like this BSNL sucks my free 2.5GB data. i downloaded 400MB in free time only.. but bsnl billed in non-free usage hrs.starts from 1.59am to 2.29am. so wat is scene behind this.. wat is the use of paying 600+. Plz help me out... Thanks in advance.. .

buddy there is always difference between the time of BSNL servers and our times. always it is advisable to start free usage at about 2.15 am and stop it at about 7.55 am.

as ramakrishnan said there is time difference between your and bsnl server times....secondly usage is determined by starting point for 30 minutes...so even if you start one second before 2 am all you download in next 30 minutes will be charged in 2.5GB

No sir. Whatever you do, you must, oh you must restart your router/modem at 2 am before starting your downloads. To be on the safe side you could give it five minutes. Also, you must, oh you must, restart the router BEFORE 8 a.m. Failing which you will get billed like 300MB or so.

Hmmmm....still so much confusion with BSNL plans.

What if this, what if that?

After almost 3 yrs with Dataone, most people still do not have a clear idea as to how to utilize the free usage.
