I am using MTNL's Triband combo offer which gives 600 mb download a month. This has been upped from 400 mb just last month.
All this while, I was easily remaining within the 400 mb limit. Suddenly this month's bill shows a usage of 870 mb for march. On complaining to mtnl they said that that was the usage according to them.
I usually run a check with knetworkmonitor and gkrellm and there would always be a small discrepancy between the usage shown on my machine and that shown by mtnl, where mtnl would always show slightly lower usage than on my machine.
For last month gkrellm shows a usage of 560 mb as opposed to mtnl showing 870 mb. What can explan this large difference ? Btw, according to the chap I spoke to at mtnl, _it is definitely hackers_ sic !!
This (hacker) is quiet possible. Please check your user name and password. A standard MTNL process is to have your telephone no as user name and Customer number as password.
done that long ago.
