Mumbai is certainly the most desperately underserved - Airtel doesn't even offer it's 16, 30 and 50 mbit/s services there. Fear not, we're reaching for the stars - we'll be moving in to all major centres within 2-3 months of Mumbai's launch. We're expecting a lot of business from Bangalore (for obvious reasons), but Delhi/Gurgaon, Kolkata and Chennai are also showing fairly significant demand.

The last I checked with Airtel, they did not extend their supposedly high end plans here too. BTW, I am very positive on the progress you are making on the Mumbai front. I am ready to wait for another 6 months for Hayai to reach here. Hopefully, it wont take much longer . Just another question, would you or wont you, come up with the same full fledged plans as in Mumbai in other major AND minor cities so as to maintain a seamless level of service or quality. I do understand that sometimes you may have to adapt different strategies elsewhere. Is the idea still up in the air, or are you confident about pulling it through across all areas of coverage?

Coming down to a more regional level, how would I know if Hayai is coming to my locality? Is there anyway I could notify you'll when the time comes as the Hayai site has been under maintenance for a long time now. (Which I am very sure would be fixed by launch, but still...)

Cheers- Keshav

Can I use two MTNL Broadband connections from one place.

Posted: 09 Sep 2010 11:42 AM PDT

most probably the connections will be port-binded and if so then u'll not be able to use one connection using the login credentials of the other

1. Picture quality wise 2. Sound (No of stereo channels) 3. any other


Cost : I know TS is costly
No of Channels : I know, Dish TV has more channels


Airtel Broadband Turbo 1299 speed upgraded? Fair usage policy?

I always wanted 1mbps connection at least. Reliance connection is not available at my street. Bsnl is doing feasibility study for last three days. Sales person Mr. Khushwant today accepted that he is not able to convince lineman to start working for my new connection as he need a bribe. He adviced me to contact lineman, make him happy and get the connection.

Thus, there is no other alternative as of now. Better prefer Airtel then, if it works for me. :)


BSNL Broadband: Modem restarting every few minutes!

Posted: 09 Sep 2010 10:25 AM PDT

@rima you think it is modem problem ? I will try to reset it and inform again.
I have a beetel 220bxI modem too. Downloading is good on that too, but loading pages, chat on yahoo is very poor.

Modem restarting problem (Phone line interference?)

This ones doing serious damage to the connection quality as there's no splitter installed b/w the ph & the line.

Change wiring to:

MAIN LINE->ADSL Splitter

ADSL Splitter (Phone port)-> 2-IN-1 RJ-11 female box-> Panasonic Cordless device from one RJ11 port + Standard Telephone device from the other RJ11 port

ADSL Splitter (Modem)-> ADSL Modem -> PC

Ask BSNL lines men to do this wiring job for you. Also do an external line checkup/test from your nearest telephone exchange after the wiring has been done, don't forget to take the line test report/copy back home.


US Open 2010

Posted: 09 Sep 2010 08:42 AM PDT

Today's Schedule:

Wawarinka v/s Youzhny (11:30AM IST)
Both players are probably in best form of their life. So cant say who has upperhand.

The BIG match
Nadal v/s Verdasco (around 5:30AM IST)
Just like Federer was up against Soderling, Nadal faces Verdasco.
Verdasco has NEVER beaten Nadal (0-10), so can he be 11th time lucky?

WEIRD MATCH: (Men v/s Women doubles!)
I dont know who got this idea. But Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova will play exhibition match against Pat Cash and Mats Wilander. Around 4:30AM IST :D
