Information Madness

BSNL Dataone is one of the widely used broadband internet service in India. It has different plans including Home 500, Home 500 C, Home 500 Combo plus etc. If you have one of the above dataone plan, you may have noticed that these plans comes with Night Free (Unlimited plan). So basically whatever you download during 2 AM to 8 AM would not count towards your monthly download limits.

Here is the catch though, DataOne averages the data usage over the sessionand then substracts 6 hours (2AM to 8AM) worth of the download. So for users of free night plan from 2AM to 8AM, they still have to switch off and switch on their modem at 2AM if they want to get really night free from dataone.

For e.g. If you connect at 10 PM and disconnect at 6 AM and download 400 MB data, downloading only during 2AM to 6AM, still the average is 50 MB/hour. So free usage is 50*4=200 MB and the rest (200 MB) is paid download.

Shajul has developed a software which allows you to connect and disconnect automatically at specified times. The software basically disconnects the modem at 1:58 AM and then connects back the model at 2:00 AM. During 2:00 AM to 8:00 AM you can have your downloads scheduled. Again at 7:58 AM it disconncts the modem and connects it back at 8:00 AM.

  Shajul's s/w is designed for Bridghe mode only.
  
  
  
  If you have configured your modem in PPPoE mode then you can also try
  "Imran's Broadband Helper Utility"

  Its a gr8 idea but this can be useful to only person who download more then 50MB
  in an hour. For rest, its not of much use. Anyways, nice software by Shajul.

  Hey,
  
  
  
  Have you ever used BSNL broadband??
  
  The above problem is with Tata and others but BSNL doesn't have that problem. I
  schedule torrents and go to sleep with my modem on.. Moreover I am doing this
  since ages.. So , I am sure this problem does not exist with BSNL connections..
