DataOne broadband

[nishanthenms]

I am a current RConnect user and i am thinking to switch to dataone. I want u all to post ur current experince with the service. I also want to know if i need to format my computer how can i set it on Windows XP later on because i think at that time BSNL customer care will not be helping me on time

 

[pupudada]

The services of `dataone' are really very good with consistent and excellent speeds. i do not think it will be necessary to format your h/drive for the same. Pupudada!

and this is in the wrong section. Should be in Q&A. Has no relation to S/W :roll: thread reported.

 

[khandu]

in patna i think dataone is the only option and a very good one..

go for it..

 

[drgrudge]

I am on BSNL for the past 6 months and I am satisfied with the service. Also search the forum for format details.

Moved here

@khandu

is dataone available in gaya (near patna 120km)?

 

[nishanthenms]

i was willing to know because i will upgrade my OS from 98 to XP 2-3 months later

 

[nishanthenms]

I would also want to know that does BSNL offers any warranty on the modem? If yes then is there a service center in patna

 

[nishanthenms]

Yes the service is available at Gaya

 

[pupudada]

i am taking the modem on rental (rs.100 pm). it had conked out last month and it was replaced within 24 hours of my complaining the same. Pupudada!

@ nishanthenms >> try editing ur posts to increase efficiency of forum.

dataone is a nice option but take care of the download limits before u actually select the package. Else you'd end up observing ur package getting finished in few days

Yes the service is available at Gaya

what what will i have to do to get it ?

tell me from beginning

 

[rajat22]

Regarding your OS. With my own experiance, you should use XP to get the speed. BSNL do not provide even a good patch for 98 to adapt broadband.
A good working patch was provided by 'saroman' in this forum only. Please find.
Still for the speed, use XP

 

[QwertyManiac]

Only XP for internet coz of security...
never compromise on that...

yes , they give it for 6 months.. Thats what the installation guy told me when he fixed it up here....

I am presently on Dial-Up.
BUt thinking abt migrating to Data-One. Ur Opinion wud be valuable..
I 'am home 4 abt 2 days a week [i.e when i'mnot at hostel during weekends].. So that makes it abt roughly 9-10 days per month. I generally remain online abt 2 hrs per day.. So do u think the .4 GB Upld/DWld @ Rs.250 Plan wud be sufficient ? If I do not heavily Download Softwares and spend most of the time surfing wud .4 GB bandwith Limit suffice ?
Pls let me know.
TIA

 

[pupudada]

10 days per week @ 2days per hour and browsing only. plan 250 with .4gb limit is more than sufficient for you. pupudada

4 gb download limit ??? Home 250 has 400 Mb download limit..huh

 

[anubhav_har]

I am satisfied with the BSNL service.. but we are such avid downloaders the 1gb cap is the problem... but night unlimited is also there from night 0200 till morning 0800 which starts from the home 500 plan... so you can switch over without formatting your drive.

4 gb download limit ??? Home 250 has 400 Mb download limit..huh

i just calculated the decimal way to avoid using a calculator and just divided 400 by 1000 to arrive at .4gb.. the exact amount will be .390625gb (400 divided by 1024) pupudada!
