Guys if anybody can post on Wired plan review specially high speeds like 1 Mbps and 2 Mbps Unlimited plans please,
because I am looking forward to buy the 1099 Plan with 1 Mbps unlimited speeds :D

Hmmm...

Well sorry to take up this thread./
I applied intially for new Airtel 2 Mbps plan (Rs. 1299), but they acted as a bitch. The cable was there, but the db got choked here at Chennai due to some drainage trenching and the new connection was not feasible../

Hence I have shifted to Reliance 1099 plan with 1 Mbps unlimited, and what I like the most about this plan is no FUP :D
The exact feasibility is not there, but the pole is 100 Meters away and we applied for two connection so they told they will be extedning withing few days and probably install the connection within 5 to 7 days.
So as I applied on wednesday I am hoping I get the connection by Monday or Wednesday.

What Inferred from this thread, is Reliance requires this login thingy which I hate, lets see how this connection turns up on grabbing it.
Btw about the Reliance ping, how is it. Like I play online games sometime so I was wondering how efficient will it be for that purpouse./

The "Disaster" works only in parts. It (1)shows bill details [lots and lots] of even the latest bill [Aurangabad/Maharashtra] (2) Gives some 2-3 days old BB-usage and details in absurd formats.(3)One still cant pay via net banking. (4) "Contact us" number never answers. (5)Has stopped working in IE8 !! Says " Sorry, your browser/program is not supported by Web Dynpro!" OK in Firefox.
My main worry was tracking usage [ plan 500 / 2.5 gb limit about 80mb/day].
I have now a solution :-
There is a very simple but very useful free broadband usage utility named "Broadband Usage Meter" by one Patiala company. "www.rackeys.com" , It is independant of service provider, I am happy with it. No web site/portal etc needed. Displays count properly continuously. Please comment here how u like it.

had to made some changes to server settings.

anyways. with me migrating to xenforo in the near future, the integration should be much better.

It’s crap dipshit soaked service that I have never ever experienced in the past 3 years with Airtel. Part of the reason was the urgent need to transfer my residence back because of some family issues. Apart from that, I (…)Read the rest of this entry »

Ubuntu 10.10: Countdown begins

I am stuck up because of academic reasons; hence the highly irregular and erratic postings here. All the more there is nothing “serious” happening over Broadband. Although, Airtel is still crowing about the new “unlimited plans” with Fair Usage Policy. (…)Read the rest of this entry »



Erratic posting
