Thanks guys, but the problem is that even after installing a firewall and setting the proper rights to various softwares, the inflow and ouflow of data doesn't stop. For about windows update, antivirus update, media player update etc, I have switched them all off. God knows what's happening...

2) THERE will be no fee CHARGED for REGISTRATION,for taking the DATA1 Broadplan

Previusly I was not able to check usage from Dataone site and when trying, I was always redireced to their E-mail page. Then as suggested by someone in the forum, I have always been able to check it from www. 10.240.43.216/weblogin. jsp and except on one or two occasions when the site seemed to have been down, there have not been any probem. Even yesterday and today, it worked fine.

And of course I use IE for this purpose only, since with firefox it does'nt work.

[Generic Superhero]

the same problem happens to me also though not always , a few times, like 2 times a week ...

I think it is a electric line fault in my case, coz the night time load is not good for my house...

another thing i suspect is Server failure or sumthing...

me 2 waitin for ur reqd soln...

i also had this prob. one day the voltage was very low due 2 a power failure somewhere and the modem repetedly got disconnected. i unplugged my speaker frm my apc ups and in dat point i plugged the data1 modem. ups boosted the voltage and set the modem working right :)

Hello friends! Can someone tell me how much bandwidth is used to check one thread(single page) in this forum. Actually what I have been seeing is that when I am surfing the net , the bandwidth used is normal, not high not less, but as soon as I open any page in this forum, the incoming bandwidth starts flying away. Now is this a mis conception or true...

Moreover, is there a way to save ones bandwidth by applying some simple technique or by using some kind of software. Please dont tell me that by not accessing the net, I can save the bandwidth, because that is what I know... :wink:

extended statusbar (https://addons.mozilla.org/quicksearch.php?q=Extended+Statusbar&section=A&application=firefox)

[Aseem Nasnodkar]

There are charges of the modem rent only. That is if you dont have one or do not plan to buy one from them. The charges aree rs 100 per month. So for the trial u have to pay 200rs.


Also wen u tek the modem on rent u have to pay rs 500 as deposit. So its free. But sux with its plan.

As they give u a plan thats more a joke.
They give u a plan that gives 400MB of DT per month without happy hrs(ofcourse)
And u have to pay Rs 1 or so for every 2MB u use above 400MB limit.

So u mite just end up paying lots.

Well, just got the ADSL modem kit delivered to my home today. I have installed it (drivers, PPOE client s/w and all). I don't want the people from BSNL to come to my home to install and charge 250 bucks just for doing what I just did. Installation is very easy.

My questions are:

:arrow: I have taken the free ongoing trial offer. Should they charge for installation at premises? According to the conditions they are not supposed to do so.

:arrow: Is any special settings need to be done in the network connections, like primary IP address, DNS mask, secondary address, subnet mask, etc? Also is it required to change internet settings (LAN settings, in particular)?

:arrow: Where to get the username and password, and do I need to specify any number which the ADSL modem should dial?

When I got my connection, they gave me the modem with accessories like driver CD, cable etc, but without the user manual, saying that it will only confuse anybody who refer it for help. And of course the engineer was ready to come and install it then itself. But when he told if I am using XP, there is very little configuration to be done ie., only the username and password etc. in the network settings, I preferred to do it myself. He advised to use Lan connection and not USB.

Though I had a lan card already set up, I used the on board lan (A8N-E) and it worked fine without any of the settings mentioned above and so far there has not been any problem.

But I heard it is entirely different in case of Win 98.

I use Windows XP and the ADSL modem just installed very easily and the drivers were copied when I simply installed the CD.

@digitized
What are the monthly costs in the trial offer.Plz shed some light on the conditions of offer.I cannot find it on the internet after searching.

[Generic Superhero]

Where to get the username and password, and do I need to specify any number which the ADSL modem should dial?


no need to dial any number. the username and password ll b given to u by bsnl staff. if they hav nt given already, contact ur local xchange. apart frm dat, u ll receive a mail by post from bsnl informing u of ur username and password. if u need it urgently, u can try 2 guess ur username. most likely, the username ll be one of the 5 choices u entered in ur dataone application form and password will be xyz123.

Is any special settings need to be done in the network connections, like primary IP address, DNS mask, secondary address, subnet mask, etc?

u shud set network connections to obtain an ip address automatically and obtain a dns server automatically.

Also is it required to change internet settings (LAN settings, in particular)?
i dint hav 2 do anything wid the lan settings.

setting up dataone in win xp is a breeze. no need 2 install anything. but in case of 98 u ll hav 2 install dat software.

Can you give me some info about the trial offer of Dataone.

[Generic Superhero]

i dunno much about this offer. u can check this link (http://www.calcutta.bsnl.co.in/broadfreeoffer/bbfreesave/freebbweb.html)

[digitized]

@Cybermanas: The trial offer that is going on is a great idea from BSNL. It applies to those people who use a landline number from BSNL. The dial-up users (172222) will have the option to upgrade to 256kbps dataone. Only you have to fill the application form and sign a mandate form. There is absolutely no cost at the initial stage for 2 months. Should you decide to continue after two months, then a monthly rental of Rs.250 + Rs.100 (rental of modem, should you opt for rental) will be charged. You can also buy the modem directly from BSNL, cost of modem being Rs.1200. Also a security deposit will be charged initially for Rs.500. Also, should you decide to buy, then you can give remaining Rs.700 (Rs.1200-Rs.500 which was the security deposit) to them and the transaction regarding the modem purchase is complete. So there is no security deposit to care of after that. They are initially giving this offer for plan 250 with monthly data transfer limit of 400MB. I will change over to plan 500 after 2 months with 1GB limit and night unlimited from 2AM to 8AM.

This offer is valid upto 25th dec'05 initially so better hurry and apply.

digitized congrats on getting the DATAONE connection.

Thank you. :) But I haven't got the userID/password as yet.:|

In kolkata the modem rental is also free nd there is no security deposit whatsoever.U will only pay if u decide to continue

[calvin]

the plan is same for all over india check it out.
one has to pay for modem if bought or rented fro bsnl.
only usage charge is'nt there

[janitha]

I use Windows XP and the ADSL modem just installed very easily and the drivers were copied when I simply installed the CD.

I also use XP and I did'nt have to install any driver or use the CD which was provided with the modem. Just configured network for username and password.

I am using USB here, not a single problem of drivers and stuff. :)

Hello friends,

I was wondering if I could apply for the Home 500 plan within the free trial period? I had taken the connection (Home plan 250) in the current scheme of the free trial for all dial-up users. Now keeping a tab of the data transfers daily is getting to my nerves. I am not being able to download big files like the Nvidia forceware 81.95 (21MB), Nero 7 (101MB), update to Counter strike:source and play it online, connect to Halo:Multiplayer, etc. My free trial expires in the end of january'06, but I want to take the home 500 plan in the beginning of the new year itself (beginning of Jan). Is it possible?

Awaiting your early replies.

[go4saket]

ofcourse you can apply for the 500 Plan anytime, but mind you, you wont have that for free. The free scheme is only for 250 Plan. So if you move to 500 Plan from 250 Plan, your free scheme will be no more available.

Sys1 : PIV,845gvsr,384mbRAM,SmartAX MT882,H500 plan,XP,2k multiboot


In XP pppoe dialer was installed and bsnl was connected. NO PROBLEM SINCE INSTALL TILL NOW!.Since rasdial command was to be used, the mdm/rtr was connected in lan instead of usb to enable the installation of dialer.

All went ok till yesterday. When the system was booted and the dialer was clicked, the status changed to dialing and stayed for a LOOONg time like 10s instead of the usual 1s login.Then an error poped up and informed that the lan connection did not respond.

SO, to check wheather the dialer(files) wasnt corrupted, the pppoe dialer installed was run. BUT peculiarly the dialer didnt read any pppoe connections available in that nic. SO the nic was switched with another and checked again. The same problem presists, so no problem in nic.

The usual LINK AND ACT LED in the mdm/rtr went bizzar, turning on and off every 10-20sec(NOT THE USUAL TRANSFER BLINK).Whenever the link light turned on(for 10sec), the dialer recognized a pppoe service in the lan and offered a to install a dialer.But when i click that dialer, the same dialing.... option appears with the same errors.When the lan was checked again for pppoe services, nothing was found.

But the most peculiar thing was that when the dialer was dialed immediatly when the light turns on, "VERYFYING USERNAME AND PASSWORD" prompt appears.Then it gets connected after 30s(YES!!).When i open ie/ff and type a url (say google), it took 1-1.5 mins to load it!**JUST TO LOAD IT***.But after 1 min, the link light goes off and everything gets disconnected.

Thinking that the pppoe dialer may have some problem,the mdm/rtr 's setup window was opened and its own pppoe dialer was enabled and the usr name and password were given.When the mdm/rtr was restarted, the link light appeared after 3-4 mins and turned to the usual orange colour.BUT ,the same page cannot be displayed text APPEARS(:().

Since the mdm/rtr's options window was opened,there should not be any problem between the mdm/rtr and the system.

The phone line was checked thoroughly and found to be clear without any disturbance. The same error occured when win2000 was used ( SYS1 is xp/2k multiboot).

To check wheater the ie has some restrictions, the firewall was fully opened. But the same result was got.When nod32 was opened to update its virus def, it took 30 s to contact the server and downloaded the updates at 1kbps/s but got discon after 1 min

The system was checked for virusus and found to be a bit virus free

Please help! Most of the POSSIBLE ERROR PART in the system was checked. Is the mdm/rtr faulty?. If not is bsnl having any prob?

This messege is posted with a dial up account!!

Well, do any of u guys play online games with dataone? I tried counter strike, but by the time i realize i've seen a enemy, i'm already shot.!! :shock:

[tarey_g]

i play halo multiplayer , fair experience . u have to select the server with the lowest ping (less than 300, i generally get range from 230-350) , which is most probably in asian or nearby regions . overalll experience is good but always getting servers with low ping in the server list is is real headache. many times i have to drop the idea of playing the game coz of the absence of low ping servers , getting killed coz of idiotic lag is no fun.

wtf has happened to bsnl, the usage records are updated in ages .grrrr . earlier it was updated in 5 to 10 mins , but now they take hrs to update.

So,y r u waiting 4 ..

Enjoy

I am a Plan 250 user for the last 2 months and often I check the usage to know whether I have crossed the 0.4 GB limit. Today when I checked the usage, the first column in the page is "Traffic KB (excluding night unlimited)". Earlier, no such mention of the "night unlimited" was there.

Does it mean that they are now giving night unlimited facility to Plan 250 users also?

can any tell me what is max download speed for@256kbs

mine is around 30-34KBS.

thanks

hermit

[go4saket]

You wont get more than 32 KBps as 30 KBps is equivelent to 256 Kbps.

The two icons that you see - Well, one is of the Broadband connection that you are using and the second is od the network card that your machine has, which is showing a limited or no connectivity sign.

But during downloads, it initially shows a much higher figure which slowly comes down to about 30 KBps or even less. What may be the reason?

And may I ask again, whether the unlimited free down load is now applicable to Plan 250 also as mentioned in my yesterday's post?

I am also a Home Plan 250 since the beginning of december, it was taken during the free trial offer. There is nothing like unlimited downloads and data transfer. The unlimited data transfer from 2M to 8AM is only applicable from plan 500 onwards. I have confirmed this from the customer service (16004241600) and also from their website.

Which modem interface is good for BSNL Broadband connention.

That is, Should I take the Ethernet modem or the USB modem from BSNL ?

Please advice me as fast as you can going to apply for it tomorrow.

[desertwind]

Ethernet, if u want a hassle free, driverless one. But u'll need an extra NIC for that.

[Tech&ME]

Ethernet, if u want a hassle free, driverless one. But u'll need an extra NIC for that.

Actually I want to know this because I am concerned about the SPEED of the connection between my PC and the modem.

A normal Hi-Speed USB 2.0 gives a connection speed of 480 mbps

and

Intel PRO 100 VE Network Connection (Ethernet)---- 100 mbps

So, which one is better. Please advice me.

My Computer configuration is as follows:

Intel Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz (HT enabled)
Intel D915GAV mobo
Intel Ethernet Port (PRO/100 VE onboard)
Intel USB 2.0 Hi Speed Port available onboard
512 MB Kingstone DDR RAM
Seagate 80 GB HDD
CD/DVD Rom drive
Keyboard/Mice

[desertwind]

No use even if u have a 10 mbps capable LAN card. The max speed of a BSNL BB is 1 Mbps for Home and 2 Mbps for Business, ie 128 KBps and 256 KBps respectively. So you dont have to worry about speeds.

And i dont know about any commentable difference in speed between lan version and usb version. I haven't used usb till now. But i've got many complaints from my friends and our fellow forum members regarding driver problem of usb modem.

Thanks desertwind and tarey_g.
So the logs come late? It shows upto Jan 2 only.

Hey guys, no one told be about ShaPlus software and its use. I still have downloaded it and it seems like it calculates your total bandwidth., but the same can also be checked from the Dataone website. So what is the use of this particular software. What extra facility does this software has.

Moreover, this software has a section called Password Version and another called Non-Password section. Now, is it safe to use the password section.

I tried the non-password section of this software as per the instructions, but every time I press the check bandwidth usage button, it checks all the log files but giver an error saying "Type Mismatch" after that and a blank report is displayed. Why so?

[shariq_pj]

Hi guys,

I have been using this Broadband Connection for the past three months andd every month I'm receiving a bill of 1050... Plan Charges: Rs.550/-... UUsage Charges Rs.500/-...

I checked out my usage and it was well within the 1 GB limit... Is that correct...?

[kato]

@shariq_pj
Dude the bill u get for Braodband is the same in the telephone bill now r u sure u did not mix up ur telephone usage and broadband usage

@go4saket
Dude i dunno if u can calculate the total Bandwidhth usage excluding night time and overlapping times on the site now (as i havent check the site for quite some time). But earlier we cudnt calculate anything on the site so for that reason everyone used the software also i aint sure about the non-password version also i dont think there is any problrm with password version

[shariq_pj]

It can happen dat the part you r hving software created bad sector can loose its capability of storing data and can become parmanent bad sector and not as a physical damage. You also shud understand, utimately its the flow of electrons that decides evrything. So electromagnetic damage with a software can be a parmanent damage like a physical damage...

Hey man... I'm not messin up with the phone bill... It's given seperately as broadband charges in the left column in the tel bill dude...

[kato]

So a simple solution is call them up ask them why have u been charged extra as sometimes its their mistake too. Once i got 1k extra bill and had to call them up to ask it then they realised the mistake was there in billing

It provides u a differentiation facility of viewing ur usage without the free & mixed usage periods, which of course is counted as ur real usage.
Well, it is absolutely safe to use it. You may config your firewall to ensure that it doesn't pass on the information to somewhere else.
I think the non-password section is of no use as it means going on to the bsnl site & logging in & stuff like that. :lol:

[geekgod]

hey guys..can u tell me of an software which can automatically disconnect me from the net at a specified time?
lets say i have dstarted a large download with DAP and go to sleep..and the download does not complete before 8 AM..in that case, the option of "disconnect automatically on download completion" will not work. so how do i ensure that my pc does not stay connected after 8 AM?
thnx..

[Impulser]

Hey guys,,

Use AutoShutdown Tool for automatic shutdown of PC at specified time .. I'm using it ,, and its wonderful...

Another thing guys,, The dataone page before jan showed that the user is offline when connected between 2-8 am but from this jan its showing as online even when u r in free time(2-8 am) so they have bloocked that free hours or something else..

Plz confirm and post me .... Thnx

Yes i also wanted 2 know tht but the problem is tht shuting down the pc is not the ulimate goal.wen the pc shuts down lan does get disconnected but u r still connected to ur isp as the router is still working and thus u r still online :!: i have checked this.thus even if ur pc shuts down n if ur router is on even after 8 am ur nite MB get counted in ur day usage :shock: so can plz anyone tell me a soln to this problem such as can my router(9V) draw power from my cpu via a USB port (using some kind of attachment) or via a serial port or some other way but it has 2 be from the cpu itself so wen the pc shuts down router is also switched off :wink:

[yrana2002]

Hey guys,
I have 2 dataone accounts,one of 250 plan, other of 500 plan.
Now,
I have different usernames & different passwords for each account. Now, if i'm using one account, how do i switch over to the other to ensure that my data transfers are on the other account?
How do i alternate between those 2?

[go4saket]

Just disconnect, now reconnect with the second username and password. Now all your data transfers will be added up to the second account. I too do the same...

[tarey_g]

Dataone has gone crazy at my place , its downloading only at 1.2 KBps here , wtf , and it takes ages to open any site .

Sarkaari log :((

[desertwind]

I was also sufferring for last two days. It works for some 15 minutes without any problem, and then what ? DEAD. no transfers. I've to switch off modem and turn it on to get my connection worked, FOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES ONLY!!!!

It was like adding insult to the injury. I was experiencing another problem fro last a month. I am not able to use my telephone and BB simultaneously, as I was promised. Whenever someone uses phone at my home, i loose my BB connection. I complained it to the so callled sarkari log, but still no response. Yesterday when i called him to remind about my complaint, his response was

So isn't that rectified yet ? Let me check., and he hanged the phone.

WTF, today the connection was damn slow at the eve.

Sarkaari log :(

Second that.

[drgrudge]

Yeah guys, the speeds are really slow.. today in 5 hours, I could transfer 350 mb down and 100mb up only..
Even the browsing speeds are slow now.. Google is taking 30-40 secs to open!!

I am thinking of switching over to Airtel, 1gb is not going to be enough for me, now my brother also using the connection..

[kato]

Hey Grudge i didnt find any slow speeds today i guess some problem in some line in your area this happens quite frequently

[iChaitanya]

Its feeling like hell here!

very slow speeds!

i dunno wats wrong! :x

[mr_356]

Are you sure?
So it means i have to wake up(if i m in sleep!!!)to turn of the modem.
I dont understand the mix hours.
are they count mix hours in unlimited or in regular download.(i hav Home 500 plan).

[yrana2002]

No, i dont think so.
I checked my usage in Shaplus, which including mixed usage was 1.8 GB & excluding it was 600MB and i was charged just the 500 bucks for my 500Home plan.

[praka123]

Yep.here also same 500 only for mixed hour usage also...

[drgrudge]

Lol.. today in 5 hrs 50 mins, I could download only 275mb!!! As it is, we have only 6hrs a day and now the connection is as good as it used to be, I am frustrated, it's matter of time till I switch to Airtel.

[pop143]

I think the non-password section is of no use as it means going on to the bsnl site & logging in & stuff like that. :lol:

Well, I am usinf ZoneAlarm as a firewall. Now if I want to use ShaPlus, how do I configure my firewall so that the password cannot be passed to anywhere else except to login to the Dataone website.

Well, I am usinf ZoneAlarm as a firewall. Now if I want to use ShaPlus, how do I configure my firewall so that the password cannot be passed to anywhere else except to login to the Dataone website.

Well, i dont know about Zone alarm, here's how to do it using Windows Firewall:

1. Open Security Center and choose Firewall options ( you may go there by right clicking your connectoin & choosing Change Firewall settings:
2. In the Exceptions tab, click Add program & add dataone bandwidth from shaplus.
3. Now, click on that entry, choose edit...
4. Click "Change scope".
5. Select Custom List and add the dataone url:
10.240.89.199
Note: For this to work, ensure that you have Exceptions as enabled. You can enable it in the General Tab.

Can i use anyone's user id of Dataone to access in happy hrs (2am-8am)
So anyone who wana share his id just for night surfing in happy hrs. can mail me ....... netlover44@rediffmail.com

sorry, cause this question have been asked many times before, but none of the earlier posts could help me. so here are my doubts:

1. will any one be able to use someone else's Id and password on their own dataone enabled phonelines?
If yes who will be billed? the ones whose Id is used or the one's whose phone lines are used.

please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

[go4saket]

Yes, ofcourse you can use others user ID and passwords and doins so, all usage charge will be charged to the person whose user ID you are suing. So better keep your username and password safe...

I am using BSNL BB through the external modem supplied by them connected via ethernet. Everything was fine before I installed Zone Alarm. I genrally hybernate my computer and when I swithon my computer and start my modem, even if I am able to get connected, there is no data transfers. It is only possible if I restart my computer. This wasn't the case before installing Zonealarm. Now, why can this be happening? Is it because of some setting in ZA?

[harsh bajpai]

Zone alarm has some prob with dataone type connections. with me and a friend a blue screen appeared every time we connected, which said that windows was shut down to prevent damage... etc.

Check the "Program Control" in Z Alarm.

Already checked that... Found nothing that could be causing this problem...

[harsh bajpai]

@go4saket
I've tried everything i could think of. Altho ZA is an exellent firewall I had to part with it. currently using kaspersky firewall.

[go4saket]

How is Kaspersky firewall...As for its antivirus software, i just found it to be fab. Please do tell me about its firewall and its features...

[Ankur Gupta]

can one use others account in mtnl triband also???
and if yes how 2 use someone others account if i have his username and password(with his permission of course!!)????

[harsh bajpai]

@go4saket
Kaspersky firewall is quite good(i'll rank it as 2nd after ZA) but not as good as ZA. switched to kaspersky only after having problems with ZA.

[shoegoe]

Zone alarm has some prob with dataone type connections. with me and a friend a blue screen appeared every time we connected, which said that windows was shut down to prevent damage... etc.

Hmm....Tats not Mostly between ur zonealarm and dataone... Do u use kaspersky Antivirus??

[harsh bajpai]

yes i've been using kaspersky antivirus from quite a while now.

[shoegoe]

yes i've been using kaspersky antivirus from quite a while now.

Hmm... you specified that a blue screen appears when u connect the internet .. right?

Probable Case :

If u have installed Kaspersky*, when u connect to the net(dial it) by a dialer, the system gets shutdown. I heard that this was due to kaspersky's network scan. If u install Kaspersky* with a serial, the system gets shutdown with the warnin messege. Try uninstalling kaspersky FULLY, restart sys,Reinstalling zonealarm and connecting to dataone dialer. Most probably, u'll get connected. If not disable network scan/alike options in kaspersky and restart and connect..

Most probably,, this may not work out.. Hopefully check if it helps u

[harsh bajpai]

OK i'll try it.

[mohit]

ok guys temme something .. i am having a home 256 kbps plan and a frnd is having a home 512 kbps plan. so both of us are having the night unlimited feature. now as its possible to use one account by different users (one of my frnd was able to access my dataone a/c from his home) i want to know if i use my frnds 512kbps connection only between 2am-8am to get better speeds , will he get billed for it or it will be free ??

[mohit]

and adding to the above i would also like to know if there is any effect on the speed of the connection if more than 1 person uses it ?? does it get shared or remains full for each user ??

[desertwind]

If you use it only during happy hours, he wont be charged.

And regarding your second query, i'm quite unsure, but most probably both of you will get full speeds.

My problem with Zone Alarm is sorted out. The problem was actually a software called Folder Security. With this software installed, ZA didn't work and my comp used to get held up every time. Since the time I have uninstalled this software, every things fine...

[go4saket]

Hey, I am facing another problem with ZA. I am using the external modem supplied by the BSNL guys. Now, if I disconnect my BB connection and after some time want to get reconnected, I am unable to. It is only after a computer restart that I am able to get connected. Even if I some time get connected without a restart, there is no data flow. This has started happening only after installing ZA.

Now, what can this be and how can I come out of this? Please guide...

From my experience, it takes one or two minutes for the modem/router to be functional after it is switched on, ie. after the 'link' led has finished its blinking. And even even after the connect button is pressed it takes some time for the "Connected to Dataone" message to appear. Could the same be the reason why you feel that you are not getting connected?

And what about the experience of others?

another query guys.

what is the max upload speed of dataone 512kbps and 256kbps plans ??

[desertwind]

Its usually 1/4th of the download speed. So u'll get 8 and 16 KBps respectively.

I have tried the switching off and back on. The problem is that if I dont switch of and back on, it just wont connect at all. It is only after switching it off and back on that it gets connects, but there is just no data flow...

Tried it many a times and every time it's the same problem...

I aksed the BSNL ppl here, they say they have no idea abt anything of this sort..the reply I expected.

If at all the Uploads are free, then it's great news for me, I can improve my ratio at some private tracker torrent sites :D

[kato]

actually i have my own questions that is if the uploads are free then why are they displayed on their site also i have a feeling they do charge for uploads and its useless to ask the guys here as drgrudge has already asked them and the answer i thought they wud give was "wat is uploads" but i guess they gave a better answer that they dont know it.

[drgrudge]

actually i have my own questions that is if the uploads are free then why are they displayed on their site also i have a feeling they do charge for uploads
lol so why are the usage logs are shown for the happy hours?

[kato]

Yeah i thought so someone might pop that question i only have one guess coz they dont know how to exclude it and excluding all uploads is easier than just excluding the downloads(and uploads too) of a specific timimgs

[zinda]

Here goes my questions

1 . Do I have to pay telephone bill for using DataOne connection (just like the old dial-up)??

2. Can I run a webserver of Dataone connection?? Is it against their TOC??

3. Are Huawei ADSL modems good??? Do they have BASIC routing facilities like port forwarding etc. or I will have to go for a Linksys or Netgear ADSL modem cum Router??

[go4saket]

For your first question, no you wont have to pay any telephone bill as you used to in dial up. Ofcoyrse you will see the BB charge in your telephone bill, but that will be according your download and not according to time...

Secondly, yes, you can run a webserver of dataone connection.

Finally, you dont have a choice as you generally wont find this modem in the market. Still, I am sure there shouldn't be any problem as you have one year warrenty if you are going for outright purchase.

[zinda]

For your first question, no you wont have to pay any telephone bill as you used to in dial up. Ofcoyrse you will see the BB charge in your telephone bill, but that will be according your download and not according to time...
1st Thanx a lot 4 ur reply and clarification, but I couldn't get what BB means above???

Secondly, yes, you can run a webserver of dataone connection.
WOW!!!Thats's great!!! :D I am really getting very happy!!!

Finally, you dont have a choice as you generally wont find this modem in the market. Still, I am sure there shouldn't be any problem as you have one year warrenty if you are going for outright purchase.
No, I meant that is it necessary to take the Huawei ADSL modem??? My vendor is hell inclined over its MT880 model and is even challenging the good, old and reliable LinkSys or NetGear ADSL modems(few of their models have very professional class routing abilities).

I brother is about to come from the trip of UK soon (in 2 weeks or so), so I can ask him to bring the better ADSL modems IFF its NOT COMPULSARY to buy BSNL ADSL modem

[janitha]

It is not compulsory to buy modem from BSNL and you can buy your own. But you may not get their installation/service.

V.Prem Kumar

[go4saket]

First of all, BB meand BroadBand...

Secondly, you can ofcourse buy an ADSL modem from anyone. There is no legal binding that you have to buy it from BSNL, but you have to configure it yourself as the BSNL guys wont help you in that. I the price structure is about the same, I would recommend you to get it from the BSNL guys only. Rest on you...

[Aseem Nasnodkar]

I have applied for DataOne broadband.

I was told that they have 4 modems of the following prices:

1200/-
1500/-
1800/-
2000/-

Availability of all of the above modems was unsure. Also the personnel at the office were unaware of the differeces in features of the above modems.

I chose the modem of 1800/-. Please let me know the differeces in them. All that I know is that the first modem is of Dlink and the rest 3 are of Huawei company.

I want to know the differece in features and the superiority in performance of all of the above modems.

[desertwind]

They differs in the type and no. of connectivity ports.

Type I Modem - 1 Ethernet, 1 USB - Rs. 1200
Type II Modem - 1 Ethernet, 1 Wi-Fi - Rs. 1800
Type III Modem - 4 Ethernet - Rs. 1500
Type IV Modem - 4 Ethernet, 1 Wi-Fi - Rs. 2000

Hope Its clear.

hay... ealryer i have mentioned in this forum that in dataone if u have multiuser connection u can login Simultaneouslly from a same account but from 2/3/4 difrent Phone....

Now just for 2 day BSNL has stoped this...

now i would like to no one thing... what BSNL means by Multi user account?? is it mean that i can make many login from a same account?? or is it just a name to id bussiness customer??

if its the 1st one... then its a fault of them.... hmm??

[desertwind]

Multi user account means that, u can use the same connection on different machines. In simple terms, Internet Connection sharing over a LAN.

[Charan]

hi all,
By the permision of my friend i can now use his dataone account, as he will not be using it.when i tried to use his UN/PW, i did not get connected. the link led blinks in orange. is it now not possible to use others account ?

[Choto Cheeta]

Hello today i saw an announcement in dataone.in as follows:

Dataone Service is likely to be partially affected on 22nd January 2006 between 03:00 Hrs to 05:00 Hrs due to scheduled maintenance activity. Inconvenience is sincerely regretted

Hell! now wahtta

[yrana2002]

Hey, i just wanted to know how many of users here use LAN connection to connect to dataone.
And how many use dialer to connect?
I just want to know whats the difference in the speeds or connectivity

[go4saket]

What do you mean by dialer? I guess in both LAN and USB, you need a interface that can help you to connect, but thats not like the dial up connector. Anyways, I am using it through LAN...

[janitha]

Yes.

[kato]

The thing is we have seen many people using dataone as a dial up connection by some dialer but it is restriccted to only some places all others have always on connection

[janitha]

I was asked by the BSNL people to configure the dial up. And it takes a minimum two minutes to get really connected to Dataone. My system is not a slow one and the telephone line is fine and wihout any noise.

And I have been wondering why it is called always on.

Ofcourse you can use it on your telephone, but dataone wont simply work on every telephone. For that you need your telephone to be BB enabled, which is done only when you apply for a connection.

[kato]

I dunno maybe it might be the case for some ppl but mostly its always on which means u switch on the router/modem which u got from BSNL and it connects u without need of entering username and password always and as u r in Kollam maybe some Dataone user from kerala on the forum like Desertwind might be knowing wats going on there

Hi all.. I like to switch to BSNL BB.. I live in chennai and used to d/l min 5GB per Month.. I now use BSNL BFONE Dial-Up Connection..

One of my frnd told tht usin BSNL BB the d/l speed is only 4-5 KB/s.. Is it true.. Wats the max v can get usin BSNL BB.. TIA

[kato]

U shud be clear wat plan u want to know about mostly ppl wanna know about the 500 home plan(256 kbps). If that is the case then the speeds u will get will be around 32 KBps and if u get lucky then u might get better speeds too

[desertwind]

You'll get the download speed of 32 KB/s for a Home 500 connection. But there's a transfer limit of 1 GB with 2-8 AM Free.

The Max you can get for a Home use is 128 KB/s (1 mbps - Home 3300 - 10 GB Limit - Night Free) and a Business use is 256 KB/s (2 mbps - Business 9000 - 40 GB limit)

Check here (http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm) for details

[dreams]

I want 2 goto Home Plan 500 PM. But one of my frnd told me tht he was able to d/l a movie of size 700 MB in 5 Minutes.. He was also usin Home Plan 500.. thts y i was askin.. Is it possible ??

[go4saket]

Thats not possible with normal Home plan in BSNL BB.

i have 2 accounts .One mine and the other is of my friend .Now i want to use the two acoounts simultaneously using virtual Pc or VMware.Can anyone explain how to setup theconnections.I want to use a account in Win Xp and the other account in Virtual Pc.Is it possible .. My config is

INTEL 865 GBF

I was not aware of it and that is why I asked.
But here at Kollam there has been no problem for the last so many days. But who knows when........!

V.Prem Kumar

[medigit]

what about the second question .Using 2 accounts at the same time..

[janitha]

It was about three months back that I got my Dataone 250 Home Plan. I use it mostly for surfing, forums, very little downloads etc. and hence never exeed the 0.4 GB limit. i had paid the modem outright purchase price of Rs.1200 in advance and Rs.500 installation charge was paid with the first bill.

The problem is that every month I am charged in the bill Rs.166.67 as "ARDR instalment". When I enquird at the BSNL office, I am getting different answers. One of them told that the cost of modem is 2500 and the balance amount is relized in instalments which is definitely not correct. Another senior officer told that I had not applied for STD which is required for the BB and the deposit for the same is recouped in instalments, which is also not pertinent.

Above all, none of them knows what exactly is meant by the "ARDR instalment".

Will any of you explain?

with regards,

V.prem Kumar

listening to old modem symphony after few months....

[go4saket]

I had been reqularly checking my bandwidth from the dataone official website. Last month whenever I checked the bandwidth, it used to show the details of all sessions proir to the present session, no matter even if the last session ended ten minutes back. From this month onwards I marked that the details of the current date wasn't displayed and today I marked that the details of the last two days are not being displayed. This means that if i want to check the details of today, I have to wait for another two days to check it out.

Is this just happening with me or with everyone. If this continues, how can we check at the end of the month how much bandwidth is left which can be used to download some stuff.

I hope I am able to make myself clear...

Yes, you are of course very clear and all these are correct in my case also. Now I am also getting 2 days old details while previously I used to get those of the previous session.

This is what sucks about BSNL. Is there some kind of a forum of BSNL where we can put in out complains or clearify our doubts. Dont tell me to contact in the BSNL office as the staff out there are the dumbest I have come accross...

[chesss]

A modem for 1200 sounds too cheap to me. Try searching for other similar modems cost at computers.ebay.in to get an idea of prevailing costs.

[janitha]

A modem for 1200 sounds too cheap to me. Try searching for other similar modems cost at computers.ebay.in to get an idea of prevailing costs.

In fact that is the price at which everybody buys the modem/router from BSNL. It is also the price shown in their advertisements and in their website.

But the basic question is why they are charging Rs. 166.67 as "ARDR instalment" and whether everybody is charged like that.

An what is this ARDR?

[foreveranuj]

Personally, I have very lil faith and respect for any Goverernment Enterprise(BSNL, Railways, Traffic Police etc.)

Not that SIFY is too good either, but ive had no reason to regret in the last 3years that ive been a customer of Sify.

Prolly, someone who gets the same charge can help you, Janitha.

Either way you can. Only that if you buy modem/router youself, you wont get support/guarantee from BSNL.

[sujeet2555]

lol I dont bother abt the time/clock of the BSNL servers, I just start my torrents at 2 am sharp (my watch time :P) it works out to be 1:55 am BSNL server time. But it's good in a way that i will be leeching at 100mb/hr by the time it's 2 am with the BSNL servers :D
So daily I start at 1:55 and disconenct at 7:57-58 am.

You can see check the time, but connecting once and then checking up with the logs in the BSNL site or using shaplus.

[~Phenom~]

Hey guys.
Now I also joined the broadband users club and without spending a penny.
How?
Well , today I got a call from BSNL and they told me to try their Dataone for two months absolutely free of cost.
I jumped up to the occasion and got it.
Now , the external ADSL modem is installed and I m enjoying the Broadband free of cost.
Isnt that gr8.
I m loving it, couldnt ask for more.
Can anyone tell me what will be the cost of this modem if I wanted to purchase it from market , in case I decided to keep it after trial .

I have taken the free BB offer from BSNL and is currently enjoying 2 months of free Broadband usage, now that my permissible limit is 400MB I always check it regularly.Now that there has been some unneccessary spikes in usage about 30-40MB and I changed the password immediately,

On the 29th I was outside home till 11pm and on the 30th when I checked it shows there has been a 190MB download on 29th from 9pm-2am

I was so shocked with this !!!!!!!! Man now I have to pay for the whole lot @1.4 rupee per Mb accounting to about Rs 280 whereas I haven't accessed the net then.

Man is this the service level of BSNL ????????

What to do now ?????

Help me guys,please

[desertwind]

Complain it to the officials quoting the time. They may be able to track the telephone no which the account has been accessed.

dont worry dude .. me and a couple of my frnds also faced this prob 2 mnths back .. there was a prob wid the bsnl server and it showed logs of usage around 5.5 hours behind. jst give a letter to the concerned authorities in ur area and keep a stamped copy for urself. so this will make u safe frm extra billing as u would have already informed them about the prob,

as the time i really use is shown correctly
so there is a log which is shown when i am not usin or someone else is usin on my a/c

any further ideas folks

thanx mohit but I was thinking is it safe to give our passwords to such third party softwares ???
:?

[yrana2002]

Oh yes, it is. Just configure Shaplus from Windows Firewall or any other firewall so that it connects to only the Bsnl site and not to anything else.
Search this thread 4-6 pages back to see how to do it.
