Hello All,
I have bsnl dataone 750UL plan and I wanted to know which BSNL plan is better to watch the online streaming video continuously without a break.

I noticed youtube streaming faster but it stuck in between and restarts after sometime. I want to watch videos through streams in flv, divx etc.

Could you please suggest which bsnl plan should I migrate to?

Thanks & Regards
Devendra Dave

Home 500, 500 C or 500 C+ will be useful and economical. All of them provide speed up to 2 Mbps. You can still manage using UL 750. Take the video, pause it till the buffering is complete, watch after a few seconds.

For live streaming video, any limited usage/high speed plan is not suitable. You need to watch the live streaming there and then. While it is possible to download the streams overnight and watch them the next day, it is not very practical.

And if you start watching streams during the day time, your usage will jump up in no time and very soon you will use up all your allocated usage.

In my opinio, UL1350+ is the best for watching live streaming video, because:

a) it offers decent speed at 512 kbps (64 kB/s)
b) it offers unlimited usage
c) no landline charges
d) buffering may occur on obscure/less popular video servers but not something that you can live without.

The maximum speed of BSNL unlimited download so far is 512 kbps. I used such plan for three months last year but it is crappy. Then I used 500 c+ plan and I started download videos during night but sometimes I have to wake. There is a big problem in BSNL broadband is that it might get disconnected after few hours(maybe BSNL wants to cut download process while u r sleeping). It happened to me several times

But one day, I found that there is a braodband company called CONNECT in my state (perhaps it is my luck). I recently got connection of CONNECT Braodband plan 1111 UL. It runs 24/7 without cut. I am very happy about this

If u want to watch videos without break in case ur city has not CONNECT braodband (It is available in Punjab only) then Airtel plan 2222 UL is best (speed 1 mbps) but airtel is not available in my city.

Please note :

One hour of video streaming will consume around 100+ MB per hour.

It highly depends on video quality.

low quality low consumption.
high quality high consumption.

the high quality video sometimes consume 70+MB/10 minutes (I have had such experience)

Also, it depends on servers and distance too.
