Thread: Changing my currnt plan to Home 1000, Any ideas/suggestions? Please.

Hello All,
I'm currently BSNL UL 750 plan user. I wanted to change my plan to Home 1000 (I've read about it & loved it).. But, I'm not sure about it.
As it is BSNL, problems or bad facts should be there?

Any suggestions/ideas/precautions should I take?
If you want to suggest, then please!

I've read this thread.. named "Precautions during plan change"..
Anything else?

Regards,
~IS.

Please go through, compiled

Thanks Dude!
I'll be very careful this time.
Thanks!

I've read all..

I also want to change my plan from 500h to 500c , what all are prerequisite for this , and i want to know how the billing structure will work for my phone , by this statement i mean to ask my phone cycle and broadband cycle are different how they are going to manage this , my phone plan is one India plan should any advise for any wizards about my plan change

For me the precaution of download dose not hold , any other precaution ?

By the way, meetdilip,
I've heard that, If I want to use night unlimited.. I've to reboot my router at 2 AM & 8 AM also.. otherwise, it will be counted as normal.

Is that true?
What is about that>?

One more thing i would like to ask "When you change to a higher plan, you should pay one month's rent as advance" will this hold true for me?

yes its true, if you wont restart your router at 2.00 or 8.00 it will be counted as chargeable unit.

Yes. The start time and end time should be within 2.00 am and 8.00 am. You need to reboot or switch On and off your modem a little after 2.00 am and a little before 8.00 am. There is no need to stay awake. We can automate the whole process.

If you change on 5 th, till 5th you will be charged under previous plan and for next 25 days according to the new plan. You will not get full 1.5 GB or full 2.5 GB.

For 5 days 5/30 x 2.5 GB; next 25 days, 25/30 x 1.5 GB. Both cycles start from 1st of every month.

Thanks meetdilip!

You are great!

Always Welcome

Hi dilip what about the my question of" When you change to a higher plan, you should pay one month's rent as advance" will this hold true for me? and as my bill cycle for phone is bi monthly so my broadband billing will also be by monthly as i got my connection on 06-06-2009 and i haven't got my bill yet (this will be my first bill) .Any idea how much it will come if i wont cross my down load limits and my router is on rent.

Not sure. Please wait further comments.

As per BSNL website,

Advance Monthly Rental for BB : As per billing cycle (one Month /two months)

Source : Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.

I was asked to pay Rs. 750 as advance when I shifted to UL 750. My phone bill is monthly since I started using broadband.

meet,
In day time, If I only use it for surfing, watching videos, downloading youtube videos (of Small Sizes)... Will it exceed 5 GB at the end of the month?

One hour of surfing without video and audio streaming will cost around 20 MB. If you try video and audio, it will be somewhere around 100 - 150 MB. Hope it will give some idea.

5 GB is more than enough for domestic use.

Dude.. Thx for it.

By the way, can you tell me what will it costs me per MB, If I exceeded 5 GB limit?
Another Problem.. I'm unable to check my usage details. Currently my plan is UL 750.
Any idea?

Nah.. I checked everything..
1. Tried using bsnl sites.. It says your password is wrong, eventhough it is correct.

2. Tried using BSNL Broadband usage finder 1.3, isn't worked.

What should I do?

Just tried data.bsnl.in. It is working for me. Close the window and try again.

Install the bandwidth meter to avoid such situation.

Yeah.. Worked Now!
Maybe site problem. I know BSNL is so dumb.

Dude.. one question,
What amount the bandwidth meter shows, is that is the usage of mine?

Yes. Usage from the moment you install it. The value may vary a bit from BSNL site. Make sure you counter check it BSNL portal at regular intervals.

Dude.. Here it says.. Download/Upload limit per month.. 5 GB for Home 100 plan.. Look..

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.

So, Does it means.. it is total limit means, Download+Upload=5 GB..

It is Download + Upload=5 GB

Go to data.bsnl.in and counter check the system time with the website time.

Man, This is kinda boar.
Down+Up=5GB.. had to maintain my surfing!

BTW.. I read one thread about the BSNL's time.. & got that.. it is settled to IST.
Mate.. Any other suggestion?

You can download during night unlimited. 5 GB means a lot. Many of our users manage with just 2.5 GB per month and download up to 40 GB during night unlimited. Use schedulers and automate the download.

Yeah. I'll download at night.
Dude.. Is their any tutorial/thread based on uTorrent/BitTorrent schedulers..?
If there are any, please link them to me!
I've not used schedulers before.. :ninja:

Dude.. I know there is a limit of 5 GB. So, When I surf the internet, watches videos.. the shaMeter shows a drastical increase.. Only 4-5 videos take me upto 60-70 MBs usage! Thats very strange.. Ok, I'll go for that!

you could leave utorrent on always. but schedule it to download/upload only between 2 and 8am , i think they have a scheduler built-in..
