Because I waited for them to credit another 150 GB in my account but it didn't happen automatically hence had to call CC.When I called the CC the lady on the other end was shocked to know that how come did a such a large amount of data got used up in such short period 😛layful:Manish24 said:

Ohh Mumbai 1650 3G UL Plan gone!! Now only 999 promotional left. dunno if 999 will be the new 1650 plan will have to wait till 22/5 for news. MTNL pls bring 3G UL plans on lower rates than 999...pls
So BSNL upgraded their BTS at my place from 1G to 3G directly kind of. (yeah this site was running on 1G GPRS specs @57.6 kbps not even EDGE for so many years, finally they come to some senses.).As a result now the BTS is giving EDGE (236 kbps) and some real nice HSPA+ signal (21mbps).
Hence decided to give up my old MTNL Delhi sim which was lying idle & collecting dust, some running up & did a test recharge. And got some real nice speeds (3-4mbps). After some hesitation finally did the 1650 recharge to test for a month. So got 200 GB data credited (should be enough for a month hopefully).
Since my place is almost a km from the BTS, hence the coverage is really patchy on ground floor only get 2-3 bars max. Finally found some sweet spots where the signal on the phone 3 bars (-99 dBm) yet I'm getting a consistent 8 mbps (1 MBps transfer), even with 2 bars on the speed is 6-7 mbps & 4 mbps with 1 signal bar.
A friend has a spare dongle he isn't using currently(yup don't wanna fuck up my phone's battery), will get the dongle to continue testing uptime & speed consistency just so as it doesn't turnout to be a headache. Of course the landline broadband is always gonna be there for the tasks for which stability is the requirement.
Since there is no other alternative at my place except BSNL broadband (no reliance or cable isp), hopefully this will be the salvation. Also if anyone else in Delhi currently using this plan confirm whether they re-credit the 200 GB cap or not if one has used it up, else probably gonna find out in next 3 weeks?

Enjoy..I started my forum days here with this one..
Rj27, where are you based?
So an update, it seems they have auto credit another 200 GB already. Feels heavenly coming from those shitty FUPed 512 kbps broadband plans. Hope it continues till some wired alternatives come to my area 🙂
if you mean that any data left over from your 200 gb is carried forward to next month , then no , 200 gb validity is 30 days only,been using it since 2011 since the only alternative to me is mtnl wired line but this works out better then any plans they have i get a stable 1mbps in morning which goes to 2mbps after 6 pm and from 10 to 11 pm it is non stop 3.5 the max in delhi i can get .
of coerce it has is problems some times you can hardly browse in mornings , sometimes it disconnects every 2 mins or so most of times things work out in couple of hours . then only time i had to call CC was in Nov when they some how managed to cap my speeds to 50 kb , speaking to them or any one for that matter din't help, it worked out on in it's own albeit after nearly 40 days !!!!
In Haryana, mine is a rural/semi town area, BTS saturation shouldn't be an issue at my place. It looks like currently I'm the only one leeching the site 🙂
No I meant that when I checked the data balance via ussd *446# it showed balance as like 195 GB, 200 GB both alongwith date of validity (screenshot in above post). So is it showing 350 GB or just a weird way of reporting. On the first day when i started with a 500 MB 3 day trial pack it showed only the MB balance as per pack. So after checking speeds for a day, next I recharged with the 1650 pack, then the balance started showing as 200 GB, 85 MB remaining from trial pack. Later when trial pack validity was over, it started showing 2 data balance yet again or is it the same with everyone else using it (a new screenshot of data balance is below).
Since I'll most probably be through with the 200 GB within 15-20 days (already done 50 GB in 3-4 days thanks to office holidays & weekend😛). With kind of speeds I'm getting, data forwarding question doesn't even arise.
