^^No i haven't shutdown my modem since yesterday-its been operating continuously for the last 30 hrs or so without any breaks in between-actually the thought of restarting my modem did cross my mind but i haven't done so as i'm afraid it might revert my d/l speed back to the miserably slow 512 kbps-i was actually thinking of keeping it running like this for as long as possible and seeing how things turn out.But do you think it might be a ploy being used by bsnl to charge more money from their customers than the usual amount?The increased speed is obviously resulting from a technical problem or glitch at their end and they shouldn't penalize their customers for that-its not their fault afterall.
I just checked their updated tariff page but there they haven't mentioned anything about chargeable units or pending amount for uld 545-they have only stated that speed will reduce to 512 kbps when 1 gb limit is exceeded:

Also unlike what some other users have reported here,i didn't receive any popup messages asking me to top up my account for Rs 500 although my 1 gb quota was over a long time ago.Do you think it might be risky to go on like this and i should restart my modem just to be on the safe side?
Check selfcare portal. Anyway, this trick rather glitch works for some ie when you are getting high speed don't restart / power off your modem - the speed you are getting won't change
I have restarted my modem many times. Even power in our area went off due to thunderstorms. But even now it is going on with 2mb/ps speed. I am careful now. I have already seen the selfcare portal. There it is showing my old plan and no chargeable units. But I will wait four five days to see. I dont want to pay huge amt to BSNL.

i think you should better restart your modem
same here too
I have restarted my modem and chose to remain with 512kbs but still my speed is 2mb/ps. I dont trust BSNL. They are upto some tricks.
Now this is new
I remember lasttime when BSNL changed my plan from Home Combo 500 to Home CNT 500 or something like that without any intimation. on July of last year chargeable unit for night time [ 2 - 8 ] showed 0. But when I check back on 9th July I saw pending amount of 6.4k+. I was really shocked. BSNL did this to many which all fixed after 2 months. But from July - Sept. BSNL gave enough headache and no they don't refund your money. It will be with them and you will get discount on your subsequent bills.

i wonder wth is that supposed to mean!
My guess is your circle have not yet configured properly for this change but sooner or later they will for sure and they can back count the data you consumed. I'm not freaking you out it's just that I don't have too smooth exp. with BSNL from last year. Just be cautious and take screenshot of your selfcare portal unbilled usage details everyday.
Same for me. Also, no change in speed. It's still 512kbps
Lodge a complain to BSNL CC.

. BSNL even came with a page to do a top up or decline it to browse with a lower speed. i did not touch top up button, instead declined. it was throwing an error(code:1003) several times and after restarting the modem 3 times,i finally could decline the pesky offer from bull sh!@ . before declining i tried other sites. facebook and gmail was accessible but many other sites weren't as it redirect to a bsnl page to either do a top up or decline.
