Thread: Modem Downloads data even after the coputer shuts down...

1) some users have reported saying bsnl automatically disconnects you at around 8 .. cant confirm this though.. to be safe , disconnect at 7:55 itself
2 or 3 can be used
4)well it depends what you have downloaded...

@sundeep_sarathy and other newcomers

1.You cannot post a link here. ( till `15 posts)

2.But you can post it as Annexure here.
Click "Go Advanced" option.

2a.Another advantage all are saved in your own folder, which you can refer or post again / or delete .
Deleting it, whether removes from the thread,will confirm later.
2b.My folder here, shows about 2.13MB storage 50 annexures. ( LIMIT I will get warning later !)

3.Annex screen shot preferably JPG ( Not BMP) picture
of usage data during the date/period in question.

4.Another method is to give link as hxxp:

5.To avoid heavy billing etc , you are advised to
switch off modem manually or by scheduler at about
0155Am or earlier say 1030 PM( Usage meter also gets some sleep from your account !)
and then restart at 0205 AM.
Again switch off at say 0755/0800/AM.

6. Some have reported starting modem at 0755 and signing off at 0825 ( 30 minute block ) usage does not count.
I cannot test as I am on Home 250Plan.

7.Specially during the transition period 30 minutes block
readings were reported.

Para two:
Imagine: if only the usage meter is switched off for all around 2AM and started again say at 0201, the loss of
due to Non Usage accts will be say 30lakhs users x min 1MB/min= ( my maths poor calculate !) Rs 25lakhs x30days 7.5crores x 12months = 90 crores/year approx
0200 AM.

Para three.
Probably usage meter software has to be upgraded , to stop recording at exactly 2AM for NU accts. and restart at 8AM and avoid all confusion/overbilling / wrong billing
etc.
Airtel usage portal does it. I don't get any details of my NU 0900PM to 0800AM( old user) It was metered, and after strong objection from me and 10 emails, they have programmed my acct not to show my NU usage . seems still recorded.
