Well friends, sorry if I have linked to another forum, but it is the only way to make you all aware of the acute danger that lies ahead for you all BSNL users.
With respect to Mr. Mehta's posts in another thread (link given above), I want to know your opinions please. BSNL had offered `Free Night Usage' between the hours 2am to 8am. This had been specified in their website. There were no details given that one would have to log off before 2am and re-login again after 2am.. and then log-off again before 8am.
When I questioned the helpdesk of `BSNL' in Kolkata (conversation recorded), I asked specifically `(a) If I login at 1.30am and continue till 4am; (B) If I login at 3am and log off at 8.30am'.. the person on the other side said that they have the means to check that and only the time between (a)1.30am to 2am; and (B) 8am to 8.30am; would be charged. This entire thing is being contradicted by what Mr. Mehta has written. Are their different sets of rules for different circles of `BSNL'?
When I pointed out the problem of the servers' clock being advanced by 10 minutes to Mr. Mehta, the advise given was that one should login at 2.30am and log off at 7.30am.. Well why cant they change their offer to, say between, 1.30am to 8.30am and request people to login by 2am and log-off by 8am? This is also the first time I've heard the request from an ISP requesting me to change my clock according to the time of that in their servers!
One thing is for sure... BSNL knew that its servers clock were advanced by 10 minutes due to resetting of it's servers. They should have notified everyone immediately about the same. This post clearly shows that the problems started on the 22nd of October.

Mr. Mehta has clearly stated that if there is a difference of upto 15 minutes it will be rebated, so can I be sure that I will be rebated for this usage shown below the thread above? My excess was just 2 minutes and 10 seconds. What will happen to lacs of users who are not on any forums and thus do not know about these details... Simple.. they will be billed, and God help them if they have been using their own clock for the days after 22nd of October... Taking into consideration of 5lac users @9 days (22nd to 30th October) @600MB (and accepting that they had planned to fully utilize their daytime usage and make full benefit of the free night usage).. The charges per person would stand as follows:
600MB x 9 x Rs.1.20 = Rs.6480 per user x 5,00,000 users = Rs.324,00,000,00/- (Rupees Three Hundred and Twentyfour Crores)
I guess the time has come for us to really go en-masse to the offices of `BSNL' and clarify things out. How long should we be treated as `trash'? I do hope that I get positive replies from you all and any additional inputs are most welcome. Thanks a lot for your time!
