@Logik,

First a request. Would you please stay away from SMS like language? It is difficult for "oldies" like me to understand the same.

To answer your doubt:

a) BSNL does not send encrypted signals.

b) Most BSNL broadband connections are port binded, i.e., the username is linked to the phone number. So it is not possible to access your connection from a different phone number; even by yourself; even if at the same residence/office.

Well, The BSNL connections are not port binded all over India. So there is a chance that at such places (where there is no port-binding) someone can use your login id and password to surf the net. All that person needs is an ADSL modem and a PC.

This is what he means by password theft and over billing.

Download managers can help you in restarting where you left of earlier.

But on the whole, it is better to stay away from limited plans if you are a heavy downloader.

All the best for your Class XII exams.
Hi Bro.. why should we reset the modem to get the night unlimited download? Its already mentioned in the plan.. rite??

Beats me. But that is the way it is. I have UL900 plan so I have no idea.

But it seems that to get Unlimited options for other plans we are required to start a new session during that period (2 AM to 8 AM). Apparently if an already open session started before 2 AM continues in the free period, the free period option is not realized and the entire session's download is considered for the non-free time.

On the same basis, it could be argued that a session started between 2 AM to 8 AM and continuing beyond 8 AM should be considered as free.

This is all speculative and no one wants to take a chance.

Hence it is highly advisable to shutdown the modem before 2 AM and restart it after 2 AM (and then again shut it off before 8 AM). This is just making double sure that you are not taking risks.

can anyone enlighten me??

sorry for going offtopic
hello logik,
u r wrong,any BB user can use any password within that circle(like sancharnet) if the DSLAM in the exchange is not port binded(do u understand),if it is port binded then ur password will work with ur line only(like netone),so don't leak password to any body,if already leaked then immediately change ur password in BSNL NIB-II PORTAL

thanks to just4kix as he explained the kbps fundas to me.

so by calculation i think i will get around 25 KBps which is not so impressive (to me).

and secondly the time of unlimited download is really absurd to me because i am a class 12th student i have to got to sleep by 11 or 12 pm to wake up early next morning.

and thirdly who will reset the the modem at 2 am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry friend u misunderstood me
its 200-300 kBps i din't make any mistake
i have downloaded 15 GB in 8 days in free hours iam getting a movie of 700 MB in just 2 hrs.
at the time of 0200 u will get good speed why because traffic is less at ur DSLAM,so keep a scheduler will help u better,

@just4kix,
i will advice u in tis topic,

1.download "free download manager ", u can get it in net @free

2. in FDM u can schedule connection at any time,and u can schedule download urls in FDM

u can download any thing without waking up at 2:00 am (and even for switching on the system),i will tell how can we switch on system automatically,

3.go to bias setting(by clicking DEL key at startup)->power management settings-> in that u can see time setting to switch on system automatically.

4. set the time as 02:05 in bias settings,

5. just schedule a connection at 02:10(5 mins for bootig) in FDM, and schedule a download link(ex. a movie url) at 02:12,thats all

6. all u have to do is just shutdown ur system(at the time of sleeping disconnect the active connection) don't turn off main switch,and keep modem
switch on,

what will happen:
first at 02:05 system will switch on automatically
second at 02:10 connection is established by FDM
third at 02:12 starts downloading... thats all

give ur responce if u like this post yaar,
