With the year 2007 tagged as "The Year of Broadband" by the Indian Telecom Ministry, it becomes very important for us to track our downloads. Because with skyrocketting speeds of 2 Mbps at our homes, things just happen too quickly & by the time we realize how much we have downloaded using Torrents & other P2P softwares, we have a big fat bill from MTNL / BSNL charging us for exceeding the download limits.
I know its too boring to visit their extremely slow sites to check our Account Status. Then why not use a browser like Mozilla Firefox which also gives our account statistics in its status bar. Thats what a brilliant chap named Brian Fernandez has developed. He has developed an extension for Firefox which queries the MTNL / BSNL Servers & shows your account statistics in its status bar. You just need to save your username & password in its settings. Don't worry its totally safe & is being tested by many people in the India Broadband Forum (http://broadbandforum.in). So what are you waiting for, just install Mozilla Firefox along with this extension available at http://thegoan.com/firefox & keep your Broadband bills under control.
