MTNL Triband Review

I have been using MTNL triband for more than a month now and yes I can include myself in one of their happy customers

The speeds are very good, there is no downtime at all..till now I have not seen my net connection going down…(apart from daily disconnection at 11.54 in the night..I think itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s for NU plan…)

They have plans ranging from Rs. 199 (400 MB – 256 kbps) to Rs. 9,999 (18 GB – 2mbps) a month

The plans are very good value to money and you get what you pay for..not like local cable operators who charge more and give less…

Let me move on to everything step by step:

Requirements: You need a MTNL telephone line, machine with at least Windows 98 installed (of course you can use it on Linux or other OS too but they won’t be able to help you with that), Ethernet Card

Registration Process: The registration process is very easy, you have to visit their telephone exchange, fill small form and submit it. The registration fees are Rs. 300 and Rs. 500 initial deposit for modem (if you are going to use their modem). If you have your own modem then you do not need to pay Rs. 500 extra. These charges will be added in your telephone bill. You can also register by calling them on their helpline number 1500 (Mumbai) but there is kind of risk in that, they might put wrong plan under your telephone number. It had happened to me, instead of NU plan, they had put me in pay as per use plan. (I will talk about it more later in this post)
Time Required: They require around 1 week of time to get the things rolling but if it takes more than a week then it means that the time has come to visit telephone exchange and enquire about it. Reasons for delay can be problems with local server computer, issues with work orders etc…But visiting them personally will solve the issues quickly.
Installation: Their person will call you before visiting your place, there is nothing much to install actually. You just need to change your IP settings and configure the modem with your username and password. The guy will configure the stuff for you and the things should start running in 10 minutes max.
Things to be taken care of: First change your modem admin panel’s password. The admin panel is located here: http://192.168.1.1/ (that’s the default location)…the default username and password will be admin and admin. Now since it is very easy to guess so it is better to change it….to change the password, logon to the admin panel, click on tools tab and type in the new password.
Troubleshooting: There is generally no problem with the net connection and you do not need to contact triband support…but if you are contacting them for some technical problem then do not expect them to solve your problem…you won’t find technically sound people, (of course they will be able to fix very basic problems) they will just have answers ready on their screen so if they see something which is not in their answer sheet thenÃ¢â‚¬Â¦they will give you complaint number and then be ready to follow it…you might need to visit the telephone exchange if they donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t reply in couple of days or the best way would be, use google for technical errors you get, its very easy to trace out the problems
Customer Support: The people at MTNL (telephone exchange as well as on phone) are very polite and helpful but the only thing they lack is resources, they are ready to help you with their best but they don’t have enough resources, answers ready to help…The other part is, they do not have enough customer support executives (which again comes under resources but worth mentioning it again)…now you will get idea about it when you call them…when you dial 1500 or 1504, you will have option to dial 1 for Marathi, 2 for Hindi and 3 for English…whatever number you press the answer will be in Hindi or Marathi…so this shows that they really need some English speaking and technically sound people…

Here is my short story about their customer support:

I applied for Triband NU plan over the phone, I got confirmation with the registration number…I waited for a week or so, still no one has visited my place for installation, I called them up on their helpline, I was asked to confirm it with the telephone exchange people…I visited telephone exchangeÃ¢â‚¬Â¦enquire about the net connection….lady at the helpdesk wrote something on the paper and asked me to meet someone inside the office…I managed to find that person after asking few people…I gave her details about my registrationÃ¢â‚¬Â¦she told me, due to some server issues the person couldn’t come to my place but he will be there after 2 days…and dot after 2 days person came to my place and setup the net

So that part was over, I was very happy with the connection and was waiting to test out download speeds in the night…started the downloadÃ¢â‚¬Â¦was getting around 25-27kbps on torrent downloads…I checked my online usage on their site…and was bit shocked to see the different name in the plan…I had applied for NU plan and it showed me TRIB_AA which is pay as per use plan…I called their helpline at 1.30 AM, I was not expecting anyone to pickup the phone but a lady picked up the phone, I told her about it, she also confirmed that its TRIB_AA, they have not given me NU plan…she asked me to call 1500 and get it changed…I called the other number…it was ringing…so I called in the morning and was asked to visit telephone exchange…I visited telephone exchange, the lady at the helpdesk asked me to meet some person inside (the same person I had met last time), I met her and gave the details…she looked in her files and told me that 1500 people told us to give TRIB_AA plan so we gave you the same…so…what next? She asked me to visit helpdesk and fill the form to change the plan, I did that…I got some receipt…and was told that it will be done within a day….I waited for 2 days…nothing happened…I visited their office again…I was told that someone did not close my earlier support ticket so it will be done once this ticket is closed by 1500 people…I asked her to do something and get it done…she called some person…and closed the support ticket and gave me new work order number….and told me that it will be done in a 2-3 days as the computer of the person who manages this was not working…..

I waited for 2 days, nothing happened, I called directly to the person whom I had met earlier (in the office)…I gave her my work order number and asked to check the status…she told me, she has not received work order from helpdesk and she will try to get it today and it will be done in 2 days…

Today, her last day of her “2 days”….

So I hope the plan gets changed by tonight…

Update – 12th Nov.: They deleted my account by mistake and it will be activated on monday….

Update 2 – 12th Nov.: My net is back….and now it shows me NU Plan

So this whole incident proves that, they lack proper customer support system, customers have to meet people who are in the testing room and get the things done, there is more of paper work than computerized things…so this leads to slow implementation of things…so being helpful and polite does not help, the people should be active and quick at the same time…..

So, to end the review….Pros include:

Very flexible plans for everyone
Less installation and registration charges
Very good speeds
Reasonable rates compared to other ISPs like TATA, Sify etc..
No downtime or very less downtime
Customer Support – very helpful people and very polite

Cons include:

Takes time to fix the problem
Lacks proper support system to solve user problems
Customers still have to visit the telephone exchange to fix certain problems…it should be made online and with ease

I think above points should be enough to point out pros and cons of the MTNL Triband..

I hope you guys like it

Update: Don’t forget to read my bad experience with MTNL Guys

Heya Deep,
Rocker of a review man, rock solid. Would you mind if I used some of your comments and ideas in my soon-tobe opened site on broadband. I promise to link back/give credit to your blog or site.

Deep

Hey Deep,
I have heard that because of the always on connection, the modem keeps on sending packets to the MTNL server, just to ensure that the connection is kept alive. These packets are also included in the CHARGEABLE per Kb download that is billed. Is it true ????

Hi Vidyadhar,

I do not think it sends packets to check the status of net connection, because it does not need to. But the firewall, antivirus or some software might check it.

Hi Deep,

I just wanted to know how much of data would be transferred (considered downloaded) while talking on chat clients like GogleTalk for one continous minute?

Hi Ashish,
Since it is audio chat so it should download / transfer around 1 MB per minute or more. But this is totally rough figure because it is not possible to find out exact download amount per application.

Pankaj

Must commend you on your reviewing skills. You could take up writing as a profession if you wanted.
I too have an MTNL connection which I have taken up after trying out the local cable guy for quite some time. Certainly cheaper and more reliable than the earlier option.
I have just come across a problem. Drawing near the end of the month, assuming I have a lot of download limit left, I decided to start the download of an entire movie (in XVID format). Just to be sure that I won’t exceed the limit by too much I tried to check the usage so far. Sadly, I just can’t login. Clicking on the forgot password link, I entered my phone number which is the default username. Surprisingly, the page gives Invalid Login ID defying all logic. The helpline just doesn’t understand my problem. Can you suggest a way out?

Hi Pankaj,
Glad to hear that you liked the review
In your case, the ID has been deleted by them by mistake. This generally happens when you apply for plan change and by mistake they make this mistake somtimes. The same thing had happened with me too.

All you have to do is, call 1504 and tell them that the ID has been deleted by them…so they will report the same to their engineer and then will fix it in a day or two.

Still if it does not work then you can get in touch with the local exchange guys, they will surely fix it.

I hope this helps you.

Hi buddy
just need to know how do u check ur download usage
and datatransfer speed !!!!

regards
Shailesh

Hi Shailesh,
To check the usage, visit: http://register.mtnl.net.in/ (click on Account Summary)

To check speed, download some file from download.com, if the avg speed is around 25-30 then its good enough

Hi Deep,
what is 25-30 ?
as the speed mentioned is 256 kps !!!
is the connection shared ?

Hi,

I meant 25 – 30 KBps (kilo bytes)
The speed you get is 256kbps (kilo bits)

KB = kb / 8
256 / 8 = 32

So you get around 25-30 KBps

11.28.2005

what is the cost of the modem if we purchase from market
is it fessible to purchase or take from mtnl. ?

Hi,
DLink modem should cost around 3.5 to 4K.

I prefer using MTNL’s modem coz you get kind of life time warranty with it…u just have to pay Rs. 80 a month where if you have your own modem then you need to pay 4K at one time + if something goes wrong after 1 year (i.e. warranty period) then you need to shell out money from your pokcet for exp.

What would be better option unlimited net usage with 400mb max dnld or unlmtd dnld with 10hr usage.With extra being charged for both in case of exceeding the limit.Since evry data transfer is added to total download.

hmm if your usage is high then NU plan is best, I am on NU plan, I keep movie for download at 12 and when I wakeup at 8, movie is downloaded (700 mb one)

So thats the best plan for downloaders

Hi Deep,
I want to change my mtnl unlimited net plan with tri-band. But it is slight jumbling to me about 400 mb download. I want to know if I open some pages, will it be count as download. I play chess online about 5 hours. Is it suitable me to take tri-band plan.
Can u help me.
Nikhil

12.8.2005

Hi,
Yes whatever you view on the net will be counted as download as it is getting downloaded on your PC first.

I would suggest going for 400MB plan which cots Rs. 199 coz in the unilimited plan, you will get 199MB for Rs. 199 but in this you get double of it..

simran

12.11.2005

hi,
my account summary says DSL_TRIB_59NU as the plan. we had gone for the combo plan. Is this plan night unlimited?

One more thing, at download.com the speed shown is arnd 13-14.On kaaza the speed is only arnd 1-1.5. i guess the 13-14 speed itself is not very good, for the 256kbps plan. Am i right?
what do i do abt the low speed?
Thanks

Hi Simran,
NU plan is unlimited in the night i.e. from 12 to 8 AM.

The speeds should be around 25-30 kbps…

You can download some test application from any site..say for example download Winzip from http://www.winzip.com and you will notice the good speed.

On Kazaa, the speed depends upon the connection of other connected users, so you do not get maximum speed many times.

I am also using NU plan and I get around 27-28kbps download speeds.

hi deep,
i deal in stocks so i am at my pc from 10am to 3.30pm mon. to fri. what i would like to know is,i have to keep my net on all this time to check the current stock prices.does this amount to downloading? please tell me which mtnl plan i should go for? currently i am on “surf 500″ (pre-paid)by tata indicom which costs me about rs.414/= every 3 weeks.

regards,
anji

Hi,
Yes it will be included in downloads. I would suggest that you should start with DSL 399 plan which will give u 700 MB for Rs. 400 + modem charges

If the usage is more than that then you can shift to higher usage plans..

12.27.2005

hello,
good posting.. i’m trying to help my Mom in delhi setup her MTNL broadband connected, supposedly rated at 256kbps.

we tried some voice-chat apps, and the results are still pretty slow.. lot of clipping.

I tried measuring her download speed using http://performance.toast.net/ and i get under 100kbps.

Could some of you try this site and post your upload / download speed results?

How do I configure Triband with Mandrake 10.1? I’ve selected DHCP as my DSL mode and entered the host name as 192.168.1.1

I’ve almost given up. The funny thing is that I can access mozilla.org and rediff.com and a few other sites, but no yahoo, google etc. It’s very frustrating.

Thanks

I would suggest using static IP instead of DHCP…there is nothing wrong in it but satic is a good option if you have only 1 machine…

Put your machine IP as 192.168.1.2
Put gateway IP as 192.168.1.1

For DNS if you are in mumbai then you can use:

203.94.227.70 and 203.94.243.70

Keeping host name as 192.168.1.1 wont help because it is just a name you have to provide that IP in gateway IP.

hi i have mtnl combo plan and get 400 mb free every month . strangely this month its showing that ihave used 26 mb upto 3 jan
and my balance is 250 mb for the month. but it should be 400 – 26 mb. called 1504. dum lady told she doesnt now wht to do ?
she wrote my camplaint . mtnl sucks not in its product but in its customer service. I was working as a TECHNICAL SUPPORT AGENT IN A CALL CENTER OUR PROCESS WAS DSL KNOW IN AN OUT ABT TROUBLE SHOOTING ON DSL. NEED HELP JUST PM ME AT ROCKY_VISHY@YAHOO.COM

Yup…thats where they lack..customer support is just worst…they are ready to help but they do not have resources and they have to say NO instead of keeping us wait like people in few big call centers do..

I think it will be better if they can just outsource the customer support to some better company and this will help them a lot…and increase their sales too…

So MTNL.. how do we send feedback?

[...] I decided to email them rather than using complaint form…I wrote an email to them regarding suggestion about their Triband services…but as expected the email bounced back because that account was over quota… [...]

….. LOTS of post no answer for this one please answer fast i am thinking of buying it pls pls

Virendra – This modem is called ADSL modem and is totally different from dial-up modems.I guess max speed of this modem is 100mbps…The exact name of the modem is DSL-502T

Anil – To access the machine from outside 1st Method is using Static IP (you can ask MTNL to give one) and 2nd would be using service called Dynamic DNS check more info on it here

Aneesh – Thanks for the compliment Wish you a great year too..

ROCKY_VISHY – I do not think so that will be possible, it should be same as what you download..I hope you are not counting uploads in 150MB….

I hope I answered all..

1.7.2006

hi deep i read this some where that when mtnl website is down
one can chg his user id and psw by going into 192.168.1.1
and after that wht ever u download willnot be included i u download
i tried doing it
i chg my user id
i am still connected and yes i restarted my modem
so wht ever i download will it not be included in my usage history is that true
and can mtnl catch me

1.8.2006

Hi,
I guess it will be included in the history of the username you are using but I am not very sure about how MTNL detects…they must be getting the phone number from where user is connected so they might track it…but still not sure..

deep the user name i am using is not a fake tel no that does not exist the no is
21234355

i mean its a fake no that does not exist

1.11.2006

Hello Deep,
I was planning to switch to broadband internet but was not sure which Service provider to go for. This page has helped a lot in convincing me to go for triband.

One query though about the tarrifs.
According to the tarrif page of triband(http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm) do i have to pay Rs.100 (Safe Custody Charges per month) too every month ?

1.13.2006

those who plans to use MTNL broadband (triband) internet service, i would like to warn them against misuse of your connection by third party with the help of MTNL employees. The line can be tapped and any one can use your broad band connection by using one ADSL modem (ofcourse with the help of MTNL emplyee). As happened with me. 3 months back i took triband connection at thane and got huge bill and when i checked the usage on their web site mumbai.mtnl.net.in , i found triband usage even when we were out of city. MTNL triband connection is not SECURE at all, PLEASE NOTE.

Sujay, I am not paying anything except 590 + 80 for modem…

Sanjay – Thanks for the info…this will help other users

Hi deep,
I have currently “Hathway CableNet” connection which is not that good. I am planning to try for MTNL Broadband connection. Do i need to buy new modem for this or can i use the current modem for MTNL Plan? Pls respond soon.

Jitu – its http://register.mtnl.co.in

Priyank – You will have to use the modem provided by MTNL or if your modem is in the list of modems they support then you can use your current one. For list of modems they support, visit local telephone exchange and enquire.

I was looking for an opinion on triband and was very pleased to find your review. Thanks.

I have Sify connnection. I have to setup a site to site VPN connection with my office in UK. They will be fetching data from my server twice/thrice a week. Will MTNL connection suffice? Which plan should i opt for? is static ip available with the plan or has to be seperately purchased?

Hi Santosh,
They have 1mbps line which costs around Rs.7000 per month..so that should more than enough for VPN…

For static IP, you will have to specifically tell them about it to provide you the static IP..

Pragnesh Zaveri

hello rocky mtnl really sucks… i have a problem that thoses guys cant solve for a the last one week I cant open a webpage on either ie or mozzilla .. also they keep harping about the adsl router and trying to reconfigure it ……..the status now ip address configured as prescribed , in cmd i can ping the ip address and default gateway… but besides this i cant receive any bytes of data or packets of data…. i tried winsockxpfix but the only help i received was that now i a could atleast log on to a dial up on vsnl or mtnl ( but still no response from ie or mozzilla) if you can help would be really appreciated thanks my email is pragneshz@yahoo.com

Kudos Deep- you have been spreading lots of good info!!
My query is regarding the problem with the vsnl mail account i have used for many years. With my mtnl broadband connection i can still download mail from vsnl using Outlook, but sending mail is not allowed. My biggest problem is when i’m trying to reply to a mail to my vsnl account- as soon as i send mail( i have set mtnl smtp even in my vsnl account detail, though have set mtnl as my default e-mail account in the outlook settings), i get a mail from ‘System Administrator’ sayoing ‘Undeliverable mail’ ….blh blah blah… relaying denied” Is there any trick up your sleeve to bypass this problem?

Hi Deep, can u solve this one? I had joined the triband bandwagon about 3 months ago..was very happy, excellent speed and all.
Lately, i have had rpted disconnections. The connection simply disconnects, the ADSL LED starts blinking and goes off and then blinks agin and reconnects and after a few minutes the same happens.
I contacted the MTNL staff, they tried to help, but they hardly know a thing about what should be the problem. The usual questions about whther i have a parellel line, any problemetic softwares etc were all answered in negative and then one guy told me to blow air at the wire end to remove the dust!!!! …Now i am a doctor and don’t know much abt computers but this was absurd!!
After a few days a local exchange engineer came and tinkering a bit here and there could not really understand anything and changed the modem and splitter, but the end result is still the same. he asked me to call him back if there’s a problem but i really think it would a waste of time..Do u have any suggestions?
BTW gr8 forum..

2.18.2006

Haresh – thats where MTNL lacks and are very poor..but once the connection is on…there are generally no problems at all..the only solution for your issue is to visit the exchange and get in touch with the guys who are into testing room for broadband / triband..

Doctor Saab – I guess this must be happening because of issues with the local server or something…but still just check this setting…in your router’s admin panel..go to Advanced then click on button PPP from left…and then on that page..just see whats selected under “Connection Setting”, it should be Always ON…if not then please select that and save changes and reboot (Tools – System – Save and Reboot)

Check and see if it helps or not..otherwise you may have to do bit difficult job i.e. upgrading firmware..just follow above instruction and reply here with the update…

shrikant

Deep really appriciate ue posting.

Does any one have any idea can mtnl dsl user can use his account on any other mtnl line.? example my friend have NU plan . Can i use his a/c simultaniously at my place during night. (ie two users using same ID for NU plan)

You know what Deep? These guys have changed the router page password and username when they last changed my Modem and splitter. I called up 1504 and they said with the new modem they have decided to withhold the access to router page so that ppl cannot change the settings. So if i have to change any settings i would have to go through the local exchange engineer again…aaaargh…this is so frustating…I told them about the problem and they promised to look into it again..meanwhile i will have to bear with these frequent disconnections

Mine is a “***@vsnl.in” email address.
I prefer to use MS Outlook as my default mail client..
At my office we now use MTNL Triband. What are the email account settings that I need to configure in MS Outlook in order to send/receive email?
Thanks & regards,

hi deep ! it’s sudip here..
i’m planning to take mtnl broadband service .. how it is performing now?
also do u have any idea about the combo plan and it’s billing. like mtnl always bill by converting the std duration by pluse and making equivalent nos of local call.. so the 200 free calls will be treated same like 60 free calls they provide with normal 250/- rent connection or only for local calls like private mobile co. do

Aspi Minocher – The old SMTP settings of VSNL will work without any problems at all…

Sudip – Triband is very good till now, no problems at all…Sorry, I have no idea about the combo plan billing…

My frnd is buying triband 400mb ka pack .. the MTNL guy is bringing a router N telling thim to buy a LAN card . I thought ADSL modem are required .answer fast i have to call him N tell

akshay

to all
iam triband user. ilive in thane. iam having dsl trib 199 plan.
those who want 2 test their connection speed pls go to following sites
http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/
http://delhi.mtnl.net.in/
on mumbai site u will see broadband services.’Broadband’ is written above broadband services.point ur mouse their. it will expand. then click on check triband speed.page will appear. then select ur speed according to ur scheme. there are 2 tests
1 for 256 kbps connection
2 for 512 kbps conection.
check ur speed.
i got speed between 220-230 kbps which is nice.
also while downloading big files note the time taken for downloading 1 mb.
it starts feom 100 kbps then it falls down upto 24-28 kbps.
enjoy the triband.

Virendra Shinde – You need LAN card to get connection working..it works on USB too but LAN card would be better…modem connects to the PC through LAN card

I am no tech geek, but I have sound knowledge of IT systems . Having established my credentials I can say that The MTNL Triband is a good deal and here is my experience with the same;

1. With load shedding, other (non MTNL) service providers have a power issue. So even if the power is up in your location, the net would be down since one of their feeder routers is at a location which is out of power.In case of MTNL, this problem does not exist. So your net is up when you ahve power at your place
2. I was told clearly by MTNL Vashi guys that the ADSL splitters are out of stock and provided I get the Splitter/router myself, the coneection given could be instant. And so it was, I got the splitter from DLink, next day the net was up
3. MTNL speeds are very good and can be validated
4. I am still to receive my first bill under the Combo plan (Rs 500). Will give my feedback with a financial perspective in days to come

oh fuck this fucking mtnl, is fucking sucks, i am fucking bored by this fucking internet connection, i can\t fucking control my self, fuck mtnl, raisons to fuck mtnl triband connections:

-i booked for a fucking 512kbps connection and they fucking give me 64-128kbps ALL FUCKING DAY.

Dear Deep,
Thanks for a good review.I wish to connect my pc and laptop for internet connection sharing.When I connect the Dlink modem to lan card of my pc then there is no other lan port available for connectiong second laptop.
Is it possible to connect the dlink router to USB of first computer and then connect lancard of pc and laptop.
What will be the performance and how to configure USB
Kindly give your view

3.16.2006

Hi,
I think it wont allow since its a modem not router..what you can do it..get a wireless D Link router..which costs approx 2500…

Connect router to the modem and then connect PC to router and then laptop net will run on wireless line..or you can even connect the wire…it will have approx 4 ports…

hi deep,
i suscribe for the rs 399 limited download plan…but does that mean the net usuage is unlimited?

You will get 700 MB free and if your usage goes beyond that, you will have to pay for that.

I have the DLINK ADSL Router. Everything is fine except that very often if I check the Status->ADSL page I see that downstream rate has gone to 128 while upstream is 256. A few restarts of the Router and it goes to 256 + 256. Any idea where the problem lies?

pretty strange problem…it might be issue with the firmware…old firmware or something…

whats the version? mine is this…

ADSL Firmware verison: 4.03.03.00 – 3.02.00.03 – 3.02.06.00 Annex A – 01.07.02 – 0.49

ADSL Software version – V2.00B01T01.ML.20050530

Hi,
MTNL sucks, my issue is strange, the internet download speeds are good during the night arnd 27-18 KBPS, however during the day, no matter which site i download from, the download speeds drop to 8-10 KBPS.

Several complaints to MTNL have not yielded anything for the last 3 months. I tried using another operating system too that also did not help.

Any clues , anyone ?

Hi,

No Deep, firmware was the first thing I checked! Planning to try a Linksys router. Arranging a demo unit. Maybe that will behave better?

Aman – I guess its better to write it down in a letter and submit it to PRO department in your local exchange…(this is how it works with MTNL )

Mike – 99% of the times these kind of problems occur because of Firmware version or faulty device..because if the problem was with the server then everyone would have faced the same problem..try linksys and see what heppens..I hope it works

[...] I have been using MTNL Triband for quite sometime and was one of their happy customers but when I received bill for the month of February, I was totally shocked to see the bill amount which was 6 times higher than the monthly amount. (Rs. 590) This was a HUGE amount compared to my usage. (Which can go maxÃ‚Â 1.5 GB a month, which would be approx Rs. 1000) [...]

I have two parallel telephone lines in my house apart from the one to which the ADSL modem is attached. Everytime one of the other telephones is picked up, the connection times out. Hence I need to install filters at each telephone. DOes anyone konw where I can get ADSL filters for a good price in mumbai. I am talking about the adsl filter not splitter, which costs about rs.150. The filter would be cheaper.

You will find it at Lamington road…

3.29.2006

Deep, I have just heard about many NRIs using Vonage phones (www.vonage.com). They connect it to their cable net connections with a special splitter and it acts like a normal phone with which you can make calls to US and other countries. The website claims that it can be used with any high speed connection including ADSL. Can it be used with Triband?

Yes it can be without any issues….checkout http://www.packet8.net or get new yahoo messenger Beta which allows you to make phone calls to any person…they charge some nominal amount for that…

Oh I would have loved to read if it was in small letters…anyways…lets give it a last try…

Go to your modem’s admin panel…click on Advanced Tab – click on PPP button from left

now in that option, make sure that the option “Always On” is selcted under Connection Setting…in your case it might be “Connection On Demand” and it might be closing if its idle for xx minutes..

Do check it and let me know…

mr deep

u dont know ..how much i m happy to see ur helping replies….no matter we get sucess or not….but i would love to remember ur help……and if i got success with any of ur ideas……i would love to meet u once sure…bcoz i love nice heart human being….bcoz i m very much spiritual to somethings…..

hi deep

i have opted for mnl triband’s monthly 400mb limited download plan. as of now i have downloaded almost more than 100 mb of data
but my mtnl’s account summary shows only 45mb download.
i had used bitcomet and torrentspy to dowload this. will downloading data using bitcomet wont be counted in my account ?
so can i download data beyond 400mb limit free of cost using bitcomet and torrentspy?

hey guys.. im having MAJOR problems with my TriBand connection. First of all, the USB drivers for this D-link 502T modem are pathetic. The modem freezes after maximum 2hours and has to be rebooted to resume normal activity. I’m having real problems recieving incoming connections. I can’t host games on online servers because others aren’t being permitted to join. Even BitTorrent is giving me major problems. I had sorted it out earlier, everything was fine, but then i didnt download much for a few months seeing as i had exams and things, now no matter WHAT i try. USB, ethernet, whatever, nothing at all seems to work. Any help? and if anybody knows an MTNL network engineer or any decent engineer who understands game servers and things, could i please have their contact? this is frustrating the life outta me,

also, none of my local MTNL “engineers” are of any help because they’re simply telephone linesmen who have been taught to use a mouse and keyboard. PLEASE….. HELPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anurag

I am in Delhi. When it works it works a good speed. But, it keeps on disconnecting every 1-5 minutes. Is there a solution to this? This is a real pain when using instant messenger and ssh/putty. You won’t notice during normal web surfing. Anybody has faced any such problems and any suggested fix.

anurag, you need to get ur telephone line checked, or maybe a cordless phone is interfering. if theres any disturbance in the line connected to the router, there would be a problem. if its a problem with the cordless phone you need a splitter

hi deep,
can you give me any hint of my mtnl password.i mean is it our telephone number or what?

4.16.2006

Hi deep,
After a long and harrowing time, my triband has started working neatly, it seems there were 2 problems.
1. There was a wiring problem, corrected by the linesman only after i promised him his ‘Diwali’ bakshish.
2. In the network settings-> enable DNS, i had to change the host to my telephone number and the domain to mtnl.net.in
And VOILA..everything is hunky dory again.
I am actually thinking of changing my os from 98 to XP would i have to go through hell changing my network settings again?

Hi,
I dont know why it was so difficult at ur end, I am currently using XP on both of my machines and I never had to change name of my PC or anything…just have to change the DNS, IP that’s it..

philip

4.17.2006

hello deep good to know thers some1 who cud help me ..i just wanna know why the ip shown when i do an ipconfig is different from the actual ip of my pc as u know we get a 192.168.*.* ip …which is a public ip but when u do a tracert u get a different one (the actual ip)
Secondly when i change my ip in the 192.168. range it works (not all ips but sum do nevertheless)but when i change it in the range of my actual ip which is 59.184.*.* range its never possible

192.168.*.* is private IP not public, when u r changing ip to 59.184.*.* it does not work because this range is automatically assigned to your modem / router and it will have public IP…

I have taken triband comboplan. In the monthly bill I find the metered calls much higher than the units of calls made. The difference is nearlt 300-350 for which I am charged @ 1.20/-. I hardly make any local calls and my downloads, as per the MTNL site is far less than the free 500 MBs.
Can u pls help out figuring the difference between the metered calls and Units??

mus appreciate ur effort for this forum
and ofcourse mtnls speed and stability could do with some appreciation too…
i started usin their utstar modem and the connection sucked
got a d link and the speed rox
now the issue is we are into stock trading and use internet continously for say about 8-10 hrs on 3 machines almost everyday
and the bill was a bomb
i cldnt find any plan of theirs which had an unlimited usage like our cable guys do
i dun wana give up mtnl cos im highly satisfied with the service
but cant decide the plan
wen i ask 4 session details i asks me to register
pls let me know hw do i do dat 2
thx a million

If you can afford around 2,400+ bill, then their 512mbps plans with 4 gb bandwidth is good..

Hey Deep,

I’ve been using MTNLs Triband Service for around 6 months now. The connection suddenly started giving me problems 2 days ago, it just suddenly stops responding. I pinged 192.168.1.1 and the response time averages 320ms… I remember that it’s supposed to be 1ms or less. I tried connecting the modem with both lan and usb but the same problem turned up. Would I have to tinker with the modem settings???

Please do help!!!

Your review is superb! One of the best reviews i have seen for a internet plan. Great, keep it up!

One question for you. I am planning to take the take the MTNL Triband 400 MB for Rs. 199 per month plan. I chat a lot using yahoo msngr or msn. Is this plan good enough for me? or which plan do you suggest? i ususlly dont download data frm download.com, kazaa etc..(just may download some attachments frm my email) I spend most of the time chatting..

Rgds,
Sudhir

Thanks for the complient Sudhir, Rs. 199 plan should do the job…

Man you are doing this great selfless service, Thanks a ton for your relentless zeal. I read your review & opted for Rs.199 plan, 10hrs Unlimited. withing 2 days I am exhausted of those 10 hrs. Can you pls enlighten us on the NU plan & a plan which should not exceed a total of Rs.600 p.m. Your advice will be of immense help to me. Also so far I had verrrry good experience. The connection was given to me in 5 days, the UTSTAR router or modem (God knows what it is) supplied is brand new. These folks use CA number as the password & myself being working on midrange servers for quite a long time could not but agree on assigning such obvious password. But this password change stuck my connection twice , but these 3rd party guys assigned by MTNL served me perfect & with 5 calls landing at my place immed. after my complaint. I would not blame MTNL at all, they do lack in expertise but their efforts are commendable. I really doubt if my bill will be accurate , their system is such vulnerable I dread to get a huge bill at the end of the month. Fingers crossed. Anyway pls suggest a good plan for a charge of 600 Rs/pm

Thanks a ton… Keep up the good work.

It always shows PPP DOWN, when I am trying to log in the net. and i reboot the router or even PC, but it does not work. I am using triband unlimited 256. this has happened many many times. There is no problems with username or password. pls help. HELP!!! THANK YOU

hello ,
i’m a heavy broadband user, and have been using the triband service for quite some time. it is working exceptionally well for me, but lately i’ve been facing this real-stupid problem. Whenever someone calls me (as in – the landline), the internet disconnects for 2 minutes and then comes back on. Actually this thing happens whenever i (or someone else) pick up or put down the reciever of the instrument. this problem has been persisting, for quite some time now (abt 2-3 weeks) and is.. bugging me!
please help

thanks in advance

vaibhav

Hi, can someone help me out?? I’m trying to hook up my vonage (motoroal vt1005) modem with my MTNL 512Kbps service. I want to know whether it will work or not? also, since the modem stays on 24/7, will I get billed more for data transfer? My data transfer with my MTNL plan is capped @ 1 GB. does that matter?

thanks.

Hello
I have an MTNL Tri Band since the last 2 yrs.

Problem: I have taken a static IP 59.x.x.x 2 days back, but I HAVE TO put 192.168.1.2 as the IP of my NIC.
And ipconfig shows 192.168.1.2.

How can I by-pass this and get the actual live IP in ipconfig?
Also I am unable to connect to my IP from outside ?

MTNL TRIBAND IS GOOD FOR USE INTERNET BUT SUPPORT IS VERY BADÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

ARE YOU THE ONE WHO HAVE SUFFERED AFTER TAKING THE MTNL TRIBAND CONNECTION?

YOU ARE THE ONE WHO GOT BETTER SERVICE WHILE SURRENDING THE TRIBAND ROUTER? BUT DIDNÃ¢â‚¬â„¢T GET MONEY BACK WHEN THE PRODUCT DIDNÃ¢â‚¬â„¢T WORK WELL?

HERE HOW MTNL IS WORKING FOR CUSTOMERSÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

AT MANY PLACES IN MUMBAI & NAVI MUMBAI AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF MTNL TRI BAND IS DONE STILL TRI BAND IS NOT WORKING WELL.

THE ROUTER SHOW’S ONLINE INTERNET ACTIVITY BUT YOU CAN NOT SURF INTERNET.

WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS CALLING MTNL FOR SUPPORT, AFTER FEW HRS THE LINE MAN AND SUPPORT PERSON FOR TRI BAND COMES TO MEET YOU.

IF THE INTERNET WILL NOT WORK, THE SUPPORT PERSON SUGGESTS YOU TO GO FOR A NEW TELEPHONE LINE FOR TRIBAND.
IF STILL PROBLEM COMES AGAIN AFTER SOME DAYS AT CUSTOMER END THEY GIVE A COMMITMENT TO REPLACE THE HARDWARE OF TRIBAND.

IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED ROUTER IN HUB OR SWITCH STILL MANY PC USERS WHO USING INTERNETÃ¢â‚¬Â¦ THAT GETS STOP AUTOMATICALLY.
ONLY FEW PC WILL GET INTERNAL PROXY SHARING WHICH MTNLÃ¢â‚¬â„¢S ROUTER SUPPORTS. MTNL CANT MAKE OUT WHY THESE THINGS ARE GOING ONÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

PROBLEM COMES WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS SURRENDING THE UNIT BECAUSE THE PRODUCT WAS NOT WORKING WELL, STILL MTNL DOES NOT REFUND MONEY.
IS THAT FARE FOR USERS WHO TRUSTED MTNL?

THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WHICH WE DIDNÃ¢â‚¬â„¢T GET TO KNOW BUT AFTER ONE YEAR ALSO WHY TRIBAND IS NOT STABLE EVERY PLACE?
AND WHY THEY DONÃ¢â‚¬â„¢T REFUND MONEY IF THE COMPLAINTS ARE GIVEN BY CUSTOMER OF MTNL?

I BEALIVE THAT THE PRIVATE COMPANYS ARE GIVING GOOD SERVICE AND OFFERS STILL CUSTOMER LEAVES THEM JUST BECAUSE OF THE GOVERMENTS TRUST. THEN HOW COME THINGS ARE NOT WORKING WELL TILL NOW?

I BEALIVE THAT THE PRIVATE COMPANYS ARE GIVING GOOD SERVICE AND OFFERS STILL CUSTOMER LEAVES THEM JUST BECAUSE OF THE GOVERMENTS TRUST. THEN HOW COME THINGS ARE NOT WORKING WELL TILL NOW?
hope mtnl will provide solution on this things soon… and give a more good offers.

The speeds are very good, but compare to hathway more mb used some time i chak two mail then used 15mb? it is not possible because i was using hathway from 5 years.
The price for 1gb must be Rs.400 cause in private cable 1.5
Gb in Rs.500
It is sure that automatic (more)mb used in short of time. Some people don’t care 4 this because they have no idea about it.

Question: MTNL charges for just downloads or uploads as well? As in If i download less than I upload would that be reflected in my monthly bill (charge wise). I am in the States and I need to get some stuff on a regular basis from my pc in India.

Uploads are totally free

I have subscribed to Plan 199 of broadband connection. There is a serious problem with the connection from day one.. Even when there is no Explorer window open and no activity is being undertaken by me, the router keeps sending bytes. Because of this, my account of 400 MB download has already got depleted by about 120 MBs in just a few hours though I have visited only a few sites. The ADSL
light of the D-Link router keeps blinking continuously while it is suppoosed to remain steady. At present, to prevent depletion of my account, I have to keep the power supply to the Router off.
Please help. Do I have to chnge some setting on my computer. I use Windows XP.

I ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN IF I SURF SME SITES THT IS YAHOO GOOGLE BAAZEE MY ACOUNT GETS DEPLETED BY A LOT OF MBS TODAY IS THE 8th DAY OF THIS MONTH AND I ONLY HAVE 50 MB REMAINING. I ALSO DIDNT DOWNLOADED ANYTHING PLS HELP DEEP..

This happens when you have auto update services enabled in your windows, anti virus, firewall etc…

Just disable Auto Update in windows by following these steps:

My computer – Properties – Automatic Updates tab – Choose option Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them

This will prevent windows xp to download updates automatically….

Hi Deep
Great aspects u hv here. I was taking mtnl triband connection for my home and am confused by reading all comments here regd services – problems etc . Shd I go for 256 speed or 512 speed plan , will i get the speed of 512 – which modem will be most suitable for same ? Dlink-india has lot of differenct modems and instead of DSL-502T they now hv GLB-502T adsl 2+. Is this ok for 512 speed ? Mtnl is saying they are out of stock of modems.

dated : 8th aug 06

Hi,
These are DLS modems so speed won’t be any issue like dialup modems…you will get full speed all the time.

I will suggest, confirm the model number with MTNL once before buying it, in the end, the modem should be compatible with MTNL..

DEEP MY UPDATES ARE TURNED OFF STILL THERE IS A LOT OF PROBLEM I AM pLANNING TO DISSCONNECT TRIBAND PLS SUgGEsT ME SOMETHING HELP.

Hi,
Actually MTNL does not download anything automatically, it must be PC related issue.

8.9.2006

HI Deep,

Thanks a lot fot the tip given about stopping automatic updates. It has really helped in solving the problem.

I wonder, without people like you, what will happen to novices like me. All complaints to MTNL were of hardly any use, though they did sent someone to me when the problem had already been solved.

Thanks a lot again.

Great!! and thanks for the compliment

Greetings,

First time user of forums and DSL service in Mumbai here. I just bought the D-Link GLB-502T dsl modem/router. Can you please, if possible, post a walkthrough of the modem configuration or maybe direct me to the link if the guide is already posted elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.
Trix

need a walkthrough/guide to install my glb-502T modem. thanks.

8.15.2006

Do you know if I’ll be able to setup a home network using a PC and a Mac OS X on MTNL? Do they provide a router or I’ll have to buy one?

I’m moving to India in a week and I need a really good ISP. Man, MTNL prices suck! They’re too exorbitant, plus they don’t provide you a ‘real broadband experience’. Like here I pay only $25/month for an unlimited download, no-time limits 3 MBPS connection. And just look at what MTNL offers!! Do you have any other alternate suggestion besides MTNL in Delhi?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

8.16.2006

I got the following from D-LINK support and it worked fien for me. Check this.

You can configure this GLB-502T for MTNL broadband by doing following :-

Step 1 : Log into the web configuration of the router by typing the IP address http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. A prompt for user name and password should appear. Type ‘admin’ as username and password both and click on login.

Step 2 : Click on setup and then New Connection tab. Configure the modem as per the values given below:

1. Give any name is the ‘Name’ option.

2. Select Type as PPPoE.

3. username = MTNL telephone number
password = CA number mentioned in the telephone bill.

4. VPI = 0
VCI = 32

Rest all would be default settings. Click on Apply and OK.

Step 3 : To save settings properly on the router, click on ‘Tools’ and ‘System Commands’ and then click on ‘Save All’. Once settings are saved we need to reboot router so click on ‘Restart’ tab just below to ‘Save All’ tab and let the router reboot.

Step 4 : Now check for the connection status in Status > Connection Status. It should show connected with a valid WAN IP address something like 59.x.x.x.

If the PPPoE light on router is on, it means router is connected to internet.

Close the web configuration and try opening any website in your computer.

Can anyone guide me how to configure Dlink GLB 502 T for triband ?

8.19.2006

I applied for MTNL Broadband TriB200P thru MTNL web and thru prescribed registration form on 17th and got the workorder against my application which is 8693.However I am informed that due non availability of D-link Reuter
(502-T) with MTNL, providing Broad band Connection will be delayed. I am also advised to purchase my own D-Link Reuter.
On enquiry with SunriseTechnology Shop No:157 “B”wing GrdFloor VashiPlaza, Vashi, the cost of the unit comes to Rs1850/=
Refering comment Dated Nov 28th 2005-12:00pm, I prefer going thru MTNL unit by paying Rs80/-per month.
I would like to understand , if we go out of India for long time,how do we get De-activated from MTNL Broadband connection?,please inform me.K.G.Kumar

I recently bought the Router for MTNL triband (GLB-502T). I studied how to configure the router in the manual and tried to configure it. But I need the CA number. Since I have recently bought the MTNL connection I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have a bill and have no idea where to find this CA number. Called 1500 but they to donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know and asked me to wait for the first bill. I opted for triband because I got great review from my friends. Now this router is sitting on my computer table and I still cant use the triband. Having to access internet through 17*** is so annoying.

Can anyone help me find this CA number? Is it available anywhere on the net.

Secondly 400 mbs that they give of free download does it include normal browsing to. Or only the stuff that we actually download?

Shishir

Hi Deepak
I guess if you have the receipt for the application you will find the CA number mentioned in the same. its a 10 digit number .

The computer generated receipt has the CA number and the work order number which can be used.

8.26.2006

Thanks Shishir, i found the CA number on the receipt.

8.31.2006

hey Deepak , am also going for MTNL with GLB-502T . Just wanted to clarify few things.
1. does the admin page for router works only if the ADSL connection is on?
2. With no line-in connection can we still see the administration page.

I’ve tried but there seems to be some issue, the page or the router is not able to show me the page, but the DHCP server on the router is working fine since it allocated me 198.168.1.2 ip by default when I said dynamically obtain an IP address.

Some one pls comment…. as am yet to get confirmation from MTNL about the broadband connection setup.

thanks in advance

Hi Shishir,
I have also bought GLB-502T and i was able to get the Router Admin page and login to it when my ADSL was not activated.

When MTNL created my account, the ADSL LED started glowing (it takes few seconds to start glowing).

And after i configured the router (through the admin page), the PPPoE LED started glowing and net connection was successful.

How r u connecting the Router, via USB or LAN card?

Finally am on and connected … what a relief… Just configured the modem and its up and running , i was using the wrong IP address me bit of partial blind probably (in mind)…
Guys pls ignore my blabbering … but the status is am on and running fine
Cheers!! & Kudos to MTNL probably I feel it was the quick job

AFTER READING THE WHOLE FORUM ABOUT TRIBAND AND ITS PROBLEMS I CAN MAKE OUT THAT EVERY ONE IS NOT HAPPY WITH IT. OK NOW LISTEN TO MY PROBLEM AND KINDLY FIND OUT A SOLUTION FOR IT……

I HAVE A DSL-NU PLAN (590) FOR THE PAST 1 MONTH.
INITIALLY I WAS GETTING GOOD RESPONSE, BUT SINCE PAST TWO WEEKS I FREQUENTLY GET DISCONNECTED AS I NOTICE THE ADSL LIGHT STARTS TO BLINK AND TRIES TO RE-ESTABLISH THE CONNECTION & WEBSITES DONT RESPOND. (THE PPoE LIGHT ALSO GOES OFF)
I HAVE A D-LINK GLB-502T ROUTER. THIS DISCONNECTION SCENE HAPPENS EVERY 8 TO 10 MINUTES AFTER CONNECTING.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE WAYS/METHODS I TRIED TO SOLVE BUT STILL GETS DISCONNECTED :-

1. CALLING 1504 & COMPLAINING
2. GOING TO TELEPHONE EXCHANGE AND COMPLAINING
3. CALLING THE LOCAL TELEPHONE REPAIRMEN AND GETTING ALL DISTURBANCES CLEARED, CHECKED THE LINES,ETC…
4. BOUGHT A NEW ROGET BOX (SPLITTER) AND TRIED MANY DIFFERENT WIRES TO CONNECT THE ROUTER
5. CHANGED THE DNS SERVERS,ETC….
6. FINALLY GOT FED UP OF DISCONNECTION AND SEARCHED GOOGLE FOR SIMILIAR PROBLEMS AND LANDED UP IN THIS FORUM.

THE MTNL PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE OF ANY POSSIBLE THING THAT COULD BE CONFLICTING WITH MY CONNECTION AS IT WAS WORKING FINE INTIALLY.
I HAVE GIVEN UP HOPE TO DOWNLOAD A 20 MB FILE AT ONE SHOT

MY REQUEST TO ALL OF YOU TO TRY AND FIND SOLUTION MY PROBLEM.

I am on Airtel Broadband Now…

I have taken BSNL Broadband Start 250 Plan. For that I have purchased my own Modem i.e. D-link ADSL GLB-502T.I have completed all procidure to install the same via usb port. But unfortunately it doesn’t work as it shows different types of errors. I have called BSNL Guy for help. He told me that this modem can not work properly as it has lack of some technical requirement. Instead of that you take only 502-T modem not GLB-502T modem or make setting again & shut the modem for 5 minutes & restart it. It will work. I did same thing but nothing has happened. I do not know what to do? Kindly help me out.

Hi Hitesh,
Try calling D-Link support. They might guide you.
Even i have purchased GLB-502T and got its configuration by directly contacting D-Link.

See the following link if you are from/near mumbai. See their contact number at top of the page.

Its strange how nobody notices the ridiculous
download limits they impose on people.

Its almost as if dowloading was a corporal offence.
Even their so called nightly plans suck….
as per what I have heard from others.

Dont see why the public sector broad offering has to be so badly placed

Downloads limits suck that is totally true but connection provided by local cable wallahs with unlimited connection is worse than this.

Night Plan is good actually, I had never faced speed problem with it, speeds are always contant.

Hi Deep,
Nice work.
I have opted for Triband 199 plan. and have just got the connection yesterday. I purchased my Own ADSL Router GLB 502T ADSL2+.
The MTNL Person has not yet done any configuration on it.
I had to configure the modem on my own. by referring to the post above by “Sujoy” Dated Aug 16 7:31 PM. i could get through the internet connection. but after few minutes, the PPPoE Light goes off and the ADSL Light Keeps Blinking.
now i have to restart the modem by unplugging the Power from it, remove my telephone connection from it and remove the LAn Cable and reconnect all these back into the modem. even after this the modem may not restart. and suddenly after some time the PPPoE Light would reappear (this happened just twice otherwise every time i had to restart the modem.)

this is DLINK GLB 502T
my problem seems to be similar to that of

Shivesh’s post:
September 2nd, 2006 at 12:50 am

Also can u also tell me how can i connect to my home pc (This Connection) through my Office Internet ?

Ps: and while i am writing this post the Connection is stable and the PPPoE light is continously ON. hope this remains so.

Hi Kiran,
After doing the configuration as provided by DLINK, my net connection was working fine. The next day MTNL person came and did some configuration when i was not at home. He has put a static IP address in my LAN connection although i did not apply for it. But the net connection is working fine.

In my case net gets disconnected if a fone in parallel line is picked up which is normal.

10.3.2006

Thanks Sujay.
I fixed the problem i guess. it was with the adsl Modem i had purchased. the connecton was not remaining stable. it was intermittent. now i have replaced my Router/Modem and the things are fine (till now).

I just wanted to know how do i make my computer available to the Internet (Secured Connection) without having a static IP.
For this i have configured my system with a s/w from no-ip.com which registers my system on the Internet with the Dynamic IP provided for DNS Resolving. currently it is able to resolve the ip address with the address kiranjjain.servehttp.com. but my sites hosted on the IIS Server on the same system are not available on the internet. i have tried disabling the firewall also on the DSL Modem.
when i try to surf kiranjjain.servehttp.com it should open the default website on iis server. but instead it opens the admin login page of the DSL modem. (when i do it from my system) and from internet it gives Page not Found error.

Can anyone sugges how to configure for port forwarding on GLB 502T DLINK Modem/Router.

I have a query. My Triband has been a problem since the time I have bought it.

I am using a GLB502T router.

The PPPoE light doesnot stay ON for more than 5-10 minutes.

The problem has been on since the last 30-35 days. And I have changed my wiring, checked for parallels, cleaned the connectors at the box for eliminating grounding problems. Yet the connection is not ON for more than 10 minutes on an average.

I was given an MTNL router which is working continuously since the last 2 days.

I checked my router at another place – halfway down mumbai. It was working perfectly fine for full 1 day.. continuously.

What could be the problem? Any guesses?

Hi Aryan,
I am Facing a similar problem.
I think the Problem is with the Router GLB502T Getting Heated up quickly.
Try doing this : Keep the router in an open Place upside Down (as the Base of the rtouter needs to be kept heat free) so as to dissipate the heat quickly.
I am facing a similar problem with the above solution, the router keeps working for days together otherwise, it hangs up within 10-15 minutes.

Kiran Jain

Hi deep and others.

I was thinking about taking the dsl nu plan. 1GB download per month and free night downloads right.

About that night free download, i will have to switch off my ADSL modem and then switch it on again after 12 night isn’t.So whatever i then download in the night will not get subtracted from my 1GB monthly data download limit isn’t.

Also what if i forget to switch my adsl modem on/off before 8 am. i mean what happens.

And is there a way to change monthly plans online on do I have to give an application at my nearest MTNL service centre.

I think if you dont switch off the modem then it will count the downloads in paid ones..

For change of plan, you will have to visit local mtnl office. Online it is hopeless.

Thanks for your reply and support deep.
I guess i will just try dsl nu plan from next month and see if its really good or not for one month.

Hi Everyone,
My GLB-502T router has started giving problems after working fine for 4 months.
Although the ADSL led glows properly, the PPPoE led has stopped glowing.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to resolve it.

1.1.2007

I think when you switch your adsl modem off and then on your adsl modem PPPoe LED glows again isn’t it…

If so you have to increase the time for which your ADSL modem stays alive at one given time.

Procedure:
1. Go to http://192.168.1.1 (for D-link adsl modem. for other modems look in your adsl user manual for the modem configuration site etc.)

2. username: admin
password: admin

3. Go to Setup. (top menu)

4. then select ” mtnl ” option (side menu)

5. Look at “Keep alive” option. enter any number in secs or minutes for which you want your adsl modem to be alive (mine is set at 60 min)

6. click Apply.

—

Hope this works… If not you have a hardware problem and you should contact your ADSL modem service centre.

OK then… so deep i heard mtnl has upgraded the triband speed from 1st jan 2007 to upto 2mbps. thats the good news but the bad news is there is no speed upgrade for DSL nu plan. i just saw the latest tariff at mtnl site.

Do you have any information if they are going to upgrade dsl nu plan speed in next 1 or 2 months. i was going to go back to 199P plan at the end of this month unless they are going to give 2 mbps for dsl nu users.

personally i think it will be a big money spinner for mtnl if they provide 2 mbps to dsl nu users. afterall its just usefull from 12 to 8 am to mostly home internet users. 2 mbps with unlimited night downloads would be so great.

I have no ide about internal working of MTNL. On 2mbps move, Actually they are smart i must say. They will make pages load faster or say downloads happen quickly on limited bandwidth plans so people will use those plans more. And they get more returns. Where in Unlimited – they will get only fixed amount every month so they wont plan to introduce 2mbps there.

1.2.2007

Sigh!… I always felt they had some seriously evil people working there at mtnl. well lets hope as science progresses they do give 2 mbps to dsl nu users anytime in near future. till then i am going back to 200P plan from next month.

Edwin

1.7.2007

Apparently MTNL has upgraded their “limited” ADSL to 2Mbps and it works great !

Now I am facing a problem:
1. If I use PPPoE mode, then most P2P ports are blocked and the speed on emule,shareaza,torrents etc is pathetic
2. If I use bridge mode, then the speed is amazing. BUT if the connection gets broken then the dld session is wasted and I will have to disconnect/login again…

As I see it, the only soln is to use PPPoE mode and enable port forwarding on some ports….Any other options ?

2. login
3. goto Setup->Under WAN connections choose the connection Tab (i.e the Tab under Modem).
4. Change Type to Bridge
5. VPI=0 VCI=32 Select LAN=LAN Group 1
(Make sure u select LAN Group 1 or it wont work)
6. goto Tools->System Commands

Dear deep,
just wanted to know that can we receive the detailed billing in the triband offered by MTNL. ie. list of all the sites visited and info of data downloaded..

Rakesh Chohda

2.2.2007

GLB 502T router can be configured as instructed in their manual. MOST IMPORTANT TELEPNONE LINE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY DISTURBANCE. Router’s FIRMWARE NEEDS TO BE UPGRADED & IT HAS OVERHEATING Problem, due, which it gets, disconnected… blow air through the cooling ports and it will again reconnect. As in deeps blog, (mentioned above) keep the router upside down or inclined to keep its heated airflow upward for sufficient cooling. D-Link should come out with the solution. Is their R&D being done at customer cost?

Guys, BSNL broadband have reduced their rates substantially. They offer 1GB for Rs.250 and an incredible 2.5GB for only Rs.500 (effective Jan 07). Check out their rates at: http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm

In contrast MTNL Triband looks expensive at Rs.399 for 700MB and Rs.749 for only 1.25GB. Their rates are at: http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm#tariff

Consdidering that MTNL caters to the big metros of India one would think that they would offer better rates than BSNL that caters to only smaller towns.

How can we bring this to the attention of MTNL and have them change their rates in light of the above? (I cannot wait to get my hands on the Rs.500-for-2.5GB plan

Any thoughts?

MTNL offers better plan in Delhi but their suck in Mumbai, for example, they have unlimited download plan in Delhi for quite sometime but here there is no such plan. Basically MTNL people here are kind of careless, they just want to stick to the stuff they have. (Yea, I know 2 mbps was a good move but introducing some “Good” plan would have been a better move)

~~~Solution to MTNL Night Unlimited Reset Problem:~~~

Firstly go up the page and read my method to configure your router in bridge mode. This is essential.

Go and download this software which I found does the job very well.

from here:
http://tucows.mundofree.com/win2k/preview/38161.html or here :

Note: After you install the program do not run it. Right click on the shortcut of Netlaunch and enable compatibility mode. Set it to Windows 98. I had to do this in Windows XP.

Now you can run the program.

In preferences->connections select your Triband connection. Make Schedule to Disconnect at 11:59pm. Add that. Make Schedule to Connect at 12.01am. Add that. Make Schedule to Disconnect at 8am.
You can also set it to reconnect after disconnection.

Thats it !…the benefit of bridge mode is that you dont need to turn on/off the router at 12am ! you can just connect and disconnect !

Cheers and enjoy all !

last month i got a huge bill of Rs700. I have the plan of Rs199 per month with 400MB download free. I have not downloaded or surfed to receive this amt of bill. Could U plz inform me whether the MTNL employees really use the service. How to change he password of admin at 192.168.1.1 ?? PLz help me out. will the internet connection be there even after changing the password. My internet connection often goes. for two months i didn’t have connection. i did complain but no response from their end. my password keeps on changing automatically. the mtnl employees ask us whether we changed or not. SO PLZ HELP ME OUT

Hi Lina,
Actually changing the password of 192.168.1.1 will not help much, though u should chage it from default admin/admin to admin/
The method of changing this password depends on the make of the ADSL Modem/Router u use. for changing in Dlink GLB502T, just go to User Management under Setup or Tools menu of http://192.168.1.1 and change the password there.

this will just change the password of ur Modem / Router.

What actually u need to change is the password of the account u use. to change the password, go to http://register.mtnl.net.in and login
on the subsequent page select “Change Service Password” on the left hand side menu (6th Option)
the old password is the CA No. appearing on ur Telephone bill.
After changing this password, u will have to reconfigure ur ADSL Router to incorporate this password into the Router. to do this,

Step 1 : Log into the web configuration of the router by typing the IP address http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. A prompt for user name and password should appear. Type â€˜adminâ€™ as username and password which u would have changed in step 1 above under Usermanagement of Router

Step 2 : Click on setup and then the existing connection for PPPoE. Configure the modem as per the values given below:
Change the password here, the password is the new password which u have selected under register.mtnl.net.in site.
Click apply
after this go to Tools and go to service commands
and click save all

This will save the New password into the Router.
DONE!!!

if any difficulties, pls write back

Hello,
I am using VOIP s/w called Sifys Way2talk. Thru this I am unable to make a call.

I am user of MTNL Broadband (400 p.m) pack.

My other VOIP s/w is working and Yahoo Voice chat is happening thru this.

Its only when I use this Way2talk it blocked. I feel there is something which is blocking from my DLink modem. Also my Firewall is also off.

Hope to here from you soon.

Thankx

3.8.2007

@Priyanka:
I have no idea how to configure your modem.But most modems can be configured thru http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0…the username is generally admin or root

@Lawrence:
MTNL may be blocking access to the sify VOIP gateway..if so u will not be able to do anything…
try another VOIP software such as http://www.gizmocall.com which is anyway cheaper than Sify

and another thing…The MTNL login screen at register.mtnl.net.in is not encrypted and the password is in plain text ( I was able to see my username and password using a packet sniffer)….so theoretically if MTNL runs a packet sniffer at their gateway they can sniff out anything they like…

Has anyone tried using the username and password to access the internet on another phone ? ( I mean surf the net, not just login at register.mtnl.net.in)

I followed your solution and configured my modem to Bridge mode.

The problem is that NetLaunch is unable to connect to the internet at any scheduled time. It can disconnect from the internet at a scheduled time if I am already connected but cannot reconnect automatically

Please help!

Maybe NetLaunch does not work with your PC…try and download another dialer…there are plenty of them available on the net. I suggested this one cause it was free

Hi,
I am using the D-Link GLB-502T and setup was hell until I came across your site and got the bridge setup done.

Now I have a new problem. I have just got a macbook and and an airport expess for wireless connection. I am now back to square one with setting it up as the connection is a bridge connection and not a PPPoE connection.
I need to set up a base station as they call it in Apple talk and then set up the PPPoE connection. Since the GLB-502T is set up in Bridge mode, obviously that did not work. When setting up the PPPoE connection settings it gave a message saying that the base station needs to be set up in Bridge mode, which I did. Even after that I am still not able to connect to the net.

I have now connected directly via ADSL – not wireless and am able to connect to the net that way.

Has anyone tried to connect the GLB-502T with a wireless set up? I think the problem and solution should be similar regardless of the make of the wireless device.

Would really appreciate a reply and possible solution – I’ve spent the entire weekend banging my head on this!

4.23.2007

Hi Deven,
I have set up Wireless Many Times with GLB 502T. It really Doesnt Matter in which mode u are connecting to internet. it may be bridge or PPPoE. Just one tweak, Connect the Cable from ur ADSL Router to the LAN Port of your Wireless instead of the WAN Port. this will bring both the devices on the same network. Just ensure that ur wireless is allowing only ur computer (may be password Protected, WEP Key Enabled or MAC Address Based.)
u may call me if u want.

MTNL outsources the Triband with some other private sector company, they r not allowed to touch the servers and the company person comes and solves the problem if any ,
thats why u get bad support ,
i think they should outsource the helpdesk too with that company.

6.19.2007

I am having MTNL Triband Internet connection. I have tried to configure wireless connection to my existing MTNL connection.

I have a D-Link ADSL 502T wired router and a linksys wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54GC. In the wireless router all the ports are for rj-45. I don’t know where to connect my phone line port, which is of rj-11 type.

I connected Internet port of linksys wireless router with my existing wired d-link router but no luck.

My question is do I need d-link wired router (502T) in the whole wireless setup?

My Configuration:

Linksys Wireless router IP 192.168.1.5
D-Link ADSL router IP 192.168.1.1

laptop1 —— linksys —– D-Link ADSL — phone line.

When my laptop is connected with wireless router, I can’t ping my ADSL(192.168.1.1), it says request timeout.

Can anyone please help me in this regard.

Warm Regards,
Naseem Khan

Hi Naseem,
Yes u will need both ADSL as well as ur Linksys Router
to Configure the same, follow these steps :
1. Configure ur ADSL so that internet is available to ur comp with wired network.
2. Configure ur Comp to Communicate to The Wireless Router (Linksys)
Now Connect the Network Cable Coming from ur Adsl into one of the RJ45 ports of Linksys
Ur DNS and Gateway of ur wireless network card on ur comp should be that of ADSL i.e. 192.168.1.1
After this ur Computer should be able to Ping to 192.168.1.1
if it pings ur system is ready for wireless Internet
if required call me on +919820444236

Ayush

hey guys looks like most of you guys are hapy with MTNL.
But not me.
I have a 2 mbps connection and get a download speed of 45 kbps max.I read that someone said tat download speed depends on connection speed by 8.
that is for me 2048/8=256. and i get 45 kbpsfrom every website/server. i even tried http://WWW.speedtest.net and it gave me 60kbps and a ping of 1300ms.

And more over my adsl gets disconnected every 10 minutes and i cannot even play any online games properly because of low speed and frequent disconnections.I tried to contack MTNL Costumer care but no use they say they will send someone and that person would never reach my home.I waited for 2 months and called them every 3 days.and finally after 2 months one man came and changed the line from Distribution Port and that increased the disconnection time from 10 minutes to 20 minutes.
Thats My story

6.24.2007

Ayush,
which is the ADSL Modem u are using ? is it GLB 502 T From DLink ? if so, check if it gets heated up. the frequent disconnection problem may be because of this ir may be the problem is with ur telephone line. as u said the download speed is slow, try surfing the net during night hours.i get 2Mbps speed. ur disconnection and speed problem seems to be of Telephone line disturbance or Parallel line connection. for this use a splitter.
I face the problem of disconnection when i get a call on mtnl line and is received. if it is not received, it does not disconnects. after this is reconnects and when the phone is hung up then too Internet disconnects.

Kiran Jain

I also have problem of internet disconnection when we use the phone. Once you switch off the modem and switch on it gets connected in two minutes.

Also, I plan to be abroad for six months. What is the most economical way to keep the phone and DSL connection in safe custody. Also I don’t want to wait for a long period for the service to satrt when I come back.Urgent please.

I have Rs.399 per month connection + Rs.80 for the modem.

Thanks in advance.

my pc reboots when i enable my internet account..please reply to the query..have i got infected by virus

7.6.2007

Disconnection problems/while picking up phone :
The cause of this is high capacitance on parallel telephone lines due to long length. You can solve this by putting filters on every parallel telephone connection. There is 1 input and 2 outputs on a splitter. You will only need to use the Line input and Tel output i.e. DSL output will be unused. Filters are available for about Rs 100.

Slow speeds:
I have found one cause of slow speed to be the USB connection. Second cause of slow speed is distance from the exchange. Third cause of slow speed is old and rusted wiring to your ADSL modem.

Sharing ADSL connection/VOIP ATA:
For this the ideal mode for the router is PPPOE.I have configured my GLB-502T to connect to my Linksys PAP2 through the LAN port while it connects to my PC through USB, so I can use the ATA even when the PC is off. If you dont want to use USB conn then get a 8-port switch and plug the wires (no configuration needed). Make sure that both LAN and USB are on LAN Group 1 in the config. In the same way you can connect it to a Wi-Fi router.

phone line goes to the d-link modem.
Connect a LAN cable from modem to one of the LAN ports of Linksys ,and connect your PC on one of the other switch ports. Do not use the Internet port of Linksys at all. You should be good to go with this setup!

Hi,
I once formated my PC and reinstalled Windows XP SP2. After that I set my LAN settings to “Automatically detect settings”.
Now I am not able to access net. I shows the message “Page cannot be displayed”.

Can anybody help me out.

7.12.2007

I assume most MTNL\ADSL guys use D’Link 502T modem.
From the email it seems the computer is unable to obtain an IP address from the DSL-502T router.

Try performing the steps mentioned below to resolve the issue.

Power cycle the router. Un-plug the power cable and plug it back after 20 seconds.

After the link lights on the router are stable, restart the computer.

Verify whether the computer is obtaining an IP address from the router.

Click Start > Run. Type in CMD and press Enter. At the prompt, type in ipconfig and press Enter.

This will display the adapter information such as IP address, Subnet mask, and default gateway.

To view additional information such as Mac address, DNS servers, etc, type in ipconfig /all.

To release IP address, type ipconfig /release.

To renew IP address, type ipconfig /renew.

If you are not able to get an IP address try setting one statically:

Step 1: Right-click on My Network Places and select Properties.

Step 2: Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network card and select Properties.

Step 3: Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. Enter your IP information for your network. For example 192.168.1.2.

Make sure the default gateway and a DNS server is the IP address of the router (192.168.1.1).

You can also assign the DNS IP addresses provided by your ISP. If your ISP is MTNL assign the DNS IP addresses as mentioned below.

Preferred DNS : 203.94.227.70
Alternate DNS : 203.94.243.70

My application no is brd07G-18/1 and applied on 18.7.07. Still I have not received any response. My father met exchange official (523, Chembur, Mumbai)and no date was given to him for installation. Don’t know what’s taking them so long.

My bill went up by 17 times to 3605 rupees this month when there has been no special activity. I have been billed only the standard 190rs for over 9 months.
Any idea on how this could have happened?
Can hackers do this?Is there a faulty billing procedure?

I have recently got triband after facing lot of trouble from SIFY broadband who were disconnectig the services every now and then.

Triband is working in good speed (at least 2-3 times faster than SIFY. But the internet gets disconnected the moment telephone call is received. I am using D-Link ASDL 2+ router that has inbuilt splitter. If the splitter is in place then why does the internet gets disconnected? On switching off and on the modem, the internet works again after 2-3 minutes wait. D-Link has not provided power button, so I have to pull out the power wire and push it again to initialise the modem.

Hi all,

I’ve been a user of MTNL Triband on my desktop for the past 2 years and have been fairly satisfied with it.

I am planning to buy a laptop now. I wanted to know if Triband has a wireless facility so that I can continue to use the Triband on the laptop?

IF yes, what modifications would I need to do to my existing modem setup?

Please advise

I’m a new user of MTNL broadband. I have taken up 512KBps connection. My issue is that the connection is higly unstable. It goes off every 30 mts or so. Sometimes, it comes back in 5-10 mts, while sometimes it takes 30 mts or so. The technical support people tried changing the cable, recheckign the wiring but of no help. Its a struggle for me to keep myself online for hours together when required at work. Could you please suggest what could be the issue?

Hi,
I have recently gotten a Triband connection. However, from day 1, the problem is that whenever the phone is off-hook or engage the DSL connection works fine but as soon as the phone is disconnected or placed on hook, the DSL line gets disconnected. This is pretty contradictory to the normal problems faced by most users where the line disconnects after the phone is lifted. I have had the dsl connection checked at the exchange and there seems to be no problem with it. Have even tried changing the ADSL routers and splitters, but there isnt any change in the situation.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Regards,
Ashish K.

Hi,
I am MTNL broad band user with ADSL modem
I am having two locations where I have installed windows – XP and at both places am having broad band connection.
I am trying to use Windows Net Meeting for desktop sharing purpose from both places.
I have already installed net meeting on desktop of both PC’s
To dial another computer – I needed proper Internet IP.
SO I got that IP from one of the internet site called as myipaddress.com. My IP was like 54.120…… something.
To my surprise when I dial through net meeting – always message comes – other person not able to receive your net meeting call. Where as at the other end there is no call received at all.
I tried to ping the other PC through our regular ping command – to my surprise – both PC’s ping for each other without any problem.
I am not new to Net Meeting concept as I had worked this previously from other type of connections in my office.
But to my frustration – it seems it is not happning only in MTNL tri band connection.
I had even gone ahead to disable my firewall from both sides.
Nothing working………….
I need desperate help from sombody……..As am going totally mad…………..
If any one knows any further settings to be carried out, please let me know.
Or please give me someones phone number to whom I can speak and get guideance.

Hi,
Nice post, really helpful.

I was thinking of going for TriB 200p plan.

As I understand, whenever I access any website, it will download contents and I am allowed 400mb every month in the plan. If I exceed that, I need to pay Re. 1 per mb.

Would MTNL charge for telephone calls during internet usage. ..? Right now, I just have incoming calls on my mtnl land line …?

Also, are there any hidden charges apart from modem & monthly subscription.

Thanks in advance for the response.

–Sam

Hi Sam

Just don’t think of measuring any download to ensure whether you will exhaust all 400 MB download.

Just relax – enjoy all your web site
In a day we hardly spend 3- 4 hours on internet

SO nothing normally goes as extra download charges
so dont worry on that

And MTNL definately will not charge for any calls during internet usage. It not like your telephone meter is on during that time. No No – please remove that from mind. You can keep your PC on internet entirely from morning to night. It will not take away in telehone call charges. Yes – you have to mind about electricity charges.

Apart from monthly rent of Rs 80/- for modem I suppose and fixed monthly rent as per plan – ther are no hidden charges.
Billing of telephone is also neet, particualr and without any problems

So just relax – you have got good thing with good speed and connectivity – Enjy the world of information

Bye

I have 512kbps upto 10GB download broadband connection from MTNL Delhi. It was working fine for last 1 year. But since september, it is giving me trouble. It hardly works for more than 10 minutes without disconnection. Its very very irritating & frustating now. I have logged so many complaints with MTNL Customer care(1504). But MTNL people are not able to resolve the issue. These people have just no way to reach upto the root cause of the problem. They are still working as if they are in 19th century. They don’t have instruments to check where the connection is breaking. I think now I need to switch to some other service provider. As a last minute check just want to seek help from you if someone has any solution for this problem. Thanks in advance for all advise & guidance to resolve this.

Hey guys,MTNL broadband service is actually the most costliest service available in India.If u don’t believe me,check out private ISP’s like Sify,GNS etc.The private ISP’s speed levels r reaching the 256kbps speed mark,which is same as MTNL surfing speed.With other good features like unlimited downloads and LAN,MTNL is gonna go out of race soon.

i want to know whether uploading anything is also considered in the downloaded amount.

@ Prashant
Uploading is not considered as download

@Prashant – as far as I know, it is counted.. check the usage summary in your online account..

1.20.2009

I feel what kiran says is right but is there anyway I can check as the usage summary does not give details about uploaded content and the usage calculated comes out to be same as downloaded content.

When my friend had contacted one of the MTNL guys, he confirmed that uploads are counted but when I had contacted, theys said uploads are not counted… so, no one is sure.. but I think they must be counting as they dont mention download anywhere, they just say, total usage.

I will see if I can monitor it using our server firewall

I have an MTNL Triband connection to my PC. I want to convert it to a Wi-Fi so that I can use it on my laptop as well. Is that possible? I am using the MTNL modem presently. What change will be required?

Hey MTNL TRIBAND is run by a bunch of FAGGETS or what?

I use this since September 2008 minor hiccups here & there to hell with the previous problems.

Since Last Week…

It shows my Upload speed as 259 kbps down from 1024 kbps (1 Mbps). Download speed is same 2042 kbps (2 Mbps).

But due to low upload speed my downloads won’t go above 30 KB/s

WTF is up…I did complaint 3 days back…still no fix!?!

WTF I Think I’d rather freaking pay my local cable-wallah HACK for this Internet.

THIS IS GAY!! For what reason do they lower my upload speed from 1 mbps to 256 kbps???

Yeah I’m on night unlimited plan 849 of mumbai. I PAY THEM PERFECT.

WTF IS THE PROBLEM.

FIX YA THINGS YA FREAKING FAGGETS!!!

Hi! Deep I hv found this blog after a Google search and came to a conclusion that you are god at MTNL broadband, keep it up. I live in Delhi and using mtnl’s “TriB Combo Unlimited P” plan and the bill came near-about Rs.716 monthly(too costly for me). I usually like to surf on net and download sometimes. But now I want to change my plan. So, what would be the suitable plan for me? Should I go for “TriB 399″ with 2GB monthly free data or “TriB 199″ with 600MB monthly free data? And would these plans came with night 12-8 free download scheme?

Here seems to be a lot of information on MTNL Triband.

Although i did not go through all the question/inputs, so if the answer to my query is available just let me know and you woud not have to re-iterate.

I have the D-Link ADSL 502T router for my connection. I want to get myself a wireless connection to share the internet service b/w my desktop n laptop.

I did not receive enough inforamtion when i called 1504.

I wanted to know, that to get a wireless connection set up, do we require only a router or a modem and a router (in combonation) ?

And MTNL mentions that they give online support to setup the wirless connection if we have our own router. Do we ?

Appreciate your reply.

Look firstly all of you are better off with your own Router or CPE as you may call it.

Don’t get that from MTNL. D-Link 802 model is the new one & it comes for like 1200 bucks. You’re better off with that.

Secondly for sharing your internet or making it wireless like Sneha asked,

Well you need a Wireless ADSL router for that it comes for around 2000 – 3000 bucks.

MTNL does indeed provide that as per their site tariff plan

They charge 800/month for that instead off 500 for the normal one here’s the link check it, scroll down & see

http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/triband/htm/tariff.htm

Deepak You need to check the “Downloaded Volume” column. Total volume will be more coz it’s the total of upload + Download. MTNL only charges you for downloads not uploads.

So you should check/pay for the Download column only depending on your Triband Plan.

Hope all this helps to everyone.
