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!

    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 m currently using bsnl250 plan
    its working gr8…and i fine no diff in checking my usage amount..and beleive me i pay only rs700 for 2months.

    first of all…those users who have their portal ID and pass can check their usage through http://www.dataone.in(click Usage Detail Portal the enter ur portal ID and pass and check ur usage)
    the portal IDs r not given to old users..bsnl is providing portal ID only to new users.

    for old users…they can check their usage through their user ID and pass..
    just goto dataone.in and click on Chech You Acount Usage(given at left top side of the page.) and then enter the ID and pass and check the usage..
    users having unlimited plans can not check their usage as they simply dont need it.

    hope i have solve ur problem.

    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.
