I feel the people at dataone (and most broadband isps, just searched in google and found most have such crappy 1gb limit so, for now dataone is better than others) still live in 80s who think a mb is quite large to store files. They say this is the testing period and the rates shall be changed as per market conditions. The site says - The above tariff will be an Introductory Promotional Tariff for a period of Six months from the date of the commercial launch. So, one month of chaos, I have to use dialup again for a month, dataone just for really important jobs (like downloading large files). So, hopefully, they throw a glance of mercy to us fellow countrymen.

Till now, it has not much prob(server jams like route busy in mobiles) to 'em I guess with so, many people using it so, they should increase the limit. Even, they don't provide that good speed as we expect from 256kbps but, I what more do we expect from BSNL. I am satisfied with this only. The 1st day, I got 150kbps to 300kbps download speed, I guess by mistake they had put my phone line to 3mbps socket.
I registered before 31st March but, got connection working from May1st. So, I am wondering will I get this unlimited transfer feature. If not so, then I am in road begging to pay for my bills. I have downloads gigs of stuff in 1.20months. I would even have downloaded more damn, my hard disk has no more space and I did something wrong to my cd-rw.

Hope there would be something like the above for everyone. Anyways, I am taking up the risk and would get a cd-writer from someone and download as much I can in 11 more days! Even the authorites in my place dunno exactly it is free or not, ridiculous but, true!
1gb limit shall be consumed if you just use internet 2-3hours daily without anything downloading due to images, flash files, etc. and etc. So, it is like tieing our legs and being asked to run. If anyone don't cross the limit they are really n00bs, and don't deserve to use internet.
I am just waiting for the time when we have ISP wars like Mobile Service Provider war going on right now!
Fingers crossed, I hope they would extend free time for few more months.
Rightly said on above posts, party time ends on 30th June!
