Thread: Important info for first month BB users.

Hi All,
May be u ppl are smart.. but still i want to share this info.
If u r a new BB user and u got the connection.say.. by 10th of march.. and u would download 2.5GB(for H500) and u may think that u would get billed for rent500+extra things.... Well.. But its really not like that.

they are calculating in the following method..

Rental = 20 *(500/30)
Download = 20 * (2.5GB/30)

So u would get billed for the remaining usage... i.e 2.5 - (20*(2.5GB/30))
So be careful guys...

hey..nice piece of info!!!
i always thought that even if you get your connection on the 25th.. you still would get 2.5gb for the 5 days..

hai friends

thx

500C plan = 2.5GB + no free calls
500C+ = 1.5GB + 100 free calls

I joined on 2nd January 2008, and I knew from the first bill this method.

Mistake above

Correction

HOME 500 = 2.5GB + no calls =500(+modemcharges)
HOME 500C = 1.5GB + 100 calls =500(+modemcharges)
HOME 500C+ = 2.5GB + 100 calls =600(+modemcharges)

That's how they calculate when the customer has to pay the extra usage but when it comes to calculating amount where when they have to shell out extra payment, they will calculate it in their favor and that's how they charged me the full Rs. 900 plan when i changed it to Rs. 500 plan at the middle of the month but they charged Rs. 900 for the whole month but my plan was changed to 500 plan in the middle!

if u convert from h500 to UL900.. still they will bill it for UL900.. they will always focus on higher package...

I am skeptical abt the formula u posted in the very first page..........lets assume i go the connection by 10th of march........then coz of some reasons i am not able to access the BB upto 30 th......in that case (assuming 500 plan)......i can download the whole Bandwidth alloted to me i.e. 2.5 gb......when i got my BB in july 06, i thought the same way as urs...but after a meeting with the DGM of our area, he told me that, use can download the whole limited alloted to him in any single day of month.

i have charged for 24 days.. 356Rs & 2.1GB only... i paid 50Rs for remaining usage..

same here.i was billed for 3 day usage with (2560/30)=85MB per day or total limit of 255MB with bill of (500/30)=16.67 or Rs.50 for connection from 29-31 dec.

logik,if you get the connection on 10th of month then by that account your limit for remaining month will be 20*(total limit for a month/30).you can then use this much limit in a single day(say last day of month) but you will not get the full 1 month limit.also your bill too will be 20*(plan bill for a month/30).

I asked abt the same thing to my Local SDE, & guess what? hes not having any idea about what i am talking........lol. I think u guys are rite.

Slight corrections as per the BSNL link :-

HOME 500C = 1.5GB + 175 calls =500 (+modem charges)
HOME 500C+ = 2.5GB + 50 calls = 600 (+modem charges)

I think that's it unless they've changed the plans and not updated the site.

hi arun i am new to all these things pls dont mind my ignorance .

i got my bsnl bb connection very recently 18 days 500c+ they said 2.5 gb & 2-8 unlimited , so i went on downloading many songs , ebooks, videos etc ONLY IN BETWEEN 2-8 , but my frnd told me that i'll get my bill in thousands as he believes that bsnl people will fake some of my dwn loads into non free time & send me very huge bill .

plz plz help me on this , do they count in this period also (2-8 am) . i am vey much worried plz help

if in your plan 2-8AM is free then the only case in which you can be billed for that is if your download/upload begins before 2AM according to bsnl's server time.that's why regularly check your usage at bsnl portal & see that the timing of your downloads is after 2AM according to the portal.however it is also important that you must disconnect/reconnect at 2:05AM or restart the modem at 2:05AM to be safe.read my post & you will understand--

Very important:-

1:-Always sync your PC time with a good time server,

2:-preferably reboot your PC at 2:00,in that way you'll disconnect and reconnect automatically(put your dialer at start up if want to autoconnect,use dialer settings in your connection to autoconnect without asking for password)

3:-Use any good tool(like power shutdown) to disconnect modem or reboot your PC before 8:00 to avoid access download.
