    The amount of international bandwidth India has is way more then the demand and its pretty cheap aswell.
    Its just that the isp's in India are making money while they can as there isint much competetion at the moment but once saturation begins in a couple of years they will start comming up with unlimited packages at throw away prices.

    With competetion I mean availability of number of isp's in one given area.

    Default Be Careful Guys ,,, BSNL thinks its users are fools

    Hi All,
    I just wanna warn you all (limited plan users) , BSNL thinks its users or customers are fools.

    Ask urself this question, why didnt they increase the speed of "unlimited" because then everyone will go for it and customer wud be the king. getting 2Mbps for 900 Rs , It wud have been a kill. But not so. heres why....

    What they are trying to do, is making the customer to reach his limit faster by 8 times, ( how much did they increase the limit ??) nOW WHEN HE reaches it and exceeds , ofcourse its more money for BSNL, and they will be making that .... how many times faster ,, exactly 8 times faster.
    Now i think you understand why they didnt increase the speed for unlimited plans.. :-)
    Nice marketting trick..

    Is it good for those who dont reach their limit, i.e 1GB , those who check their mails and do a chat occassionaly, well for them 256Kbps is good enuf, not for guys who plan to download big files, like movies, music, software.

    NJOYYYY

    check this for a nice calculation..

    2mbps = more than 700mb per hour..

    2-8 free.. 6 hours

    700*6 = 4200mb
    thats almost 4.2 gb!!! that takes two whole days to download on my friggin account! 48hrs at a go!!! n.. i pay 900 bucks!!! this isn't just a question of being fair or not.. this is just stupid! why do i pay 900??
    might be better of just using the 500 plan! if not for anything.. atleast if the unlimited users get 2mbps during 2-8.. it'll definitely be worth it..


    i cant digest the fact, that someone who pays less than me enjoys benifits that is not even offered to us.. n its not that 900bucks is nothing.. its pretty costly n the last i checked..it was still worth more than 500!!!

    i hope the telcom minister realises this.. or else.. he might just be loosing a lot of 900unlimited users..


    edit:.. is it possible to use someone elses account during the 2-8 period with his/her permission? is allowed?

    Not sure about here in India but in Uk one cant use anyone elses user id and pass coz the server recognises you with your phone number there and unfortunately I have a gut feeling that its the same in India aswell.
    Can some one who have tried this confirm for us?

    if the broadband connection is not port binded then
    the other's broadband account details work for us .

    Most of the BSNL unlimited broadband connections
    and many of the Home 500 plan connections are port
    binded . others cannot use the unlimited / home 500
    broadband accounts .

    Even if it works , it is not legal and considered as
    account hacking by BSNL ...

    Port binding : broadband connection works only thru
    the concerned phone number . it cannot be used thru
    other phone .

    well.. i just read the terms and conditions in the bsnl site.. nothing has been mentioned.. so.. i guess... its ok.. but.. getting the pass is a whole different story..

    i guess i'll have to wait untill they do something for us 900ul users :-(

    Default help BSNL 2Mbps

    the 2Mbps of BSNL is seen only in DAP.....not even in the speed tests. Why is it so?? all the speed tests show only a max speed of 658kbps while DAP downloads at 225kBps(ie kilo Bytes not bits) constantly. even the torrent clients cant achieve speeds anywhere near. at present it is doing only 32kBps just like in a 256kbps connection? what can i do??

    first.. ease of the downloads for a while.. download only between 2-8.. with 2mbps.. it takes 2hrs for u to max out ur download limit..

    now assuming that u download at 2-8.. here are a few things u should know..
    1. the speed test not giving accurate results is cuz of the fact that the servers r not exaclt closeby and can give wrong results..
    2. DAP uses the full bandwidth.. so.. thats why u'll get225k..
    3. Torrents depends on a lot of things for the download speed.. they include.. ur upload speed, ur blocked ports and the number of seeders and leechers there are.. if they are all favourable.. u could get arount 100-150KBps..

    enjoy ur awesome connection mate!

    BSNL reserves the right to disconnect the service
    to any customer in case there is sufficient evidence
    of the customer intentionally or unintentionally using
    the service in the manner which would adversaly
    impact BSNL or BSNL's network.

    The customer shall be responsible for using the service
    only for legal and appropriate purposes.
    However , one should look around neighborhood for
    a dataone 500 plan account user name & password .
    It should be a deal of mutual benifit ...

    Dear friends,

    I'm using 900 plan & from yesterday night I'm getting speed of 500 kbps. Has anyone experienced the same? since there is no up gradation in speed limit as bsnl mentioned.

    Regards,

    Nitin

    Probably the scheme has been started from 28/12/06 evening (I've noticed). I downloaded DOHOOM2 (670MB) from a torrent in just 1.5 HRS. Average speed was 133KB/Sec and the heighest was 213KB/Sec.
    But in the evening sometimes I experience that the download amount surprisingly decreases and comes down to 8KB/Sec. So there is lack of consistancy in speed. May be this is due to that the new setup has not been fully implemented or under testing phase. Let's see what's happen. But it is a big revolution in Indian information services.

    @ nitkol , some of the members on other community
    forums also noticed speed increase in UL 900 plans . Let us
    hope that BSNL increases the speed for unlimited connections
    by Jan 15th or by April 2007 (before the end of financial year) .

    @ callsamik , pls do not use all caps in posts .
    it is considered as shouting . pls edit your post .
    see : All_caps

    lol.. but.. i would say is to never be simultaneously online.. the mutual benifit thing makes sense.. anyhow.. its up to the ppl who r involved.. somehow now.. i've found closure with the whole proceedings.. cuz just a few months back.. i was a 64kbps unlimited user.. anyhow.. it doesn't meant that i feel its fair though..

    hey.. i've seen absolutely no change in my speed!.. infact! in the mornings.. it just got slower! hmmm.. lets see..
    anybody else seeing a rise in their speed?
