chkdataone release 2005-12 (first release) out!

Are you a BSNL DataOne broadband Internet service subscriber ? Are you frustrated with their website's web browser limitations ? Are you tired of having to open up their website in a web browser which you do not like, merely to get yourself lost in their website's shabby interface and give up ? Are you searching around for an effortless way to check your internet account's traffic usage statistics/summary along with approximate charges of your usage from the DataOne website ?

Then perhaps, chkdataone would help you! Now, as a DataOne subscriber, you can fetch your account usage summary and calculate the approximate charges for your internet usage without ever opening their website in your web browser. Just run chkdataone with your account information as its parameters and smile :-).

This program takes care of fetching all of your service records for a particular month (current month, by default) from the DataOne website, calculating your total internet traffic for the particular month, deducting internet traffic that falls within the free hour slots (2:00 AM to 8:00 AM) and generate a summary report with approximate charges for extra traffic.

Sounds cool ? You can download the script by clicking on this link.

Cheers,

Chandrashekar Babu.
