India Broadband Forum

Hi friends, many times this matter is discussed in the forum it is better to solve it in single solution.

OK, this is for the information of the Forum Friends that a third party solution is available, please try : DUF (Dataone Usage Finder) :

What is DUF?

Dataone is a broadband Internet service Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.) offered by BSNL, a major ISP of India.. This service imposes an upload/download usage limit on its users. Usage between 2am and 8am is free, under certain schemes.
This makes it imperative for the users to keep an eye on their usage statistics. However, the BSNL website which provides these usage figures is not very useful, as any Dataone user will vouch.

Only the monthly total of the bandwidth used is provided. There is no provision for knowing the daily total. Also there is no demarcation between free time usage and paid time usage. These are the very figures a user would be most intersted in.

DUF (Dataone Usage Finder) is a very simple screen scraper program coded in VB6 (Yes guys, VB is still used!) which uses IE5 or higher, to fetch pages from the BSNL site, and after parsing out the required records, presents them in a manner which is more helpful. This data can also be saved as html files.

Please visit the link : http://duf.sourceforge.net/ and download the DUF utility
from : SourceForge.net: Files.

Install it and simply put your user ID and Password and forget for everything, you will get your second to second usage list and amount biiled (on this screen please select your plan).

I am sure this will really be useful for the users of Dataone users.

Best wishes...

SONIA.
