Guys, Iam planning to shift to BSNL from my $hitty Sify connection. Can't take it anymore. Planning to go for the UL750 plan.

Can you provide me some details?

1. What type modem should I go for? Do you its better to buy the modem rather than renting it?

2. Is the cost Rs. 750, inclusive of taxes?

Go for Type 4 Router if u wish to get it from BSNL. IF u wish to purchase go for D-Link or Huawei. No, the cost is exclusive of Taxes..so final bill will be arnd 840.

Thanks! Can we get the modem from outside as well, I thought we have to buy it from the BSNL guys? Neways, any specifications about the D-Link or Huawei modems one has to look for?

I am using D-link GLB502T router which i brought from market.
Its working Nicely
But i would advise you to get modem from bsnl as if you get from market, you are on your own. BSNL will not provide support for that. so you would need some extra knowledge to configure it yourself. but however D-link guys do help if you need any support.

They helped me configure my router step by step over phone. but with BSNL, their person would come & install it himself

@NIGHTMARE

What plan are you under? You SIMPLY CANNOT be under the home 500 plan, as the maximum download speed is 256 KBPS. Please clarify, since your screenshots drive newbies to a delusion that their plan is faster than it is.

Secondly, you use BitComet, a torrent client, that has been banned by the majority of private trackers, and some public trackers recommend not to use it, since Bitcomet is a LEECHING client, and it is a well known fact that IT SHOWS SPEEDS HIGHER THAN THEY ARE. But still, the so-called increased speed cant be till 399 KBPS, its just a bit higher than the normal. So, I conclude that you cannot be on a 500 plan.

my plan is 500 and i am getting above 256KBps in torrents and direct download if u believe its ok otherwise no problem i post the screen shots and u not trust on ur eyes so its ok

Ok...One more bit f info reqd.! In the HOME 500 plan, is it enough to schedule the downloads from 2-8 or is it necessary to connect/disconnect the modem for this session?

connect/disconnect is not necessary as bsnl automatically resets the data counter. but its a safe practice

750 UL - 256 kbps

BSNL already providing the modem isn't it ? So you need not buy another I think, the router will do the sharing part.

I think those BSNL servers are down........

I couldn't even connect for about 2-3 hours in the afternoon.....

One thing I've come to know is that those BSNL database servers are on Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8 )....

Yes, it could be. Because if your speed policy set to 4Mbps then you get this download speed. Speed policy and the plan policy is not same, they need to manualy put during the account creation or if any person change his/her policy then need to change the policy manually.Just put a screenshot taken from www.speedtest.net then all memember understand that you get the high speed as you say and also I like to see your awsome speed .
And the last qustion do you chage your plan policy to home 500 and then you get this 4Mbps download speed.
