Hi Friends,
I Have a 500C+ Home plan. On 17th August I was facing problems with the connection and got connected after many attempts. I had set up scheduler to download after 2:05AM (i.e 18th August). Working late into the night while being online , I fell asleep at about three and the downloads had begun at 2:05 as set by the scheduler. I had download over 2Gb of stuff during the night till morning about 5:00AM . Today when I was doing a routine check on data.bsnl i observed that for that particular day I have been metered for the 2 GB of usage.

I have screenshots and download records of download begin times from my download manager to attest my claim.

Please advise how I should proceed. I am from Bangalore.

Talk to the Senior Divisional Engineer (SDE) and report your problem. If it doesn't work, you may also send your written complaint to the Nodal officer and Appellate authority. You will find their address and phone no on the backside of your bill. For SDE's no talk to the customer care/ local exchange.

Nothing new with BSNL. They do such mistakes frequently.

MTNL is doing better.

Have you mailed your complaint to BSNL Customer Care?

Why are the row 6 and 10 charged 0?

Unlimited plan will be better..

The start and end time must be between 2.00 am and 8.00 am. Otherwise you will be charged. You can automate this process. Try this

http://imran-utilities.synthasite.com/

This software can automatically reboot your modem at a little after 2.00 am and a little before 8.00 am.

is your connection with 59 series IP or 117 IP?
normally at present at least for 117 IP BSNL breaks the session at change-over period using a 30 minute block. not sure for 59 IP.

Please contact the Accounts Officer at the exchange on receipt of the bill.

jagzviruz

mine is a 117 IP ..
