After a long wait i got a dataone connection from BSNL. Now i am not able to see how much i consumed and then we had animated discussion on the various options.
I have a Home 500 scheme and which has unlimited download from 2AM to 8AM and during this period u can get excess rate of 2Mbps. Is this better than Rs 900/- unlimited plan but rate limited to 256Kbps. So in the latter you can download around 2.5GB/day while in the former (assuming all downloads happen only in the free period at 1.5Mbps) we get 4GB/day. So it makes sense to go for the Home 500 scheme, as the charge is less. The only drawback seems to be it needs planning to keep all ur high download things for night.
Most downloads are peer to peer downloads using Bit Torrent. This allows to schedule your download for the night and hence planning is not so painful. now i heard a rumor that we need to reboot at 2 to get this free download. I checked with the BSNL call center and they confirmed no such intricacies are there. There is some problem and i have not been able to verify how much is my data usage.
As expected from BSNL they are not helpful in this aspect and i itself would have to figure out. i got some freeware exclusively for dataone connections but does not seem to work for me.
I will spend a whole blog on bit torrent and tell you how to optimize it, the dos and donts with dataone connection.
