Does BSNL provide PC for broadband access ?

BSNL has tied up with HCL Infosystems Ltd. to launch the BSNL HCL PC for DataOne broadband customers in the country. For further details about pricing and configuration please check at www.bsnl.co.in.

TECHNICAL Capability of The Backbone

The Broadband Service will be given through the state of the art Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) based IP Infrastructure, which is designed to provide reliable routes to cover all possible destinations within and outside the country. Layer 1 of the network will consist of a high speed Backbone comprising of 24 powerful Core Routers connected with high speed 2.5 Gbps(STM-16) links. The routers are located on the national DWDM network interfacing at STM-16 optical level to provide for high transmission speeds.

Difference between Dataone Home and Dataone Business Both of these connections offer high speed Internet access respectively for home and office environment. In DataOne for business connecting more than one computer may be allowed along with other features like extra email addresses, domain name, web hosting space , static IP (Select Plans only) etc.

Difference between Download and Upload

When the information flows from somewhere e.g. a web-page or a site to your PC you are downloading. On the other hand when you send information e.g. request for a web-page, you are uploading.

How to instal ADSL?

Once your connection comes through, an installation pack consisting of the CPE and installation guide will be sent to you. If you have requested BSNL for installation, a technician will visit and complete the installation for you. If you are buying your own Modem you can still request for installation on payment of the requisite charges. We will, however, only support equipment supplied by us.

What is an IP address?
When you are connect to the Internet, your PC is automatically allocated an IP(Internet Protocol) address to identify it to the outside world. There are two types of IP addresses, dynamic and static. Dynamic IP address changes from session to session while static IP address is permanently allocated to the customer and always remains same.
BSNL DataOne provides both dynamic and static IP. However the static IP is given only in Business 5000 and Business 9000 plans.

Why need static IP address?

A static IP address may be required for certain services or applications you use. These typically include: 1.Running your own mailserver (SMTP inbound). 2.Many VPN (virtual private network) implementations require one or both sides of the VPN to have a static IP address. 3.If you are connecting to your company network and need access through their firewall.

Contention or contention ratio

To provide a cost effective service - all ADSL services are contended (shared).

These contention ratios are applied in the backbone and international part of the network.
A commonly applied contention rate is 50 : 1. All customers are guaranteed the plan rate up to the local exchange or the ADSL equipment to which they are connected. On the shared part of the network a 50:1 contention ratio would mean that a 256kbps connection would be shared by 49 others.

Contention or contention ratio ...contd.

In reality this is very unlikely to happen and the customer would find the connection much faster than dial-up modems. ADSL relies on individual users not making unreasonable traffic demands on the network to provide fast access speeds for all. If you are not getting the speed you expect, it can be due to the contention ratio but also to many other factors including the congestion at the remote site you are accessing.

What can I do with 1 GB download?

One GB is 1024 Megabyte or 1073741824 bytes. You can do the following with 1 GB download limit : 1. An average web page is about 50 kilobytes in size so you could download around 20,000 web pages for 1 gigabyte. 2. An hour of surfing the web would be around 10 megabytes (200 pages) so you could surf non-stop for about 100 hours for 1 gigabyte. 3. An hour of streamed radio would use about 15-20 MB. 4. An hour of streamed video uses around 100-150 MB.

What can I do with 1 GB download?

5. Playing an online game typically uses about 10-15 megabytes per hour. 6. Emails are very small - so 100 emails would be just 1 megabyte - or 100,000 emails for 1 gigabyte! (of course the attachments count extra) 7. A super-high resolution (5-6 megapixel) digital camera JPEG picture or typical MP3 music file is about 2-3 megabytes so you could download 350-500 of these images/music files for 1 gigabyte. Very few users would actually exceed the download limits set.
