I am just curious about that how the billing will work now like for the rest of the days of month in new plan.
I am interested to check the speed of 300mbps plan in my locality but i don't wanna to spend that much just for testing purpose and I can't afford too. Here i had an idea of changing the plan before a week of a month. so that i will be using the 300mbps plan only for a week and billed just for that. I don't know whether the billing work's like this or not.
Some one having any idea about this kind of Billings?
 
@Elavarasan You can change the plan and move back but you will have to pay the difference depending on when you changed the plan. Unknown part is the Plan deposit since it is a higher priced plan. Guess will find out in next month bill.

@Roy Hope they fix that sooner than later.
 
@sloj The thing is they need to do is expand their peering more instead of buying transit from Tata
BSNL cannot just calculate the required total transit bandwidth for these plans or is just ignoring the core issues.
 
NIXI peering is senseless right now . They are no "big players" whose traffic measures in Tbps like AWS, Fastly, Netflix, Cloudflare, Google, Limelight, etc
Though it connects later via Tata route . Direct peering is yet to be established
NIXI opened their peering program for Content providers very recently , so it will take time.
 
One of the serious issues BSNL still has got is slowness in getting things done either for the costumers of for themselves. Now people are interested in their plans, but their infra is incapable of handing this. Now any upgrade of infra to support may take many months and by that time frustrated customers would leave.

For example, I wanted to change my plan when these plans were introduced initially. I applied for plan change from customer portal, waited for 4 days. Nothing happened! I walked to nearest CSC. They were not aware of these plans. Luckily I shared them the plan from portal ( that a layman never understands). One of the youngsters there was smart enough to locate the plan in their internal notification. Here comes the next problem, I was one of the initial customers of FTTH in my area and had change my landline number. Now they want to change that again to get internet plan effected ! Being a technical person myself I know that this is not required. I walked to higher official, then he mentioned that it is not required. He made a call to the other person and that for sorted out. I finally got my plan changed after 2 days. Then came other issue. The old modem port support only 100 Mbps ! Then I got my modem changed after going through similar steps ! If anyone has got patience to go through all these steps can enjoy BSNL service. It is like someone using old Royal Enfield. One has to be mechanic themselves 😌.
