Thread: BSNL H500 plan with 2.5 GB download

Hi,

Its been 18 days I have taken BSNL H500 plan with 2.5 GB download and if it exceeds 2.5 GB, for every MB 0.80 paise is charged.

I want know in this plan, how many hours I can browse daily/monthly OR is it the browsing is unlimited and gets charged only for the download if in exceed 2.5 GB?

Regards,
Ram

browsing also counts as downloading when open a site u send data and when site opens u receive data so browsing also counts as data exchange and not only downloading but uploading is also chargeable.

Have a look here: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.

Specifically:

13. What is download/upload?
A. When the information flows from somewhere e.g. a web-page or a site to your PC you are “downloading” on the other hand when you send information e.g. request for a web-page, you are “uploading”

33. What all can I do with 1 GB(Giga Byte) download?
A. One GB is 1024 Megabyte or 1073741824 bytes. You can do the following with 1 GB download limit :

1. An average web page is about 50 kilobytes in size - so you could download around 20,000 web pages for 1 gigabyte.
2. An hour of surfing the web would be around 10 megabytes (200 pages) so you could surf non-stop for about 100 hours for 1 gigabyte.
3. An hour of streamed radio would use about 15-20 megabytes.
4. An hour of streamed video uses around 100-150 megabytes.
5. Playing an online game typically uses about 10-15 megabytes per hour.
6. Emails are very small - so 100 emails would be just 1 megabyte - or 100,000 emails for 1 gigabyte! (of course the attachments count extra)
7. A super-high resolution (5-6 megapixel) digital camera JPEG picture or typical MP3 music file is about 2-3 megabytes so you could download 350-500 of these images/music files for 1 gigabyte.

Very few users would actually exceed the download limits set.

BSNL do not charge you according to time, it is download + upload. When we browse, we consume around 20 MB per hour. If you browse videos or audio, it will be around 100 - 150 MB. Most of use a bandwidth meter to keep track of our usage. Try this
