Hi All,

I am currently using Alliance broadband (thru cable) and I get dwnload speed of 35-40 KBps avrg but I ahve to shell out Rs. 770 pm for 384 Kbps plan.

I download movies/software/videos all most evry night but I think in terms of download speed I am loosing out.

I wish to move to BSNL.

Which will be the best plan for me in BSNL BB?

I had zeroed on 750 UL (its still on 500 promo offer) but I dnt knw if it gives the speed from 256kbps - 2mbps.

500C+ gives 256kbps-2mbps but its download is limited to 2.5Gb.

Please suggest which will be good for me

Cheers,
Roy

I use UL 750, the maximum speed will be 256 kbps. Expect a speed between 25-28 KBps

500c is the best,175 calls free,2 to 8 am free,1.5gb day time.

500 C and 500 C + gives you Night Unlimited (0200-0800 Hrs). You can download as much as you want during this period. The speed is much higher than UL 750 and much popular among downloaders.

So if you want to download more than any other use, go for 500 C or 500 C+.
UL 750 puts you on a safer side on billing issues and download limits.

500C+ gives max 2mbps line but 2am-8am region..wont that be too risky if by chance u cross it - cross it and u r neck deep in HUGE BILL!!!

if u can suggest in any way, if there is any way i can make my download to start after 2am and the computer will automatically shutdown before 8am? please suggest!

I am confused about 500C+ plan, coz the landline has "one India plan".

If I'm right, under one india plan all calls are of 1 min pulse and cost Re.1 , as opposed to general plan under which calls are of 2/3 minute pulse and cost Rs1.20.

So this would work out to be costly for heavy phone users.

You can check plans and modems others use, and how long they are using it here

How old is your connection?

utorrent 1.8.2 has a scheduler facility. Here are the details

The scheduler is used to control µTorrent during certain times of the day on certain days of the week. With the scheduler, it is possible to tell µTorrent to stop torrent jobs, use a different bandwidth limit, or stop downloading entirely during specified times.

Enable Scheduler will enable the scheduler if checked.

Scheduler Table
Each square in this table represents each hour in each day of each week. You can change the color by left-clicking on a box. It cycles through dark green, light green, white, and light red. Left-click-dragging will cause all time blocks that the mouse passes over to change to the new color.
Full Speed occurs during the time periods where the scheduler table is colored dark green. During these time slots, µTorrent will adhere to the normal global upload and global download rate limits.
Limited occurs during the time periods where the scheduler table is colored light green. During these time slots, µTorrent will adhere to the upload and download rate limits specified in the Scheduler Settings. Because the settings affect global rate limits, forced torrent jobs are affected during these time slots.
Turn off occurs during the time periods where the scheduler table is colored white. During these time slots, µTorrent will stop any unforced torrent jobs.
Seeding only occurs during the time periods where the scheduler table is colored light red. During these time slots, µTorrent will cause unforced torrent jobs to stop downloading, though they will continue to upload data. Forced torrent jobs will continue downloading during these time slots.
Scheduler Settings
The Limited upload rate field sets the global maximum upload rate that all torrent jobs should follow when operating under Limited mode. Other than the context in which it is active, this upload rate limit behaves exactly like the global maximum upload rate. Leaving the field blank is equivalent to setting it to unlimited. This value is interpreted in KiB/s, so please enter it as such.
The Limited download rate field sets the global maximum download rate that all torrent jobs should follow when operating under Limited mode. Other than the context in which it is active, this download rate limit behaves exactly like the global maximum download rate. Leaving the field blank is equivalent to setting it to unlimited. This value is interpreted in KiB/s, so please enter it as such.
Disable DHT when turning off disables DHT when the scheduler is operating under Turn off mode.


consider 500 plans

Never experienced myself. I use them without any trouble
