@abhi_10_20 (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=15524) I think you have problem with your Operating system. You said you update linux, So I think you have Linux Operating system. Try with another operating system or another computer which have Windows or try with new NIC card.

[praka123]

^ :lol: Linux infact offers better speeds due to correct settings of MTU.
dont give such bad advices pls! :-|

btw,the dataone speed tester in dataone.in page feels that my speed is 220KBps :D -damn,this test is such a fake!
I have tested in dslreports and reported 1.8mbps back :)

also,opendns now sucks!:D the dataone dnsservers works better!
below is my dns servers for dataone:
218.248.240.23
218.248.240.135

Dear praka,

even while I downloads softwares via synaptic package manager, I could n't get constant speed some time same file is downloading at the speed 220KBs suddenly changes to 211 kBs and 190 KBs...within span of few seconds.. retesting in the same server will show varying speed, this happened due to noise levels, as well as nature of technology used (adsl is like single foot path..where as Dsl both upstream and downstream traffic can be handled simultenuosly you get constant speed in DSL based ISP)

Well i just got the BSNL BB yesterday..250 rs plan..just 1 GB limit :(..i have several questions..

Please i need the solutions to these queries urgently..Don't quote the entire post just specify the number and ur solution...

1.i check my account usage by logging in some http://10. something..now i dunno whether checking also counts in my bandwidth or not..i may sound absurd but 1 GB limit is a very very less so i need to know whether checking the acount usage will count in my limit or not..? solved

2.i am very confused regarding how to use 1GB limit for the whole month..In our college all ads are blocked by proxy..so i am planning to block all ads so that i can reduce upload and download ..i dunno how to block it..
Apart from ads i want to block all the images greater than the specified size..i used opera. it will block images but it will block all the images which i don't want ..take for example our college,it will block all the images from imageshack only or some specifed sites .. is there any way to do so..solved

3.I frequently check my account usage..i found that the currently consumed bandwidth is not displayed in my account.. so i have to log out for about 10 mins and again login to see my baind width..i contacted the BSNL office and they told me that the account usgae will be updated once in 1 hour..i am in utter confusition :confused:solved

4.This is the thing that is striking my head -->slow speed..
i checked the speed in various site and it reported me some 1.5 or 1 MBPS ...in our college the speed is around 700 KBPS..now what i find is the websites (nearly all websites ) are taking a long time to open..i dunno why..?i beleive it's not due to cable cut coz my speed is alright and is greater than our college..Our college speed is excellent.websites will open within a fraction of seconds..our college has employed proxy so will it make any difference..

5.Since i am low on limit,so i have disabled automatic updates of windows,antivirus,firewall and every application.Is there any software which can be used to know whether any software is accesing the net and how much bandwidth it's consuming and plot a graph of bandwidth usage like task manager..i used firewall(Comodo) but i didn't liked it..solved

6.Now i am using Avast home edition..Now i have disabled the automatic updates..so i beleive even when my Avast is active it will not consume any bandwidth ..Am i right..?

7.I have all the idea of getting net connected in my linux(Ubuntu)..now what are the things that is should disable so that their will be no automatic downloads..solved

8.I used yahoo messenger to chat..i will have ads below.. i want to disable it so that it will not consume the bandwidth..any way to do that solved

9.What is ping and what is ping time..? solved

10.Can anyone suggest me the ways to lower bandwidth usage for websites.. solved

11.I am accesing net via ethernet port..there is also an option for USB port..which is better..almost all my freinds are connecting net via USB port solved

12.Will chatting,IRC,IM consume greater amount of bandwidth ..?solved

@vaithy, please understand that you will never get constant speed from a server! it will keep varying! and please understand that this is not going to be any different if you have DSL and not ADSL!

Dear ramsingh,
AAre you saying you are in PUNE... but in the name of Godsake , why did you conracted JTO in Bangalore... for pune complaints click the link below.. bottom right you will see the word complaints appeared.. when you click the link a complaint form will appear fill up it.. another one in the Home page find out the left pane then click the Officers directory link.. find out the officers responsible for your area contact him ..

Good luck..

[debsuvra]

Whoops! A BIG QnA thread here :D I also have a BSNL BB Connection with a H500 plan BTW. I am trying to answer your questions here.

Basically checking the account usage and anything else like that results download and upload of some data and thus they are indeed chargeable.
You can use AdBlock Plus plugin for firefox to block most of the ad, I do not know how to do that in Opera. And to block some specific pages, you can specify them in your firewall.
Yes the BSNL server needs some time to update. BTW why do you need the updated list so fast ? :confused:
I do not understand this question as you declared your speed is OK and also slow at the same time
I think for Windows XP, a third party firewall is a must. Vista's default firewall is moreover OK.
I also think that Avast will not consume bandwidth as long as you are not sending any file to there server for inspection.
Ubuntu has a great gui based options to disable the Automatic Updates and it only notifies about the updates and do not install them at first without confirmation.
Use Pidgin (www.pidgin.im) instead of YM. It also supports a plethora of other chatting protocols as well and do not ridden with ads.
Just Google or search in Wikipedia abt PING. :-D
Disable pictures, javascripts and Flash contents of a site to reduce bandwidth usage.
Ethernet is a way better than USB and please stay with it. Do not dump Ethernet for the sake of USB.
Any chatting only with the support of text or picture takes a very small toll on bandwidth. But stay away from Voice and Video chats. :D

[spitfire]

Blocking ads in yahoo msngr is possible...there are some registry changes needed..google it and fixes for your specific version number..

Secondly..dont disable avast update..it consumes veryy little amount of data..leave it as it is..

and there is a software called admuncher...ts best in the busines..can block ads in IE,Firefox,Opera...

for FF there is adblock plus
for IE install IE7 pro v2.0

[adi007]

@debsuvra:Thanks for the reply..
in ur reply regarding question 3, i need them since i am low in limit and i must check the account frequently..

in question 4 i mean reported bandwidth is very good but browsing speed is
way too low..

regarding question 5 i asked for a free good bandwidth monitoring software which will monitor the upload and download usage and will plot a graph..u took mistake for firewall..

regarding question 6, i think avast consumes some bandwidth even if automatic updates are disables..why coz i have seen a bandwidth usage of avast in my firewall..though it's less it may seriously effect me..

Thanks for mentioning Pidgin, i am already using it..:D..it's very good..

Regarding 9,if i google PING i will get some tech stuff which is difficult to understand..So it will be helpful for me if some one just explains the gist of it..

i am using piggin so no problem with ads..:D
If i dont disable avast it will strongly affect me coz i have only 1 GB limit and within 2 days nearly 70 MB has been consumed just for browsing :(
will try admuncher ..thanks:D
^^will i block ads by google..:confused:

[cool_techie_tvm]

1) Since u got the connection yesterday, u should be using http://p3hosting.bsnl.in:9080/BroadBandCustomerPortal/ to check the account usage, i presume. Yes any data transfer that occurs after u connect to the Internet is accounted for.

2) As mentioned, u can try using Firefox coupled with ad-block, flash block. Also images should be disabled while browsing. These helps greatly in reducing the bandwidth.

3) Yea, it takes sometime for the usage to be updated. But surely not 1 hour. Max of 10 - 20 mins.

4) Websites opening within a fraction of second is dependant on your DNS server settings. Try OpenDNS or Treewalk DNS for faster DNS resolution.

5) http://download.trafficstatistic.com/download/TrafficStatistic_Win_1.2.0.1.setup.exe should help u monitor the usage of individual programs. The interface is a bit complex, but it shows detailed traffic reports.

6) Antivirus updates wont take that much of bandwidth. I would suggest enabling the same. Frequent speed tests are waste of bandwidth though

7) Not exactly a linux buff, still i have used Ubuntu and there are options to disable auto updates.

8) Google is your friend. Search and u might find numerous programs designed to remove ads from Y! Msgr

9) Ping : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping

10) See (2) of this post

11) Ethernet is recommended.

12) No. Provided u remove the ads which appear.

Hope i have answered the queries to your satisfaction :)

[adi007]

i am currently using admuncher..the browsing speed went too down while using it...
this many sound crazy but i am thinking whether admuncher will save bandwidth or will consume more bandwidth..moreover it's shareware any freeware alternative..

[Akshay]

Use Datafox Firefox addon to calculate ur usage. It is amazing n simple to use. Use Adblock to block the ads (firefox addon). It wil save u bandwidth by blocking those flash ads, banners, etc.

[abhi_10_20]

I cant believe, i guess Deluge torrent client in Ubuntu was the culprit in my problem :sad:... yesterday, i used utorrent in windows to download the alpha 4 release of Ubuntu, and man, the speeds were insanely great :neutral: and no such problem as i mentioned earlier, was there. Now, even though my problem is solved in one way, i can't understand how could Deluge create such a problem.... and yeah... i prefer to use Deluge, so plz help to get a solution.

[adi007]

cool_techie_tvm (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=10609) and Akshay (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=1897) thanks for the reply..
i am using adblock ..works amazing..:D

data fox works like a wonder...excellent :D

i have installed the following plug ins in Firefox.. No script,datafox,fasterfox,flashblock,leech block,inline image blocked line,Grease monkey,chat zilla,Firefox 2.0.0.9 Adblock 0.5.3.043 Adblock Filterset.G Updater 0.3.1.3 Adblock Plus 0.7.5.3 Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper 1.0.2 Please go through it and tell me whether these are enough to save bandwidth... and if there is any plug ins which consumes bandwidth please tell me

i want to block all images from imageshack.us ..any way to do that in firefox..?

[praka123]

^open a port and add that port in deluge options.
when net is connected,
from synaptic manager install "lokkit"
then open a terminal and run "sudo lokkit"
select custom option using TAB,ALT keys and enter in "other ports"= 53416
press OK and exit.
now open deluge-torrent options and find the port option.there enter 53416 .that's it!

I hope ur in bridge mode though(ie,u dial from linux to connect dsl).
if u use router dialer(pppoe mode),you need to open the port in router.
http://portforward.com got page for ur router model.
I dont think so,as ur getting good speeds in window$

[adi007]

^^no reply :sad:
Now another thing..
my net connection was activated on 9th feb..i asked BSNL official about the billing in this month he told me

The billing will be done once in month..since 9 days are already passes we will calculate the billing for 20 Days..that is this month the bill will be around 165 rs instead of 250 rs..The band width will also be lowered around 650 MB not 1 GB

^^Is this right...? What u guys say about the reply given by BSNL official

i have updated the main post..marked which are solved..the following are still striking my head..


4.This is the thing that is striking my head -->slow speed..
i checked the speed in various site and it reported me some 1.5 or 1 MBPS ...in our college the speed is around 700 KBPS..now what i find is the websites (nearly all websites ) are taking a long time to open..i dunno why..?i beleive it's not due to cable cut coz my speed is alright and is greater than our college..Our college speed is excellent.websites will open within a fraction of seconds..our college has employed proxy so will it make any difference..

6.Now i am using Avast home edition..Now i have disabled the automatic updates..so i beleive even when my Avast is active it will not consume any bandwidth ..Am i right..?

ping is nothing but a data packet sent to a destination and getting reply from the destination abt the state and channel configuration.Nope, the bandwidth consumed will be more or less same.

Download includes : web surfing, checking dataone portal, updates and anything that involves transmission of data packets in or out.


Best you can do to reduce bandwidth is to never delete cache of browser(resort to secondary browser for rapidshare kinda sh!t), use adblock plus + flashblock. Disable Auto Updates for softwares. Use a good firewall(Comodo 3 pro) and allow only reasonable amount of software to access net.

see you got three choices
1) BSNL 's Unrelible DNS
2) OpenDNS Relible but slow DNS
3)brun your own dns which is both reliable and fast

I choose the third option, choose which suits you most

[bhunnu16]

Hi! I live in Bulandshahr (U.P.). I have BSNL 500U plan. From few days I am facing a problem of server not responding. When I click the connect button the connection, it stops at 'Verifying your username & password'. Then time out with no server response. This is happening only with my connection as I asked my neighbors (they have BSNL too) whether they are facing the same problem and they said they never faced this problem.The problem lasts from 5 min to a day.

[drgrudge]

Wanted to post this for a long time, but here we go...

We don't even get 64kbps upload. It's 56kbps only. :| On an average, I'm able to upload 1 GB for every 6-7 GB I download.

I know this is dumb... but Is the machine needed to reset for a problem which occurs for some time. Till now only I am having this problem, others(people in my city) connections are working fine.
Also by resetting the machine once ,will the problem be fixed forever?

The portal shows total BW used.. but data transfered during the free period will not be charged. its common for new dataone users to have this doubt.

my friends has recently changed from HOME 500 to HOME 500 C, i myself submitted the application for it , how ever he checked usage at the new site: http://p3hosting.bsnl.in:9080/BroadBandCustomerPortal/

maybe its not given to old customers on http://10.240.144.195/webLogin.jsp
maybe the new site may not be compitable

but BSNL no where states that this is for new customers only,

[ico]

I am charged 500 rupees security deposit for shifting from Home 500 to 500 Combo plan. Are they right or should i get it corrected?
Get it corrected.........because you had already given the security deposit at the time of getting the connection........

It also happened to me when I had shifted to H1000 from H500. At the time when I had got the connection, I had paid Rs.500 Security Deposit and they charged me Rs.1000 security deposit (in the Debits). I went and told them that I had already paid Rs.500, so I just need to pay Rs.500 more.........They corrected it and subtract Rs.500 from my bill.

In your case, you'll not have to pay any Security Deposit now because you had already paid Rs.500 at the time of connection.

[casual_gamer]

^I just checked my phone bills, only installation fee was charged, i did not pay any security deposit at that time as i already had an existing landline.

Bsnl dataone tariff page actually says no security deposit for home500, but they are charging "one month charges" as security deposit for 500 Combo plans.

Are there still any chances of me getting Rs.500 refund or have bsnl got it right this time? I think they got it right, no?http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif

Today I have also become a BSNL BB customer. I have Home 1000 Plan, in which you get 5 GB download limit.

I want to know your expert advise. Since this thread is too long and I can't browse thru all posts.

Can you guys tell me all important things which I should know as a BB customer? Like any tricks if can be used to improve speed?, All URLs to check accounts, etc.?, I want to know all things which are important. :D

I've one suggestion for you:
Go to consumer court & Prove that you have H500 and ask them for a big compensation. :D

And Ramsingh is going to have Rs.36,000 bill.......http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=747053&postcount=3037

I think that their new portal (for IPs 117.x.x.x) has a bug and they need to rectify it soon.

I guess:

date of activation/no. days in month * 1000 = Data limit reduced
i.e.
9/29 * 1000 = 310.34MB

Your this month's limit should be 1000 - 310.34MB = 689.66 MB

Also, your monthly rental will be reduced by Rs.77. It should be Rs.173.......

Guys

I'm getting 230 KBps download speed in my Home 1000 plan. Is it good?
Also how to check the data usage? I have checked following URL which was mentioned in a post here:

Also this new portal is totally rubbish. The old one was a lot better.......
Many users have faced the problem which you are facing.

And yes 230KB/s is damn good. The maximum you can expect is 256KB/s but you can't get this because you are probably not near to the exchange.....

^^ Thanks buddy. I have tried all following links mentioned in this thread but none of them working:

Also whats the use of following link?

http://192.168.1.1/

There is a link to change password. Which password is this? Our dataone login password ? I'm totally out of clue.

[nvidia]

^^The default user name and password for 192.168.1.1 is admin AFAIK.

If you are a firefox user, then to see usage, install this add-on -
http://www.thegoan.com/datafox/

You can also check your usage from
www.dataone.in and there click on the "Dataone Account administration" link and you will be redirected to some other page. You can check your usage from there:)

The http://10.24x.x.x are not going to work for you as they are for the old DataOne users who have the 59.x.x.x IP range. You are a new customer, so you are going to get IPs from this range 117.x.x.x. Wait for the next month to start. Your panel may start working from may.

I don't know how to change the password in the new portal because I haven't accessed it and I even can't.

Also whats the use of following link?

http://192.168.1.1/

http://192.168.1.1/ is the page for your Router preferences. It is used to configure your router, check your ADSL line status, change DNS servers etc.
From this page you can only change the password for accessing the router.

The default username & password for accessing your Modem CP are admin and password respectively.

You can't change the Broadband password from here. It can only be changed from the Portal, if it can be. Changing the password is very easy in the old portal.

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Thanks a lot buddy. I think I should wait for a few hours/days to access the portal. atm even "data.bsnl.in" is not working.

[nvidia]

^^I dont think you need to wait for a few days. If you are using it for the first time, then check the usage next time when you come ol. BSNL usage is not updated immediately. Its updated once a session ends.

This can also be true. But I've told you to wait for few days because I've assumed that your Usage isn't updating in any way, even after disconnecting. This had happened with me with the old portal when I had got the connection in March 2005 :D.

you too know how good the BSNL's custmer care is.

they say the same, it'll take time to activate your account (@ b'lore HQ).

i dont kno why i asked them about LimeWire :cry: (it doesnt connect, evn proxy fails). they thought it as lan/ethernet cable.

[din]

@Vishal Gupta and all new Dataone customers

From my experience - may be lil strange !

I could not access the data usage link (yes, I also tried all links listed) for the first 1-2 weeks when I got the connection. After that the links started working but only in a tata indicom connection (yes even more strange lol). Finally after 3 weeks or so, everything became ok and I can check the usage now.

I guess they need to setup something in server, so in my opinion do not worry, it may take some days, but I think it wil be alright after few days.

BSNL CC sux i agree... When i got the connection, they gave it to me without updating the user name and password for my account... After making a million calls, they updated it finally after 15 days:|:|:|

[infra_red_dude]

All the new Dataone users (with ip 117.x.x.x) will NOT be able to use the old bsnl site/software like dataone usage finder/datafox etc.

For checking usage you gotta login to http://p3hosting.bsnl.in:9080/BroadBandCustomerPortal/ and enter your portal id and the password. PORTAL ID is a 14digit id issues for you for port binding (meaning your connection is bound to your number and nobody else can use it). This is NOT the same as your loginid/username. If you don't haf this get it from BSNL. Use the login password in the password. After loggin in you can change your login and email a/c password, view usage, view plan details etc.

The blank page appears for 2 reasons:
1) you a/c on the usage site is not activated (usually takes under a week)
2) you've entered a wrong portal. (confirm your portal and also ensure that its 14 digits.)

At the moment none of those usage finders will work. You gotta login to that site.

@VG
192.168.1.1 is the IP address of your router (modem in layman's term). You can change its settings there - like changing from pppoe to bridge mode, DNS etc.

Also, the speed you are getting corresponds to 2mbps. If you've got this plan then its fine.

[nandmkumar]

I have a Dataone BSNL Broadband connection under Home 500 plan which enables the customer to enjoy free unaccounted internet between 02.00 and 08.00 hours. The present system to enable the customer to check his/her usage particulars is quite inadequate. Quite often the site is down and the customer cannot enter the site using the user namd and password allotted to the customer. If at all entered the usage data provided in the spreadsheet is incomplete and unupdated. Earlier, before the change introduced since january 2008, the customer could get the net usage particulars (i.e, the actual GB used after deducting the usage during FREE hours). Now the customer has to spend time with a calculator and calculate the the actual usage after deducting the free hour usage. The BSNL should be more customer-friendly in these matters

Guys

There is a strange thing! As you know I got the connection on Thursday (4 days back). Since then the connection used to show "1.0 Gbps" as connection speed. But surprisingly its showing "100.0 Mbps" now:

http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1793/bbqv6.jpg

Can anyone tell me why is it happening suddenly? I didnt change any setting.

[ico]

^^ That may have been an error by your LAN card in interpreting your speed.

Anyways, your modem is 10/100 mbps complaint, so your connection with the modem can't be 1gbps.

Also, there is nothing to worry about this. This is the connection speed of your computer with the modem.........

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Oh. Thanks buddy. Do you have any idea about forwarding @bsnl.in account mails? I have set it to forward mails to my Hotmail account but it doesnt.

@Indranil92001

Vishal is a very senior member here who helps others a lot. None of his posts are useless / un-necessary / off-topic. His query in this thread is sure related to his internet connection and not just his LAN card and I didn't find anything wrong in that.

The thread is meant for Dataone and all problems directly or indirectly related to it.

Please be polite at least to persons like Vishal coz we all respect him very much and we all know he will not do anything wrong in this forum.

[nvidia]

Some mod ban that Indranil92001 guy. How can he speak like that to a senior member like VG here in our forum:mad:

[janitha]

It seems he is a self appointed moderator. Mods may look into the issue.

Be polite here.
Who is the one who isn't being POLITE............?? :rolleyes: I guess Indranil92001

We are here to help each other in the best possible ways not to just shout on him like you did.

[NIGHTMARE]

@Indranil92001 bro read the thread first its right section let me clear how i have 2 broadband connection reliance and bsnl when i connect reliance its show reliance connected 100Mbps in other case Bsnl mostly when i connected its show 1Gbps it always happen with bsnl so vishal is asking question in right section fine if u don't no anything plz thing then right ok. and i am really sorry on the behalf my other member for pinch word don't feel bcoz vishal is very reputed and helpful memeber and nice person.

@nvidia fine yaar don't ban him:p he is new in forum see his post we also welcome the new member

[Vishal Gupta]

Thanks guys for your support. I appreciate it.

@Indranil92001
One request to you. Please don't make any issue. As you can see your single post is taking this thread totally off-topic. If you have a problem with any post or thread then report it. It'll help the moderators as well as the members.

Reg to your suggestion, who said to you that its a LAN card problem? I was just discussing about the connection speed and wanted to ask others opinion about it. Since you are a new member, so its better for you to read the other threads and go through all sections and forum rules before suggesting other members what to do and what not to do.

[Indranil92001]

Reg to your suggestion, who said to you that its a LAN card problem?

You dont mention that you connected through PPPoE from desktop. I thought it was your Lan Properties not from PPPoE.

So I delete my old post.

Most of the Lan Card we buy from the market all is 10/100Mbps. I saw your screen shot and I think it's Vista Operating System. If your Lan Card driver have problem with Windows Vista some time windows knows it's a 100/1000Mbps NIC Card. If your Lan Card from Onbord not from PIC Slot then it's 10/100Mbps if it's from your PCI Slot then cheak the NIC card what it's saying.

what ever it's shows 1Gbps or 100Mbps you dont get any speed problem from BSNL Net Service. Because if you have paln 2Mbps you Lan Card is enough for this.

If I use someone else ID in my system, who will be charged for the data transfer? I can use other IDs in my system without any problem.

[santhosh_chn]

hi,
i'm from chennai, my current plan is Home 500C, I have already
crossed 3 GB inc night usage, waiting for bill :(
the bsnl site for usage and administration is not working for me
should we include username@bsnl.in or just username
it says 'invalid username/password for the most of the time'
but for the same userid/passwd the bsnl mail site is opening
properly...sometime the site is blank after entering user/passwd

and also how the bill date is calculated from 1st day of everymonth?
as well as they have split the limit for eg. 1 GB Limit, first 15 days 512 mb,
so you cross it u pay more?

for Net Meter detection I'm using NetMeter 1.1.3
http://www.metal-machine.de/readerror/
provides good report day, week, month wise,
only trouble is the meter irritates by poping out often

All the new Dataone users (with ip 117.x.x.x) will NOT be able to use the old bsnl site/software like dataone usage finder/datafox etc.

For checking usage you gotta login to http://p3hosting.bsnl.in:9080/BroadBandCustomerPortal/ and enter your portal id and the password.

Thanks infra_red_dude for the info...I have my portal id now I'm able to login, but usage details is empty? how my a/c on the usage site gets activated? should I call bsnl customer care?
also,
1. how the limits are calculated (same as my prev post), for eg, 1 gb limit will be split into 512 for 15 days and exceeding it I'll pay extra money? I have experienced it some years back, still they calculate the same way?

[Indranil92001]

Broadband Home Plan125

Bsnl just launched new dataone broadband plan. Seems it is launched to have very basic plan and cheapest plan. Though it is very limited plan but now you can get 2mbps speed for just Rs. 125 per month. That is $3 a month. However this plan is lame actually. They are only providing 150 mb data transfer per month. If it exceeds then you have to pay Rs. 0.90 per extra mb.

The Person whose ID u r using will be charged. [:P]
However in most of the places, u can not use someone else's ID.
However it still works in my telephone exchange (IIM Bangalore), so sometimes I do use my frnds IDs to enjoy 2 Mbps. :)

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ So suppose I get an ID of 900 Unlimited connection and use it in my Home 1000 (5 GB limit). In that case no one will be charged for the data transfer? I want to clear my doubts nothing else. :)

The Id which is being used will be charged. And this is illegal to use other's ID. If found you can be charged.

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Thanks buddy. :)

[cool_techie_tvm]

In here its the exact opposite. Regardless of the account we login, any transfer will be charged to the telephone line initiating the connection. I tried using some UL accounts, but they charged my h500 account for the data transfers.

[Cyrus_the_virus]

^what can I do to get back the speeds?damn! :( pray?

Well go for asianet if you have it in your area, but don't loose your BSNL connection, keep it at some 250plan.. but use your asianet connection.

The reason to keep the BSNL line is quite simple, reliability. I've had asianet for the past 7 months and intially it was ok, but when they started taking more load, their UPS's cannot keep up with power constant power losses, their fibre cable gets cut once every 2 days..etc... etc.. hence it's not reliable, which one thing BSNL is even if speeds are not great all the time. It's better to have a slow speed connection than have nothing at all and keep starting at your modem all day waiting for the cable light to come on praying those asianet guys fix it ASAP.

[praka123]

well,I have ditched asianet cable for sun dth a month back :D

I hope airtel give bb service in towns of kerala.afterall,demand is much high compared to many other states.

[Cyrus_the_virus]

You don't need to have a TV connection.. you can always take it seperately..
BTW, I got DishTV.. how did you get sun dth in kerala?

[praka123]

sun dth is available in kerela.but no big ads.their pic quality is best(mpeg4),only thing missing is sports channels except dd sports.I took the connection for all regional(malayalam) channels which other dth players are not bundling,sun dth for Rs2000/- gives free-leased STB+1 yr free subscription,later Rs75/month as basic subscription.channels available are googled for words "satcodx sun" or lyngsat sun.

its almost 2 months after "unofficial" release :p

[cool_techie_tvm]

dataone is giving very poor speeds of 11-40KBps on 2-7AM :x !bsnl are capping their lines,cheaters!OR some heavy duty downloaders eating full BW :x ?
after 7-7.30AM,the speeds returns to 220KBps which I normally gets!where should I complain? :confused:
Even me too facing the same. I used to get speeds greater than 200kBps+, but since the past week, by 2am the speed is getting capped at 60kBps. Enquired among many friends and some are facing my situation, while some arent.

[praka123]

^I read in news papers (local) that EVDO is activated in all the major towns in EKM district and may be whole kerala too.Is that a reason? :p

[cool_techie_tvm]

I hope airtel give bb service in towns of kerala.afterall,demand is much high compared to many other states.Airtel is now in trivandrum, but they are concentrating mainly on the cafes. They are providing a 512/512 UL plan on these cafes.

[praka123]

^yes,it is loong back available in ernakulam and other bigger cities.even it was earlier called dishnet bb IIRC.asianet data line is a NO NO for me.
I am wondering whether some dth based internet solution will be available soon in India :-|

[cool_techie_tvm]

^I read in news papers (local) that EVDO is activated in all the major towns in EKM district and may be whole kerala too.Is that a reason? :pThe default gateways are different for wireline and evdo subscribers (i guess). Besides EVDO subscribers are getting lesser speeds of the order of 100kbps to 400kbps (so much for 2.5mbps UL claim ;) ). Something else is being done. I am struggling with an Opensuse download. It is about 4.3GB, usually a night's download job for me. But its been three nights already and am still at 82%...grrrrr

[praka123]

I am given (ernakulam) core server in-charge's room no. for call if at any doubt.I am never able to get the guy lift the phone :p
if u run Linux on pppoe,"pppoe-discovery" will show u ur core server.
Access-Concentrator: EKM-RAS-CSR-01

[cool_techie_tvm]

Oh yes, we both are connected to the same AC :)

[praka123]

ur in trivendrum,right? then there will be a core server in trivendrum also :confused:

[cool_techie_tvm]

But when i run sudo pppoe-discovery i get the same results as yours.
Maybe the whole of Kerala is on a single access concentrator.

... commn guyz .. plz help..................i hav d UT-300R2U modem.. now every time the power goes off..... the modem resets itself and i will again have to enter the username and password in the modem configuration page... everyday i hav 2 do this .. now what is d solution so that i dnt hav 2 entr user name nd psswrd evrytime power goes off.. another problem is that d modem default confirratn is of PPPOE.. now even if i change it 2 bridge mode,, once power goes off, th modem stting goes back 2 PPPOE mode. nd i hav 2 enter user name nd passwrd again.. what is d solution???

[cool_techie_tvm]

Do u save your configuration in the router? The username and password has to be saved and the modem has to be rebooted to save the changes. Unless u do so, u will have to keep on entering your credentials again and again.

[ramsingh]

i save my user name nd password in d modem configuratn page.. but once power goes off.. nd modem is again restarted.. the setting goes to default one.. whre user name is GUEST and password is blank.. every power goes off here.. so evryday. i hav 2 enter d username pasword.. wht 2 do?? another solution is there but i dont knw how 2 implemnt it.. the default settng is PPPOE.. if somehow default setting can be Bridge mode.. then no need 2 enter username nd password.. just cliick on the connectn .. so how 2 do it? Waitng for replies..

[cool_techie_tvm]

Ok so u need to know how to configure your modem to work in bridged connection, rite? Here it is. Look behind the modem and u should find the reset pin. Hold the reset button for 10 secs (while the modem is still powered up). After about 10 secs release the reset button. Your modem will boot into its default configuration. Then do as instructed on http://mydataone.net//pages/configuration/dialer-mode/ut-star-300r2u-adsl-modemrouter.php . U need to have JRE installed properly for the images to be displayed properly.

If u wish to use your modem in PPPoE mode, do as instructed on http://mydataone.net//pages/configuration/router-mode/ut300r2uold.php or http://mydataone.net//pages/configuration/router-mode/ut300r2uold.php according to the modem being new or old.

Hope this brings an end to your connection woes !! :)

Never heard somthing like this.
The Modem shud not reset after power on/off..
and even I use my router in pppoe mode...but I was never required to enter my id and pass everytime.

[cool_techie_tvm]

Non technical question, I'm from Hyderabad and have applied for BSNL Dataone connection and I'm from Redhills, how long does it usually take for the connection to be installed/activated?It depends upon the port availability on your exchange. If free ports are available u should be getting connected within a week.

guys.. i knw how 2 use.. modem in PPPOE or BRIdge mode.. the problem is that the setting goes to default one ie PPPOE( with username as GUEST and pasrd as blank) whenever the power goes off ie. modem shuts down... evry time power goes.. i have 2 again put d password nd username.. Now tell me how 2 1) keep the modem default setting 2 bridge mode instead of PPPOE mode.. 2) is there any way the modem saves my username nd password ..evene when the power goes off..

Do you save them?

[ramsingh]

yes i save them,... apply button is there.. i click on that ..

[gary4gar]

yes i save them,... apply button is there.. i click on that ..
nah, you need to save them the FLASH memory too:p

check in Sytem & search for SAVE ALL OPTION

[cool_techie_tvm]

Mere clicking apply wont save it bro. Like mentioned by gary4gar, it has to be saved on the ROM of the modem...Look through the various options, u should find something like Save and Reboot

*sigh*

don't you think using ROM word confused things.
As ROM stands for Read-only memory.
So its read ONLY then how could you write to it?


PS: I wanted to just refresh my knowledge. maybe i am wrong

[ramsingh]

thnkz all.. problem solved...

WoW...didnt expect that coming !!

Ok here it is...in the strictest sense ROM refers to mask ROM which is designed and fabricated with the desired data permanently stored in it, and thus can never be modified. But modern types of ROM such as EPROM and flash EEPROM can be erased and re-programmed multiple times. They are still described as "read-only memory" because the reprogramming process is generally infrequent, comparatively slow.

Hope this clears the confusion.

[ramsingh]

Hi.... i hav a questiion.. i am living near Pune. My home town is in Kolkata..now..i have dataone here and in Kolkata.. but the dataone is POrt BInded here .. i cant use my kolkata dataone username nd passwrd.. can i request my local Exchange to remove the port binding..?? is it possibe?? what is done to remove port binding? physically what is done for port binding??

[cool_techie_tvm]

Dont know about your place, but in here port-binding is removed on request. We have to give a written request along with proof that both telephone connections are on the same subscriber's credentials. But there are some points to be kept in mind. NIB - I and NIB - II accounts cannot be used on the same telephone line.

[ramsingh]

my IP is 59.xx.xx.xx something.. but i have to login 2 new portal with portal ID.. so m i in NIB I or NIB-II

[cool_techie_tvm]

Are u sure your ip is 59.xx.xx.xx ?? Because i thought only the IPs starting 117.xx.xx.xx could access the newer usage checking portal. 59.xx.xx.xx comes under NIB I and 117.xx.xx.xx comes under NIB II expansion phase.

[ramsingh]

when cheking speed with dataone speedtest.. it shows ip as 59.XX. something..

59.9X.208.7X.. is waht it showed now..

[praka123]

run "cmd" in run box,then enter "ipconfig /all" it will show all details in a window$ xp system.

[ramsingh]

yes.. its a 59.XX.XXX.XX ip adress.. does it mean i am in NIB I..???

[praka123]

^^^YES!

[s18000rpm]

my net is really screwed up.

i couldnt connect since ~8pm

it wud connect for few seconds & then die:x


now i'm using open dns. lets see how long the net lives.

from february the BSNL in Kolkata set their download speed to the user 214 KBps to 196KBps. No one can download above the speed 196KBps. BSNL is cheating their coustomear.

[praka123]

^my speeds are normal from past 2 days :p getting around 220KB/s :)

[cool_techie_tvm]

^^ Any ideas why there are capping the speeds ?

[praka123]

^Nope :( .I have to call the bsnl guy to know more,will do later.
BTW,UT300R2U modem is crap when compared to good ol' huawei MT series :( guess my decision was wrong exchanging huawei for UTSTARCOM modem :( this modem has got lot of problems ranging from no pppoe dialer ?

@cool tech:if u want,I can give u Ernakulam core server number?do u want?

[cool_techie_tvm]

Yes, i too miss my old MT880. Now my UTStar 300R2U has also stopped working and am on UTStar 300R2 ADSL modem (which i got with Reliance Broadnet connection). UTStar modems are pathetic :(

[praka123]

guess I have to buy a dlink 502T router for myself.but my bsnl friend insist that buying a router/modem is a waste of money what 2 do?waht 2 do? :?

[Indranil92001]

^my speeds are normal from past 2 days :p getting around 220KB/s :)

Because I think you are not in Kolkata or if you leave in kolkata and use Internet Download Manager to see download speed you dont see the correct download speed. IDM shows fake download speed. If you use IDM to download and want to see the correct download speed then Install Bandwith Monitor. Start the download and at the same time open the Bandwith Monitor. Here you can see the correct download speed in Bandwith Monitor. If you use torrent client then you dont need to install Bandwith Monitor because Torrent client ( Azureus, Utorrent etc etc ) dont shows fake download speed.

[praka123]

^I use GNU/Linux (http://getgnulinux.org) Only;no windows (http://badvista.fsf.org)!.and the speeds are correct :) more or less constant 218-220KBps :)
No,I am in Kerala.before 2 days back,the speeds are real low !

I am planning to take BSNL modem as rental. Although it amounts to 60/- per month as rental charges, we can demand any router/modem from them. Am particularly interested in Siemens/Nokia-Siemens router, which they had introduced some months ago.

[praka123]

^I am already on rental as u can guess!:p but they are not ready to give siemens/other new modems :( as they are saying there is lack of modems for new connxn blah....

[ramsingh]

i am paying rental of Rs, 60.. say after 20 months.. after paying Rs. 1200 as rental will the modem be mine.... or will it still be property of BSNL?

[adi007]

^^it will be still the property of BSNL..
i have already asked the BSNL official about it

[praka123]

^afaik they will give free modem for bigger plans!

[cool_techie_tvm]

@ Ramsingh Like mentioned by adi007, it will be a property of BSNL. But u can purchase it anytime u want to. There are two options. Option 1: If you want to continue with the existing modem, 50% of the amount already paid as monthly rentals can be adjusted in the sale price of modem. Option 2: If you want a new modem, full amount will be charged as per prevailing price for the new modem and the old modem is to be returned in working condition.

[Indranil92001]

you are in Kerala so you are getting 218 - 220 KBps download speed, but in Kolkata it's set to 196KBps. BSNL kolkata fakeing their coustomears and takes bill 500 permonth. The download speed was in Kolkata before February 214KBps and now it's set to 196KBps.

How can u have so much upload speed. :O .
its a known fact that Dataone is ADSL. e.g for UL connection
Downwards- 256Kbps.
Upwards--> 64Kbps.
Ratio U/D ratio 1:4

I suspect the quality of this speed test tool.

ADSL is 1:4. But BSNL implements 1:8 for the older subscribers (excluding UL plans). Downstream is 2048kbps and upstream is 256kbps. For the newer subscribers its 8192kbps downstream and 816kbps upstream (now dont ask me how come they dont use 1024kbps upstream, as with the 1:8 thumb rule of BSNL) Because frankly i dont know :(

[alok4best]

dude, i'm on H500 plan.:p
It Doesnt Matter which plan u r on.
Just go to ur Router's home page and U can check the Link Speeds.
Upstream and Downstream
For my connection it is 2048Kbps Downstream and 512Kbps upstream.
So whenever I just use a diff Id to log in( a home 500 id) I start getting 2Mbps...But the ratio is still the same....1:4

Yes, It can be possible. I can tell you how is it possible. During a new ID creation on BSNL Domain for the purpose of Internet service, at the same time two policy will applye to this new ID. One is Paln Policy ( whether it is Unlimited Plan or Home 500 etc etc ) and second one is Speed Policy ( whether this ID gets 30KBps or 220KBps download speed ). This two policy will apply at the same time of the new ID creation. You can see your Plan Policy when you open your User's Record. If the Speed Policy set wrong ( if it's set to 8Mbps speed policy ) or forget to set ( I mean default ) then this ID will get 8MBps or Uncaped speed ( Uncaped speed gets if set it Default ). But when this user open his User's record he only see the Plan Policy like this guy saying he have H500 combo plan but cant see his Speed Policy. Some BSNL guy who have rights to make new ID are so noob and oldeg so forget some things during account creation. In Kolkata 8Mbps service is open so if speed policy set wrong then the ID will get that download speed. Even if the plan is Unlimited and if the speed policy set to 220KBps or 100KBps the ID will get 220KBps in Unlimeted Paln.

get a extra LAN card & from there plug the LAN Cable in the switch. and use a proxy, this way other can also use.

But if i would be in your place i would have used PPPOE mode only.

For many reasons

if i want to change my dataone plan, how much time will it take for them to process the request and when will the plan b activated:now or 1st of next month?

[cool_techie_tvm]

Usually it will be activated on the succeeding month's first week.

[Cyrus_the_virus]

if i want to change my dataone plan, how much time will it take for them to process the request and when will the plan b activated:now or 1st of next month?

It can be changed anytime... normally it's done within 2-3 hours after you submit the application if the lazy asses at the BSNL office aren't toooo lazy.

The charges are always calculated on pro rata basis.. say if the plan was changed on the 17th of this month, then you will be charged upto 17th as per your old plan and from 17th till the end of the month as per your new plan. It's pro rata, so they will charge you only for the no. of days, not the entire plan fee. and also your free usage will be calculated on no. of days.

Even if the plan is Unlimited and if the speed policy set to 220KBps or 100KBps the ID will get 220KBps in Unlimeted Paln. Below is the Modem speed in Kolkata ( all BSNL Internet user in Kolkata dont get this speed )

I have a query here.
If ur explanation is based on the screenshot which u just attached, then u might be wrong. Coz the screenshot shows ur Link Speed...Its the same for all users. The speed limit comes into the picture once u enter ur username and password in Router. yes, its true that only few ppl are getting the 8Mbps link which is for NIB2 I guess...All new users..but for ppl like me the link speed has been 2Mbps for long time now...in fact from the starting of Dataone. and thats why I can seamlessly switch b/n 256Kbps and 2Mbps connection with couple of BSNL ids which I have. Just enter a diff ID and I m on 2Mbps.


Its just a suggestion though..U might still be correct. Though what I have told is perfectly fine.

I think that Indranil92001's modem is showing the Attainable Line Rate. I mean the speed which his line is capable of attaining or can handle. If BSNL upgrades his connection to 8mbps, then he can get 1MBps easily.

@Indianail92001
Do yo get speeds above 256KBps during HTTP downloads?????

Also, have a look at this:

Even my line can handle 8mbps if it is launched........If Indranil92001 is really experience speeds upto 1MBps (8mbps) then I think his modem is showing the Connection speed only.......Plz correct me if I'm wrong....

Hi,

I cannot check my usage for the past 15 days. I can log in. But clicking service record or any other link doesn't yield anything. (It shows a javascript error). Anyone facing similar problems? How to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

[Indranil92001]

Same happened in my case. I think some mistake from their side. Mine is 900 UL. For the first month, I used to get 2 Mbps !! But after one month back to 256.

Because your plan policy is only changed not the Speed policy. When speed policy is change then you get 30 - 32KBps download speed.

The speed shown in the Modem is the mean How mutch you get the download speed. I mean 8Mbps mean you can Download up to 8 Mbps ( Depand on the Speed Policy of the ID ). If your Modem shows 2Mbps and you log on by the ID which have Speed Policy 8Mbps but you get the 2mbps not 8Mbps. Only deferent is you can get full
256KBps download speed not like 214KBps or 220KBps. Because the ID which have Speed Policy 8Mbps set in server 860KBps download speed so you get the full 2048Kbps mean 256KBps download speed.

If I log on by ID which have 2Mbps speed then I get 214KBps ( But in Kolkata the speed set to 196KBps , dont know why ). Even if the modem shows the download speed 24Mbps and if I log on by an ID 2Mbps then I get 2Mbps download speed not 24Mbps because of speed policy.

[alok4best]

Exactly...Even I was saying the same. That all speed Limits comes in picture only when u use a specific type of userlogin.
And yes, BSNL gives an "upto 2Mbps speed"...so u cant complain if u r getting 196KBPS :P..

An Analogy: Its something like when Bike Manufacturers quote KMPL..what millage they offer is under Lab Conditions which never actually is the case in reality. :)

OFFTOPIC(didnt find it worth making a new thread for this) : Anybody seen the new BAJA Pulsar ad on TV. looks really cool. Some Awesome Stunts..
If someone can plz provide a HI-Quality Rip or some download link.

the link starts blinking as the connection is lost with your exchange.
then again it start to negotiate the connection.

earthing can be common a problem, but its not the only problem.

I never faced such issues. pretty much stable

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ So what may be the other possible reason behind this problem? Is there any chance that the modem is faulty?

what is the deferent between Home 500 Combo and Home 500 Combo Plus

Currently I have Home 500 ( Not Combo ) and pay bill 560 in every month. Is there any deferent in bill I mean saving the mony if I change the plan to Combo.

Are u able to access the modem interface? if so, try changing the ADSL Modulation to G.DMT.

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Its already enabled. All options are enabled in "DSL Settings" section except "AnnexM Enabled" and "SRA Enabled".

[gary4gar]

^^ So what may be the other possible reason behind this problem? Is there any chance that the modem is faulty?
yes there can be but its rare, but in networking we should start from most common problems & then proceed to other reason.

First tell your exchange to fix the earthing problem, then try a Wiring change from pole to your Router.
Ensure that the wire isn't cut or has joints in between.

1) Home 500 combo has a monthly bandwidth of 1.5GB whereas Home 500 has bandwidth of 2.5GB.

2) Home 500 combo is a Combi plan of DATA & voice which gives you 175 free calls. but you need to take a separate voice plan when using Home 500. In home 500 you need to take a base plan or voice plan like One india plan or standard plan which charges are billed separately.

[Indranil92001]

@gary4gar (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/member.php?u=6148) can you tell me about the Combo Plus.

Guys, i had an interesting query..

I've got a Home 500 plan & my friend has a 900 U/L plan. We both play together on US & UK game servers..
Surprisingly, both of us have the same pings on all servers. Contrary to this, i get much higher download speeds than him ( which is expected )..

Does this show that BSNL has limited bandwidth for gaming? Or is there any other explanation?

Here, in Kerala we are lucky at least in this regard. Almost everywhere there are no more telephone poles and the cable reaches to every house.
