Then here’s a really simple way to quickly find the Airtel broadband data usage for your account. Smartbytes, a service recently introduced by Airtel allows broadband users to buy additional data packages to Retain High Speed Bandwidth after crossing FUP limit and acts as your internet usage manager as well.

To view Airtel Internet data usage, visit www.airtel.in/smartbyte-s/page.html from your Airtel broadband connection. The webpage will instantly show the internet usage details of your account for the current bill cycle without requiring any type of registration or login. The page lists your DSL ID (phone no.), allocated high speed data transfer limit as per your plan, remaining high-speed data transfer quota (non-FUP), and days left in your current billing cycle (calculated month wise). Implement some simple maths to know the data consumed by deducting GBs left from the high speed limit.

Using the same webpage, you can also opt for airtel smartbytes deals by purchasing additional high speed quota, in case your high speed data limit is over and you don’t desire to continue browsing on low-bandwidth (i.e. 256kbps speed). This is certainly a nice move by Airtel to let users check their broadband usage in just a single click!

Note: You can even check data usage of other Airtel users if you’ve access to their network. This is something that Airtel needs to fix by adding some sort of protection.

Smartbytes comes handy when you exceed your high speed quota as defined by Fair Usage Policy but can still browse at a creepy speed of 256Kbps. Airtel Smartbytes for broadband customers lets you simply track your internet usage, check billing cycle and buy additional data usage packs as and when needed.

Airtel Smartbytes

‘Smartbytes’ offers the ability to add high speed data transfer limit and continue browsing at higher speeds. Customers can opt for desired Smartbytes pack anytime after reaching 80% of their high speed bandwidth limit. The additional data usage bought is provided for the remaining period of your monthly billing cycle. Smartbytes unique data usage packs range from 1 GB to 50 GB starting at Rs. 99.

Additional Data Usage Packs at Airtel Smartbytes include:

  • 1 GB for Rs. 99
  • 2 GB for Rs. 159
  • 5 GB for Rs. 299
  • 10 GB for Rs. 449
  • 20 GB for Rs. 799
  • 50 GB for Rs. 1499

Upon opting for Smartbytes deals, you’ll be able to browse at higher speed as per your current plan for the provided high-speed data transfer quota. To add an additional data usage pack to your broadband plan, just visit www.airtel.in/smartbytes from your Airtel broadband connection to which you want to add it.

>> Smartbytes is indeed a nice initiative from Airtel for users who cant adapt to low bandwidth and thus are looking out for some alternative. However, Airtel has made it more than easier to opt for Smartbytes as one doesn’t needs any special account logins to activate it. This is quite risky as anyone having access to your Internet network can go to smartbytes webpage and subscribe to any data plan without your knowledge.

DataFox is a cross platform extension written for Firefox. Version 1.5 is compatible with Firefox 3 and supports BSNL’s new bbservice.bsnl.in portal (updated in July 2008).

DataFox  

Click here to install the extension directly. DataFox is really easy to use. Once installed, you should see this icon () in your status bar. Click it to bring up the login dialog. Select your ISP, then enter your Username and password and click the Login button; that’s it.

    

DataFox works by obtaining usage information directly from the BSNL / MTNL usage site, it does not monitor your network in any way, so usage details probably won’t change until you logout of DataOne / TriBand and log back in again.

>> If you want an external application to check your BSNL dataone usage, then DUF (Dataone Usage Finder) will be the best utility offered by BSNL.
