Hi Shajul

Thanks for the software for Dataone night unlimited users. But before I try this software, I have a question. IP address of my modem is stored on the modem itself and so even when my computer is switched off, the boradbans remains always connected till I switch off the modem.

In such case also would this software work and will it be useful?

Thanks

Hi dc_vinoth,

I am also facing the same problem of excessive billing by BSNL for bband usage during nightunlimited plan. Can you please tell me how did you resolve this issue with BSNL to get your bill revised?

Thanks

Please open a new thread for answers.Don't repeat the "QUOTE"

shajul, first of all great work! i didnt know such a problem existed until i read your post...

here are my suggestions to make your software even more useful.

1. make the IP address changeable.
2. instead of hard coding the time (connecting at 2 AM, disconnecting it at 8 AM),
let the user decide upon the time to connect and disconnect. The reasons are:

a. hard coding it exactly as 2 AM is a bit risky because we cannot see BSNL's clock. so 2:00 on my computer could actually be 1:55 for BSNL which means i will be charged for the bytes .
the same argument can be made for the disconnection time too. and what if i want to connect at 4 AM only, eh?

b. the s/w can be made more useful. ppl can use it for scheduled downloads.

i used your software yesterday and i slept well .i have plan 500C at home now see the result.i lost 180 MB FROM my free 1500MB.IN KERALA they will charge you if you connect even seconds before 2AM
AS you have given in documentation your s/re disconnected at 1 .57 but bsnl counted from 1.57 ,(when it was connected again ) to 2.27 thats their ,say ,one pulse or interval ,and they counted the downloaded data,i will sent the sceen shot then this problem will be obvious.

i had this problem every month and when i complainted ,nothing happened .there is some problem with their internal system clock.
even if you connect at sharp 2.am say IST ,you will be counted,so i used to connect at 2.05 am then no problem.
there is some 2 or 3 minutes diff in their clock

i lost 180 mb , surely this is not a great loss ,but still what your software claim is wrong
i have a little suggestion change the time setting from 2.05 AM to 7.57 AM.
This is the ' safe period' for BSNL .No problem during this time

TRY.
set your computer clock 5 or 10 minutes slow !
presume d/l till 0805/0810 ( as per correct time )
will not be counted .
The usage meter reads in block of 30 minutes.
(during change over time/s.???)
For instance if you start at 0755 and end at 0850
your usage 0755 to 0825 will not be counted.
You may get two sessions. ( this is a reported "BUG")
0755 - 0825 and 0825 -0850.
test with a small file or just surf.

sreejithviswam

i will try and will inform the results

ps:thanks for the reply..i have experienced the bug you reported,infact the BSNL section told me about that,but not as a bug

essbebe

Reset your computer clock late by say 7 minutes.
Then when correct time is 0200 for you PGM D/L will not start it will start at 0207.
When correct time is 0800 it will not end will end at 0807 !
( usage 0800-0807 correct time will not count ).

When your tariff plan is NU free 0200-0800 , if the usage meter is not
programmed to note this fact and works with 30 minutes block as usual it is called a "BUG". Programmer has to change the instructions.
If Tariff plan is home 500.
stop usage count at 0200 restart new block at 0200 else
continue . or settings to this effect.
IN Airtel, my NU is not shown.

Thanks , lemme check it

If I am downloading a movie or something around 1:30 AM - which showing downloading remaining time an hour and above - will it continue after automatic switching on(or disconnecting) and reconnecting?

All downloading sites are not allowing pausing the download. What will the DataOne manager do?

manojsbhat

i dunno wat to with this software .please help in detail.my place is mysore karnataka n my modem is ut300r2u

essbebe

@manojsbhat.
This program is for automating downloads during
Night usage Free allowed during 0200-0800AM. ( Home 500 etc )
If your tariff plan is UL750 unlimited etc , no need for this software.

bijeshn

the problem is with your clock.... try syncing your your clock with time.nist.gov. you can start your session at 2:00 and stop at 8:00. there wont be any problem.. i have been doing that for quite sometime now.

ghoshprannoy

are u sure if i use dial up at 2 30 am,but keeping modem on from 10 pm it will be counted as free
