Dataone facts and Fun

1)A guy in punjab was billed 48000Rs for internet usage.. The error was the employee wrongly entered his plan as 250(no download, 400MB) but the guy used it thinking he is in plan 500.. finally he got some respite after days of fight..

2)In Kalyan Telecom Dist.. 1GB was treated as 1000MB.. but hey its correct by defns, but BSNL all across country treat it as 1024MB. Here is a eyeopener on GB & GiB

3)BSNL Dataone?s website used to check account details is sick..It says use IE.. im running GNU/linux, so wheres IE.. shitty ppl couldnt even write a webapplication in jsp common to all platforms/browsers.

Btw atleast the ADSL modem is compatible with Linux.. So atlast im in linux connected to net.. GAIM is my chat client,Mozilla as Browser, Finding download managers other stuff which i miss frm windows here.. But things here are of high quality unlike in Windows..

    where can i check the details of the downloading from my account as i got my latest bill consisting of Rs 3600 /- as monthly charge for home 500c plan.on the bill they show that my total downloading was 3800 mb’s while according to me i only downloaded upto 150 mb’s in this month.
    please can any one help me??????
    actually on of the employes of bsnl told me that the advertisement which pop up apparently also are added as in our downloading charges.
    “thats why i advice every costumer having a bsnl brodband connection to have a download meter seperately tio keep a check on your bill.”
