Till your plan is changed, you will be charged under 500 C. The limit is 1.5 GB
For 4 days, it will be 4/30 X 1.5 GB. 1 GB = 1028 MB. I think you have crossed the limit. Stop using until plan change is confirmed.

For April, you need to pay only Rs. 500. For May, you will get only the broken period.ie, you will not get full 1.5 GB and it will be charged even if you are moving to unlimited.

Try data.bsnl.in, Check the My orders and post the screen shot.

[QUOTE=meetdilip;149781]You need not pay Rs. 750.

If you used for 5 days,

5/30 X1.5 GB is the allowed usage. 1 GB = 1028 MB. It comes around 250 MB. So the bill will be

25/30 X 750 + Usage above 250 MB (@ 80 paise per MB).


its 625 + 3862 mb @0.80 = 625 + 3089 = 3714.6 rs.

whats the meaning then changing to the unlimited plan....

by the way thanks again for the useful information...i am going to take calm attacks on Bsnl from tomorrow as they are cheating the customer by this hidden trap discribe now where and never instructed to the customer at the time of changing plan...and the say changing plan charges are nill..its better to keep charge for that rather giving this huge bills !!

today, on 5th of may i call 1800-424-1600, the bsnl cc told me that my plan has been changed from 1/5/2009. "the effective date for ur plan change is 1/5/2009".
whats that mean? am i now in ul track?

the funny thing is that they dont know that the speed is 256kbps, when i asked them why i am still getting the same upto 2mbps speed, the bsnl cc told me that "the speed is same for all bsnl bb plans, that is minimum 256kbps, but upto 2mbps".
any idea frnds?

the data.bsnl.in site is super slow and its not opening even. i dont know why
the bsnl bb speed test shows -------
Your current bandwidth reading is: 1.19 Mbps

speedtest.net shows



so, friends plz tell me what shall i do ?

Speedtest.net is more reliable. Also try a download.com and check the speed.
Please wait till you see provisioned in your website. If you talked to a customer care person, he may not be reliable. Try a technical person.

for torrent i am getting 100-150 kbps right now. when i try to download some files from internet, the speed is max 30-35kbps.
and the data,bsnl.in still not opening

Try this http://bbservice.bsnl.in/. Also try to download from Microsoft and check the speed. I think you should start a new thread on speed issue.

1. bsnl plan change provisioned


2. bb usage for may-unbilled till 5th


3. bb usage for the month april-billed


so, what u think, can i now use net unlimitedly.

Yes. I think so

Try to change your browser.
Or
Try to check the browsing speed on any Live Linux like Knoppix.

i have just see my bill online which is dispeched and they didn't charge anything.........wow:w00t::w00t::w00t::28:

i think they might understand the problem ....of the delay is not customor's fault ..its there own fault...

I`m totally confused with this plan change and the billing thing..
I have a doubt. I applied for plan change from H250 to H500 on april 28. My status showed as open on May1 and future date on May3. It finally got provisioned on May5. And on 5th I download during free period and checked usage it showed 0. But today i did some downloading and checked the usage and it did not showed the usage and skipped usage between 2AM-8AM..Is there any prob as its not showing 0 as usage during free time? Also my plan got provisioned on May5 so how my billing will be done?

I know this is a long post but do help me..

Provisioned means changed. But always speak to a TECHNICAL person in BSNL to confirm it. BSNL do not update the portal on a regular basis. So most of us use a bandwidth meter. Click here to download. Please not this an independent software and works from the moment you install it. To be on safer side, check with the portal regularly and leave a gap of 50 MB.

Since chargeable unit is zero, your plan is changed. Is it only these time slots that the record does not appear. Normally expect a 2-3 days for the reading to appear. Also never trust the portal completely.

thanks for the reply. THere are no records of downloads between 2-8AM but after that its shpwing usage. I have spoken to that guy to whom I gave my application. He checked on his computer and said the plan has been changed. I`m just worried because according to your experience,meetdilip, u were charged Rs224 extra even when u had your plan changed to unlimited & only difference is yours was provisioned on Dec12 and mine on May5.None of ours plan change happened from 1st of the respective month..
Also the net chargeable units(MB) is the final right.?

What he said is he had activated your plan change. I believe he is in administrative section. And technical personnel take no responsibility for their words.

In your case, it seems ok. Still try a download at NON Night Unlimited period and wait for the result to be displayed.

dude thanks for the quick replies..
I think everything is fine coz it shows usage for non free period only and that too is very exact..For usage at free period it shows 0..

Always welcome

previously i was using 500c i requsted 2 change d plan...so they told dat plan was converted lo lower plan.. so how can i know dat whether my paln has got changed r not..

Please mention your intended plan. Try BSNL - Broadband Account Management or http://data.bsnl.in/wps/portal.

Use your 14 digit Portal ID and password to log in. Password is usually password. Under " My orders ", check effective date and Provisioned is the word for plan change.

You can recieve sms and email alerts when you cross your usage limit.

I have been previously using Home-250(annual) till the last month (April). I opted for the plan change and i went to to the BSNL office for the opted plan change(Combo 500C-annual) on 24th April. They told that the new plan will be effective from the 1st of May. As usual, the plan change did not happen from the may1. Believing that the plan would have changed i started downloading during the unlimited hours. The usage was upto approx.600MB till 6th may. From the 7th of may only, the usage was zero during the unlimited hours. Now, if i use upto the usage limit of 1524MB for this month(i.e approx.924 MB from 7 to 31st May), will i get the extra money to be paid for the excess usage of first three days? Can anyone help me...

Hi dilip,
I am using Home 250 Plan at present and I want to change the plan to Unlimited Plan. At present I am getting around 140 to 200 kbps speed with Home 250 plan. Shall I get the more speed around 1 mbps if I change the plan to unlimited?

Please provide your suggestions.

Sreeny

Unlike limited plans, unlimited plans give lower speed.

UL 750 - 256 Kbps or 32 KBps - Unlimited for Rs. 750 per month
UL 1350 - 512 Kbps or 64 KBps - Unlimited for Rs. 1350 per month

I use UL 750, which is quite useful and safe from billing issues. If you are a heavy downloader or intend to download movies and big files, Home 500, 500C or 500C+ will be a better choice. These plans provide the same up to 2 Mbps speed and has a night unlimited download facility.

Before plan change, please go throught these
