So, how much bandwidth did you consume last month?

Hello!
I have got the BSNL DataOne Broadband 900UL (256Kbps) plan and these were my statistics for the month of November, 2006:

Total Send Volume(GB): 10.454
Total Recieve Volume(GB): 32.956
Total Volume(GB): 43.41
Total Duration(hour): 601.5

Here's a screenshot:

And to think that I had once considered taking the plan that had a bandwidth limit of 400MB (0.40GB). LOL! :lol:

So, what was your bandwidth consumption the last month?

Well.. If i take into account my office downloads, i must have easily crossed 200-300 GB

I dont download much at home.. Maybe 4-5 GB total.

Total Send :- 1.971
Total Receive :- 8.325
Total :- 10.296

with my airtel gprs

30 mb/hour * 10 hrs = 300 mb per day

300 mb * 30 days = 3000mb

rough approximation

That was a very rough approximation.. 300MB * 30 days = 9000MB..

Just start the download, hide the window and let it do its thing. Just forget about it.
Most likely, by the time you remember it, it will have finished downloading. Since my laptop is switched on 24/7, I do the bulk of my downloading (and uploading) when I'm asleep and I generally get very good speeds at that time.

You've got more bandwidth than us, at least me.

Wll i am on home 500 of bsnl with 1 gig data limit and night 2-8 downloading free.My monthly usage sums up to 20gigs approx each month.

Whats the connection speed ?

Its an unmetered connection. I still have to figure out their bandwidth limitations

Don't even bother. He posted a screenshot once and if my memory serves me well, the downloads were flying it at a speed of more than 1 Mbps.

Edit: Looks I got beat to it. Anyway, there you have it.

Oops, looks like I made a big mistake. As far as I can see, it seems to be more than 2 MBps.

Now I'm surprised that you only managed 500GB!

Same here buddy...By the way, what all did you download recently?

@aryayush: I can only manage about 500 GB cuz i only have a 1GB pen drive

The transfer from PC to pen drive takes more time than to download it from the net (if you can call it "net", should be called LAN lol).

M

hehe what an irony

Last month my Braodband give me a lot of problem.....and constantly down for two weeks.So i will manage only 38 GB.

here is the Screen shot.

In the month of September here is my highest.......49GB data transfer.

I am in Dataone 900UL+ plan

My average data usage 45 GB per month

You guys on unlimited plan should use more than 75GB every month. I'm on home500 plan and i download only for 6 hours daily. Still I clock more than 20GB every month

Well, we cannot download the whole day either because it kills the regular browsing speed.

Anyway, I really wanted to know how much you guys download now that the speeds have been bumped up to 2 Mbps. Any notable increases?

25GB in 10 Days...
I m on 500 plan..
m studying and come home on weekends...
But due to BB,i hav started bunking....

Before and after comparison

My January month usage 2-8 night free 94GB approx , and i didnt even download everynight , coz this is more than enuf data i need in a month. As january was the first month when the 2Mbps started i download all the things i wanted at that time. Feb and march usage are avg 50GB as i atmost download 2-3 hrs that too not daily.

You don't need to know that if you don't already.

No , why wud i get billed for the free usage time . Call me lucky , bsnl ppl here are very cooperative , never had a prob. I started getting speeds of 2Mbps from 27th dec here, and it working flawles from that day. Three of my friends have changed theit plan from 900ul to home 500.

What connection do u have dude ?? can't figure a way to do that wid my 256 airtel UL plan wid comp runnin 20 hr.s a day

Cool! The fear that even if one of my night downloads is billed is stopping me from switching to the Home 500 plan.

A small mistake on their part will cost me in excess of ten thousand bucks. I have already had to pay Rs. 8,000 once in the past and that was with the 256 Kbps connection.

Tell me one thing, suppose you start a download at 10 PM and stop it at 10 AM the next morning, will it be properly divided according to the happy hours and paid time?

AFAIK, you have to re-connect after 2 AM and disconnect it before 8 AM the following morning to make sure it does not get billed. At least, this is what used to happen earlier. Has it changed now?

It was never like that , the first month i got the connection , this thing happened to me. My PC didn't shut down at 8 AM and some excess downloading was done . But i was only charged for the data i downloaded in the non free time . So if you mix the non free and free sessions, the free time is not calculated in the free session .
Although , i dont personally recommend mixing the sessions intentionaly coz it makes hard for the user to figure out his own usage properly in the mixup.
I always reconnect a 2Am to create a new session, or i use scheduler to do that when i am asleep.

OK. Thanks for the information! I am scared that if by chance my free time is billed for just one night, my father would chop my head right off!

Thanks!

I think I'll take the Home 500 plan too when I next take a new connection.

dudes i can't figure out a way to find out my usage .. tell me something bros
am on airtel 256 UL plan

I got the Home 500 connection on 17th of last month and downloaded 11 GB.(Just kept it low to check whether the bill comes right)

BTW i wanted to know is there "ANY LIMIT" on the bandwidth usage for the 2am - 8am slot. Because now i am downloading ~2 GB daily and am worried about any hidden clause type of limit which will be counted in the monthly bil.
Though i can see many are downloading in excess of 20-30 GB, stilll a cofirmation wil be assuring.

Please clear my doubts.....

My sum traffic in the first month of my package was 30gb in 15 days.I have the home 500 plan
