I have long shifted to Reliance Broadnet after a fairly long stint with BSNL.
The day I was given the connection I had connected the CAT5 cable directly to my PC’s LAN port.
Everything was working like a smooth oiled machine till I bought my Linksys WRT54GL and installed Tomto Firmware on it and then configured QoS for the same.
The setup worked fine for quite a few days after which all hell broke loose…

Having used BSNL Home 500 plan at one point of my stint with BSNL DataOne I have also faced the usual dilemma; i.e. when to start the downloads during the Happy Hours (aka time period when the downloads are not counted) and then stop it so that i don’t get billed for excessive use and can stay with the limit of 1GB(or was it 1.5GB ?).
It involved using getting up at nights around 2.30AM and starting the downloads. Later that shifted to Task Scheduler of Windows XP then to a scheduler plugin of Azureus and then to the default scheduler of uTorrent.

QoS or Quality of Service as is defined by Wikipedia states :
In the field of computer networking and other packet-switched telecommunication networks, the traffic engineering term quality of service (QoS) refers to resource reservation control mechanisms rather than the achieved service quality. Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. For example, a required bit rate, delay, jitter, packet dropping probability and/or bit error rate may be guaranteed. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as voice over IP, online games and IP-TV, since these often require fixed bit rate and are delay sensitive, and in networks where the capacity is a limited resource, for example in cellular data communication.
In layman’s term QoS is the process by which you set some pre-defined rules which determines which data packets are to be allowed first based on their priority level.
