Compare with BSNL plans, it will give extra 2 hours !! more than that it seems logical as to bsnl people's night come at 2 AM :lol:

Is the plan valid in Delhi also? There delhi tarriff page is very old and never updated.

Jul 9, 2007 at 8:30 PM
that is a very good plan. When will BSNL start there unbilled hours from 12am instead of 2am?

I'd wait for a plan for Delhi and a few more reviews to make the switch.

Thats a great plan. I hope that BSNL is also listenning about the Plan. Think what if BSNL started giving this plan to Plan-500 customers like me!!

Alright Guys...
MTNL Delhi too has launched this Plan but for 100 bucks less ie. for 749...
Rest things remain same as mentioned above about the Plan...
And yes the 590NU Plan has been discontinued for new registration and migration....

yeah..got the updation...lets see should i change mu Unlimited plan to this....??? guys pls tell me will i be getting 2 mbps in torrents ???
Ankur Gupta
Aug 15, 2007 at 12:25 PM
Well theoretically you can download 7 GB in one night...
That makes it 210 GB in a month which is impossible with unlimited 256kbps connection...
Well you will get 2mbps in torrents if the seeders have that much upload bandwidth...

What if i m using this plan for over 40 days... when i checked my modem it showed 2048kbps as download speed n 256kbps as upload. well i heard this before that they normally provide such speed for initial 20 days or so. just keeping my fingers crossed... waise bhi m running out of content to download already downloaded 65-70 gb of data

No mate.No need for application.Call 1500 and 1504 and get your plan changed.And do it as soon as you can.Becoz they always make excuses of server down on the last 1-2 days of the month.:mad:

Application is not needed .. just a call to 1500 will do. I also have to change my landline tariff plan in order to get this net plan.
Have to do some thinking now about which plan to take.

Tell them it's not needed as many people have got it done on the phone. The person is being lazy. It only takes 5 mints over phone to get ur plan changed.

Got mine changed .. now waiting eagerly for the 1st.

@xbonez
Depends on:
Your location from the local exchange
Speed from the Source
Number of Seeders

The most Ive seen on dataone is around 220 kBps

No. of seeders WTF?

lols.seriously man did you say seeders?You assumed he will use torrents like you.

First of all distance from exchange is really important.
secondly mood of MTNL.


you will get around 1.6mbps to 2.4mbps.(Yes some of my friends do get even more than 2mbps)

so keep your fingers crossed and pray to god that MTNL don't f*** us again.
