BSNL Broad Band customers can register their Mobilephone number and E-mail id in http://bbusage.bsnl.in to get Broad Band usage alert.
You have to provide Broadband User Name, Phone No., Alert Mobile No. and Alert Email ID to get the alert. The service will be activated in 24hrs.
I registered for the alert yesterday night and received the 1st weekly alert SMS in the morning, but i didn’t get any email alert.
A small desktop tool is also available from BSNL : http://bbusage.bsnl.in/app/v1.2/bbusage.exe . But your will get the details only after your alert subscription is activated.

You can also get usage on-demand on your mobile phone. Send SMS to +919447051550 with the keyword BBUSAGE. The service will be available after your above registration has been accepted.
To de-register send email to autosms@bsnl.in. from your registered mail ID.
But my favourite application is BSNL Broadband usage finder from shaplus. It is a 3rd party freeware application.
Some features of this tool
- Auto login to BSNL usage checking site
- Daily total of non free and free usage( for those having night(2am to 8am) free usage)
- Graphic display of daily usage
- Summary of usage, daily average used , average usable, estimated bill etc.

It’s so sad.. India has a long way to go… TRAI defines “broadband” as 256 kbps and above. Indian ISP’s have data-transfer based plans, time based plans, prepaid plans, and then finally the most expensive unlimited plans.
Compare this to what’s available in countries like Singapore and America, where broadband is a minimum of 2-5 Mbps, and most home broadband plans are 10 Mbps or more. Even 100 Mbps is available for those who can afford, and 1 Gbps is coming soon!
In such countries, all plans (I say that again, ALL plans) are fully unlimited, so a data-transfer based plan or time-based plan is simply something unimaginable in these countries.
Really, India is still backward by 10 years in Internet technology. It’s just so sad that this country has not yet caught up with the others.
