whenever i try opening the airtel smartbytes page i get this error "GBOD006: This service is temporarily unavailable for your DSL ID 080******2_kk. Please try after some time."

i use the the myairtel android app to check the usage .....but just wanted to know y am i getting that error?

 

 

I had called up Airtel guys to complain about the lack of speed some days back. Got a call back explaining the fibre optic cable cut issue. And was told to append @airtelbroadband.in to the username in the modem settings in order to get better speed

 

Upto this point, I had never received any alerts regarding FUP, never experienced speed throttling, even Smartbytes page would throw an error. The moment I made the change to username, I started getting usage reminders, etc. I hit 80% of FUP within 3 days of the current billing cycle.

 

I rolled back the change to the username, and stopped getting reminders. Smartbytes page has been stuck at that percentage for a while now. In detailed stats it shows that I have crossed FUP, but the reminder I get on SMS/email doesn't reflect that. And still getting normal speed.

 

hmmm must try this......u guys get reminders on sms/email???wtf till now i havent got any such notifications .......i just keep checking that damn app for usage details :rant:

This was the exact situation of my connection when I got it. The smartbytes page would show nothing, I'd get no sms/email notification of usage.

 

At this point, my userid was simple number_kk format. I suggest you keep it that way, Koldy. See if FUP kicks in. My guess is that it won't.

I have MTNL 1 mbps plan as well. Its unlimited download I think. Planning on upgrading to atleast 4 mbps but goddamn those FUP limits.

Can anyone suggest a good MTNL plan? Want to stick with MTNL only since I am kind of happy with their service.

sorry for the delay ...i was just posting a reply yesterday at night but then suddenly power went off :mellow:

And jab aaye tab mai so gya tha as school tha mera :P

anyways i get 1 mbps download speed and 512 kbps speed

overall i would give 3/5 to mtnl

2/5 for there customer service as goverment hai agar kuch problem aaye internet mai and usse fix karwana hai tho baar baar 2-3 din call karna parega tabhi koi na koi ayyega and tabhi 80% chance hai ki fix hojayega 20% chance hai ki na hoye

4/5 for pings i could have given 5 but pings kabi kabar gandi jati hai and tab mujhe modem ko 2-4 mins ke liye off karna parta hai fir jaake pings wapis achi aati hai

3/5 for reliabilty like most of the times it stable but kabi kabar piche se disconnection hote hai ....only sometimes now

 

hope this helps !! ;)

How come you get so less ping? I play TF2 on Steam and meri 200 tak aati hai :(

Yeah the user id number format is same as what you've mentioned ,even then i'm unable to open the smartbytes page.......ah well no probs :P

 

iirc i saw the usage was stuck at 59.7gb on 10th may evening 4pm(my billing cycle is 11th april-11th may according to that app) ........so i played a bit of BF3 and downloaded a few epsiodes of some tv series before 12am just to check if the FUP kicks in.........it was still going on smoothly at 2mbps .........after 12am the new billing cycle started imo......so i guess the FUP didnt happen :scratchchin:

 

^And you can login in to the Airtel portal to check usage (same statistics as app).

yea that i know,i tried it as soon as i got the connection,navigating to check the usage is a bit confusing in that site for me :P ....... the app is more convenient for me

hmmm meri pings jab kharab hone lag jati hai like 200 wagera tak aane lag jati hai bf3 mai toh i turn of the modem and power piche se 15-20 mins ke liye max and then wapis on karta hu tho i start getting good pings wapis se .....try this method maybe aapko bhi acchi pings miljaye :)

@piper @django_311

 

Can anyone please tell me the procedure of bypassing the Airtel FUP limit...I'm trying on my friend's connection, but apparently removing @airtelbroadband.in from the user name is not working, the internet stops working. So, do I have to do anything else apart from changing username in modem's setup page??

Hi guys, is there any good ISP around the Powai area in Mumbai ?

I have been using Airtel and it works great, but the FUP and high cost are issues. Today my modem burnt out from a voltage fluctuation and I just thought I'd consider my options before fixing it..

Usage willl be online gaming and downloading apart from usual browsing etc.. Thanks.

I too live in Powai and use MTNL,

Quite satisfied with their service and its cheap and also I have the combo plan so I don't even have to pay my landline rental. :)
