Hi, Perhaps you have not read this thread carefully and looked at the poll results. You will observe that you will get 256 kbps or 32 KB/s (max) from UL750 plan.

UL750 plan is not good for downloading tons of data (in GB). It is meant for low to medium downloading, all day long, without worrying about bills.

Whatever modem you use... U won't get speed greater than what u were getting... i.e., 250 KBps if u choose 2MBps plan... A good modem can help u in good signal over larger area if u use wi-fi... A good modem can help u in stable connection... But maximum speed depends upon the plan of your ISP u've chosen...

U won't get more than 32 KBps in 750UL plan... As Just4Kix suggested, its good for light n medium downlaoding only... Its good if u do voice & video chats all time... Its good to watch videos from Youtube anytime.... Plus if u want to download more.. U'll have to put ur PC on 24*7....

But if u are a download junkie, then opt for 500 night UL plan.... and avoid using bandwidth in day-time...

@frens4ravi,

A lot of questions. First a clarification. Do you mean LINKSYS modem? Because I have never heard of linsky.

Be it as it may, your new modem is not going to help you speed up your downloads. It is just a device to connect to the ISP. Speed depends upon the plan and the plan only.

You are mentioning kbps. Note that kbps denotes kilo bits per second whereas kBps denotes kilo bytes per second.

- with a UL750 plan, you get 256 kbps or 32 kBps max.
- with the Home 500 plan, you get a speed from 256 kbps (32 kBps) and anthing up to 2048 kbps (256 kBps).

Finally, whether you need a phone or not, whether you need free calls or not, that is irrelevant. BSNL provides BB via telephone cables. A fixed line with telephone is given to you. You cannot return it and say "transfer voice credit to my BB credit" or something like that. Whether you use the telephone or not, is your choice.

Also please confirm whether your new modem is an ADSL2+ modem/router or just a plain router. Mention its model number. In all probability it is just a router. In that case you will still require the BSNL modem.

Refer to the various guides in Broadband How to section.

some times they will shock u even when you night out on 500/500c plans. Then there is nothing to rescue us.Alas! We Poor INDIANS!!

Thats not possible... U've to opt for BSNL landline connection to use their broadband... What you can do is that u can deactivate the outgoing calls facility to reduce ur rental... Then ur rental for phone will be approx. Rs.140 monthly including taxes... But then u won't be able to make any calls...

Broadband charges/rental will be additional....

just4kix

If one opts for UL750+ or Home Combo plans then landline rent is waived off anyway.

thank you..
i had the bsnl bb connection before at home..
i m having that dataone modem...
i need to conect linksky modem to talk abroad....
apart from this i also need downloads in bulks...
so i wil go for UL plan...
wat is the difference betwen this 759UL and 750ULplus...

itsmemad

Ok.. Thats great... I still have to get my first 2 months bill (Aug, Sept)... Since long I have only incoming facility... so it was Rs. 140 only...

@frns4ravi

Deactivate outgoing if u r concerned about phone misuse... this way u'll get only broadband charges...
