hello friends u have already seen my previous post on how to check BSNL broadband balance here is the updated list
i have also recently taken a BSNL 250 plan bcoz i am also net user,so start the story
Unless you use an unlimited plan, your bill will be based on your usage data as recorded by BSNL. If we use more than the allowed limit, we need to pay extra for this usage. Even if we are careful, some virus infection in our system can increase the chargeable units to a dangerous extent. It can happen even if you have a very good antivirus. Therefore it is important to monitor the usage closely. Unfortunately BSNL fails to provide useful information to its users. Many of us rely on a single BSNL site we managed to identify for monitoring the usage.
BSNL sites do not update on a real time basis and is neither dependable as it has a very high downtime due to maintenance and billing activities. From 1st to 5 th of every month, BSNL sites are totally unreliable as they are used for billing purposes than updating user details. If you are a new user, your usage details may not appear for about 2 weeks. From my personal experience, I can tell you that BSNL may update the usage on 1st of month on 20 th. I ended up with a huge bill after they did this to me.
Another common error is that many believe usage means only download. BSNL calculates your usage as download + upload. If we use internet just for browsing, it will cost around 15 MB per hour in your usage stats. It is impossible to manually calculate the usage. Please use the following methods.
BSNL allots two server IPs. One of the format 117.xxx.xxx.xxx and other 59.xxx.xxx.xxx. If your IP starts with 59.xxx, options other than option 3 may not work for you.
In that case, Check here. To check your IP, Click here.

How to Check BSNL Broadband Usage details – Methods
There are 3 sources to check your usage. 1 BSNL portal, 1 Independent software and 1 BSNL software.
1. BSNL Portal , values in MB, user friendly.
Connection with IPs 59.xxx.xxx.xxx
2. Both these sites can be down at times. BSNL sites do not update on real time basis. Today's usage is shown after 2 days. So most of us use a Bandwidth meter.

3. A software from BSNL can help us check the usage without using the portal. Click here to download.
BSNL also provides SMS and email alerts when you cross your usage limit. You can also receive weekly alerts.

Option 1 needs a 14 digit Portal ID and password from BSNL. Password is usually password.
Eg. for portal ID:
ABC+++25102008, where
ABC from my surname, +++ a 3 digit no. , 25102008 date of broadband application. If you do not have this, check with your local exchange. They normally keep this in their records. A phone call can fix it for you.
Your BSNL email ID will receive email alerts when the usage limit is crossed. Always ask your exchange for email ID. If you try to use option 3, it will ask for your BSNL email ID.
Use option 1 , log in using Portal ID and password and check for the email link on the upper part of the page.
