I am really reaaly confused , some say that u need to switch on modem at 2.03 am and off at 7.55 am or we can use it normally and night time will not be charged One more thing how can i chk data usage i have only user id and password do i need to get some portal ID. Also i am unable to log on to DataFox it says wrong name or passwordDo i need to chk some IP address & how

always restart modem/connection at 2:05AM & 7:55AM or else you will get a huge bill because bsnl billing system is not perfect & will count those download/uploads too as billable which starts before free time but ends after free time started(e.g.1:55AM-3:13AM will be charged).

portal ID is must to check usage.you get it from bsnl(do not get it by registering on the bsnl site).

datafox won't work for newer customers.use this firefox script
https://broadband.forum/bsnl-dataone-broadband/24137-bandwidth-calculator-new-portal-users/
this script will only tell your usage based on bsnl portal records only.if you want more assurance use some bandwidth monitoring software like tautology bandwidth meter.

Its always a better idea to restart the modem at 2:05 and OFF at 7:55 since we cannot be so sure about the BSNL clock timings, sometimes they r not accurate.So why take a risk

ok.in home plan 500 its like this.any download starting before free hours will be most probably included in the log,its the same abt the end time too.suppose i start a download of 100 mb from link-removed at 1.59am then atleast half of it wud eat ur into ur actual usage.suppose u start at 7.59am its the same too.ok

1. This is news to us. If you change the tariff plan your IP is also changed.
2. If they had given you a 14 Digit portal , check here daily
BSNL - Broadband Account Management. May be lazy to reset their equipment.
3. Check your Ip here: What Is My IP Address? - Lookup IP, Hide IP, Change IP, Trace IP and more...
4. Better use to check usage , this program ( with timer )

I think everyone should get this by mail (not e-mail) from their respective telecom circle.

Have you got this letter?
