BSNL Broadband to offer minimum Internet Speed as '2Mbps'

Didn't see this posted anywhere, so I created a thread. Source

Whats the catch you say? FUP of course! And that too a very generous 6GB! We can clearly see how much ahead of time BSNL is.

/s

I've always said this and will say it again, BSNL is a joke in this country and will always be. True representative of "sarkaari company".

Weird. There was a thread but it disappeared!

Spam Baba now make the threads disappear?

WHY in only AP CIRCLE ?

BBG Combo ULD 675 upto 2 Mbps till 10 GB, 512 Kbps beyond

not for other pan india?

they’re still stealing our money.

No [MENTION=15438]Rockstar11[/MENTION],the speed increase is for Pan India as per the news in newspapers.
Even we the subscribers don't have to pay extra.
Though there will be change in Plans which I assume.
My present Plan :--> BSNL BBG Home Combo ULD 1445(2Mbps till 20GB---FUP---1Mbps unlimited)

Whats the use of 2Mbps? After 1GB, it will go back to 512 kpbs

for Pan India rather than giving 2 Mbps , upgrade minimum speed to 1 mbps unlimited and remove fup

512 kbps unlimited IS a joke now in 2015

We were having 256kbps in 2014. Remember? That was a joke.

BSNL sent a letter to digit.in asking to remove previous thread as it was hurting their 2mbps upgrade gimmick by revealing the truth behind this JOKE.

BSNL Broadband to offer minimum Internet Speed as '2Mbps'

BSNL Redefines Broadband Internet Speed In India: Minimum 2Mbps Speed Guaranteed!

Almost every sites says 1 GB would be the FUP limit and none of the discussions there were removed/deleted. Why delete a thread from this forum?

Also, why offer higher FUP limits to AP circle while rest of India pays same (some time even much more) for lower bandwidth/amount of data used?

EDIT:

If there was no FUP limit, lowest plan would cannibalize most plans under Rs 1500. BSNL is stupid but not that stupid to let that happen. That's where the ridiculously low 1 GB limit comes in.

The biggest issue with bsnl is that it's ultimately a govt company. Let's say they decide to put out a cheap plan to decimate the competition. This would force airtel, vofafone etc to lower their tariff and decrease their revenue. So they would visit the govt babu, put some amount in their hand and voila, the plan is scrapped. If bsnl is let loose it could destroy all the companies. Nothing comes close to their pan India nib.

Plan Name	Existing Bandwidth	Revised Bandwidth
BBG UL 545	512 Kbps Flat	upto 2 Mbps till 1 GB, 512 Kbps beyond
BBG Combo UL 675	512 Kbps Flat	upto 2 Mbps till 1 GB, 512 Kbpsbeyond
BBG Rural Combo UL 650	512 Kbps Flat	upto 2 Mbps till 1 GB, 512 Kbpsbeyond
BB Home UL 645 CS35	512 Kbps Flat	upto 2 Mbps till 1 GB, 512 Kbpsbeyond
BB Home Combo UL 775CS36	512 Kbps Flat	upto 2 Mbps till 1 GB, 512 Kbpsbeyond
BBG Combo UL 5500 CS73	512 Kbps Flat	upto 2 Mbps till 1 GB, 512 Kbpsbeyond

To me, all plans looks same with a slight change in plan costs.

and who planned 1GB data @ 200KBps is enough for us ? They should have provided us 50GB at-least if it's going back to 64KBps. Now talking about joke I also think this is another cheap plan and a discrimination where people @ AP are getting 200KBps upto 10GB and we are stuck at measly 1GB. IS AP special from rest of the country ? Come on, when you can give 200KBps for all then also give the same amount of data to all.

The above plans should be implemented pan india wide by BSNL...

So BSNL implying their current infrastructure is not enough to take the load of 10GB @ 200KBps all over the country

too bad they did not improved over time with all of their macho macho plans with big words. Previously the same company used to provide 100GB+ @ ~200KBps - I think you know what I'm pointing at

I guess, this thread should be merged.

Now compare BSNL's shitty plans with this ... if I were only live in Hyderabad .. sigh :

*i.imgur.com/VOEOFmH.jpg

- - - Updated - - -

many guys are reedy to pay ~1.5k for BSNL 2mbps but even if I can get A-Max 1050 or A-Max 650 I would be more than happy. I think we are pampering BSNL more than what it deserves. If BSNL is going to continue with speeds like this they should run it like all other government services at cheap price which many can afford. So If BSNL can't increase the speed then it should bring the price down. Compared to ACT and as BSNL is a govt. company after all they should reduce the tariff of every plan by 50% as a start. Never heard of anywhere govt. company charges more than private players and even after that they are making loss and getting huge compensation. Never heard it about any private player and with plans like this if ACT can make profit why not BSNL ?

About services in rural areas think it as a basic necessity like railway connectivity which is needed for the country.

Even if we all go on strike also BSNL will not change their plans.
If ACT can make profits why can't BSNL?

BSNL fellows are lethargic in implementing best broadband plans pan India...
Only if they come out of their slumber we will experience any change in plans from BSNL...
So lets wait for such time...

If BSNL asked us to take the previous thread down, then they had already read our comments right? So, they should be reading this thread too and realize how they're fooling people with the FUP non-sense on non-AP region.

Because ACT doesn't spend half of its earnings paying salaries & perks to all employees irrespective of their performance.
BSNL?s salary outgo rises to Rs 13,406 crore - The Hindu

The Committee on Public Undertakings noted in its report: “The staff cost was about Rs 13,406 crore in 2011-12, that is almost 50 per cent of its revenue, which is abnormally on the higher side as compared to private companies whose expenditure is stated to be in the range of 5-10 per cent.”

Also the reason why most Bsnl employees are lazy. They enjoy the perks and don't face any risk for their incompetence in doing their job.

When will we get atleast 1mbps unlimited ? Wtf... I have been waiting for that speed since 2015 start. 1000 rupees 1 mbps. Atleast I can watch streaming vids in high quality.

Yep, there's lots of lazy unneeded employees for which we have to pay even if it makes our life worse but it makes there's better so no one is going to give a damn! Anyway, employees have no work related mentality too [ most of'em ]. Last time when my LL wire torn out I've complained. They did nothing for 5 days. After that I visited local exchange. There was ~20 linemen were sitting idle drinking tee and talking with each other and that was at 12 PM. Oh, what a great work culture! Anyway, talked with my areas lineman who was too unwilling to go out in the sun and said he will fix it. He does not need any reminder. Finally sent someone whose word would really work and they have fixed the line on that day itself.

This is worse all I can say. Getting good service is my right not an exception. So I really do hate solving an issue after contacting higher executives unless they can compensate for the time lost and the harassment one had to face. It's not like they are going to suspend their employee for an "isolated" incident. So as a customer / consumer we also deserve perks for using below par service which were promised / advertised to be good. But I know this is no wonderland! so have to live with the hard reality.

As for BSNL I've no sentiment left as I'm paying BSNL more than enough what they deserve as there's no other quality private players in my area. So BSNL is not anything more than those kind of people who takes advantage of you. But only gripe is as a govt. they should have been more public oriented instead of having too much employees.

Wish we had ACT or Beam here at Kolkata/Caklcutta.

True, BSNL employees wouldn't care even if you complained against them. They know Bsnl follows a strict "no f*cks given" motto and will take no action against them. This would be very different if it were a private ISP.

Bsnl will never progress just because of there f*****g babus ..
Govt give free salary to these guys.. not the penny of work they,, just keep muttering everytime in office..
Best govt job .. no tension no work just good amount of salary n facilities..

The closest is ULD 1445 but it is overpriced too, IMO.

The only way BSNL Wired Broadband segment is going to prosper - Govt Selling it to ACT or any such corporate. They will then treat these so called lazy employees with much respect and care.

My comment was WRT to cutting down expenses and being strict. It's not only about removing corrupt officials but resurrecting their whole staff. Also i am not overestimating ACT, they contribute by 30% to so called 2mbps national average.

That's a estimation. My method of comparison is totally on the bandwidth capacity these companies have in use.

ACT has not even 10% of BSNL customer base.

India's telecom subscriber base reaches 96.42 crore in November - timesofindia-economictimes

BSNL led broadband subscriber segment with 1.87 crore subscribers, followed by Airtel with 1.82 crore, Vodafone 1.56, Idea Cellular 1.23 crore and RCom 67.7 lakh

ACT presently has a gratifying 1 million+ subscribers

This exactly opposes the claim. This means that BSNL has more data delivered to it(chart sorted by total data consumption) even with lower speed compared to the higher speed ACT. The only one that could theoretically have more customers is Airtel as we do not know the exact data consumption amount. Simply speaking this chart proves BSNL has the highest or second highest customer base among steam gamers in all over India.

If ACT had more customers they would top the chart with their high download amount.

He claimed that ACT contributes by 30% - that's pretty much correct. Also note that Steam detects ACT and Beam Cable as different networks.

BSNL does have the highest subscriber count. But the question is does it generate the highest network traffic in India?

The whole point of my average speed argument is related to only & only Retail Wired segment.

You guys are taking Steam data for reference.. which is completely inaccurate.

Firstly, The total bandwidth in India in use (Lit) is 1.6Tbps (link ref1.46), this bandwidth is used for 3G,4G,2G wired line and WiMax Etc.. by various operators.
From what i know BSNL hs total capacity of 240Gbps, while MTNL has around 60Gbps Etc Etc for use which is also used for 3G/Wired/Wimax Etc.

Of all BSNL has just 150Gbps for wired broadband, MTNL has just 50Gbps, Airtel has around 120Gbps for wired subscribers. Finally ACT has around 170+Gbps in use for their customers.

The above figures beat my own estimations of ACT contributing to national average. As for any sources, You can file RTI to BSNL and MTNL and find out their present capacities and how much of bandwidth is in use for Wired segment (ADSL+FTTH).

^ Even when BSNL gets bandwidth for Rs 200/megabit per month (as per the 240 gbps link), why is it still unable to provide true unlimited 1 mbps at least pan India while charging 5-6 times more than that?

chimera201 said:

BSNL does have the highest subscriber count. But the question is does it generate the highest network traffic in India?

That's the issue isn't it? There are no specifics.

Let's say these are the consumption:

X-500TB
Y-200TB
Z-150TB
W-120TB
Rest-30TB

Here Z comes third while contributing only 15% while Y comes second by contributing 20%, X comes first by contributing 50%. Since the steam chart is sorted according to data consumption, BSNL has the second highest contribution, period. It can be 50%, it can be 10% but it will be higher than all the items below it. But yes, if you consider Beam and ACT together they can overthrow BSNL, take my example. here Z+W is higher than Y. So, that chart is inconclusive. Its not correct to claim by comparing speed alone as the data consumption as well as subscriber count are not mentioned.

Provided ACT only provides data in a few cities and BSNL provides throughout India, I assume that BSNL consumes the highest data.

There is something very wrong with the Indian internet industry.

Take for example my local provider Wishnet. They purchase bandwidth from Airtel and offer 1mbps true UL for ~850/- incl of all taxes. They also provide 6mbps night ul from 1:00AM to 9:00AM, and stuff like caching and local peering. Yet somehow they make profit. Not only that they recently decreased the cost of most of their plans by ~30%, so how are they pulling it off while Airtel provides $hit wired plans in Kolkata?

*i.imgur.com/Ch0m5lW.jpg

Not just wishnet, all local providers in Kolkata buy traffic from Airtel or Reliance and they make profit. How are they doing it?

Question I'd also like and answer is from whom does ACT purchases bandwidths? They don't own cables or have any stake in the NIB I or II. They are bandwidth reseller. Who do they buy their traffic from?

W

Bandwidth prices: Why we pay more for internet services - Page 2 - timesofindia-economictimes

The other big problem is charges related to cable-landing stations. These are the points at which submarine cables enter and exit the mainland, and the owners of such stations often impose hefty fees for allowing ISP traffic to pass in or out. There are 10 such stations, but the market is dominated by two players, Bharti Airtel and Tata Communications, which together have a 93% market share.

every Indian isp need to pay charges at these cable landing stations,traffic rates within India are relatively very cheap.NIB is bsnl's internal network & has nothing to do with bandwidth reselling.even bsnl has to pay fees at these cable landing stations.

whitestar_999 said:

Govt should nationalize the undersea cables and make it a fair play. Not that it will be fair to the companies owning the cables. That's how tata makes up for their pi$$ poor docomo which I doubt makes any profit. Airtel on the other hand squeezes every ounce of profit out of all its holdings.

you can not nationalize undersea cables,why do you think net is still neutral.instead govt should open bsnl landline network to pvt players to hire for providing broadband services.

Then it will result in Oligopoly. Ever wonder why Vodafone and Airtel data plans mimic each other very closely.

I think many guys took it seriously ie. about THIS POST ..

However, on serious note, this time thread is very informative .

I am in view that nothing will change unless there is a real good PAN India player and currently only hope is JIO, with there Fiber Cable network being dug everywhere, I am sure that they will push hard for data services.

Who do you think pays for their investments? Also reliance does not have much stake in undersea cables, that price gate will be there. With JIO FUP will be there, but at much high amount. I'm more worried about latency and contention ratio.

Can anybody throw some light on how Spectranet is able to provide no FUP connections with 20mbps & 50mbps down speeds at nominal rates 1249/- and 1849/- respectively per month. Pings are sub 10ms.

Lower profits compared to ISPs who rip people off, low to nil corruption rate and better efficient employees. Also lower maintenance cost could be a factor. ISPs like BSNL and Airtel largely use their old telephone lines which were laid probably 15-20 years ago along with the outdated connection management system which isn't comparable to recent tech. I've been inside the room where they connect all the cables, only readable part of manufacturing date on the machines was 1998 (or maybe 1999)

All I know is that they are increasing speeds and removing FUPs and lowering the prices over time.
Earlier the speeds were 16mbps, 80gB FUB, 2mbps post FUP.

And even if they are making any profits, then what humongous profit is BSNL making?

Whatever profits BSNL makes, that is being used to give salaries to lazy employees and do maintenance work for age old systems. They, being a government company, don't give a rat's ass about customer's satisfaction.

On a side note, average netizen in India doesn't goes beyond social networking, youtube and some emails. Since majority gets satisfied with those crap plans or don't have any other alternative ISP, companies like BSNL, Airtel take advantage of the situation.

It was Airtel which started this FUP crap back in 2011. (How Airtel Defines Unlimited - MediaNama)

The same reason Xiaomi sells high end phones for mid range prices. These small isp are new players. They don't have the brand value or the customer base to be really profitable like the way airtel sure. Hence the low prices. Believe me, if they had the option they would price their plans just like bsnl or airtel, but that won't get them the customers. Competition is good for us

I would be pretty quick to ditch Spectranet the day they introduce FUP or increase prices or in any way decrease the value of plans.
I don't think they would take this kind of step back.

because both spent around same for the spectrum in recent 3g auctions.vodafone & airtel are not making huge profits & you can know this by simply following their their share prices vis-a-vis rest of the market.about oligopoly,even if 1 pvt player comes up in each city to rent bsnl network to provide services we are talking about at least hundreds of players.

10Mbps should be the minimum speed for broadband, research suggests | Digit.in

I second this article. Plus there should be no FUP.

2.3 mbps is the average probably because of NIB connecting various institutes, Beam, ACT, spectranet and the likes. BSNL/craptel don't contribute much to that.

My as.s. Not even in the next 5 years will a 24Mbps connection be "somewhat" affordable in India. You can expect 8Mbps to be a bit more common though. If I'm not being overly cynical, then 2011 should see widespread usage (note the emphasis) of 2Mbps lines across all ISPs in India.

True unlimited 2 mbps pan India plans are still a dream.

*www.digit.in/forum/technology-news/125235-airtel-unleashes-4-mbps-unlimited-broadband-rs-899-a.html

with a 6GB cap, the plan is very non inviting. MTNL 512kbps unlimited @ 599 bucks is a much better deal.

The speeds remained same for BSNL while plan rates increased

Its kind of funny but a friend of mine got pretty annoyed with Airtel and their crappy FUP'd internet.
He happens to have an Airtel Store very close by, he now enjoys airtel 4g unlimited with great speeds (20+mbps DL and 4+mbps UL). Those demo Redmi phones FTW.

But here's the thing with BSNL's announcement. You get 2Mbps speed but only till your data-limit is not breached. In simple words, fair usage policy (FUP) the biggest detrimental to our internet package is here to ruin our day yet again.

Once you've exhausted your data pack, the speed reverts back to 512Kbps much to our disappointment. In many ways, BSNL has repeated history of being unclear with its proposition by stating the promise of aforementioned speeds (minimum) and totally skipped the part wherein FUP usage will bring you back to ground, in terms of speed.

This isn't the first time when BSNL has tried misleading its consumers, as communication on their part has more or less been found to be different in reality. It seems they haven't learned from their mistakes in the past, after all.

BSNL?s 2Mbps internet speed promise is anything but true! - Techradar India

techradar still doesn't mention its 1GB

Apart of telecom info, no one has mentioned 1GB limit for 2mbps.. is there any other source or official bsnl circular ?

If they provide 2 mbps with out any FUP whatsoever, it'll cannibalize their own higher priced plans. It'll be illogical to assume that they don't have FUP.

I am not assuming they will not have (un)FUP, but still its not mentioned on any official resource about their 1GB FUP. Even 1GB FUP won't make any sense.

There seems to be no official BSNL source stating the 1GB cap for the OK-speed.
But if the 1GB cap is just a false rumour then that would BSNL's plan very good from super crappy & such a transition in Gov. services is hardly possible. So I think its safe to assume that there will be some ridiculous cap.

A couple of websites have given the same tariff plans. But since you ask, I researched a bit and found an official source. It's for Kolkata and I assume the plans will be same/similar for other regions.

You can see how much incompetent they are even at this level. None of their websites have given the info regarding the new plans. It's only in the news. I assume BSNL has contacted the media personally (or vice versa) instead of posting about it online. I had to do some google-wizardry to come up with that link.

If TRAI is one who is mandating 2mbps minimum broadband speed pre FUP and is mandating not to reduce speeds below 256kbps (we should actually be thankful to BSNL for offering 512kbps post FUP

Ah, let BSNL play with their FUP Post FUP - performance also matters

so Raise the FUP limit to a 1000GB per month.

This should make BSNL and consumers both happy. After 1000GB quota is over then the speed can come back to 512kbps.

Maybe, just maybe, if we make this issue go viral, it may force these ISPs to implement some better plans. Of course BSNL doesn't care about its already bad reputation but trying doesn't hurt. Soo...bring your hashtags everyone!

Guys, i am currently using BBG Combo UL 675 plan and want to upgrade to a 2 Mbps plan (BBG ULD 795) . However, while comparing these, i noticed that a feature (Unlimited Free calls between 9 PM to 7 AM on Landline and Mobile of any network within INDIA) seems to be missing in the new plan. Instead it is written as (As per Existing Landline Plan). What does that mean?. Will i get it or not? Any ideas?

Its not a combo plan, that means it works irrespective of your subscribed landline tariff , stick to 675 or goto 1445 plan.. rest is crap which will make no difference.

Hi, 1445 plan has a huge price difference. I found one more 2Mbps plan called BBG Combo ULD 945 which has the unlimited free call feature. Both has same FUP policy. Other than the free call feature in night time unable to find any major difference. Details as per website:

Unless BSNL is privatized forget about it ever being able to provide plans comparable to pvt players like beam,spectranet,alliance etc.

At this rate, probably we can expect to see a regular speed of 2 Mbps with or without FUP in another 5 to 10 years !.

This is similar to the argument that India cannot afford space exploration while people still live in poverty. It's not true. Both of these issues can be solved simultaneously without interfering with each other.

Govt. needs a geek Prime Minister. If I would have been the PM, BSNL/MTNL would have been 2 MBPS without FUP minimum and would had offered lucrative tax benefits for Private providers who plans to upgrade the speeds and network.

Agreed, but to do that we need an effective think tank, a bunch of guys with 12th standard education or with a degree which is completely unrelated to the technology field will never be able to take the correct decision.

Why do they even bother sending emails? They should just use carrier pigeons instead if they plan to keep providing 512 kbps crap.

I don't mind if the FUP limit is 100GB and then 512Kbps beyond. But 1GB is ridiculous.

No effect for us the BBG ULD 1445 plan users. :cry:

Are the lines in bsnl inferior compared to local bb providers. In my 1mbps local bb i can watch full hd without buffer.. Whereas in bsnl 2mbps it can barely play 480p..playstore, YouTube works better in local bb.

W

BSNL end-point network uses telephone wires which are prone to rain,moisture,cuts,rusting etc unlike lan/cable used by local isp providers.also any local cable isp network in a city is like a big lan so if anybody downloads some torrent/watch you tube video then everybody else in the network can download/watch later at good speeds because of caching feature which is used by most of the local cable isp.

What about BSNL FTTH .. also what about other Landline player like Bharti Airtel who is also using copper based wires of traditional network but their system is rock solid compared to BSNL.

BSNL is govt. Bharti not. Being a govt. company, the officials never care about its maintenance.

D

It is also politics, BSNL can never be better than private internate providers who donate for political campaigns

W

BSNL FTTH will eliminate line issues associated with copper wire phone lines but it will not help in caching/torrent peering.a 1mbps connection from a local cable isp can achieve 10mbps on many youtube videos/torrents because of caching/peering but a 1mbps BSNL FTTH will only give you 1mbps(even if more stable compared to phone line 1mbps plan) irrespective of any site/torrent.

Well, I guess every initiative by Govt. is only hype.. I tried Railwire form: I get error :

Code:

ERROR : in Mail Sending

Failed to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution (code: -1, response: )]

Apparently, they are using google SMTP to send mail and have not configured DNS properly on server or its being blocked by firewall.

W

why would you even try,that form is meant for business inquiries from,say,local cable isp willing to rent railwire services.outside of railway colonies you will get railwire connection only if some local cable isp has tie-up with them?

For 20 gb Rs.500/-. i didnt top up. restarted the modem. But the still the speed is around 2mb/ps. What may be my bill next month?

If they can give 20 GB for 500 as a booster pack, why don't they give it as a default plan instead?

The price for 20GB has been ₹500 always. AFAIK, after you reach FUP, you can topup anytime

did you restart / shutdown your modem in between ? See what happens after you reboot your router. One more thing is be very careful about BSNL. They changed plan last year without any intimation and later charged all downloaded units. So keep an eye on the portal for usage and pending amount / chargeable units. They introduce this to sell their top up plans like 20GB for 500 bucks more. So be very cautious.

Finally getting the 2Mbps. :blackeye:

^^No i haven't shutdown my modem since yesterday-its been operating continuously for the last 30 hrs or so without any breaks in between-actually the thought of restarting my modem did cross my mind but i haven't done so as i'm afraid it might revert my d/l speed back to the miserably slow 512 kbps-i was actually thinking of keeping it running like this for as long as possible and seeing how things turn out.But do you think it might be a ploy being used by bsnl to charge more money from their customers than the usual amount?The increased speed is obviously resulting from a technical problem or glitch at their end and they shouldn't penalize their customers for that-its not their fault afterall.

I just checked their updated tariff page but there they haven't mentioned anything about chargeable units or pending amount for uld 545-they have only stated that speed will reduce to 512 kbps when 1 gb limit is exceeded:

*www.calcuttatelephones.com/BB/BB_LandlineBroadband_TariffPostpaidPlans.shtml

Also unlike what some other users have reported here,i didn't receive any popup messages asking me to top up my account for Rs 500 although my 1 gb quota was over a long time ago.Do you think it might be risky to go on like this and i should restart my modem just to be on the safe side?

R

I have restarted my modem many times. Even power in our area went off due to thunderstorms. But even now it is going on with 2mb/ps speed. I am careful now. I have already seen the selfcare portal. There it is showing my old plan and no chargeable units. But I will wait four five days to see. I dont want to pay huge amt to BSNL.

- - - Updated - - -

i think you should better restart your modem

So, this is why BSNL brought up the 2Mbps speed act for all BSNL users!
F*** you BSNL!!

1. After 1GB FUP, user will get this screen. They can either continue to use 2Mbps via the topups (Option 1) or frown in 512kbps as usual (Option 2).

*i.imgur.com/2b94vB1.png

2. So if you've decided to go with Option 1, unless you're a fool.

*i.imgur.com/wOi3nXu.png

3. So, if you're wise enough to aware of this scam and went with Option 2 - It will ask you to restart your modem and voila, back with 512kbps*it!

no need to worry for such things. that is not going to happen at all. Unlimited plans should/will be safe as the amount of data downloaded/uploaded wont be taken into consideration.

the link for FUP top up is different for different circles so you have to save the link of the popup in your pc to be able to use it later,others links from different circle/region will not work.

I remember lasttime when BSNL changed my plan from Home Combo 500 to Home CNT 500 or something like that without any intimation. on July of last year chargeable unit for night time [ 2 - 8 ] showed 0. But when I check back on 9th July I saw pending amount of 6.4k+. I was really shocked. BSNL did this to many which all fixed after 2 months. But from July - Sept. BSNL gave enough headache and no they don't refund your money. It will be with them and you will get discount on your subsequent bills.

My guess is your circle have not yet configured properly for this change but sooner or later they will for sure and they can back count the data you consumed. I'm not freaking you out it's just that I don't have too smooth exp. with BSNL from last year. Just be cautious and take screenshot of your selfcare portal unbilled usage details everyday.

i restarted my modem several times now :lol:

.

even now I am getting more than 512kbps but highly unstable internet! earlier 512kbpls flat plan was super smooth and stable.

Today I saw the selfcare portal and they have updated yesterdays downloads which have gone to 38 gb from 30 gb. Yesterday I downloaded 8 gb. My chargeable units are 0. Last time when they changed plans, my chargeable units were showing some amount. I dont think this time they will charge. If they dont configure it properly, they have to be blamed themselves. Now also the speed is 2 mb/ps

I am still getting same speed. Good times even after post FUP...haha. I hope no body gets the air of it and it continues like this. This is how broadband should be for Rs 1077.

That is true. Even I am on Unlimited and and even on the selfcare portal they are showing my download limit as "unlimited". No FUP. But in their site the FUP is 1 Gb. What about that?. Totally confused. Their speed throttling mechanism is not working it seems.

ssshhh. For once, their incompetence is a boon to us.

BSNL has started selling speed packs like failtel ... now say your limit is 1GB @ 2mbps and 512 kbps after that .. now what is bsnl counts all the data downloaded after 1Gb as countable under speed packs like say the next 40GB you've downloaded can be counted as 20GB slab each for which they can charge you with 1000 bucks. Otherwise there's nothing to worry but BSNL became notorous by changing BB plans without any intimation and later charged huge amounts which took almost 2 months to fix.

My exp. of last year was - Home combo 500 plan - everything was fine on portal upto 4Th July but suddenly on 9th July I was just shocked to see every units I've downloaded from 2 - 8 am has been charged starting from 1st July. So with BSNL you never know what is going to happen so it's safe to play safe.

[MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION] & [MENTION=11851]Ramakrishnan[/MENTION] Have you configured your modem to use Google DNS or Open DNS? Because, I have heard that if you use Google DNS, BSNL BB Speeds don't change even after FUP.

Google DNS. But how does that work. I never got this speed post fup before. My plan is already 2mbps for 8GB and 512 after that for years.

Why can't BSNL provide such plans pan India? :-x

of course it will never work,speeds are set at your local bsnl exchange which in turn are controlled by their HQ software in Bangalore.best you can hope for is someone mistakenly set a 2mbps limit on a 512kbps connection or forgot to set the correct fup speed on an ULD connection.

Getting 2Mbps then and there, thought it was over yesterday itself.

true enough for BSANAL, but for other ISPs that use DOCSIS modems, their speed configuation is on the modem itself, registered via the userID of the customer, it is possible to change the firmware of said modem to some different "uncapped" firmware (there are many, ex haxorware, forceware, puma firmware) and get unlimited data as well as uncapped speeds (total speed of the node) ..

W

uncapping "cable modem" is not of much use in India(where you will stand out from the crowd like anything by doing this) & where it is useful,e.g.USA,very few dare to do it because of legal threats which may include police knocking on your door.

In my case, the torrent stays @ 512kbps, but the direct downloads via browser/IDM speeds @ 2Mbps

Haven't you experienced any disconnections?
As per some comments which i read, BSNL checks for 2Mbps for 1GB limit everytime the modem/router restarts. So, if it didn't restart, you can go for 2Mbps speed.

He claimed that ACT contributes by 30% - that's pretty much correct. Also note that Steam detects ACT and Beam Cable as different networks.

BSNL does have the highest subscriber count. But the question is does it generate the highest network traffic in India?

swatkats said:
The whole point of my average speed argument is related to only & only Retail Wired segment.

You guys are taking Steam data for reference.. which is completely inaccurate.

Firstly, The total bandwidth in India in use (Lit) is 1.6Tbps (link ref1.46), this bandwidth is used for 3G,4G,2G wired line and WiMax Etc.. by various operators.
From what i know BSNL hs total capacity of 240Gbps, while MTNL has around 60Gbps Etc Etc for use which is also used for 3G/Wired/Wimax Etc.

Of all BSNL has just 150Gbps for wired broadband, MTNL has just 50Gbps, Airtel has around 120Gbps for wired subscribers. Finally ACT has around 170+Gbps in use for their customers.

The above figures beat my own estimations of ACT contributing to national average. As for any sources, You can file RTI to BSNL and MTNL and find out their present capacities and how much of bandwidth is in use for Wired segment (ADSL+FTTH).

*i.imgur.com/vEKA0p1.jpg

*www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/WhatsNew/Documents/Performance_Indicator_Report_Jun_2015.pdf

- ISP's keep 20% free International bandwidth even during peak hours.
- Worth noticing : Airtel International bandwidth during peak hours in AP.

Demand for international bandwidth is clearly growing.. 1.55Tbps to ~1.7Tbps in 3 months, This figure was around 1Tbps in 2009.

I have the "BBG Combo ULD 945" plan with an FUP of 8GB at 2mbps.

During this big news of the speed being minimum of 2mbps, i actually did get a 2mbps speed even after 8 GB, that is until today.
checking my downloads, I surpassed over 20GB in 3 days alone (am not a big down-loader ), And now its down to the pathetic 50KBps (download).
Well, I had Fun for a while and kinda thought BSNL got their act together, but looks like I was wrong.

You get 2mbps speed every start of month unless you have not disconnected.. as on every new connection bsnl system checks data usage and assign port speed.

No, you will simply be redirected to BSNL's page where you will get an option to either purchase more high speed Internet or use slow speed. You will then be needed to reconnect in order to use the Internet.

Wow you have doubts about Hathway and ACT compared to BSNL.

My observation since last 3 months that I am getting full 2 mbps on 25th of every month till 30 or 31st. My 8 Gb cap obviously gets over in first week itself. So I am downloding at full speed after 25th again and then on 1st date the the speed will reset and again 8 gb cap.

No,even if one keeps modem on 24*7 bsnl network will disconnect & reconnect every home connection once in,say,2-3 days.otherwise every home user will get static ip.there is a reason isp charges extra for static ip.also everywhere bsnl has this topup plan option to buy extra bandwidth at pre-fup speed,if one is not getting it then most likely problem is with user's setup(some dns/browser/addon/security software etc).

I tried doing the topup and the charges seems decent. The maximum charge of 500 rupees for 20GB of data at pre-FUP speed, but I don't have a BSNL ID, required to login.
It's not the user name and password of the router(Server ID). I couldn't find a way to even create a new one. They supposedly it when you apply for a connection.

Anyone who has successfully tried the topup?

W

One needs to create a login ID at bsnl selfcare portal site for their region(east,west,north,south) using the customer no. printed in the bill,this is the only bsnl id that needs to be created.the other bsnl id is the connection id with username & password cretaed by bsnl & seems to be the one used to do the topup.this connection id is saved in modem(if net connection is established by simply turning on bsnl modem).note this is not the same id as modem id used to login & open the modem settings page.

Please any one help me How to get "The maximum charge of 500 rupees for 20GB of data" as said in post no.343 or any of the best 3G data pack for month thanks

From whatever i know,there will be a popup once a month after crossing FUP,one needs to bookmark the link of this popup for future use.also some security software/popup blocker/addon may interfere with this.after clicking accept button in popup the next screen will have 4 options with Rs.500 for 20gb being the costliest one.

the link indicates plan as 2mbps till 8gb & then 512kbps,i guess this will work once 8gb is crossed.btw these popup links are specific to each region & won't work outside that region.

What's the point of extra GB s

What's the point of extra GB s

Meaning???????????????????????????????????????? :blink:

Clarify!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yaaawwn:

Well This month December I opted the Extra 20 GB option by paying 500 plus taxes in my ULD 845 Plan.

I didn't not opt it first but later i opted 10th Dec - I mean clicked.

Why I opted ?

I need to update my Mac OS to El Capitan which is 6.17 GB Downloads and each month I try to get update at the beginning of the month since it released (past 2-3 months) but never ever succeed - But This time I'm able to successfully update it - Thanks to this new system. I tried several other download method incl Torrent but none worked with my Mac - all rejected.

How much Data this Update 6.17 GB consumed ?

Well App Store consumed just over 10GB - Nearly 3.73 GB Data rejected internally - Thank God I opt the highest plan...else the whole effort lost.

Am I Stupid by clicking 500/- for 20GB which I entitled free ?

Yes - maybe - But I only have BSNL BroadBand (ULD 845) and BSNL 3G Access - other service I have T24 Sim and it don't offer 3G either <- So there is no point to opt for a new service just to update OS.

For BSNL 3G Speed is good (with help Huwai 8231 Dongle) in my area but for 10GB i need to spend 1011/- or 20 GB 1949/-, but connection may break from slow App Store Download - Then it is Total Loss. For Cheapest plan BSNL 3G offers 1 GB for 3 Days 68/-, So 10GB cost will be 680/- as example - but that not serve my purpose either.....where only BSNL BB can solve my problem with help Speed restore option which provide constant speed.

How I opted ?

I didn't feel to go through this option when my Speed Limit exhausted during the beginning of the month, but later when needed,
I just clicked the E-mail where they send the necessary link to do that in case user not opt it first when their speed runs out - just my case. Even after this 20 GB usage over again system send another E-mail to opt the Speed Restore Plan.

Where I'm now ?

I'm still in ULD 845 plan just to see the exact charge 500+ tax which is coming next month - after that I will upgrade my plan to ULD 1445 which looks most VFM right now.

Hey guys! BSNL aka Scammers are taking it to new heights.Is anyone experiencing issue of having logged in as some other user for broadband?I am having this strange issue.When i go to usage check page i am not logged in with my bsnl id but someone else and when i restart modem...the id changes but again its not mine....
The bigger problem is that the High Speed data units shows zero(i had top up 2 days back @ 10GB

) .This is complete scam...what if someone else tops up in place of ours because the ids are haywire?We may end up with a hefty bill.

Anybody noticed this news?

BSNL revises its broadband plans for Chennai and Karnataka circles with slight increase in tariffs

Another reason for BSNL users to switch to other ISPs. They give the pathetic 512kbps and that too not consistent, yet they increase the plan cost.

^ I'm chasing act for connection for more than 3 months, but they say no feasibility. I see connection in 500 range from my locality.

My speed is now down to 512kbps, but last month it was 2mbps while month.

BSNL has announced a special promotional offer where it is providing a discount of 10 percent on broadband speed restoration add-on plans as a part of Christmas, New Year and Republic day. This offer will be effective from 25-12-2015 to 31-01-2016 in all the circles on a promotional basis.

BSNL’s speed restoration add-on plans for broadband subscribers offer restoration of unlimited broadband plan speed even after crossing the FUP limit. Subscribers can choose from Rs. 100 for 2GB, Rs. 200 for 5GB, Rs. 300 for 10GB, and Rs. 500 for 20GB high-speed data quota for the rest of the billing cycle. Subscriber will then receive to a pop-up message when the data quota gets exhausted. Subscribers can then choose add-on plan of choice and the charges will be included in the next billing cycle.

Christmas and New Year holiday are the times when a lot of data is used by customers. Hitting FUP limit and using slow Internet speed for the rest of the month is something that everyone hates. This is a welcome move from BSNL to offer discount on its add-on plans broadband plans.

So basically if I keep the router switched on all the time.. I'll always have the 2mbps speed?

Just confirmed again, been receiving 2 mbps even after ~3GB of download as I have not yet restarted router, now will see how long it goes.

Another Slap for BSNL in Kerala!!

True Unlimited Plans

Asianet’s True Unlimited Plan 510 offers 1Mbps unlimited broadband without any fair usage limits for Rs. 510 per month. The True Unlimited Plan 899 offers 2Mbps unlimited broadband without any fair usage limits for Rs. 899 per month. Both these true unlimited plans were earlier available with Asianet, but were later withdrawn. By re-introducing these true unlimited broadband plans, Asianet Broadband had entered into a direct competition with BSNL in the Kerala circle.

Recently BSNL has introduced five new unlimited broadband plans Kerala to reduce disconnection rate. However BSNL’s unlimited plans comes with fair usage limit and post FUP speed of just 512 kbps. This makes Asianet true unlimited broadband plans more attractive and affordable for broadband users.

That account against NET neutrality

I don't know why Kolkata and West Bengal in particular is left behind???
Importantly to say why not introduce this plan in PAN INDIA region???

I guess we should send postal mails to DOT for BSNL's discrepancy and partiality around the India.. technically they are favouring some regions.. which can easily count against NET neutrality. Being a PUBLIC Sector company , every Indian should be equally treated.. be it the prices..

Kind of busy these days, if anyone can draft mail and also other details ie. where to send.. I will send 5-6 copy from my side in various names :
Here you need to study :

It is not discrimination,it is business.By same logic Air India/Indian Airlines should charge same price between two major airports & two small/remote airports if distance between them is same but it is not like that.In Andhra/Hyderabad/Bangalore circles,because of increasing competition BSNL has no other choice but to offer such plans.If tomorrow BEAM/ACT decides to come to Kolkata or Kerala then these too will see launch of new plans by BSNL.

BSNL no doubt has the largest network in the country and they have the capacity of giving more than what is expected of them at half the cost. Due to high corruption at the highest level officials do not create introduce better plans as they are bribed by private telecom operators to so that they can do business. Don't expect anything from bsnl adn stop making threads about them.

I think they only recently started this malpractice for kerala region. We need to complain against this. People say complaining through PgPortal may be useful. I did once. I request you to do it too.

BSNL Broadband is now injecting ads in user browsing sessions like MTNL Broadband | Page 10 | BSNL Broadband | India Broadband Foru

Complaining through bsnl selfcare portal doesn't help. They call to check whether landline is okay and that's it.

I am extremely angry that they can do such a bullshit thing and getaway with it. :-x

@allu calm down. Black listing or adding a separate filter should do it

This will be the great news. But What will be the downloading speed. There are various brands, who's offers looks good, But their download speed vary.
