    Default Combo 599 plan suggestion needed

    Have anybody in Bangalore taken combo 599 plan(4 Gb limit and 100 free call)
    What is the speed(average, most of the time,some times) it promises 512kbps.
    Or are you able to use Skype without break in application?

    regards

    I do not used it but 512 Kbps is enough to run all applications at a time.
    As in broadband connecting time is very less and if you ever get disconnected, you will again get connected in next 2 sec.

    my speed is DL~400kbps, and UP <10kbps. initially i had the problem with SKYPE like frequent breaking, other party not getting the Video.(tested with Audit my PC .com)

    But fast 5 days it is OK there is no problem with skype usage.now it is 112 and 255 kpbs.

    Para two:
    Start system. Connect only to SKYPE.
    have conversation for say about 15 minutes.
    switch off modem/system.
    Start system again after an hour.
    and surf normally.
    ( this is to ensure that Bsnl usage

    Please Check Data usage for SKYPE for 15 minutes next day.

    Essbebe,
    You are right, there is a catch the download is upto 4Mb there is no night unlimited as BSNL claims night unlimited free download , I confirmed checking with usage every thing is charged.

    BSNL site is not updated about this Combo 599 plan,
    here is link to know the plan
    //indiafascinates.com/bsnl/bsnl-broadband-combo-limited-plan/

    People should beware of offers by any ISP, There is NO NIGHT UNLIMITED FREE USAGE AT 2.00 TO 8.00 AM. FOR THE PLAN CAMBO 599/ 749,SPEED CAMBO 1111/2799/4999/8999.
