Bad Luck...or should I say Hard Luck :(

[DataOne]

As every day .....i shutdown by computer before 2 am....(This time it was 1.53 am....).i say this from THE EVENT VIEWER in MS Windows XP Pro available under Administrative toools

I then again started the PC 5 minutes after 2 am.

Then Connected to BSNL Server.......THE EVENT VIEWER says 2.07. (I use RASPPPoE)


Today when i opened my DataOne usage details to enter to Excel Sheets ...... i was SHOCKED to see that my START TIME Field was set to 1.57 am and Stop time to around 6.30 am in one of the recent entries.

:blink: I recheked but ,,,,I guess the BSNL server is lagging by 10 minutes.
(((( My PC automatically Synchronises with time.windows.com every 3rd day.)))


It won't make much difference but but.,,,,,,,I guess i'll have to pay around 137 Rs *more* for losing to the BSNL server TIME as I already crossed the Free Usage Limit.

Just wanted to share so that u all don't download like 500 MB from 2.05 am to 7.55 am are shocked to see its like from 1.55 to 7.45 am

Guess the *safest* option would be starting at 2.30 and ending at 7.30 !

U c the world 5 mins before the BSNL people do !! Hehehe !!Maybe they dont know that all cities in INDIA follow the same time !! Acc to the no. of longitudes spread across the width of our country, i guess the max. time difference should be 15 mins as per the book definition. But v adopt a common time. Jus call some higher official and ask them to get it synchronised. Or better start downloading from 2 :30 .Btw, this being ur first post, it was very informative. Have to check my usages too. Welcome aboard !

@ Vikii

Thanks....well we joined this forum at nearly the same time! But, i've been a *reader* all this while

@ Abdul Rehman

Surely, I'll give feedback! (But thats after say 25 days...when i receive Sept '05 bill)

Yes their clock has been lagging by 10 minutes since 26th September and many people were caught unawares. I had also been trapped for one day and then re-adjusted the clock of my computer. Last evening too I had logged in at 18.35 and their logs showed that I had logged in at 18.25.. Today morning I logged off at 8.05am.. surprise.. the log shows that I had logged off at 8.01.30How long do they think they can drag us around :angry: @DataOne Welcome Aboard Mate

@ PapuDada

Thanks a lot Papu Dada......me a great fan of yours !

Well...an ingenious approach ....would be running a shceduled task which would automatically run to login/Re-login at 2.30 am and again at 7.30 am.

For RASPPPoE users
>> There's a tool called RASPhone which can be run from the "Run Window" in MS Windows.

>> For configuration try "RASPhone /help" from the Command Prompt and then tweak in as per given. :wub:

[Sushubh]

[pupudada]

Yes.. easy for you to say, cause you're on the safest and best island.. `Airtell' *sigh* when will they come to Kolkata

 

[Sushubh]

when will they come to panchkula

 

[pupudada]

Airtell has come to Kolkata, but their nearest service point is about half a km from my place. According to their officers, we shall be getting the same in about another 3-4 months
