I have 500c plan of bsnl.
I have installed auto-shut down software installed.It shuts down the computer exactly at 7:55 a.m.
Now the problem is even if the software shuts down the computer at 7:55 a.m i have been charged extra 70mb(displayed on regular usage)
But the thing is i cannot terminate modem connection.Power,dsl,internet lights are ON but only lan1 light is off but there is no downloading taking place.
still there is download and upload displayed from 8:00 to 8:23 a.m.
i terminated the modem connection around 8:20. Is it necessary to terminate even modem connection??. if i'm on the pc i would have restarted the modem.
This happened twice.
My friend, you are walking on thin ice. I also had perfectly timed scripts to start/stop
router. But still got 4 billing issues over 2 years, twice it crossed 10K.. I had to fought hard to get those corrected.
Best is - switch to some unlimited / fair usage plan... or just do not expect to take advantage of free-night-time-uses.
