Solve Your BSNL DataOne Night Free Download Problem

BSNL Dataone is one of the widely used broadband internet service in India. It has different plans including Home 500, Home 500 C, Home 500 Combo plus etc. If you have one of the above dataone plan, you may have noticed that these plans comes with Night Free (Unlimited plan). So basically whatever you download during 2 AM to 8 AM would not count towards your monthly download limits.

Here is the catch though, DataOne averages the data usage over the sessionand then substracts 6 hours (2AM to 8AM) worth of the download. So for users of free night plan from 2AM to 8AM, they still have to switch off and switch on their modem at 2AM if they want to get really night free from dataone.

For e.g. If you connect at 10 PM and disconnect at 6 AM and download 400 MB data, downloading only during 2AM to 6AM, still the average is 50 MB/hour. So free usage is 50*4=200 MB and the rest (200 MB) is paid download.

Shajul has developed a software which allows you to connect and disconnect automatically at specified times. The software basically disconnects the modem at 1:58 AM and then connects back the model at 2:00 AM. During 2:00 AM to 8:00 AM you can have your downloads scheduled. Again at 7:58 AM it disconncts the modem and connects it back at 8:00 AM.

What is Broadband?

Broadband is the name given to a high-speed internet connection that provide large bandwidth. It is a quick connection, typically “always-on” and capable of transmitting data at a much faster rate than a standard dialup modem connection. Broadband also won’t tie up your phone line, allowing you to use the internet and telephone simultaneously. Broadband an be provided from a dedicated line such as Cable or ISDN, or over the top of our phone line such as ADSL.Low-band Internet access is typically running up to 56kbps using a dial-up modem. Mid-band Internet is a phrase given to dialup that operates at 64kbps or 28kbps. Broadband starts at 512kbps (approximately ten times faster than typical dialup) and is also typically available at 1mbps, 1.5mbps and 2.2mbps. Some companies offer broadband at 4mbps and 8mbps. The maximum possible for able is around 26mbps and 24mbps for ADSL although these speeds are not sold commercially due to the high cost required to upgrade telephone lines to be able o transmit at this speed.With broadband you can quickly download or stream music and video. Many websites re designed especially for broadband users with intense integrated graphics, lash and video. Another popular use of broadband is online gaming. Xbox and PS2 consoles include broadband support, by subscribing to gaming packages from your SP you can play Xbox and PS2 games live with other people over the internet. Online PC gaming has been around since the early days of the internet, but now ith faster speeds there is less lag (slow or jerky response from the computer making it hard to play) and you are no longer keeping an eye on the time as you lay, making it much more popular. Many recent games are released requiring an internet connection, without them you simply cannot play.

tip to save broadband bandwidth

Another tip to save broadband bandwidth (not only BSNL )

Use a GOOD Anti Virus

But how can anti virus help me to save bandwidth?
Most of the modern day virus and trojans are capable of auto-updating themselves. There are also similat malicious programs which send out data packets without your knowledge. And this will increase the bandwidth usgae and will give you a huge bill. This is where a good anti virus can help. Unfortunately, most of the anti-viruses available today are costly and are not affordable for common man in India. But, we have many good anti virus softwares which are available for free. And, they are as good as the paid ones and some outperforms the paid counterparts.

Here is a list of some free anti virus softwares.

Avast!-The Best one (We reccomend this one)

Anti-vir

And never use two anti-virus softwares simulatenously. Doing so will not help you much and also they eat up a lot of system resources. Though you can use anti-spywares along with it. And we reccomend to use ananti-spyware along with the anti virus software.

Here is a list of some FREE anti-spyware softwares.

Spybot S&D

Ad-Aware

So, install these, and update to latest definitions, do a complete system scan. Remove all those infections and notice the change in bandwidth usage and download / upload speed.

Restart the browser and you will be amazed to see, the flash ads being blocked. This plugin also has the option to exempt some sites (likeonline greeting sites etc) from block.

And this Firefox extension successfully blocks the following:

Macromedia Flash

Improve the broadband performance in Windows XP/2003

Improve the broadband performance in Windows XP/2003

Well, before doing this....do this test

1) Goto http://www.testmy.net/ and click on Download Speed Test, and then on Smart Test....(and while conducting this test, don't forget to close all Instant Messagers, and there should be no other web activity, other than the test)

2) Note down the speeds.

Now, lets see, what all changes to be made.....

This tip is designed for increased BROADBAND speed in Windows XP while using standard Network Interface cards (NIC) that are connected to ADSL modems, or when using any directly-connected USB ADSL modem.

To speed up the Internet connection speed we need to configure a special buffer in the computer's memory in order to enable it to better deal with interrupts made from the NIC or the USB modem.

This tip is only recommended if you have 256MB RAM or higher.

Step #1 - Identify the IRQ used by the NIC/USB modem

1. Open the System Information tool by running MSINFO32.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand System Summary > Hardware Resources > IRQs.
3. Look for the listing made for your NIC (in my case - a Intel® PRO/100+ Management Adapter). Note the IRQ next to the specified line (in my case - IRQ21).

In case of USB modems you will first need to find the right USB device used by your modem. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Device Manager tool by running DEVMGMT.MSC from the Run command (or by right-clicking My Computer > Hardware tab > Device Manager button).
2. Scroll down to Universal Serial Bus controllers and expand it.
3. Right-click the USB Root Hub and select Properties. Note that you might need to do so for all listed USB Root hubs (if there are more than one) in order to find the right one.
4. In the Power tab, look for your USB ADSL modem.
5. In the Resources tab look for the assigned IRQ (in this case - IRQ21).
6. This is the IRQ we're looking for.

Note: IRQs and modem names might vary...

Step #2 - Modify the system.ini file

1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run command.
2. Expand the system.ini file window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end of the file till you find a line called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank line, and in that line type IrqX=4096 where X is the designated IRQ number we found in step #1, in my case it's IRQ21.

Note: This line IS CASE SENSITIVE!!!

5. Click on the File menu, then choose Save.
6. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your computer.

Done. Speed improvement will be noticed after the computer reboots.

NOW DO THE SPEED TEST AGAIN (MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNING) AND NOTICE THE CHANGE IN SPEED

The most speed improvement is visible with USB.

WARNING:- It worked for me....am not sure whether it will work for you...
