| Hi Everyone, I am finally planning to shift to BSNL broadband. I know some of the things i am asking here are discussed many times on many threads but I need some detailed answers here. BSNL users - PLZ help. 1) which plan would be best for heavy downloading? 2) is there an option of broadband connection without landline? 3) what are the changes in home 500 c and home 500 c+ plans from normal home 500 plan? 4) how much speed on average do people get in the night unlimited hours? 5) how much will be the average download in the night unlimited period? Will i be able to download about 5 gb in tha period everyday? 6) i see many users complaining about huge bills ... i am a bit worried becoz of this ... can downloading in the night unlimited hours almost daily be risky? 7) how much the bill eventually comes to be on home 500 plan if i dont cross the 2.5 gb limit? what are the additional costs apart from Rs.500? 8) What are these type 1,2 ... etc modems? Which modem should i choose and why? 9) How does Torrents perform on BSNL? is the speed slow? 10) How much time will it take to get a new connection? Whats the best way to apply!? |

| Amor vincit omnia | 1) H500 series plan is the best for heavy downloading 2) Some circles do provide such an option..checkout with your local exchange 3) New Page 3 and New Page 3 4) Most of the users are getting 180~210 kBps for torrent downloads and 210~230 kBps for direct http downloads. 5) I am able to clock 5.3GB every night during the free time. 6) Billing problems if raised can be solved with the help of the accounts officer for your telephone number. 7) I am charged 503/-. 3/- extra for educational cess. 8) New Page 3 9) BSNL has throttling techniques. Enabling encryption should work out fine.. 10) New connections are allocated according to the waiting list. If no waiting list is there for your exchange, u should be getting the connection within a week. |

| which plan are you using? home 500/c/c+ ? You said you are charged Rs.503/- What about the Fixed Monthly Charges for Telephone mentioned in the tariff chart? and the modem rental charges? Which variation of Home 500 plan do you suggest? The Landline phone usage will be minimal in my case. |

If your plan is Home 500 C+ then your bill will be 600+ 10% service tax =660 Rs(approx) (without usage and extra calls) Quote:

I am being billed according to One India Plan. I get a monthly quota of 50 free calls with a rental of 180/-. No modem rental charges as the modem was purchased outright. I am unsure whether we can select individual telephone plans while opting for broadband. I mean there exists many LL plans from BSNL. But i am not sure whether they can be coupled with a broadband connection enabled line. Fellow board members may answer that query.. | |

as i see u r in kolkata, i think u have to apply for phone 1st then go for bb, that what happens in saltlake exchng in kolkata(dunno if other exchng follows the same procedure or not, so better u confirm with ur local exchng) p.s. be sure to check the activation date of ur BB as they start considering the bill period from that day only, so if ur bb gets activated on 15th Mar, then they will start making the bill period from 15-15, & do expect a 1k-2k bill in 1st month becoz of lots of security & other deposits | |

Rep Power: 1 | All the questions are best answered by the forum members. I always used to be late to answer as I reach my place very late. I have 500C plan and get average d/l speed of 91 kB. I don't know anybody in my area using BSNL BB so don't have any idea of the speed in my area. What I am getting is sufficient for my use. I hardly do any heavy d/l unless needed. I got my connection about a year after applying though I got a landline connection. But one of my friend from Kolkatta got his connection within 3 working days. Kolkatta is the place where BSNL introduces anything 1st and the service is of top quality as per my friend. |
