BSNL launches DataOne- India's most awaited Broadband service

BSNL's Broadband service -- DataOne was launched officially on 14 January, 2005 simultaneously in the metros of Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

BSNL's DataOne is supposed to provide data at speeds between 256Kbps and 2Mbps, 4.5 times faster than the regular dial-up. BSNL also promises to add Video on Demand and Broadband TV like services. The rollout that began on 14 January 2005 is expected to cover 200 cities in the next two months.

While at the launch of DataOne at Chennai, Shri N Ram, Editor – The Hindu said that the existing 7 million Internet userbase was very small when compared to the 90 million Internet users in China. It's also been observed that all the Internet users in China were virtually Broadband users. Continuing with his speech, he said "The success of Broadband in these countries can be attributed to the Broadband policies designed by those countries. Similarly to ensure the success of Broadband in India, we too need to have an effective policy that would ensure its penetration into the rural areas while making it popular in the urban India."

DataOne services, launched on 14 January 2005 shall be provided on the existing copper infrastructure. Subsequent to high speed Internet service, other services such as VPN, multicasting, video conferencing, video-on-demand and broadcast application shall also be added. Broadband service will be provided through the deployment of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line technology. ADSL allows copper telephone pairs to be used to provide a Broadband connection. It provides 'always-on' Internet that is automatically established once the PC and ADSL modem are switched on.

The broadband network will consist of different sizes of Digital Subscriber Line Access multiplexers (DSLAMs) which represent first point of presence for broadband customers. The DSLAM shall provide access upto 20 Mbps based on ADSL/ ADSL 2plus ITU –T G992.1/G992.3 and G992.5. They are connected to LAN switches, which aggregate the traffic coming from all DSLAMs of a city into a Gigabit Ethernet link over dedicated fiber. The network shall be centrally managed from Network Operating Centres (NOC) located at two sites one of them being the master at Bangalore and the other disaster recovery site at Pune.

I have been paying Rs. 650 per month (installation charge was Rs. 1200) for 64 kbps (advertized speed, the real download speed is like 3 kBps, absolutely sucks) ever since I moved back to India and now BSNL is offering 256 kbps for only Rs. 500 (Rs. 500 modem charge). Great deal! I am going to subscribe starting February.

:yes:

The plan is to use this BSNL service for 6 months and then ditch it. Remember, there's no 1 GB cap crap for the first six months (when you sign up b4 March) :laugh:

What do you expect for Rs.500. Moon !! :o

And the fact that BSNL came out with a Broadband should be appreciated. I have nothing to do with any telecom company , I am just a ordinary Indian citizen. Once people get used to 256K, they will want more and for that want they will be ready to pay more. Simple economics. Instead of acting in a typical old indian fashion, be happy of the changes happening. Grow up.

When?

How much?

I am not working in the Sales dept nor am i the owner so i dont know about the COST ...

But i am sure it will be fitting into every Middle Class family's budget ...

The testing has already been started and 4 months have elapsed .... Its been given to all the BIG SHOTS of the company ppl .... the testing trial period is over and we are just waiting for the TRAI ( telecom regulatory authority of India ) to cut some costs ( for mobile ) which we are plannin to pass 100% to the customers ...

So that we can get a clear picture of the cost that we can levy on the customers ..

we are also waiting for the Mukesh-Anil fight to settle down a little bit ( 2 bros of the company who are fighting for equal stake )

no more comments

and btw i dint know about the 6 months no data limit if u can elaborate or send me a PM or email wud b gr8 :)

my little bro is spendin 2 much money on dial-up

First of the three photos has this text on it (you can see that it's there but it's not clear in the pic):

EARLY BIRD BONANZA

For all Home and Business subscribers joining before March 31, 2005, additional usage charges (Rs/MB) will not be levied upto June 30, 2005

the 1gb limit isnt that bad for the people who only reads email or online forums..

    • "The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months¨ I'd prefer to see the lowest price in over a year
    • Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
