Mystery Solved!! UL 1350 and ULF 1350
Hi Ppl, basically there are two plans: UL 1350 ( 512 Kbps unlimited, officially) and ULF 1350 (Theoretically 2 Mbps upto 15 GB and 512 thereafter).
UL 1350
Now, UL 1350 is shelved and no fresh registrations accepted. "NOT ALL" Old Customers using this plan are automatically migrated to ULF1350. Customers like, who have got dataone in early 2006( like myself) belong to the old P1 type, you are connected to NIB I ( refer
google) and are connected to the Old DSLAMS ( refer wiki) in the exchanges. They need to visit the exchange/customer care to need to be migrated to P3 ( MP ) ( 117.XXX.XXX.XXX IP)and to make a plan change to 1350 ULF if needed. There are unofficial reports that this UL 1350 will be /has been upgraded to 1 Mbps unlimted. So, if your plan in dataone account admin site shows 1350UL and you are getting 512 kbps, please wait before moving out of this plan ( to which you cannot come back) as you may get 1 mbps unlimited speed.
UL1350 ULF:
This is the new plan. You are connected to NIB II, and you ll get nearly 2 mbps till 15 Gb ( officially). You'll have IP starting 117.XXX.XXX.XXX and your usage portal is different at "data.bsnl.in". Since teh usage monitoring in BSNL is still not perfect for this plan, some of you may get >512 even after exceeding 15 GB limit, but it will reduce to 512 kbps. You are in P3 type and you are connected to new DSLAM. ( Most exchanges have 2 DSLAMS).
**** BSNL customer care is not even aware of all this differences and this P1, P3, DSLAM stuff may confuse them if you say that



. So if you are an OLD customer and you need to move to ULF1350, and if they customer care say that there is no such plan, insist upon it and tell them that you heard that to move to this plan you need "SYSTEM ID CONVERSION" . But beware, your internet will not work for few days. Your user ID will change and your usage portal also changes to data.bsnl.in for which youll get another set of user name ( 14 digit) and password. Basically youll get two user name and password, i.e, one set for connection and another for usage portal mentioned above.**
Take care.. bye
