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?

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).

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

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.

[go4saket]

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...

[QwertyManiac]

scan ur PC for some infection mebbe a trojan/spy... and yes sometimes jus a few packets are inned and outted uselessly but only my ZA meter shows it and not the standard in/out meter...

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.

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...

Anyone using the Trial offer from Dataone broadband ?

Are there any charges or is it free?

[chatterjeesayan]

qwerty,please gimme the link where I can download the extension,*.xpi.It'll be helpful for me.

[Generic Superhero]

extended statusbar

[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:

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.

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)?

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.
