has been at fault.I have gone to the telephone exchange several times.The mechanics who work on phone poles say that there is no disturbance in the line so they can't do anything.The link is not static and goes away every 2 minutes.In the middle of the 3 months when the mechanics repaired the underground cables the net was excellent but it again deteriorated.They say that its the problem directly from the exchange which i think is a dumb excuse.The link is going while i am writing this.Bsnl is totally cheating me.

I just went out and touched the joints of the wire of my Bphone and guess what i got a shock of 220V.Is this causing the problem,please someone only reply if u know what's going on.

Well, there are a bunch of reasons why this could be happening. Hence, it's not wise to come to a conclusion without enough probing. What you need to do next is go to the exchange and threaten them that you will go to TRAI, and if possible, tell that to the DE or any head who is there, not some other employee who can't do anything. As per TRAI terms, you will get compensation for everyday after 3 days of a non-working connection. So, make sure you are heard loud so that they move their a** and find out what the real problem is.

[praka123]

@Harvik780:220v?on a phone line :? :? afaik 48v DC is wht phone line carries :p
OR do u meant power line is touching the phone line?

here in my house(and all over),bsnl ppl came and put underground cable straight upto the housewall with a box from which line is connecting to bfone and BB.so no poles and posts!.it works better.i hope in other states they already had this.

hi guys,

I have UT300R2U router given by BSNL , it has one USB and 1 LAN port, i have two PC's can I connect one pc with USB and one with LANn and use internet simultaneously....?

yes, you can.

But connection through USB is not preferred...because of frequent disconnection.You may need to plug in and out your USB cable frequently.I suggest you to use a HUB/ switch for multiple connection.

How did bsnl charge 4 browsing in home 250

[piyush gupta]

250 plan i thinks 1GB is free after that 1Rs per MB

[JohnephSi]

It is correct bt i hope it is 4 downloading.How they will charge 4 browsing.

[QwertyManiac]

Downloading and Browsing are the same, both have bits flowing into your box, and are thus counted the same way. :|

In ADSL do we have different slots for uploads and downloads. i mean are download speed have any relation between them?

can do download & uploading at same time reduce speeds?

[praka123]

in my exp,if total BW that matters.ie upload+download.so sure there is a difference in speeds.

[Help~Is~Here]

In ADSL do we have different slots for uploads and downloads. i mean are download speed have any relation between them?

can do download & uploading at same time reduce speeds?

Nope, it will not affect either, you have a seperate frequency band for the upload and download. So, if you have a 2Mbps line, it doesn't mean that you can only upload at 1Mbps and download at 1Mbps simultaneously. You can download at close to 2Mbps while you upload at close to 1Mbps simultaneously.

I (had) always disconnect/reconnect dataone connection approx 1.58AM and connect at 2.10AM usually via cron for torrent downloads (uses linux).but sure,there is nothing wrong if u dont follow this.as in MY connxn from core server:Access-Concentrator:EKM-RAS-CSR-01(Ernakulam) they charge correctly.
please list output of

i need that

^reg the digits,i am quoting "man 5 crontab"
Commands are executed by cron(8) when the minute, hour, and month of
year fields match the current time, and when at least one of the two
day fields (day of month, or day of week) match the current time (see
``Note'' below). cron(8) examines cron entries once every minute. The
time and date fields are:

field allowed values
----- --------------
minute 0-59
hour 0-23
day of month 1-31
month 1-12 (or names, see below)
day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)

A field may be an asterisk (*), which always stands for ``first-last''.

Ranges of numbers are allowed. Ranges are two numbers separated with a
hyphen. The specified range is inclusive. For example, 8-11 for an
``hours'' entry specifies execution at hours 8, 9, 10 and 11 Also,i used to daily edit the day field inorder to be sure.but acc to experts,u can do well without editing for a month,year(using * in tat place or @monthly etc).read more of man crontab and lookup for examples.

Guys, please stop posting the altered versions of the Dataone tests, everyone knows it's fake, how to make it is quite simple that once the actual test is done, hit the browser back button and voila, unbelievable speeds, so please stop posting things that are not true.

As far as the 8Mbps is concerned, it's already launched in several cities in India, the last one I know of was in Bangalore on the 15th of August. And if you go back in this thread, you can see that one user has posted his link speed indicating NOT 8Mbps, but 10Mbps.:p

[Help~Is~Here]

^but there may be some other devices replacing default huawei,utstar router modems to provide 8mbps!

I don't think so because the existing Huwaei, starcom are all upto8Mbps compatible and the standard is something called as 'annexure B'.:p

If I switch off the IPTV and and start the download then is it possible to get high bandwith.Not the 2Mbps currently I have

I haven't tested it because I'm out of station right now, so can't comment on that. Maybe someone else who has the 8Mbps line should be able to answer that.

I'm not sure about linux PPP but one thing I can tell you is that when you have a wireless access point connected to a modem/router, the password should be on the first piont of connectivity with the phone line, which is the modem/router and not on the wireless access point. I'm not sure whether you can bridge the configuration such that you can set up a PPP dialer on the computer to get connected in this configuration.

[zyberboy]

if u needed fast speed create a bridge and watch ur speed guys and
is bridge mode faster than pppoe in Bsnl adsl modem??

[nish_higher]

is bridge mode faster than pppoe in Bsnl adsl modem?? no.speed remains same.it just changes the way you connect

any news or something by bsnl regarding any chance of a speed increase on unlimited home plans?is it gonna be 256kbps forever?

[casual_gamer]

I was not able to download anything from the past 2 days from 2am to 8am...the adsl light kept blinking. There were lots of downtimes from the past 2 weeks in my place. did anyone from bangalore experience this? if its only me, then can it might be problem with my dlink glb 502t modem?

[drgrudge]

Guys, I'm coming to India next month. It has been a year since I'm going to use Dataone again. Is the things same as before? I want an unlimited connection.. so as b4 I need to pay 900+100+tax for the connection? What's the speed I get?

Is there any better plan which might suit me?

[nish_higher]

u get same speed and same rates as u got b4-i have ul900 plan since broadband in my city.no change in it till now.i think this plan is good if u r online the whole day.not good if u consider the amount of stuff u wanna download per day-but that depends on u

[drgrudge]

Hmm sucks. When I moved out of Chennai, my parents changed to Home 250 and now I'll move it back to UL 900.

Guys, i m switching to Dataone Unlimited 900 plan in 3 days. Got the modem today which I will use with a LAN Card. What should I remembar & take precaution.

No precaution for now.just change the default password which you will get from BSNl.Even you dont change wont affect you much..as you have taken UL plan.

It has WiFi too....no problem in sharing internet with friends laptop either

[T159]

hey mine plan got changed today from 900UL to Home 1000.

How will i be charged for it. Will they take previous 6 days of month as 900UL and remaining days as Home1000 or the whole thing will be counted as Home 1000.

I have downloaded 3.8 GB in previous 6 days (for which my plan was 900UL), will it be added to Home 1000 for my billing next month ??

hi,

Can anyone tell me how can I setup virtual server.. in utstar300r2u outer....

[v_2dpodd]

I am BSNL Dataone Subscriber , 250/- plan since Jan '07 and have had a good experience so far till this happened .

Last month(August) while checking my usage record I found a total usage of 3.4 GB around the 15th of the month .. on further scrutiny of the usage records I found that a total traffic of 2999 MB happened between the 7th and 8th of August . To add to my horror the maximum traffic happened on the 8th of august during a continuous session of 11 hrs for near 2.5 GB traffic .. and that was the day I was unable to login to my account .... I kept getting a Chap authentication error ... username/password incorrect message.. for the 2 hrs I tried to login (I use a ADSL modem which I got from Airtel while I was in Gurgaon .. it is a USB modem .).... Then I went to my friends place and used the same username password in the dataone usage portal and it worked fine thier .. I took it to be a server error ...and went to work ...and the next day i.e the 9th Aug .. I was again able to login and things were working fine .... Its only around the 15th maybe when I noticed this and I tried to lodge a complaint..but no body picked the phone ...then I got connected to the IVR broadband menu and raised a docket ...

Finally I called the 1800 number and found a lady ..who seemed very concerned ..and said it is a possible theft and asked me to contact the AOTR office and gave me a number ..and to call it specifally after 11 .. i did so and was told that the number belonged to AOTR in 2003 and was asked to contact the DE .. Called that number.. related my entire problem ... was finally asked to somebody else ..who wud fix the problem ..and finally I was asked to meet the DE of my exchange (Dum Dum , Kolkata) .....(I did get a few calls in the mean while to ask if my telephone was working fine ...don't knw why .. I never complained for my telephone.. its been working fine.)

I wrote an application detailing everything , including a printout of my usage data and detailing the dispute .. took a day off (u don't expect to find them on Sat/Sun) ...and went to meet the DE ... had to climb 4th floor by stairs .. open my shoes.. went into the air conditioned room with a couple of PC's ..crossed that and open another room with 3 people answering the phone ..

I explained my problem to one of them .. who took me along to one of the PCs and opened my account with my telephone number ... and it had the minimal info .. thats my location and plan and the time I have been using the connection . I was asked to wait for the SDE ... so I waited and then again explained the entire thing to the SDE ....
he gave a paitient listening .. went into the PC room a couple of times .. and then finally said it is not possible .. he said "We have enabled Port Binding " on ur line since Feb 07 and it is not possible to use ur account name /password for connection in any other place ..except my telephone ...

I tried to explain that , i know thats the way ADSL is meant to work .... I even suggested he can check the server logs against my username and check the MAC address accessing the internet ... .... he had no answers ..and finally asked me to submit an application with the customer care detailing my dispute .. i did so .. got another copy of the same stamped .. and waited ..no response so far ..

I recieved this months bill for 3441/- which includes a broadband usage of 2600/- + and add to that a 300 /- service tax ... i really don't know what to do ...

"Thanx to those who have gone through the entire story ... " .... I need ur help ...

[gary4gar]

I am BSNL Dataone Subscriber , 250/- plan since Jan '07 and have had a good experience so far till this happened .

Last month(August) while checking my usage record I found a total usage of 3.4 GB around the 15th of the month .. on further scrutiny of the usage records I found that a total traffic of 2999 MB happened between the 7th and 8th of August . To add to my horror the maximum traffic happened on the 8th of august during a continuous session of 11 hrs for near 2.5 GB traffic .. and that was the day I was unable to login to my account .... I kept getting a Chap authentication error ... username/password incorrect message.. for the 2 hrs I tried to login (I use a ADSL modem which I got from Airtel while I was in Gurgaon .. it is a USB modem .).... Then I went to my friends place and used the same username password in the dataone usage portal and it worked fine thier .. I took it to be a server error ...and went to work ...and the next day i.e the 9th Aug .. I was again able to login and things were working fine .... Its only around the 15th maybe when I noticed this and I tried to lodge a complaint..but no body picked the phone ...then I got connected to the IVR broadband menu and raised a docket ...

Finally I called the 1800 number and found a lady ..who seemed very concerned ..and said it is a possible theft and asked me to contact the AOTR office and gave me a number ..and to call it specifally after 11 .. i did so and was told that the number belonged to AOTR in 2003 and was asked to contact the DE .. Called that number.. related my entire problem ... was finally asked to somebody else ..who wud fix the problem ..and finally I was asked to meet the DE of my exchange (Dum Dum , Kolkata) .....(I did get a few calls in the mean while to ask if my telephone was working fine ...don't knw why .. I never complained for my telephone.. its been working fine.)

I wrote an application detailing everything , including a printout of my usage data and detailing the dispute .. took a day off (u don't expect to find them on Sat/Sun) ...and went to meet the DE ... had to climb 4th floor by stairs .. open my shoes.. went into the air conditioned room with a couple of PC's ..crossed that and open another room with 3 people answering the phone ..

I explained my problem to one of them .. who took me along to one of the PCs and opened my account with my telephone number ... and it had the minimal info .. thats my location and plan and the time I have been using the connection . I was asked to wait for the SDE ... so I waited and then again explained the entire thing to the SDE ....
he gave a paitient listening .. went into the PC room a couple of times .. and then finally said it is not possible .. he said "We have enabled Port Binding " on ur line since Feb 07 and it is not possible to use ur account name /password for connection in any other place ..except my telephone ...

I tried to explain that , i know thats the way ADSL is meant to work .... I even suggested he can check the server logs against my username and check the MAC address accessing the internet ... .... he had no answers ..and finally asked me to submit an application with the customer care detailing my dispute .. i did so .. got another copy of the same stamped .. and waited ..no response so far ..

I recieved this months bill for 3441/- which includes a broadband usage of 2600/- + and add to that a 300 /- service tax ... i really don't know what to do ...

"Thanx to those who have gone through the entire story ... " .... I need ur help ...

I would like some insight into what options I have to get my point across to BSNL .. where to head next ... where to go to resolve the issue ...

your suggestions wud help me immensely ....

Hi, dataone users...
What is your maximum upload speed on dataone 2mbps ???

Max upload for home packages are 864Kpbs or 108KBps. You should ideally be able to get a minimum of 40~50KBps at any time.

[praka123]

Hello All,

MY name is ramya, I live in usa AND my parents live in visakhapatnam, recently my parents took internet connection from BSNL DATAONE ( Un limited plan ) and now there is a problem to them.

everything is configured but they say every time they TURN on the computer net is not automatically connected they should double click on the dataone icon and then click on connect to get system checks for user/password and then system is connected to internet..

My question is, is there anyway when ever they start the computer internet will connect automatically rather than clicking on connect.

note : please let me know if there is a option we should enable to get connected automatically when ever system is on.

Please help
Thanks

Yes they can, but it's quite a workaround and some time and dedication will need to be put to it. However, I would advise them sticking onto the option they are using now because of the simple fact that, if there is a problem, they can come to know immediately unlike the workaround that you could use which only a technically capable person will be able to find out if there is a problem with the connection or not.

However, if you still like the work around, here it is.

1.> Assuming that the computer is running on WinXP, first open network connections, then depening on whether a USB or a LAN cable is connected, you will need to right click on the network connectin which they use and then go to the properties of it.

2.> Once in properties, highlight TCP/IP and then click on properties. Then in the following box, select the option that says 'use the following address' and type the address in this format:

Ip address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Then click on 'OK' and then 'close' on the properties window.

3.> Now open internet explorer and type the address 192.168.1.1.

Now before I can give you more help on this, there is one important piece of information that I would like which is the name and model no. of the modem because the following steps will vary in accordance to models.

Thank you very much for the help , I will check for model number and let you know soon.

but looks like to dothis more tech help is required, do u think it makes sense to call some network person there locally and check with them ? rather than asking my parents to do it..

Yes, that would be better, and make sure they get some one who might be able to visit in the future if a problem arises, otherwise, one guy will fix it, another guy will come screw it up and another guy will take it for repair, and your parents will be at the recieving end of things.

What you could do is, first get the model no.(found on the bottom part of the modem) so that we can provide you all the information, then you can ask one of your family friends to take a print out of it, or just tell him/her what to do (some one around the age of 18~22 should jump in to help with no questions asked) and he/she should be able to set it up for your parents.:D

router ppp(inbuilt dialer) mode works-always ON.that may be what helphere is saying.while in bridge mode too it is possible.

I'll say stick with bridgemode connection.

I guess it's already in bridge mode, that's why they have a dialer. If it's in bridge mode, then you will need a dialer if I'm not wrong.

Hello Help_is_here,

I think leaving as it is now it easy rathering than changing the config, as you people suggested i will not change any connfig or update any IP address.

Curious to know...

it seems that bsnl people kept the dataone shortcut on the desktop and parents need double click on that and then connect to start using internet is there any batch file we can write so that when ever system restarts that batch file will execute and dataone connects directly and the system will be automatically connected to internet.

i think u guys might be thinking why i want to do that rather than just double clicking it and saying connect.. it's because wheni am coming here i auto saved yahooo / Google talk to them so when they are in bangalore the internet is automatically connected when system restarts so the yahoo and google used to connect automatically now the secanario is different ..so ...i am asking u guys for this help

By any means can i write a small batch file for that dataone shortcut and place is someone in the computer so that when ever systems restarts computer automatically connects to internet.

Well, that's what I wanted to tell you but I'm not sure if that will work because it might just bring up the dialer and not actually dial if you know what I'm speaking about. And in most cases you will need to edit the registry keys for it to work properly which I think your parents are really not going to do.:D

Anyways, did a bit of googling and I think this program should solve your problem. This is a 3rd party dialer but this gives you the option to automatically connect at startup.


Are you not satisfied with your current dialer? Yes? No? It does not matter. If you did not try 1st Dialer from www.neurobridge.com (http://www.neurobridge.com), you don't know what a great dialer is. 1st Dialer is a small, less then 350 KB, but very powerful DUN (Dial Up Networking) utility jam packed with great features. Designed to work with Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, this tool features one click connection, option to automatically connect to the Internet upon system startup, and it can even automatically choose which dial up number to call. Of course, other convenient features are there as well, like "Keep alive" function that prevents your ISP from disconnecting when you are idle, automatic re-dialing, hotkeys to quickly connect/disconnect, and activity log. Most importantly, 1st Dialer has been created with the help of thousands of regular users from all over the world, and that is why 1st Dialer is one of the most easily configurable, simple and straightforward dialers available on the Internet. Oh, one more thing - 1st Dialer is absolutely free. That's right, you don't have to pay anything to get all these cool features. So, get your copy right now.

http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/create-dialer.html



It's just a matter of installing it and inputting your username and password. You can try it yourself and email the program to your parents as it's very small.. And yes, remeber that the dialup number they should use is 0,35. Enjoy! :D :D

BTW, you don't need to write your name at the end of each post coz you already have it in your username:p

I leave in Kolkata, so here is the speed of the downloading the file by using Internet Download Manager is showing 245Kbps and when you upload the file it shows 25 to 32 Kbps

[src2206]

Hello Indranil

You are getting a very good speed...its about 1957.2 Kbps (approx 1.9 Mbps) that is very near to the promised 2 Mbps of BSNL. :)

Your spped shown by download manager is in KiloByte per sec (KBps) and you need to multiply it with 8 to get the speed in Kilobit per sec (Kbps). Generally all ISPs in India provide their speed in Kbps or Mbps.

I know My BSNL ISP Rocks me :) :) :) . But the rules of the multiply with 8 is not only apply for India, because one of my friend from London have 24Mbps Down and 2 Mbps Up Unlimited Net Connection get 3500Kbps when downloading and 250Kbps when uploading, it shows his Download manager. I think if you use for home purpose then this rules apply.

[src2206]

No Indranil, IMHO you are misunderstanding something.

I think your friend's DM shows 3500MBps which is nearly equal to 24Mbps when multiplied by 8. It is a standard rule and applicable internationally unless mentioned otherwise. :)

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I have BSNL Dataone connection. Recently I am facing a problem while opening the page http://www.think4sanjay.info (http://www.think4sanjay.com). I am getting timeout error in firefox and if I open it through IE7 then it redirects me to Livesearch and says "We did not find any results for www.think4sanjay.info".

previously I was able to open this page and access my account. This is my website. I am able to open this site through Proxy. but I want to open it without proxy to access my account.

Day before yesterday I formatted my laptop and installed WinXP SP2. Since then I am facing this problem. If anyone knows the solution of this problem or faced this issue, please share it with me. Replies are really appreciable.

I told to my hosting provider about this issue he told it's ISP's problem. I also told to BSNL customer care, but still this problem has not been resolved.

Thanks,
Sanjay

DataOne making all user account Port Binded :(

Personal observation and reports from my frnds all over India...

Last night I saw that I cant log in to any of my cafe accounts from my home... :( modems are switched off at Cafes, no one is using the connection the PWs are correct too... :( :(

So asked few frnds in Yahoo contacts, and yeah... no more access to second user account any more :( BSNL is port binding all accounts to their native Telephone numbers :(

It wass justified to port bind the Unlimited account but, with limited account we were paying the bill for what we used as even multiple log in from single ID was also not allowed... :( so, no harm was done unless it was one stolen account :( even they are charging the users who used stolen accounts... So every aspect was taken care of :| , still made this move :(

pretty bad move for me :( atleast !!!!

U may be unhappy with this move..but it is right move.All ISP get regular complain from subscriber that the bill is too much than expected bill.They claim that they haven't used that much bandwidth.

There may be some person at dataone ..who are distributing ID and password.

So,to solve this problem, they are doing so.
We at Airtel are also taking similar steps.

Huh ?? I hope u are a BSNL user :p

BSNL had a really nice Rule about account Misuse :p if you find that really ur account being misused by any other :p just file a complain as Account mis-use !!

BSNL detects user Log in via Telephone number immidiatelly in next month the person who used the account will find extra Data usage added to his Telephone bill with special colounm as Account Mis-use / Extra Data usage and they the extra data was used under his telephone number greater than his base plan ...

:p

about Justification... Terms of Condition didnt said BSNL would Port Bind it... second TOS allowed users to take Business Plan under Home Telephone..

So I can take business plan under my home telephone... then the Business Plans should not have been Port binded..

whats the harm then using the Business account under Home ??

as One cant make multiple log in at a time from same User id... second if I download 1 Gb from my office account I will be charged for that 1 GB under my office account, so I will pay for what I would use ....

This service may be quick in ur area.But in many area, BSNL support is worst.They visit BSNL office regularly..but nothing happens.


about Justification... Terms of Condition didnt said BSNL would Port Bind it... second TOS allowed users to take Business Plan under Home Telephone..
They can make modification in TOS, after putting application to TRAI.


whats the harm then using the Business account under Home ??

Business plan is made only for commercial use...where bandwidth ratio is around 1:1... But for home use, bandwidth ratio is of 1:2

thats why business plan are little costly.


as One cant make multiple log in at a time from same User id...
same ID can be used for multiple log..if there is no restriction from ISP.

second if I download 1 Gb from my office account I will be charged for that 1 GB under my office account, so I will pay for what I would use ....

????
who knows..that the IDs belongs to you only.In some case..ID and password may be leaked.The installation boy can distribute your ID and password.

Even I can get all IDs and password of Airtel, agra(because I work as DSL engg, here).So, I can also misuse any.


Airtel BB, agra is also binding all ports.Infact more than 50% ports have been blocked..and rest are in process.

Are BSNL started Port binding in all of their Telecom Circles. What about Assam Telecom circle. Still I can access my Office BB ID at my home through my bb connection and visa versa.

you have another case.

But there may be some condition..where some person are using office (private OR govn't) ID to access internet at home..without informing the related person...and illegally. In that case........that office is paying the bill..but internet is used by other person.

[skghosh44]

Now I got the point. if I access Office ID/pw at home in my bb connection then office accounts usage will be increased. Am I correct.

yes...for that reason only all ISP are blocking ports.They dont want to take headache to listen complains related to illegal use of bandwidth.

Dont use bandwidth for other work while measuring speed.Like stop opening sites, stop all downloads and streaming and others.Also test speed on single computer(if you are in any network)

Also give some break between two continuous speed test.

Thanks but I know all these basic rules and have followed them. I checked the speed from the same computer, one that is not connected to a network. I had nothing running when I tested and I tested with the same target server in the first two case, i.e. New York server and with Calcutta server with the third test...

Plz do reply hurry guys ive 2 submit it 2mrw.

[skghosh44]

In our BSNL telecom circle we have to submit application first. They will issue a Demand note subject to availability of their connection. On receipt of the Demand note u have to deposit the modem cost where they instructed to deposit it mainly at their own cash receipt counter.

2. If u wish to take Dataone email ID then fill it.

[JohnephSi]

How many days does it take 4 taking a new connection after submittig the form.Is the filling of the dataone email id compulsory.Suppose i do not write the email id then wht wil happen.Wht does night time mean.Is it mean that we can durf as well as download whatever we like in freedom between these hours.

time for connection depends, upon availability of ports, modem/routers and most important the babus in your exchange.:D


happy hours(night time)-200hrs to 800hrsISt is no counted in your monthly usage, therefore it is FREE


if you forget to fill in the id there a no problem in getting Broadband connection however you have submit a request again for email id if you want,otherwise no need

[JohnephSi]

Where wil this e mail id be used. Can i register myself through the bsnl website?

Pz tell me an example of email id. which i can enter there.

[gary4gar]

Where wil this e mail id be used. Can i register myself through the bsnl website?

Pz tell me an example of email id. which i can enter there.
it is a simple e-mail which is used like any other mails like yahoo or gmail. no you can't register it on website you have submit a application to exchange itself.

well you could write anything like JohnephSi@dataone.in

Hey Saurabh, I am still able to access my friends account from my PC. I have a limited connection and my friend has a unlimited connection. We both are able to access each others connection. Now, this is the story within Orissa. My sister has a BB connection in NGP and I was able to connect with her user ID also, but since the last 6 months or so, I am unable to log in with her user ID although she is still able to connect with mine.

BSNL BROADBAND PROBLEM
Recently we have take connection of BSNL Dataone in our office. The problem is that we cannot connect to the net by the modem supplied by the BSNL. Whenever we try to connect it display msg verifying user name and pass word and not connect to the net instead it starts redialing. We tried with other 2 modem it connect to net instantly in the same machine. We contqcted the BSNL people and they taken the modem and get back with the same and found no problem with the modem. They said it may be something wrong with the Telephone Exchange.
Now my question is the fault with Telephone exchange than how other modem works?

If I try to connect with that modem after displaying verifying ID/PW err msg display as (err no I forgot) remote comp not responding somethin like.

Edit Dated 04/10/2007
Yestarday as well as today during 10.00 am I tried the Office BB connection and it works fine. But when I tried during evening around 5.00Pm on both the days it is failed to connect to the internet. It is a strange problem I could not understand.
Please Note : The system is ON from 10.00AM and runs whole the day except the DSL Modem. Is it a problem of LAN Card ? I think so because as the system is on from 10.00AM onwards and the LAN card became hotter may cause problem. Is there any solution ?

Well this is charges when you buy the modem itself from BSNL:?:

[praka123]

donno about all this.but when i got my dataone h500 connection.they came and fitted and configured the modem dialer with default password and left.asked no money.and 60rupees is the rent for the modem.also i dont have to put safety deposit etc for the connection.they just gave asap.

here in Rajasthan circle when you take modem on rent you have to pay 500 as security deposit at customer service center+installing charges(250) then only demand note is issued.

When buying it you need to pay for modem instead of security deposit, rest all stuff is the same:)

[desai_amogh]

any bsnl employees here:
a que:will they offer dataone in exchanges in rural areas,but with high concentration of bfone connections.I'd like to hear esp if in kerala.

how abt this.. i stay in a village in goa .. there r around 3000 connections in my telefone exchange.. now is tht a good concentration ??

Payable at time of taking the connection
Modem 1350-/(1200+12.36% service tax

I think there is some wrong in the rate. As far as I know modem supplied by the BSNL is not service it is selling. Hence here in Assam Telecom circle the cost of the Modem will be 1200/- + 48/-(sales tax @ 4%) = Total Rs, 1248/- have to paid to BSNL for Type -I modem cost.

If u have existing Land phone(bphone) and opt for Type -I modem u have to pay Rs,1248/- and if u opt for Type -II modem then u have to pay 1872/-. Type -II modem have a facility WiFi system. In Some area they issued Demand Note to pay the Modem Cost and in some area they added the modem cost in the Telephone Bill. That's depend on the telephone exchange official as well as security money deposited with the BSNL during bphone connection.

Hey Guys! I'll be getting the Broadband Connection I applied last year next week.

I had applied for Home 900 UL+, How are the upload speeds? I don't download much, but I play a lot of Multiplayer Games. So how are the latencies in your games?

Can someone post the Traceroute results to 203.116.28.15 from Bangalore? (Those who use Home 900 preferably).

Thanks!

It'll usually take a few months. I had to wait for a Year! (Applied on Oct 2006, getting it now). Depends on the Exchange.

Go to your nearest BSNL Commercial Office and ask them.

After you get the landline, submit the application for broadband to the Bsnl main office in Majestic(it is above "kids kemp"). They will process in one week. After 1 week, go to bsnl local exchange and see if they have received the order and request for immediate installation. Otherwise, they won't bother giving the connection in time.
My bb application was processed and password despatched within a week of applying, but the local exchange guys kept my application somewhere in the bottom and had forgotten about it. I had to remind them 3 times. This way, my bb connection got delayed by 15 days.

ps: I already had a existing phone line. I only had to apply for broadband. btw, mine is home 500. I suggest you go for this if you are a downloader.

i had the BSNL connection about 2 years back.. after that it got DC.. then i got the 512kbps sify connection... but now i am off it.. i want the regualr DATAONE connection.. my big brother is using the 1800 or something like that which i was also using for about 6 months.. but now he got it D/C , so i am planning to get my OWN phone line and BB.. should i go for Home 500 plan ?

and is 24hr. surfing free ?
and night unlimited means .. unlimited download and upload fomr 2am to 8 am ? (it means excluding the 1 GB limit) ?

please clear my doubts.. and another thing ..

what are the monthly charges for the phone and BB ?

[src2206]

Hello Shantanu

I suggest that you go for Home 500 plan. The main reason is that it offers you upto 2Mbps speed which unlimited 900 plan does not offer.

In this plan you have 2.5Gigs of Data transfer free which should suffice your browsing and small download needs. From 2AM till 8AM you can download as much as you can..and at a speed of (upto) 2Mbps.

The phone charge is according to the Phone Plan you choose, though I would suggest you to go for the general plan with 180/- monthly rental and 50 free calls. For BB the charges are again according to the plan. For the modem you have to pay extra rental charge. You can buy the modem outright either from BSNL or from external agencies. Why don't you check http://www.calcuttatelephones.com/ for more details? :)

I have this connection and it is far better than any private offerings (I burnt my hand with Tata Indicom earlier you can read the my blog post regarding this at http://sroyc.blogspot.com/2006/08/broadband-and-vsnl.html). Only thing is that, you are not going to hear sweet lady voices when you call the customer service ;)

I had been using Plan 250 for 2 years without any problem. Changed plan to 900UL Plus from 1-9-07 and seeing very poor speeds changed back to Plan 250 from 1-10-07 by intimating a fortnight earlier by Regd post. Today when I received the bill it had Rs.900 for BB and another Rs.900 as deposit for the plan. All the required deposits were paid at the time of taking BB 2 years back. When I enquired at the customer care, I am told that I have to pay it and it will be adjusted in future bills.

[shantanu]

thanks for clearing my doubts ! i will be going for the home 500 and normal 180/- landline tomorrrow.. ! thanks :)

If you are currently using Plan 250 or 500, after switching to UL900 Plus you will feel as if you are using a dial up connection, as I had mentioned earlier in the thread.

now i'm using GPRS Dialup :D
