Nope, Unfortunately Home 250 Plan doesn’t have night free time.

[Comment ID #1905 Will Be Quoted Here]

there is no free 2 am to 8am usage in home 250 plan

BSNL in its portal has introduced a way to track only chargable bandwidth. They also introduced a new unlimited plan for home users at rate of 900pm.

hi, can anyone tellme, whether there free bandwith on sundays and national holidays also.

Manju: No, there is no free bandwidth on Sundays or National Holiday. This is utter bogus

I think there is a better software which is called “Dataone Usage Finder”. It is a must have for a Dataone user…. You can find it at http://duf.sourceforge.net/

The Home250 plan gives you speed upto 2Mbps… thats good enuff for what ur payin . a measely 250 bucks…
if u want to have unlimited bandwidth frm 2 to 8 take the Home500 plan.. i am happy with 1 Gb

Whether it is necessary to have a telephone line to get connected to broadband from BSNL ?

unlimited in home 250 plan itz very usefull for youth n others or free in 2am to 8am

in home plan 500 is good but in free usage 2am to 8am is not usefull for student and others,so u can change the time at 11pm to 8am as soon as possible

could any one tell that bsnl provides how much upload speed and download speed

Hey guys and gals ! I am using BSNL’s Home 900 Plan which offers Unlimited usage with a speed of 256 kbps and initially you will need to pay 900+1800 for the Broadband modem if you are buying the modem from the BSNL because lately they have stopped supplying Broadband modem’s on rent . Initially I have faced connection problems but the broadband technician I know is good and fixed the issues. Its been more than two months now and its satisfying ….

please let me know how u r calculating 2.5gb limit. is it only browsing net (surfing) included in 2.5 gb.

Hi Folks
well every one seems to ask one thing , is browseing also a part of download THE BIG ANSWER TO IT IS YES , well its a techy thing to answer in short , but here it goes , when you browse some content is always downloaded coz of that you see the sites so the more content in sites the more you consume bandwidth.

Hi,
Plz tell me if BSNL offers unlimited bandwidth for home500 plan on national holidays….

is there any unlimited 250plan in bsnl

honey: No, unlimited plans for home users start from 900 Rs

i had taken bsnl UL900plus it was gr8 for a period of 11 month now it become hopeless, seeing to take pvt broadband connection., i think these bsnl . engg & planning staff don’t have brain or don’t have ability to think, just go on given new connection but the quality is becoming worst.

Hi,I’am planning to get a bsnl 250 plan and it says that 1Gb Download/upload is free.Now My questions Are:

3)Is Downloading\Uploading free on Sundays and national Holidays?
4)Also explain me all the advantages and disadvantages of plan 250 in bsnl
So Please help me Out

Ok listen up guys… I Have the Home 500 Plan.. i know its free from 2.00 am to 8.00 am.. i jus wanna know, whether,

1. Do you have to SWITCH ON the modem only after 2.00 a.m. n SWITCH OFF the modem before 8.00 a.m. for the usage to be free.?
As in, If i download something for 12 hrs, “Say Midnight 12 to Afternoon 12″, Is the usage between 2.00 a.m. n 8.00 a.m. counted as free…?

2. The huge reason as to why i am asking the whole question is because, I asked the above mentioned Question to a BSNL Customer Care Exec n She told me that, “you have to switch on n off your modem within the free hrs OR ELSE IT GETS CHARGED”

It would be of Great help if any of u out there can help me out.

Vikas: I don’t think so. Before making a switch to the unlimited scheme, I used to download without resetting the modem. It never got charged for me. All lamers in BSNL customer care

Hai Malini this is for you

In 250 plan,they give upload/download limit as 1 GB.It is counted when you visit a page u r downloading its contents .(Standard webpages would be under 100kb & flash fbased will be upto 1 mb).Girl when u r chatting u r senting data,like when u write on MS word & save u could find the size of
what u have written this is what you will be tranferring to
net on chatting.1GB is upload + download . see chating takes a lot of MB yea,if u chat more often go for unlimited plans.See i would recomend u this page:

hey can anyone tell me how much hours can i use the net if i’m using 250 plan?is there any restriction on the no of hours?

Sumathy: There are no restrictions on hours. Just keep your bandwidth low, that’s it!

thanks a lot for the reply.. but how do we keep the bandwidth low?i’m new to net usage.. so kindly help me clear my doubts..

Using unlimited connection now. So, no worries whatsoever. But, is there any bandwidth cap ? Cuz I updated my Ubuntu to Gutsy yesterday (thru internet).

I am using (250 home plan) i want to know about wether its free from 2 am to 8am and other national holidays

How to check usage of internet (Downloading) for Home250 plan?

Pardon me folks, but this thing i do not seem to understand. How can such software work?

I believe that for such software to work,

1. I have to enter my username and password on some “form” other than the bsnl portal form, from which this info could be directed to the bsnl portal for a “background login” like in a mail client
OR
2. The said software obtains my username and pw from my hard-drive or memory directly without asking me
OR
3. BSNl should be offering some special (undocumented) service wherein it provides everybody’s service records openly without any need for a formal login.

My doubts are based on this simple reasoning.. … If my username and pw are private information, how could anyone else know it without me telling them?

Opps .. sorrryy,,,, im in hurry n forget to read the full post thats y commented all this.. ..

this is non password version.. Hope this works fine..

Alright 4 all u bsnl ppl who want 2 kno abt the..

250 plan- Well.. 1st n foremost U dont have the night unlimited(2a.m- 8a.m)

Ur ‘downloading’ kbs or mbs for every pg u visit or messenger u chat on..

Just 4 ur safety keep a check on ur usage regularly(10.240.43.216)
——————————————-
As for the 500 Plan- There is night unlimited downloads(2a.m- 8a.m)

Although U have to switch ur modem off b4 8 a.m as well.. I had jus shut my comp, n I was charged for the download(i.e aftr 8.am tho) evn aftr my comp was off…

Best of all the software provided above helps a lot to keep a check on the remaining bandwidth

Hi
I am using BSNL broadband connection. Whenever i use my landline, the internet connection gets cut. Does this happen for everybody?
Does anybody know of a broadband technician whom i can talk to? I reside in Choolaimedu, Chennai.
Thanks in advance
Anita

Anita,
Connect Ur BB Connection cable in parallel to Ur landline using a socket they provided with the bundle… Sth. like a LINE connection on one end nd a ADSL & PHONE connection on the other….

Hi,
I just like to know that total how many computers support internet from one any type of Broadband connection.
Thak You

Gautom: With standard installation, you can just connect one computer. However, if you purchase a router separately, you can connect any number of computers. However, the speed will be uniformly distributed, so it doesn’t make any sense connecting anything more than 3 or 4 computers.

Does the unlimited plan (900UL, BSNL) have any bandwidth caps ?

I’m gonna download a big chunk of data tomorrow and I don’t wanna get smacked in the face with a gigantic internet bill.

I am not able to check the dataone broad band usage using the http://www.data.bsnl.in.They r saying that my username n password r invalid.Then i called the officials n they give me my portal id.even using that i m not able to check the usage .pls help me…i m in troublee

abhi

Unlimited plans dont actually have any limits. So you dont have to worry. Anyways, unlimited means no limits right. If they impose any limits, you can easily sue them.

About the plan details and how to choose, all information is available in bsnl plans page.

Thats true..Unlimited is no limits…But still thr r 2 plans in HOME UL 900 and UL900Plus
I dont mind getting slower speed(256k insted 2Mbps) coz no limit of dwn load so let the download take 15min where it will take 5 for 2Mbps

hey, taking note of the wierd happy hours (2 – 8am) can anyone suggest me some tools or softwares that can automatically dial a connection and disconnect according to a scheduler?

According to my experience, these other cable and wireless internet providers are not very reliable with speed as compared with BSNL. I agree that there isn’t much support from BSNL but frankly speaking it is not required given the well established network of phonelines.

Shreeraj: We’ve covered that as well. Check out this link:
http://tech-buzz.net/2006/05/11/schedule-downloads-during-the-night-free-for-dataone-users/

http://duf.sourceforge.net/ is a very neat tool to understand actual Dataone usage. The Billing “tab” is instrumental in choosing right plan based on my usage.

Happy surfing!

Hello, there!
I have had Icenet (an Ahmedabad company) as my server for last six years. I started with dial up and then upgraded to broadband.
Lately, the company has been very indifferent in their service. The speed is nothing to write home about either.
Since my wife has just acqired a laptop, a friend suggested BSNL unlimited WIFI plan at 900 pm.
I have heard so mnay horror stories about BSNL tech support – or the lack of it! – I am scared to go with them. Is it really all that bad?
I am in Vallabh Vidya Nagar, near Ananad (Amul HQ), Gujarat. My phoneline is good, lineman here is cooperative and the neighbourhood does not get digged up every otherday.
All you experts out there, please advise!

Guess I should try going through their Terms & Conditions. Who knows if they did put some cap on unlimited pack ?

Maybe its like, “I hereby declare that I’ll donate two of my kidneys before I sue BSNL on overbilling”. Lol. That would be really screwed. ^_^

Even I am in home 900+ Plan and in earlier day I was facing the same problem as to what you r facing now. I would suggest to change your DNS Entries.
OpenDNS is a better DNS, free to all. OpenDNS uses its distributed network of DNS servers to speed up your Internet experience, increase reliability, improve security and make DNS smarter for users all over the world. OpenDNS is a zero downtime service.

OpenDNS servers : 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

Goto Control Pannel > Network Connections and find your connection under “LAN or High-Speed Internet” and change the DNS servers for that.
