@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 !!!

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...

[QwertyManiac]

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

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

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]

@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...-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!!!!
