I got my telephone bill for september some days before, but i checked it only today. To my surprise there's nothing regarding DataOne!!! No monthly rent, No Modem rent....

I havent even paid the security deposit, they told me they will charge it on my telephone bill. But believe it, I enjoyed BSNL DataOne free on Ssptember.

I dont know whether they give me a seperate bill, or append this one to my october bill. and tracking me will be very easy as there's only 16 DataOne users in my whole exchange.

[Retro]

Hmm...Interesting. I've always got my Dataone Bill with the Phone Bill. Don't worry, BSNL isn't that dumb. You might probably get a separate bill or one of your family members paid the whole amount for the year.

BTW, Great Thread Dr.Grudge.

[kato]

i m sure they wont let u get it for free and it may not be written but added to the bill directly wat htey had done to my bill. I got bill 3000 total of phone and dataone they charged us 1000 extra and said it was a mistake in billing

[infra_red_dude]

this is for those who had queries about the unaccounted usage. i got my bill for sept. i got my dataone connection on 20th sept. the charges for 10dayz were rs.177.72. tho i downloaded more than 2gb during the happy hours i wasnt charged. btw am in bangalore.

so, 3 folks here (drgrudge, papudada and me) haf confirmed it till now. hey tarey_g, hope ur doubts are cleared.

[tarey_g]

thx infra_red_dude ,but i was talking abt the overlapped usages . I know that the happy hrs usage will not be charged . thx anyway.

btw drgrudge can u merge this thread here

[GunshotSilence]

my latest bill came in

i expected to be billed for 1000Rs as i exceeded my usage of 2gbs , but they charged me 2800Rs.

they overcharged me 750 installation which i got them to less from my account aftewr fighting for 2 hrs.

and balance amount above 1000 is my phone sec. amount.

BUT WHY ISNT THEIR DAMN SITE SHOWING ME MY RECORDS??

i went to dataone.in and clicked on account admin and it takes me to bsnl.co.in

im unable to see my account. also there was another site in some 2xx.xxx.xxx kind of address which dataone.ion reidrected b4. there i loged in successfully but used to get "server timedout" if i clicked on any link.

bsnl help guys think time out is of my system. how foolish of them

[desertwind]

No they dont. I've got only a telephone bill of Rs. 1000, of which Rs. 700 is my bi-monthy rent.

[nishant_nms]

I had aplied for BB and i had been told that my bb will start working from 26th so i want to know that in how many days i have to finish my1 GB limit. And what's the monthly cycle of bb 1st or 16th.

[infra_red_dude]

monthly cycle is 1st. but i heard that if u cross 500mb in 15 days then it is charged. i'm not sure about this. but the billing cycle is from 1st for sure.

if it started working from 26th, then u get 4/31=0.024gb

[nishant_nms]

Then in the case i have to pay the whole 500 or not? I was asked to pay the 1st month's rental in advance and i had payed it. Will my 500 be wasted

[infra_red_dude]

nope i had that doubt too. asked bsnl ppl..and everyone gave me a diff answer...

drgrudge told me that its taken as security deposit and refunded when u get ur connection disconnected.

[desertwind]

One month advance rental is collected as a security deposit and won't count for any month, it will be returned when you surrender your connection. AFAIK, for those connection which begins after the 20th of a month, they wont collect rent, but charges according to ur usage. Rs. 1.5/MB i think.

[drgrudge]

So we get rs. 1k when we surrender? Rs. 500 that we paid in the first bill and the 500 we paid in the beginning.. correct?

[desertwind]

This is what u get when u surrender ur connection

Rs. 500 for Modem SD, if u have a modem rental plan
One month advance rent paid (Only for Business plans, and home plans above Home1000).

[drgrudge]

Modem SD is not refundable.

We paid:
500 --> Modem SD
500 --> installation (both non-refundable).
500 --> first month's payment
Another 500, which I can't account for. Plus 10.2% service tax.
First month extra 500 will be refunded irrespective of the plan, or atleast they will refund for plan Home 500.


I have posted this many times, but now I have forgot :(

[desertwind]

Ofcourse Modem SD is refundable

refer to http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm

Installation charges are not refundable.

[nishant_nms]

I had taken the modem in one time payment i.e. 1200 I am taking about another 500 which i was aked for one month's advance rental and i had applied in plan 500

[desertwind]

i havent given an single paise till now for BSNL DataOne. Beleive it or not, not a single penny, even no rental.

It's refundable only with effect from 9th June 2005.. I registered dataone way back in jan 05 and got it on feb 14th.
So for me it's not refundable :(
Even otherwise, I think I will be getting rs. 1k (500 from the first month's extra payment; the other which I can't account for).

[mohit]

i also got the same msg when i first visited that site .. i did install the chinese language pack. i have no idea why the damn bsnl portal needs it but everytime i reinstall windows and visit that page it prompts me to install the chinese language pack.

Strange ....I have got two bills one for september and one for august but no mention of DataOne....
So,I have been using dataone for free in the last two months.
Anybody else in similar situation?
If so,why do U think u aint getting bills??
BTW i got my connection in feb and from then on I have been paying normal charges (ie 500 rental etc...)

thx prakash , that link works . i think bsnl has intentionally redirected the link to the account usage page to the bsnl.co.in site.

According to a leading newspaper the 'server for dial up users in Delhi is down for some reasons. so bsnl has transferred the dial up connections to be handled by delhi dialup server to the Bangalore dataone broadband server' .

as too much usage by both dialup and dataone users will lead to the server probs and bandwidth issues , so bsnl is not showin the usage stats to the dataone users so they restrict themselves to less usage to avoid crossing the MB limit . less usage by dataone users(as by me in last three days) will lead to better bandwidth management for bsnl . so i think the account usage stats page will be redirected to www.bsnl.co.in until the Delhi server prob is fixed

I have a "single" PC(assembled) with:

1.Intel PIII 933MHz processor.
2.Intel 815e Motherboard.
3.40GB Seagate Hard Disk.

Now i want to install Bsnl Broadband(256Kbps).

Which 'NEW' hardwares i shoud buy? And what will be the price of them?(I dont want to rent any hardware)

[whim_gen]

Well,if ur mobo doesnt come with a built in Ethernet port,u should buy a LAN card.
A decent LAN card would be Realtek or D-Link .Should cost you at the max Rs.400
Also,if you plan to use USB modem from BSNL Dataone,U shud ask your dealer to get you a USB Card (ie a PCI card with USB ports)..shud cost you max Rs.300

[drgrudge]

USB ports will be in default in 97.9954646546% of the PCs, nowadays even ethernet/LAN card comes in default.

LAN crad costed only rs. 175 (this feb when I got mine; Realtek)

So you can go for USB/LAN modem depending on your requirements and what you have in your PC installed.
Regarding modem purchase, visit:
http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm#Modem%20on%20Outright%20purchas e:

[kato]

in my opinion go for lan card as by judging by ur mobo i can tell its old and USB is 1.x or sumthing.
And for LAN card the hassle is very less too

[kato]

cosx have u yet purchased ur bsnl dataone or u just want its hardware requirements. So if not and if u are going for a scheme choose the 500 bucks scheme the other one (250 bucks) is waste

@drgrudge now i get it u are using one of those extensions for browser

[Retro]

Which 'NEW' hardwares i shoud buy? And what will be the price of them?(I dont want to rent any hardware)
Just a note, you can't install BSNL Broadband. You are only connecting to it

You have to buy a Modem and 10/100MBPS Lan Card. The former will be provided by BSNL itself @ Prices Ranging from 1200-2000, and you can choose the modem you like. The latter could be bought by you at any comp store and will have to plugged in a USB Port.

[elumalai]

many a times, i am online. bsnl, dataone, and ofcourse thinkdigit.com/forum everything works fine. but yahoomail, gmail and many other sites r not. do anybody face problems like these.

or is my computer hacked, affected by virus????
somebody help. thank u

Hey retro r u saying that LAN card is connected by ur USB then that is wrong or else wat u mean is that u can connect the modem by LAN card or USB for such Type I modem is used

The cust care said I cannot use another id on my telephone line. I guess then , it wont work. :(

[raj14]

BSNL recently replaced their Serves to Avoid id Theft Achako, it's illegal to use another person's DataOne id. smiliar to VSNL's Dial Up, were the requested account can only be dialed from a specific number so avoid id theft.

[tarey_g]

using another dataone id on ur telephone line(thru which u have ur broadband connection) is perfectly possible.

I used my frnd's id from my line , that too when he was already logged on to the net thru his id , so two users online at the sametime with one id.

[raj14]

Well maybe BSNL hasn't replaced their servers in your city, they surely did in my city:D

[Generic Superhero]

i got my phone bill, i find that i hav been charged 2000/- as the modem sale price :shock: is that the right price? i knew that the price was 1200/-
plz reply fast

[Generic Superhero]

It has been raining quite heavily in my place, now do anyone experience a slight fall in the BW? Or maybe my torrents health was not good enough :|

well.. last week it rained here for 4-5 dasy at a stretch (coz of a low pressure trough over bay of bengal) and throughout this period my connection went through ups and downs... that is, sometimes it worked well and sometimestimes the connection seemed to be dead...at times i could not connect even

[raj14]

Yes in fact i did! the speed was incredibly slow, it was like surfing on Dial-Up. thankfully it got fixed.

[desertwind]

@achacko: that is perfectly possible. There is no relation between userid and telephne no, except that of billing. Any userid can be used from any telephone no. I wish that BSNL should rectify this asap, using the same technology of CLI based internet.

@raj14: It is illegal ofcourse, but not impossible. BSNL says so as to avoid id theft. I know several ppl using ids registred with other telephone nos.

@Generic SuperHero: The modem price varies from Rs. 1200/- to Rs. 2000. Depends on modem type. What type so you have ? A usb or a nic ?
Have a look at here for comparison between 4 types of modems
http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm

[Generic Superhero]

my modem has one ethernet port and one usb port... so this is type 1 --in fact i checked that one when i applied for the connection

[chatterjeesayan]

I can't open 192.168.1.1.is it working for you now?Please let me know more about it.

I can't also open http://10.240.128.195 for checking my bandwidth usage.

Hmm...I use Dataone broadband on my Kubuntu linux and have never had any problems. The connection automatically gets turned on at bootup and it stays on......plus the connection is MUCH FASTER in kubuntu linux than in windows 98 (which my bro uses and is so disappointed with its speed).
In Kubuntu the speed often goes upto 70kbps or more!

And in Kubuntu, I didn't even have to install a SINGLE thing...not even the need to pop in that stupid broadband cd or install that pppoe stuff.....All that was needed was my username & password:)

Last but not the least, even if u DON'T have a hard disk inside ur PC, u can still go online and surf & chat!! Yeah thats possible with linux livecds like knoppix etc.......the pc boots from the CD and u get a working linux OS, as long as the CD is in the cdrom drive. Livecds are perfect for trying out linux and for data recovery if ur pc won't boot.

HAS ANYONE faced this problem?

on sundays the speed is terribly slow or sometimes it gets connected but no data transfer at all. and

on week days suppoose i use the net for like 2-3 hrs and idsconnect or stay idle for like 10 mins or so replying to mails, it doesnt connect after that. i sometimes hfta to retart my system to connect but still no data transfer. so i haveto wait for like next day to connect again.

C'mon, who are you kidding!?! 70KBps? I assume that you don't mean Kilobits (denoted by the small b, but rather KiloBytes (large B). If you are trying to say that you get a constant download speed of 70KBps (P2P is not a valid reference tool, as many of them usually show ridiculous speeds when multiple downloads are in progress. I have seen 15KBPS speeds being reported on dial-up connections), and I mean constant, not data bursts (the sudden burst of speed you sometimes get when downloading, usually when you start a download, these go up to 150KBps on my DataOne 256), you are not on a 256Kbps connection.

Linux in not God, it can’t pull miracles. There is only so much you can do at the client end to increase your speed. The theoretical limit of a 256Kbps connection is around 32KBps downstream (256/8). And you don’t need to install pppoe on WinXP either, just specify a broadband connection and give your username and password, Win98 is so old that it is retarded for today’s tech. Linux/Win2k/WinXP will be better than 98 for bb, as they have a better TCP/IP stack.

[Retro]

you are not on a 256Kbps connection.

Wasn't that obvious. He probably is on a 512Kbps and BSNL does provide upto 2 Mbps.

On Sundays, the speed is supposed to be slow, I guess. But maybe not to extents you mention as max people use Dataone on a sunday.

[vishalbhatia]

Hey from where to chk usage?

Nope, I still think he is on a 256Kbps connection, otherwise why would he be so excited about getting 70KBPs on a 512Kbps connection? That would be well within the norms. He is trying to show the hyper-speed that he gets on Linux.

The telephone lines do not have any fault.I get an error message saying the operation timed out.By the way what is a CPE.

The line indicator light on the modem is orange sometimes and sometimes green.Does it have anything to do with my problem.

Guys, I am having a problem checking Email from the website. When I check my Email using Outlook Express, everything works perfectly. However, when I goto dataone.in and enter UN and Pass, click Ok, it says "Page Not Found". If I type some wrong UN and try, it gives "Invalid Username". I tried using IE also.

I've been facing the problem since many weeks now. I guess they have screwed that and will not do anything abt it. I called up their cust care and some bloke said give complaint, i gave almost 20 and no response.

could u reexplain the whole thing? I cant understand a word. i've got a bsnl broadband. Maybe i could be of help<> :D

[selva1966]

I also do not understand your question fully. But it appears that you want evade income tax.

That will not be encouraged in this forum :D In any forum :P :P

[eureca_eureca]

dude i want some concession to be got on my income tax, rather than increasing it i can find way to decrease the expenses,
thats my choice , and to be proud of my self , i pay income taxes , sales taxes and use no pirated softwares :D eh eh ehe h got it

now let me tell u guys in short ..
i want to use BB on my home pc and bill amount to appear on my shop bsnl land line bill for the internet usage...
cos in the reg form i found a diffrent billing address...can this be used to do that ?

Thx in advance ...


and they have been asking for the copy iof the recent bill , i think its possible ...can a mod help me out , GRUDGE , Raabo , any buddy readin this

[desertwind]

That wont be possible. the BB will be billed only with the telephone which you've registered. And if you register BB with your shop no, you'll be forced to select any one of the business plans, since home plans would be given only to individual telephones.

Any why dont you people use the sticky for all DataOne related queries ? Reporting...

[eureca_eureca]

it would be better if there was a section rather then a thread ....its quite hard to find some thing .

[kato]

actually we had asked it to make a sticky i guess ur topic was merged with sticky now and regarding ur queries. If u had registered the broadband in the name of ur landline at home u will get it their only and also if u had given address of ur shop then ur BB would br connected in ur office not in ur house


Edit: Forgot to say the topic is not that big to have its own section as it would be flooded with the queries in form of different threads which wud be terribaly painful to look

[shoegoe]

Hi guys
Some prob/doubts in dataone:

I installed SmartAX MT882 in XP through usb without any problem[No detection error .. nothing in the first time]. "Huawei MT882 USB Remote Network Device" was adden to my network connections.

i tried to install a PPPoE dailer RASPPPOE. I liked to control my connection through a dialer rather than inbuild PPPoE dialer in the modem.But when i choose Huawei MT882 USB Remote Network Device in the RASPPPoE list, it stated below.

http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/7320/dataonee15ko.th.jpg (http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dataonee15ko.jpg)

I was able to use the broadband through the inbuild pppoe dialer though.I would like to know how to install a PPPoE dialer so that i can turn on and off the modem like a dial up survice. Awaiting reply


Please also lead me how to install the same ( even with the os dialer)

[kato]

if u want to use it with the RASPPPOE then try and install ur modem through eternet card it may work then

[Retro]

I'm having a dam problem here. Whenever I try to goto BSNL Dataone's Portal, that idiotic page never loads and stops. I have to press Refresh twice so that the page loads. Same thing happens after I login, Have to click Refresh twice. Now After I press Refresh 6 times and login, to the left there are the 5 links. I click Service records but nothing happens, I click it 5 times but same except a blue background loads to the right. Anyone else having this problem. Now I can't check my usage too. :(

Please Help me out
Retro

[kato]

its a problem u will have to bear with if u r not using IE so whenever going to the portal use internet explorer

[praka123]

try this on IE :
http://10.240.89.199

[GunshotSilence]

no use
tried in proper IE

logsin but no response on lciking on user info. same blue screen with options

also earlier on clicking i used to get "operation timedout"
im using
dataone bandwidth finder from shaplus.com

but its doin nothing too

[praka123]

am using http://10.240.89.199/ in IE no probs and workas with latest shaplus

[GunshotSilence]

r u using a firewall?
im using ZA

is it causing the prob?

[kato]

yes sometimes ZA causes trouble it sometimes stops me from going to some sites too. Shut it down then try and also get the latest shaplus 1.3 version it works fine

[yrana2002]

Well, the dataone guys here are nuts. They don't know themselves what's happening. I got a bill of 5300 out of which 1800 was for some deposit & 1600 was shown as brdbnd,even though we had applied for a 250 home plan. When asked, we came to know that we had been registered for the 1800 plan :shock: Now, i've switched over to 500 plan which provides me free happy hours. Also,
in shaplus, what is this option 'exclude usgae in mixed overlappings? Enabling this greatly decreases the usage. Does it show real chargeable usage?

[kato]

actually the option u are refering to means if u started ur download bfore the happy hours and continued to the happy hours then it will excklude the non happy jours. I know its confusing but u will understand it slowly.

[yrana2002]

Hey, Anybody tried downloading yesterday during happy hrs? Mine was just 30KBps max with single DAP download. Tried from other sites & other downloads, also but same result. Even the sites weren't opening as quick as they should've.
Savvy!

[Generic Superhero]

I was testing one thing. I connected 2 my dataone account and sat idle for 5 minutes or so having turned of everythin (messengers, browsers and also my avast antivirus waaznt updatin i am sure). now i disconnected and connnected afterwards to check the usage in bsnl site. i found out that 122 kb has been spent during that session :shock: how can that be?

someone plz check this (check in similar manner) and reply

[yrana2002]

THis is serious now, it has been 3 days since this 25-30kbps speeds been going on. Someone please help. Coincedently, it has started since 1 Nov.!!

[kato]

yrana u r using 500 home plan then how the hell can u get more speed earlier u were using 1800 plan that is why u got great speeds. The speed u get in 500 home plan is normal

[vishalbhatia]

Please tell me where to check the usage of BSNL DataOne and which plan is currently I have.
10.240.89.199 is only giving user info and not usage datails. dataone.in is also redirect me to bsnl.co.in whenever I click "Check Your Account Usage". Guys plz help!

[kato]

r u sure u r using IE and not any other browsers that way u can check the usage i dont know how to check which plan u have

[yrana2002]

Thanks kato, that solves the problem for me. You're really as quick as Nightcrawler. Well, but doesn't dataone provide same speeds in all areas like 256kb/s?
So will my speeds be limited to just this? :cry:
Well, what about dsl tweaks which claim to fasten up speeds by 300%?

[kato]

i will tell u one thing 256 kbps means 256 kilo bits per second its not bytes so when u convert it to bytes u get it around 225 or 30 KBps meaning kilo bytes per second so the speed they show is in kilobits not kilo bytes.

[tarey_g]

@yarana , by no means u will get download speed more than 30-35 KBps on a 256Kbps connection . and a increase of speed by 300% by some tweaks is rubbish.

[Retro]

There is absolutely no proper XP Tweak which will increase your speed by even 20% except one where you can change the amount of bandwidth alloted to Windows itself.

Guys, I need serious serious help. I'm not using any firewall or anything at all. I tried entering the BSNL IP Address using IE and refreshed my way to the login page, entered the panel by entering the ID and password. Now, the page has a menu on the left with 5 links like "Service Records", "Change Password", etc with a search box below. The right side has a blue background with a design. When I click "Service Records" or any other link, nothing happens to the left side (think it's a frame), the right side loads and becomes all white, that's all, no matter how much times I click. Does anyone else face this problem? Anyone know the solution? I'm going mad.

What's the problem with BSNL? Grrr....

I'm using no extra software or anything. Does Portal work in any other browser like Avant or Maxthon or etc, etc.

Thanks
~ Retro

[tarey_g]

@retro , nothing more stupid these bsnl guys can do(i can only hope this is the limit ,u can never know if they can beat this too) , if ppl like us are facing problems regarding dataone , think of the other users who dont know bit abt computers but are using dataone. those ppl are busy in clicking account admin link on the dataone.in site from last few days and r getting redirected to the bsnl.co.in page . pity they even dont know how much their usage has gone over/under limit.

I am using this url to know the usage status of my account

http://10.240.43.216/webLogin.jsp
or
http://10.240.89.199


both links give problem when i use in maxthon (probably coz i have many types of blockers enabled there) . so i use this url in IE works perfectly . Do not forget to allow all the session cookies b4 u chk the usage .

the other thing u can do is to use the shaplus software and paste this link in the 'administrative login url' text box . It works for me.

download the shaplus bandwith usage calc frome here in case u dont have it.

Strange, i got DataOne in July, yet it shows record from September, anyway
my November Month usage is currently 7GB :mrgreen: and counting! :twisted:

[balakumar]

Hi,
i am using BSNL's Dataone broadband connection. i want to keep in touch with the usage. in dataone site the usage is given in KB's n i am finding it difficult to check it. so guys if u know any software plz get the link n so i can download it. plz........

[kato]

this is the software u need:

and next time post ur queies in dataone sticky in general section:
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30895

post is reported as there is already a sticky for it

[balakumar]

thnx man.. but i am not able to get it. since i use the no password version

[kato]

As the thread is merged i u shud use the password version of the software with no probs as shaplus had cleared all the doubts here on the forum itself.
But still if u want to use it then follow the instructions properly given in it i have never used it so i dunno how it works and cant try it as i dont have IE.

[raj14]

Don't have IE! :shock: did you uninstalled it or do you use Another OS than Windows? :roll: BTW, you can always make Opera "Identify as IE" to avoid the "Sorry IE is needed" error :)

[kato]

no i uninstalled it never felt the need of it just useless
and i dont use Opera i use FF

[krdevilal]

I am not able to access acount status page of dataone.If anyone know the URL please reply.The existing link is dead.

[kato]

u should be able to see the records if u try this llink and it will only work in IE:
http://10.240.89.199/

[krdevilal]

Thanks a lot kato...

[nishant_nms]

OK I am going to apply for it but i would like to know that can i get the modem in the mareket and if yes then of which brands and their price

[desertwind]

It is better to buy the modem from bsnl. They sell it for a much cheaper rate.

A comparison of modem can be found here (http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm)

[The Incredible]

hi i'm willing to apply for bsnl data1 connection. but i dunno wat do they do in installation fro which they take 250 rupees. pls tell. can i also install it easily. also, i dunno whether my mobo has an ethernet and usb port or not. but my mobo has 3 pci slots. pls inform ASAP. it is urgent. pls help.

[kato]

ok hold on how the hell dont u know there is a USB port or not on ur mobo. Its the port in which u fix ur webcam also if u have a pci slot u can install an ethernet card which wont cost more than 400 bucks. And installing is not done by u they do it so if its difficullt its there problem. THey install the modem and give an ADSL splitter and for that is installation charge

[The Incredible]

how can i know whether i hav a usb or not??

do i have to buy an ethernet card from market or will bsnl gonna provide it if they do the installation

[kato]

ethernet card can be bought from market they wont give it to u and how the hell can i explain wat is a USB port if u r joking then its a bad joke or else look in the back of the CPU if u find a port which is very(very very) small and rectangle then its a USB port

[drgrudge]

Even my 6 year old PC has 2 USB ports, So I am dead sure that, even you will have a one, else, check in your device manager, simple.

[prasad_den]

this is how a USB port looks like..
http://img2.postimage.org/54689/usbport.jpg (http://img2.postimage.org/forums/thinkdigit/54689/usbport.html)

[The Incredible]

yeh my mobo hav usb port. thanks to prasad_den who showed me da diagram.

but the modem which bsnl provides will b inserted in this slot only??? cos i'm a sancharenet user and the modem which i have is inserted in a pci slot.

also, will bsnl provide an ethernet card for installing the ethernet modem.

[nishant_nms]

They will be providing u an external modem not a internal one. And if u want to connect it through ethernet then u have to buy the card yourself BSNL will not provide it

[The Incredible]

They will be providing u an external modem not a internal one.

How will they connect those usb and ethernet modems

[kato]

beta the type I modem has two ways of connection one is by USB other by ethernet card. And ethernet card is not the modem for broadband it is one of the hardware needed(choice of USB too) to connect the modem they give.

[The Incredible]

u mnt that they will rpovide only one modem

[desertwind]

Then how many you want ???.

They will provide you with one modem, which you'll need to connect to the ethernet/usb port of your computer. they gave me a connection diagram, i'll search for it and post it later. simply the connection will look like

Telephone line ----> Splitter------>ADSL Modem---->Ethernet/USB ---->Computer

actually in type one modem there, usb and ethernet had a tick mark which i thought stated that they will provide two modems.

btw wats a splitter, is it wall jack?? wats its use??

will they provide a splitter with the modem or do i hav to buy it (in both cases, i.e., i ask for them to install or do it myself)

[desertwind]

splitter is use to split a single telephone line into two that you can use it to your computer and telephone simultaneously. It is provided by bsnl.

[comrade]

btw what happened to damn dataone.in site.
im not able to login to check my mail or check account usage.

[sujeet2555]

i have been getting very low speed around 30-60kbps when checked with speed measuring tool (from 10th of nov).i have got 256 kbps plan.i usually gets speed around 240-250kbps. anyone dataone user having this problem?

[kato]

please explain ur kbps is it kilo bits per second or kilo bytes per second

[Retro]

Dude, the kbps you get is 30KBps which is very normal. It stands for KiloBytes/second. What BSNL gives you is 256kbps which is KiloBits/sec, which accounts to 32 KBps.

I have SHaplus and another tool called "Bandwidth Calc", however whenever I try to click Check Usage in Shaplus Password version with the "10...." IP in the Administrative URL, nothing happens. Whenever I try with the sancharnet.in/....., it asks me for the latest Flash and then stops activity. Anyone know what I should do. Should I enter my username as username@dataone.in

Some one help me
~ CC

[kato]

http://10.240.89.199/

i think u tried this url did u download the new dataone bandwith calc from shaplus(2.0 ver). It works for me with that address in the url and though it does take some time as its doing the work so dont think it will happen in just a minit will take time.

[batsD1]

A few days back I purchased an ADSL modem from BSNL with a home plan 1800 and 512 kb. The modem model is UTstarcom UT-300R2. BSNL gave me the modem without any explanation on how to set it up. The helpdesk was not very helpful. My question is
1. Do I need to activate PPPoE or DHCP from the modem software?
2. What is VCI and VPI that BSNL is supposed to provide?
3.BSNL says that their network is PPPoE but the PPPoE indicator light on the modem does not light up, only the power, WAN and LAN indicators.
4. I can access the net but is it really necessary to create a new connection?
5. What speeds can I expect from this connection?

[kato]

i dont know all the answers but it wud be helpful if u told which OS are u using and ur normal speeds will be 60 or 65 KBps maybe a bit more.
Also how are u able to connect to internet now r u using some other way to connect or r u connecting using dataone only

[batsD1]

I am using windows XP professional and I am connecting by dial up.

[QwertyManiac]

not sure but i think it is PPPoE as in mine...

even i have non dialling type acess to the net, there is no need to dial if u have set the password/username in to the modem memo...

u can expect upto 512/8 = 64 KBPS (usually) AND +/- 10~20 KBPS

it depends on traffic...

[batsD1]

Thanks Kato & Qwerty maniac for the replies but it still is not clear to me what VCI and VPI are and their values.

[desertwind]

VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier): This is the label given to an ATM VC to identify it and determine its destination. The VCI is a 16-bit number that is included in the header of an ATM cell.

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier): A virtual path determines the way an ATM cell should be routed. The VPI is an 8-bit (in UNI) or 12-bit (in NNI) number that is included in the header of an ATM cell.

The values for VPI and VCI are 0 and 35 respectively.

[yrana2002]

Hey guys, is our dataone related to NAT? How can we find out? What difference does it make?

[Charan]

Hi,

Will the dataone connection be active after i shutdown my pc and not turn off my modem? i.e will the modem disconnect the connection???

[QwertyManiac]

yes, the connection will be disconnected...

no USB/Eth link means no connectio itself...

But its better to turn off the modem coz it gets heated... :(

[drgrudge]

I got my bill yesterday...

And again want to confirm:

1. Never mind if you have connected before 2am and disconnected after 8am (this also includes if you have connected b4 2 and disconnected after 8 ) , you will charged for the extra transfers only.

2. And the accounts manager of my excahnge said that they wont count the transfers till 8:00:59 seconds.. so we get 59 seconds after the limit to disconnect.

And this is the first time that I dint exceed the 1024mb limit :D

[desertwind]

congrats drgrudge for your disciplined performance.

And thanks once again for the confirmation. The problem here is that Accounts Manager or any other official knows nothing on this matter.

[drgrudge]

My exchange accounts manager guy is an IIT graduate (ME in telecommunication) and I know him well.

[Vyasram]

I recently subscribed for home 500 plan in bsnl , according to it i can d'load brtween 2am-8am free (ie without increasing the data transfer counter). But when i checked my account usage , i found that it has also added the amount of data i transfered between 2am-8am . Will I be charged for that ??

Also i want to know whether i will be charged for the entire session if i download between 2am to 10am (ie for 8 hrs) or will i be charged for just two hours (8am to 10am)

Also please suggest me a software to check my total transfer , with an alarm whenever i exceed the 1GB mark . Also please suggest me a software (preferably freeware) to connect and disconnect a pppoe connection at a sheduled time

[drgrudge]

Vyasram,
All your queries is answered in this thread, just look though the 8 pages for the answeres, I am sure ppl here wont waste time to answer a repeat question (atleast I am not going to :p)

And open your eyes and look some 2 posts ahead of yours, I have answered your first question and man I closed your other thread at QnA section (next time I will delete it).

[deepgeek2]

You people know something?
If you are unfortunately in patna at the moment don't try to register for dataone thru its website.
Reason?
The patna branch people say -:

1) The service is down
2) They themselves rarely try to fix it.

So much fun on internet while trying to get a connection....

[Retro]

Yaar, We just can't let users search through 8 Long Boring Pages for their answers. Wouldn't hurt us if we posted it again.

Anyway, if Shaplus is not working for any of you, use Du-Meter. Absolutely great tool. Shows Speed, Usage, Projections and much more.

http://du-meter.com

[tanmoy_rajguru2005]

I want to check my dataone plan.where can i go? how can i change one plan to another?

[DreadLord]

STOP USING DATAONE IT IS SICK !I DONT NO ENG. WORK THERE OR LINEMEN??!!?SERVICE IS LOW QUALITY!!!!

[kato]

first of all stop shouting and please if u dont have queries dont post here.

[Retro]

That was absolutely lame there DreadLord. BSNL Broadband is the country's most used broadband which does serve for people of all Budget-Classes. If you have any problems with it, you should tell it in this topic instead of just flaming.

[batsD1]

Thank you desertwind. Do I have to manually set them or is it automatic?

[selva1966]

Anyway, if Shaplus is not working for any of you, use Du-Meter.

Now shaplus new version 2.1 (from 13.11.05) is working for me. But version 2.0 did't work for me. Although all earlier versions worked well.

[vijay_7287]

i have applied for dataone and brought the modem on my own

they say i need to install it on my own and set it and inform them ,then they will give me id and password
so how do all this need help ????

[QwertyManiac]

Install the drivers and reboot and then type http://192.168.1.1 in IE
(favourably IE, but works in others too)(not sure but most modems have this IP only)

now configure the WAN, LAN, TCP/IP, Connection settings in the modem's page and for unknown settings ask the installer fellow...

[yrana2002]

Well, that IP mentioned here asks for the admin password. how do i get in?
Also, i've recognized that dataone's got its own internal router, by the ipconfig command but how do i find out:
1. The model
2. The manufacturer
3. The Connection type, etc.?
@drgruge
Thanks, i used to sleep after finising off my work at 2:30 to realize that it was upto 10:30 when i got up. I had nigtmares about the bills they would charge as kato had mentioned that extra usage will result in it being charged for sure.!! :x

[QwertyManiac]

3. the connection type is PPPoE and ADSL is in MultiMode

the password can either be "admin" or the company's name or even the product's name, nothing else, fot me it was admin, i changed it...

[prasad_den]

Hi guys,
I'm using the home 500 plan. I have ZoneAlarm Pro on my system. Everytime I try to look for the service records in the BSNL website, it says Page load Error. When I shutdown ZAPro, the page opens..So what should I change in ZA to allow me see the BSNL website without errors..??

[selva1966]

Open ZA. Go to
Privacy
select site list and add
BSNL website

[drgrudge]

@drgruge

When/where did kato post like that? kato needs some spankings (as I can't do, I will settle for a warning tag :P )
Other than me, many others like infra_red_dude, papudada also have confirmed what I said. Also for the past 3 months I have disconnected well after 8am and they might have charged only for the transfers done after 8am.


By the way, I first clicked on the edit post instead of quote post button :roll:

[kato]

hey grudge dont put me on warning i never said they charge for overlapped charges are counted fully anyways i didnt understand wat he said now and wat u quoted it went bouncer

[yrana2002]

So, its like when i enable ' REMOVE mixed usage' & 'free usage' options, the left out display is what is counted isn't it? Please tell me that is true, or else i'm gona go for a hammering. :oops:

Also guys, help me out, i went to the router site & enabled Upnp(did i do a wise thing?) & started Bitcomet. Heres' my log:

These are the default values. Anyway check whether they are st correctly.

[vijay_7287]

well folks i heard dataone is an alwayson connection but now i see we need to use a userid and password for

any comments on this ???

[vijay_7287]

and by the way what type of connection does dataone use pppoe or dynamic ip-address ???

[infra_red_dude]

PPoE wid dynamic IP addressing.

[QwertyManiac]

yes U need User-Id and pass, Indian iShtyle of "Always On"

Just enter it into the modem mem and u are done with BSNL's "Always On"

i have a bsnl 500 connection. The problem i am facing is that during the early morining hours the modem gets connected and disconnected very often. This disrupts my downloading. Please help resolve the issue.

[QwertyManiac]

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...

[yrana2002]

Well, i just enabled Upnp from 192... site & soon found out it detected a new device(Upnp) in the network places, which is SmartAXMT882.
What is this device? What will happen if i 'INVOKE' it?

With my 256 BSNL connection, I am facing the same problem. When there is some relay switching in the ups (due to voltage fuctuation like when the AC compressor swithes on), to which computer, monitor and the modem/router are connecected, the modem disconnects but there is no problem with computer and monitor. Maybe the modem is not tolerant to the swich over time of the relay, while the others are.
Can somebody suggest a remedy?

@drgrudge: I saw an ad (in between Ind-SA ODI - DD Sports) of BSNL dataone, claiming that its all free till dec. 31. No rentals, no connection charge(Try BSNL dataone for free till dec 31). Have any details ? Can u ask ur AM ?

[drgrudge]

See this (http://ashwinr.wordpress.com/2005/11/26/bsnl-dataone-unlimited-transfers-for-home-250/). I will ask my AM but he will be available on Monday only, then we will waste 1.5 days :(

[kato]

dude ok now we are all being happy on a good thing i guess as QM shud have asked earlier but i will also ask i heard that the sify guys say that some of them are connected by somekind of LAN is there any such thing for us dataone guys if yes i shud try to catch hold of sumone in anna nagar with bsnl connection

[desertwind]

See this (http://ashwinr.wordpress.com/2005/11/26/bsnl-dataone-unlimited-transfers-for-home-250/). I will ask my AM but he will be available on Monday only, then we will waste 1.5 days :(

ya i had a look at that.

Surely that will be a waste of 1.5 days, but if it's a hoax, i'll wasting 15k from my dads pocket. I got an extra bill of about Rs. 3000 for october, and dont want to happen that again.

[Max_Power]

I have a DataOne Connection.

I have just installed Skype (www.skype.com) on my desktop. It is a free VoIP software which allows u to talk to anybody in the world for free provided they have a computer connected to internet with Skype software installed on it. Works just like a phone but on a PC.

Today I showed my dad how Skype works and showed him how you could talk to somebody abroad through an internet connection.


What he says is - IT IS ILLEGAL.

Because U are calling someone abroad without paying.
And as it goes thru a phone line, it will be considered as a phone call.
He says there is a rule about that in The Indian Post and Telegraph Act.
Is this true?

If this is true would'nt all the voice chats in our cyber cafes be illegal too?

I tried to tell him that we are paying for the broadband connection, but he is not convinced.

Well? Is it illegal?
Plz Help me out here people.

ThnX in ADV.

[kato]

ha ha ha haha joke first of all it ahs been posted in wrong place second its not illegal dude u r calling the supposed guy over internet and not through normal telephone line if u had a cable internet still u cud have used the service i mean skype so its not at all illegal

[arupch]

I am not able to get those 1600-424-1600 numbers. For me 4 days is enough to do 9 gb. Thats all I need to d/l a stuff which I wanted to do. My PC wont sleep till wednesday 12 midnight :p

[Charan]

I dont know if this has been told before, but any way here it goes.

I have a dataone connection at home, os - xp pro, with zonealarm as my firewall.I had a strange problem with checking my data usage using browser. the sites i visit is dataone.in, nad when i clicked the check usage link it used to redirect me to bsnl.co.in. Ok now i tried the addresses
http://10.240.43.216/webLogin.jsp
http://10.240.128.195/webLogin.jsp

Ok now i got the main page, i could login and log out but thats all. I could not check my usage. In the mean time i used shaplus to chk the BW. Ok it worked problem solved. But sometimes even that wdnt work. I got very frustrated when i codnt chk the BW for more than 5 days.Now some how i changes my Popup blocker to medium in zonealarms privacy settings.And guess what..... now i can chk my usage. The setting was to block all popups in Zonealarm , that was the reason i codnt chk my usage in the browser. I Double Chkd it and it was the reason.
If this has been posted before then im sorry , If not i think it will be useful for many.

[vijay_7287]

hey guys i used net from 7:30 to 8:05 today

and the dataone website says i used 87 mb

i downloaded a file then and it ended at 8:01

will this count in the final account

Speed 256 Kbps

the above is from the site
???????????????????????????

[QwertyManiac]

As Drgrudge already said, no monitoring of anythingbefore 8 and after 2 no matter waht it shows...

[vijay_7287]

so wat the site shows is wat is used from my comp and the stuff tht is being counted ????

then i wonder wats the use of that man !!!
drgrudge was right bsnl does suck in terms of customer service !!! :evil:

[chatterjeesayan]

Home 250 with unlimited usage.Is it possible?So,why are the other plans?Please let me know more.

If possible pls provide me the link of The Hindu website which says that BSNL is providing FREE downloads for Hme250.

Thanx in advance.

[QwertyManiac]

some buggy meter is doing that for thier online service but they atleaast have good meters for bill uses..


BSNL SUX BIG TIME but thier service is like water here coz none other good plans are vailable...!

[drgrudge]

@chatterjeesayan,
I cant look for you. But if you have the newspaper of Chennai edition, you can see for yourself.

[vijay_7287]

come on folks they made it pretty clear naa

"AS APPILICABLE TO OTHER PLANS"

that means they will enabling the unlimited thing from 2-8 am
for plan-250 also (which was previously not there )
thts it !!!

[VD17]

My total usage for September: 1.9GB... So accordingly, i should get charged an extra 1000 buck or so.
October:1.4GB... approx charge for the extra .4 should be 480 something.
+the rentals for two months.

Ok, now i got my phone bill for the past two months... the charge for september: 383.00 and for october: 450
i'm clueless.. but what the heck.. who cares as long as i get lower-than-usual bills... :D

[QwertyManiac]

u must have used the free-usage hours thats y the bill's low, else BSNL isnt a sparer :(

[desertwind]

u must have used the free-usage hours thats y the bill's low, else BSNL isnt a sparer :(

BSNL isn't a sparer for sure. I've got an extra usage bill of 3500 for october and 500 for september.

I calculated my usage manually which shows my usage (excluding happy hours) as some 800 MB for both october and november. And some mixed usages too, but that too wont count that much. I dont download anything bigger at paid usage hours. Only usual browsing. so the usage @ mixed hours may be some 200 or 300 MB at the max.

So i'm gonna give a complaint to my SDE tomorrow.

@drgrudge: will they provide a detailed usage bill on request ?

[vijay_7287]

do we have softwares tht can give a live count of the data transfer

the one at shaplus connects to dataone naaa
not like tht maybe something tht can be tweaked to count within the comp

and of course not count from 2-8am

[go4saket]

Well well well, got a lot of information after having a rough look through this complete thread. Now, as I just got my BB connection yesterday, I still have a few doubts... Plz help.

1. As I got my connection on 26th Nov, will my billing cycle of BB be 26 to 26 or will it be divided on pro rata basis and cycle will continue from 1st to 1st. I asked the same from the guy who came here for the connection and he said that its going to be 26 to 26, but I am not convinced.

2. Can I log on using some one else's user id and password. If yes, will the download size reflect in his account or still in my account. Moreover, what is the use of special telephone numbers then. By just using thir modem and anyones user id and password, you can have a BB connection for your self. Please clearify...

3. What is all about unlimited transfers for 250 Plan. As I have a 250 Plan, does that mean I can download any amount of data anytime...

Please guide...

[p_d5010]

I saw an add that dataone is providing free broadband internet for 60 days(no installation, rent, registration charges). Is it true or are there any hidden charges?

[yrana2002]

I think that there's nothing like unlimited downloading in this scheme. Maybe there are no rentals, but I guess the download limit is certainly applicable. See here http://bsnl.co.in/newsdetailed.php?news_id=250
They've mentioned the limit for 250plan as well.
But if this really works, where were you all guys when this thing started? Its probably late now.

[vijay_7287]

ya even i need that piece of info tht saket is askin for

i got my con on 26th

so how does the cycle go 1st to 1st

or 26th to 26th

my telephone bill cycle goes from 1st to 1st
if it is 1st to 1st then how will the usage charges for november be ....???

tht is the use for 4 days
can i use the full 1gb (i am plan-500)
or are there any restrictions???

[yrana2002]

Even i got the connection on 21 Sep, & i was charged full 500+ the modem charges. So,better get ready for some exclamation marks!!!!!!! :!: :!:

[vijay_7287]

@yrana2002:
where u charged the full 500 for sep itself or was it 21st sep to 21st oct ????

[go4saket]

Hello guys! I just got it confirmed from a BSNL officer here and according to him the billing cycle will always be from 1st to 1st. If we get a connection anywhere in between the month, the monthly rental as well as the download limit shall be divided on pro rata basis.

[KAI]

Ok I've a problem whenever I try to change the passowrd Internet Expl. shows the error page .

[vinu]

how to check the account in dataone broadband? how i know that i had used how much mb?

[yrana2002]

Suppose you get the connection at 21 of a month, you will definitely get the maximun limit benefit fort those 10 days, as you will be fully charged for that month!!
PS: Aren't we charged only for the data usage shown by shaplus on disabling mixed usage & free usage? :?

[sidewinder]

BSNL is giving a free trial of their dataone broadband fro a period of 60 days... No charges applied.Cant find a link in bsnl site but this is a calcuttetelephones site link.lTake a look

http://www.calcuttatelephones.com/broadfreeoffer/bbfreesave/freebbweb.html

Plz report me back if u guys find a bsnl site link..i'll edit my post.

[vijay_7287]

@drgrudge


Can you give me the headline of this day's newspaper's headline that said the cracking news.I'll search for it on the hindu website.Also please do mention the section where the report was published.

[vijay_7287]

why go through papers drgrudge did a copy/paste of that article and put it on his blog

see this : http://ashwinr.wordpress.com/2005/11/26/bsnl-dataone-unlimited-transfers-for-home-250/

[drgrudge]

Yeah, see the blog entry and see the comments (8 in total, I think).

[nishant_garg89]

i want a new bsnl broadband connection (rs. 250 plan)
please tell me the what new hardware i require, some card? some new modem(i hav 56k modem)
also tell the cost please

is that true bsnl is offering 60 days trial offer ?

[con_tester]

60 Day trial offer,,, Yepp thats true.
Modem cost 1200 for me if you buy that from BSNL.
56 kbps modem wont work.(Phew... everyone ask this question from me).
Usb port needed.
Ethernet port can also do the work.

I think this thread should go to general sections dataone sticky thread.
Still I m not reporting.

[Ravi+ish]

I knew all of that! Anything extra i would want to know is... can i get that modem from anywhere else? I mean for cheaper? And does BSNL support that kinda' stuff?

[con_tester]

Its clearly stated in their broadband application form that you can get modem from anywhere u like.But I think BSNL's Modem is cheaper than those available in market.
And BSNL support that stuff to.

[Choto Cheeta]

And BSNL support that stuff to.

now my modem malfucntioned 3 times... & they have change it 3 times without any cost...

what should i say this... their advantage or disadvantage??

as

+ point... yes.. they r supporting there product for sure...

- point... man 3 time?? & all those time i had to wait for few days (4 to 5) for the new modem to arive...

Yepp !!

Now that is really cool! I will definitely buy the modem from them on ur account. But, here my friends have it... and nothing went wrong with theirs. The only thing.... they were all from the BSNL too.

I will probably wait a few weeks more for the broadband. TELL YOU WHAT.... IT IS GONNA GET REAL CHEAP NOW!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yes its reliable.... coz its the official site of calcuttatelephones

[con_tester]

Does anyone know how to view your remaining data download limit for month.
Please explain step by step.
And also is it true that dataone's help system is in chinese?

[Baroon]

Only thing I would like to add here is that go for Home 500 plan (costing Rs. 500 / month). The reason being that Home 250 plan has only 400 MB of free traffic against 1GB of free traffic in Home 500 plan. Moreover there is no Night Unlimited available in Home 250 plan (from 2.00 - 8.00). :wink:

[vijay_7287]

well i c no probs with buyin a modem from outside ...

coz these guyz in my area say it will take 20 days for installation if i got the modem from them

so i got the modem from outside , it cost me 1800 bucks
but hey hang on ,
BSNL charges 1200 bucks and takes 500 for installation

so, u dont need any installation when u buy from outside coz they cant do it

if u buy outside go for d-link as it much more superior then its malaysian counterpart which BSNL offers (and gives a 1yr warranty , same as BSNL)

just a little tweak while installation will do ,

the default values of vpi and vci in d-link are 0 ,32 respectively ...
in pvc0 (ie in D-link)

go to advanced settings , under WAN settings change pvc0 to pvc3
ie in pppoE LLC only

and continue from there on

i assure u , there wont be a prob

if at all there is one u can always post back !!!!

[vijay_7287]

well thts kinda tricky ....

the stuff they put up on the website is the total data transfer

which includes stuff within the 2-8 am bracket

so i dont exactly know ,
maybe u should go about subtracting the data from 2-8 am from the total amount

anyways if u find one post back

here is the link to the dumb couting site
http://10.249.89.199/weblogin.jsp

[VD17]

dumb counting site... lol

[go4saket]

I have a home plan of BSNL BB. The problem is that if I am connected to the net, the data inflow and outflow continues even when I am not doing anything. Shouldn't there be no data flow if the computer is just left ideal without any work, just connected to the net?

[vijay_7287]

maybe there should be an interaction between the client and the server
to keep the con going

tht happens with everyone ...
and by the way the data transfer in ideal times is quite minuscule

remember the stuff shown in the con manager in bytes !!!

[QwertyManiac]

mebbe some background application is using ur BW so the u/l and d/l, use a Firewall and configure the net rights off all the apps ;)

[vijay_7287]

even if nothin runs there would be slight changes mind u

nothin to be concerned abt !!!

[VD17]

If you suspect that something is accessing the net and causing considerable amounts of data transfer, then you better get a firewall and check whats doing it. I have ZA and when i dont use the net, i generally engage the internet lock [when i'm too lazy to turn the damn modem off]. generally, u might have NAV's LiveUpdate or windows auto update doing stuff behind ur back. even wmplayer does it[when its running]. well, it depends upon ur softwares installed too.
