BSNL Broadband Woes

Three of my friends have received extremely inflated bills this week. Most of them are just planning to surrender the phone as well as the broadband connection. Looks like the time of cheap broadband has still not arrived. Unless you have to just check your mails and chat with your friends. A task which does not even require a broadband connection!

I am using BSNL broadband service for last 6 months.After looking at the
comments on broadband service provided by bsnl,I felt really bad for bsnl.
I registered for 500 plan and downloaded data size per month will be between 30 GB to 50 Gb.The download transfer rate was always between 180 KB/s -- 210 KB/s(though never 256 KB/s(2Mb/s)) and it takes nearly 1 hr to download a 700 mb cd iso file. I always monitor data usage in bsnl website and never experienced any miscalculation.I just posted this comment to make new customers of BB service not horrified looking at
the comments here and things are not same everywhere.I recommend
anyone to try BSNL BB service first before any other service.Except some ( 1- 3 times per day) glitches like disconnecting during downloading - can be managed using a download manager application - and not so technically
sound but cordial customer care executies the service is great and can be given a try.

can any body help me i have 250 plan i want dawnloaded more than 1 gb without paying jaggifzr@yahoo.com

how should i know on net htat how much i have downloaded till now?please describe in brief

go to http//dataone.in
there u will see dataone account administration
click there and enter ur user id and password

BSNL broadband may have other problem, like it is not easy to get, less information at exchanges and so on. But my in-laws are using it for more that 2 years on Rs 250/1GB plan and has never got overbilled, because only time they use is when we talk on skype/yahoo. So your bill is according to your usage. If you are a heavy user, then go for unlimited plan and your bill will never go above that pre defined rate.
Thx.

I have BSNL 2mbps broadband plan against Rs 1200 p.m. I am always getting 2 mbps. But, as result of which, my download limit used to exceed the limit prescribed by BSNL ie 8gb and I had to pay 0.80 per MB resulting in heavy loss to me. Now, I want a solution for reducing the speed of this plan by 512 kbps. Will it be possible?

I am a heavy downloader on the net but i only get a max of 30 kb/s download limit. I reside in Hyderabad(Andhra Pradesh). I was thinking till date this is the max limit BSNL broadband supports but few days back i downloaded few files using a BSNL Broadband connection in Latur(Maharashtra). I was surprised to get 150 kb/s speed. I think there is some issue with my connection settings which is restricting me for a low download limit. Anybody if have a solution please let me know at prashanthgajra@gmail.com.

The bsnl is providing the broadband service with its lowest plan of Rs. 125/- but this is the trick of internet provider to just earn a lot from this short plan. This is because they are counting the pages which are opened during surfing as download and thus it adds a lot in the rental billing.
Friends I don't think that a person who is using the broadband facility will only download 150mb data. Thus the download goes on increasing and thus one has to finally remove the connection saying BSNL is a froad ......

hey pals.. see every company is working for its own profits.. even bsnl.. but i still feel its way better than any other broadband service provider in my city.. i live in jammu , J&K.. and i an using home 1350 unlimited plan.. earlier it was home 750 unlimited.. i never faced any problem with their commitment.. i am a heavy user of bandwidt. and i download gbs of data everyday.. mostly movies.. and i never got speed below 50-60 KBs anytime of the day.. which gives me an option to download around 4.5-4.8 GBs of data everyday... i have downloaded several blueray movies also... also my office plan of business2000 is contineously giving me a speed of around 210 KBs as i guess 8Mbs infrastructure is not yet set in here in my city... anyways i am still craving for more.. as my recent visit to australia shown me a net connection of 15 MBs on wireless and 25MBs on fixed lines.... and that also with a limit of 120 GBs for just around 1000 Indian rupees... man i really wish i could also get the same speed in my city ever.... thanks....

i had Home-500 plan till june 08 but recently i switched to Home 750 UL...
i got my tel bill as 5000 rupees for the month of june...i checked my usage all seems to be in place excepth that i was not at home in june and nobody used the internet for that month..starnge...i complained to bsnl...in vain. What other method can i resort to?
mail me: sadistic_000@rediffmail.com
P.S speed in home 750 really sucks. used to get 400kbps with home 500.

the thing is (its fully my opinion and its not under the knife/gun threat) BSNL is wierd, i used BSNL for exactly 2 3 weeks. i was using vsnl, the service of vsnl sucked then back in 2004, then i switched to bsnl after 4-5 months of waiting. by then the erection for BSNL has pacified, then i switched back to VSNL, atleast a sort of working connection is better than sucking thumb and doing a nice wank atleast. then i disconnected VSNL and i got myself an airtel connection. things are fine since 2005 till date. just that my uncle asked me which broadband connection should he go for? BSNL or Bharti no Sify (they are extremely frustrated with sify and claim as worst service) or hathway. i am happy with 256 UL bharti just asking others experience. i will recommend airtel anyway, was asking other than airtel whats others might/might not want to suggest. service by airtel here is prompt and smoothly handled also.
imho BSNL really sucks, they got the best infra as of now, but they dont have the technical knowhow, and the internal politics in BSNL also sucks where "you need not fuck me, i will punch the fuck out of myself with my absurd retardism." kind of policy exists. and the tech support outsourced and 1/2 people understand DNS and others need to be told DNS = DUMB NARROW-MINDED SWINE (via a friends place) as per DNS entry give out is illegal back in 2006 and 148 mins of struggle to make the BSNL engg broadband spit out the pri and sec DNS entry after kind of street hustle.
so i will ask uncle to take bharti but hell yeah, if anyone else shares similar horrible experience where you need to fight for 150 mins almost to JUST know DNS address at your friends place to browse the net at friends place. would be nice. i guess i can just point my fingers to this blog and spit it out. and one more pissed of attitude from BSNL? the customer support is the most rubbish, highly untrained and highly disorganised and highly retarded. agreed the landline service is good (well fingers crossed), but DSL or ADSL/2+ tech wise they are a decade or 2 away from the private sectors, they neither cheat nor they give support, they just blow the axe up with head, i heard people axing leg, BSNL axe's its head. well thanks so much for the garbage ISP. even with NIB-II? they suck like a suckety 'tards (retards).

Hey Guys,

I am using BSNL Broadband from June,2006.

I used it a lot during 02 - 08 HRS.I used to get a nice download speed of above 100 KB/S till May 2008.

To my horrors,nowadays I get a speed of 15 - 30 KB/s in the free hours.

And the speed is above 100 KB/S in the charged hours.

Does anybody have any ideas? Please let me know.

hey anamika ... try with diz site data.bsnl.in ...... as yer ip has been assigned in new server so you cant check your usage with these portal address .....

I'm a user of BSNL Broadband HOME 500 Plan. Nowadays the 2-8 AM download speeds are really frustrating.I can't figure out whether its their trick or a server problem

Hello Noobs
i dont think people here know that even browsing is counted in downloads coz u download pics,text,etc
if you watch videos,listen to songs,that too gets counted....its not just the download and here:
Mr.Robin Says
HI,
IAM USING BSNL 900+UL PLAN..THEY WILL ALLOW 30KBps FOR FIRST 25DAYS, THEN THEY SLOWLY REDUCE THE SPEED,, AT LAST YOU WILL GET 7KBps,,, SEE HOW THEY CHEATING. THEY WILL PROVIDE UT300R2U MODEM AS TYPE ONE,, IF U NOTICE THAT AFTER 15MIN THE IC INSIDE,, WILL GET HOTTER,, THIS IS ALSO A RESON FOR LOW SPEED. IT DOSN’T HANE PROPER HEAT SHINKS,, FOR LIMITED USER THEY WONT PROVIDE USAGE FOR YOUR BROWSING. THEY ALSO COUNT AS DOWNLOAD FOR OPENING PAGES DURING THE DAY.AND ALSO IN NIGHT. FOR THAT YOU CAN USE “DU METER”(DATA USAGE). SIMPLY TYPE DU METER IN GOOGLE SEARC AND YOU CAN GET IT FOR FREE 30DAYS TRIAL. IT HAVE LIMTS FOR VARIOUS DATA TRANSFER. SO YOU CAN SET UP A LIMT FOR YOU USEAGE.

BSNL ALL TYPES OF PLAN “”"”SUCKS……

So,Mr Robin
Bsnl does not reduce the speed....i am using BSNL Unlimited For the past 1 yr and i still get 35-40 as an avg speed in the day n it even sumtimes hitz 150 in the night.......So u cant call that slow in any fucking way
It gives you the highest speed any broadband in the country can give you
But i agree that i disconnects a lot...but still,sify,tata have the worst customer care,reliance has low speeds.......so BSNL is better than all the connection....but it has problems......Thats it..........But its still the best

Hello Folks,
I am a Software architect in the world biggest telecom company called Verizon Inc. I too have a few bad experience with my current ISP BSNL. BSNL asset is very big however they don’t have professional employees also they outsourced their call center, that’s the biggest drop in BSNL.
Basically BSNL people doesn’t know how the DSL technology works and the funny part is they have a template start from1 -100…. for troubleshooting steps to reslove the customers issue(not in the call center in the exchange office), that’s the reason whenever you call the call center they are giving the phone numbers of the exchange people to call.

Currently I am using the 500 c plan which is ok for me but the billing is really worst. Be aware of the bill and call the call center 1500 to get the information what are the charges that they charged in your bill.

I am getting the download speed of 1710 kbps and upload is 357 kbps which is really good however when I am trying to download any application it is automatically reduce the speed due to contigency so I installed a good application in order to download the application too faster. Transfer limit is averagly reached 254 kbps, I mean recently I installed the Service pack 3 for my virtual machine which was having the size of 336 MB,normally it takes 3hrs 20 min to download but you can’t believe it I was downloaded in 20 minutes by using this poor BSNL broadband with my advanced application. To be honest that is highly impossible by using this BSNL broadband without any advanced technollogy, So I would like to inform to everyone that if any one needs to get my help regarding the technical part, just shoot the mail to me . I would like to help to fix your technical issue in your premises not in the outside of the premises that the poor BSNL will take care of that.

Rapidshare + Bsnl

I am not sure if this is the solution
First right click the Lan Network in your network connections
and check your Ip and DNS servers

try checking with dataone manual for DNS servers
for southern chennai
i tried
