My post at https://sunish.net/2007/10/25/bsnl-gprs-configuration seems to be one of the most popular pages in spite of the fact that the site was not updated for a long long time.

Time taken to download for various Broadband Speeds
A recent business proposal required me to calculate the time taken to download huge files. Being a BSNL Dataone user, I was comparing it with various plans including the Home unlimited plan for Rs.900. 1 MB = 1024 KB = 1024 * 1024 bytes = 1048576 bytes = 1048576*8 = 8388608 bits Bandwidth in K…
GPRS Activation and Deactivation procedure for BSNL Postpaid connections
Being one of the early adopters of GPRS in Kerala, I thought I knew what’s going on with BSNL GPRS. Time and again I was proved that my knowledge is limited. I wanted to change my GPRS Plan to Plan 199 and had thought that required a letter. I had suggested to BSNL employees and…
BSNL GPRS configuration
Yesterday I happened to go to Calicut BSNL office. I had an issue with my mobile connection where call forwarding didn’t work. I tried changing the mobile and trying various options, but no luck. Called customer care and they asked to do the usual stuff, turn off the mobile, remove SIM, blah blah. Its…
So easy to get BSNL dataone passwords/usernames
BSNL with its stupid scheme of having the first 3 letters of the username followed by 123. With my delphi skills and couple of hours I could harvest around 20 working passwords from just 4 or 5 google pages. Whose was the stupid idea I don’t know, but if u haven’t changed it yet, don’t…
BSNL limiting my bandwidth

Configuring BSNL Dataone Modem for simultaneous Internet Access on USB and Ethernet ports
I was digging around the net for a solution to have shared net access on my Haweui MT841 modem (ADSL Gateway). It has 4 ethernet ports (that can be used as a switch), 1 USB and WIFI (which apparantly requires a separate PCMCIA card to get it working). My laptop doesn’t have an ethernet interface…
Another broadband connection and some new sites
Took another bsnl broadband connection. This time the modem came with a USB connection. It can act as a switch too. Too good an offer since I wanted both. There’s support for wireless too, but the pcmcia card that was supposed to be there was not in the carton.So now there’s 800 MB of download,…
Broadband Joy
I finally got BSNL broadband after the long wait.Can you believe that I have 256kbps bandwidth in Perambra, a small town in Kerala. I must say, so far things are excellent. The best part is its free for 2 months. Ofcourse the data is limited to 400mb. It doesn’t matter I have found ways to…
