I guess it also depends on the modem type. Actually I have changed around 3 modems after that

There are three ways of configuring and using the BSNL broadband:
1. Do it yourself
2. Do it yourself
3. Nobody helps you so do it yourself!

Well said !

You say that it is not required to create a connection in “network connections”. I think we need to create a connection. I did the same procedure that you did and I only got to connect to internet when I created a conncection using the network connection wizard.

The main reason why probably you did not get conncection was because the driver was not properly loaded.

Ya, even I came to know about the 900 unlimited plan from BSNL. I have taken up annual plan and it is getting over by this month. So planning to take up 900 from next month.

Enjoy the broadband internet…

Even I tried to get Airtel connection, but it is not offered in my place da. I enquired with them and they said that they offer it only till 1KM from Paris corner.

So the only option for me is BSNL For me the rent is Rs 500 (with out modem since I have my own) and the data transfer limit is 1 GB and from 2 am to 8 am itâ??s free.

Does Airtel offer unlimited data transfer?

You should have opted for AirTel. They just rock. I get to browse the internet free of cost every night, and that too at speeds of 256 kbps (and the best part is, there is no limits to my downloads). Inclusive of telephone charges, and modem rental, the monthly charges comes to about Rs. 700 - just Rs. 700 !!

Just read your blog and you seem to be very intersting. Your poem was simply great. I am sure you would have a wealth of experience under your belt and it would be nice if you share them with us in your blog.

And reagarding broadband, even i want them to ‘broaden the band’

You may be surprised to know that I am a 57 yrs old, ex-fauji (no big deal to say Wing Commander (Retd)) and self taught compu - literate spending an average of 4hrs on the net amidst the constant nagging of my wife. I have done a lot of ‘research’ or should I say ‘google search’ and can assure you that “DataOne” is SIMBLY great.

Imagine our BSNL babus can also deliver and match the best in the world !

But it takes the breadth out of me to think that the Home500 plan offers you ‘unlimited’ surfing only between 2 to 6 a.m (repeat am or rather “thick of night” when the ‘whole’ country is expected to sleep). Indians can not be graceful even when we give charity.

Because of the 1GB limit of DataOne per month, I am forced to use Sify’s 256 kbps ‘Night Unlimited’ for Rs.545. Of course, you have to go through the hassel of logging in using their dialer (unlike D-O which is always on) and the compulsory entry into sify.com as your home page. To avoid changing the IP address everyday in the LAN card configured for BSNL’s D-One, I have settled for a second LAN Card (RealTek 8139 Family PCI ethernet)…but not very bad. Download is still possible around 30k.

Minister Maran, you have done very well to bring broadband, but when are you going to ‘broaden the band’ by removing the GB limits?

The problem is that the other end they are able to listen my voice clearly , but I am getting all broken voice from them. Please help me and pmail me the solution to my mail ID (srinivasmaktal@rediffmail.com)

But, Unfortunately, The speed is more like Dialup, 64 kbps:(

So, If we want to be the fastest and the most affordable thing as of now, I think our Only Option is BSNL Dataone.

I almost got my connection removed by unwittingly overshoting my 1 GB Limit by 200 MB. But Now, everything seems to be Fine.

Hope those BSNL Guys get out with some plan like the Sify one, with Unlimited Bandwidth:)

Hmm the 1GB limit is disheartening for me also, But what to do?

Letâ??s hope that BSNL come with some kind of unlimited plan soon…

And the latest news from our IT minister seems to be promising
