In BSNL few guys get 512kbps and some get 256kbps.

Can we sue BSNL for this?

Yeah me too getting 25+ KBps Upload speeds....
Hoping that UL 900 plans get upgraded to 512 kbps or at least 384 kbps :)

getting 25KBps upload rate..no change in DL though..

BSNL has done something cheerful for its 900UL subscribers finally..

and it would be even better if they keep the same ratio as before(1:4) but with unchanged current UL rate..i.e(1Mbps:30KBps) :rolleyes:

btw did anyone noticed ? Already home 1000 and above plans have 384 kbps upto 2 mbps......meaning that they have replaced 256 with 384 kbps.

I don't think BSNL will hike the d/l any sooner. Expect to wait for another 6-8 months.

L'users. Stop using this UL900 crap. Get 2mbps. With the Home1000 plan, you have 5GB to surf during the month. That is over 150MB a day. And within those six hours of download, you can get theoretically twice as much as you would with 24 hours of 256kbps.

I'm seriously thinking of switching to Airtel. For more or less the same cost, I get 384 KBps UL.

150MB a day dude! That's more than enough of bandwidth for most days. I surf image heavy websites, watch youtube videos (well, not extensively of course) and do all kinds of internet stuff and have never had a problem with bandwidth.

The only thing that MUST be done is the modem has to be switched off/on at 2am. Otherwise the thing carries over and you kind of get tagged like a 100MB of usage when you downloads start at 2am. But, however, I don't have the option of shutting my modem down and all that and still I don't cross the 5GB barrier. Seriously, 2mbps is the way to go.

Thats just because you haven't set your system's clock according to the BSNL statistics server. Just set it according to that and then no need to switch ON/Off the modem. Or if you want, you can do this just adjust your computer's clock 3-4 minutes early, so that your computer's clock hits 2am later than their server.:D

And yes, do this only when your downloads will get finished by 8am because your clock is also going to hit 8am later than their server.....

No dude. My downloads start at 2:15 and finish at 7:45 am yet it gets charged. I've tried getting uTorrent itself to start at 2:15 or all kinds of stuff but so far the only method that has worked is switching the modem on/off.

Anyway, that argument is totally besides my original point, that being 150MB per day is more than enough for heavy surfing.

24x7 UL connection gives you convenience and peace of mind. 5GB is still very low. There would be a couple of instances every month when you just have to download something huge asap. Even the regular downloads of apps, drivers and stuff can't be managed under the constant fear of 5gb cap. Regardless of how much people talk about automated downloading between 2-8, it seriously screws up your sleep cycle (normal, normal users). I know this from personal experience, a couple of my friends wake up every few hours just to make sure the downloads are running and there were no power cuts/restarts.

I prefer sticking to the 256kbps UL plan because the primary requirement is freedom to download whenever I want. It's not about how much you can download max. I would never get into restarting the router at a particular time, checking daily bw usage, etc...surely there are better things to do for everyone. Just my views :)
