Hi...I just received the Pack of Data One from those "Telephone People" & after that I found this forum !I had lots of enquiries and after going through some of the "postings" here, it turned into "QU"...Questions Unlimited !!I applied for 250 Home plan (Currently I am using that VSNL Dial Up Networking (100 Hrs)). Still I have not got username password from BSNL. Now QUs !...1) I have choosed to outrite purchase of Type-1 Modem from BSNL (Rs 1200). Is it a good decision?2) I have not any NIC & probably will buy today. Can anyone advise any specific model and appx price of that ?3) I have 2 USB port. One is permanently engaged because of my "USB Mouse". Another I use for Printer and sometimes for Digital Camera. Now if I install ADSL with USB port, will it be a clever work ? It seems, then I have to frequently interchange those USB Jacks.4) Is it easy to install NIC ? I am not from IT background.4) What will I have to do now... if I manage to install the NIC successfully today. The physical connection seems understandable to me. They gave me 2 CDs. One is User manual CD & other one ishaving a folder named "PPPoE". In which order I will go to install the software ? Is it a easyuser friendly Wizard ? ( I have WIN 98 SE OS)5)They are taking Rs 250 I guess for installation charge. will any technical person from BSNLcome to my premises at any point of time to see and help me the whole installation process ? both Hardware andSoftware? Or I have to do it by myself ?6) If I can manage (hope so !) to install the software properly...then what ? How they used to inform the user name & password and after receiving it, what exactly will I have to do ?7)Can I use my old dial Up system once this "dataone" is running ok? (Obviously by switchingadapter modem etc) i.e will these two system can run parallelly ?These were my primary questions but after joining the forum ....8)Am I going to do a foolish thing by taking Broadband from BSNL ? It seems other providers are(like Airtel etc) giving better service ? It seems, many of you had already some bitter experience.9)Will this ADSL Router from BSNL work with other service providers ?10)I have taken Home 250 Scheme. Will it be viable atall? It has no NU !!! facility. What willI have to do to change plan ? Can I change it right now ?11) Is there any chance that these NU and extra Usage charges problem be sorted out in near future?12)I have to use net 1 hour per day in average (only surfing, sometime with small downloads).Will Home250 plan is OK for that ? if not, Please advise me the best plan. OK yaar...lets bemore flexible .... 1 and half hour usage daily with some more downloads !!! 13)How much they will charge in first month ? Is it 1200 + 250 (Inst. Chr) + 250 (Rental) + Tax?14)Home 250 gives a total of 0.4 GB. Say, It go up to 1 MB at the end of the month. Appx. howmuch extra will I have to pay for that ? (Mone hochhe, dhaker daye monsha bikrir jogar hobe !! )15) I am using Parallel Phone lines with the help of Phone Socket. Will it hamper the speed ?16)Why so frequent changing of user name & password is required ? I am feeling chilled !!!17)What is the "Patch"? I have downloaded it. When & why I have to install it ? and at last ... the last one !!!18) What is the procedure to leave the service ? !!!
