Check BSNL broadband daily bandwidth usage

BSNL has a 45% market share in Broadband industry in India. It may be a known fact but what’s ridiculous is that over 50% of those users who use BSNL broadband do not know how to check their daily usage. So this for all those who want to check their Bandwidth usage.

This is especially important for those users whose plans are limited (which hold majority in all BSNL plans).

BSNL gives two kinds of IP’s to their users, one that starts with 59.xx.xx.xx (Type 1) and other with 117.xx.xx.xx (Type 2)

Note: To find out your IP type, right click on the BSNL icon which will at the bottom right of your screen resembling 2 computers when the connection is ON and click on Status and go to details tab. There you can find your servers IP address and your IP address (client).

For type 1 IP’s, you can check your BW usage by visiting this website and for type 2 by visiting this website . Login to your account using your BSNL login ID and password.

Alternatively, you can use an application developed by Shaplus to check your usage, instead of visiting that portal every time.

Download application for type 1 IP’s

Download application for type 2 IP’s

Once you download and install the application, enter your BSNL login ID and password in the required columns, select the month for which you want to check your usage and select any administrative login url from the provided url’s. If one url doesn’t work, select a different url.

This application also tells you the remaining bandwidth for the current month and gives you a appropriate daily usage in MB so that you don’t exceed the limit.
