Ok this is just my nightmare turning true here.. There is this site http://register.mtnl.in where you can see your usage. Does this show the same amount ? Do you look at this freq. or u got conned by the 'MTNL hai to sahi (lootnewala) hai' crap..
The site is http://register.mtnl.net.in/. Yes, I had been checking my usage regularly up until July end. Although the session usage report displayed beyond the allotted 500MB for the NU plan (downloaded SuSE 9.3 Pro DVD - 4.3GB spanning several nights), the bill for July was correct i.e. downloads in 00:00->08:00 were not counted. I had no reason to suspect that I would be in this hole in Aug. and Sep.
The session usage reports for Aug and Sep are a nightmare. Even the name on the account is not up to date! It is reporting 0 bytes billed for sessions where I know I had traffic and 400MB for sessions when I downloaded 700MB during 00:00>08:00. It does not make any sense at all. I thing they upgraded the metering software and/or the billing software and are unwilling to admit glitches in them or in their rollout of the same.
CAUTIONARY ADVICE: Those who have the TriBand service, especially the NU plan, keep a close watch on your usage. Terminate/Start your PPPoE login session @ 00:00 and 08:00 to delineate your usage report for peak and off peak hours. Pls. contact me off list if you see any anomaly.
