Thread: Bit more help with home 500C

with this BSNL service (home 500c or home 500c+) is there any limitation to online browsing also or is the limitation only to upload/download??

P.S is there any programme to connect the broadband at said times and disconnect at said times?? cause i wont be able to get up at 2 am and restart it
i can do that disconnecting part before 8 but sometimes i wont be able to do that also lol....

Yes there is any progrma for automatic connection and disconnection

Program Name is auto power on off

dont turn your pc off just put in hibernet mode

it will execute that particular file

H500C has a monthly data limit of 1.5GB and H500C+ has a monthly limit of 2.5GB.

Answering the second part of your query, how do u connect to internet? Do u dial? Or u just switch on the modem and start browsing?

see if u upload or dload during 8 a.m - 2 a.m then u will be charged.....or else if u dlaod from night 2am - 8am then u will not be charged

no actully i meant like streaming vids or something like that add up to my limit??

P.S i just switch on the modem to connect

In that case, u are on pppoe mode. If u are using just a PC to connect to the modem i would suggest that u change the connection to bridged mode. After switching to bridged mode, connection can be activated/deactivated using the RASDIAL commands and all of these can be made to work out with Windows scheduler.

Yup thats about it...auto pnwer on and shut down is a life saver for me...

ok and what about my limit will streaming vids eat up my days limit?

BUMP! will it eat up my limit if i stream vids, play online games etc...?

ummm.... u can try and make a new thread about it instead of posting it in mine >.<

P.S can some1 answer about my video question lol...??

Sorry... I am new to this forum..
I deleted it..

Every thing is counted my friend in the usage. Let me give you a list, which is not exhaustive by the way:

• Loading a web page
• Reading mail
• Downloading mail attachments
• Sending mail
• Uploading attachments to mail
• Visiting websites that upload information, e.g., login screens, bank queries, etc.
• Downloading files from websites
• Watching online movies
• Listening to internet radio or streaming music/media
• Watching You-tube or streaming video
• Torrents
• Text chats
• Voice calls from computer
• Video calls from computer
• etc.

Anything you do on the internet that exchanges bits and bytes from external network is counted in the usage limit which includes download + upload.

In fact, even when your connection is idle, the computer is exchanging raw bytes with the ISP server.

The only thing that is not counted is - if you have a LAN at home and you are exchanging files/data within the LAN (internal), this is not counted because it is not going to the internet.

Hope that this clears all doubts.

(0_o") and i was trying to change to home 500 lol.... i dont think i can live with that....i think ul 1350 would be better -.-" cause i keep my Router on and all laptops in my house go through the same connection so... the 2.5 GB wont even last for 2weeks -.-"

but still what will be the average bandwidth be used if the Router be on for like say 10 hrs or so... it will be just checking mails going on forums and loging into social websites and the downloading will be done at 2-8 am...

I cannot answer that question - it all depends on what you do. A typical web page (with graphics) is 20 KB. A forum page contains mostly text and should be 2-5K at most.

just4kix has given complete details. what is the problem/confusion? each and every data tranferred thru the connection count. still not clear?

its just that wana know whether the 2.5GB lasts for a month...cause im more of a video stremer, mails, social websites, downloads and forums....

if it dosent then got to think about UL 1350 or Home 1000 ( but dont even know if the 5GB will last hahahahaha....)

yes 2.5gb for 1 month.. usually not enough if you watch a lot of videos..

As superprash2003 said, it will not be enough. You are better off with UL plans. If you can afford it, go for UL1350+. If not, UL750+. But in UL750+, buffering will happen.

BSNL is misleading users by using word "free download".

Instead they should use word "bandwidth"
