did i forgot to mention my last month data usages??
it was like 600GB no less...

200GB via internet + 400GB via DC++

DC Hub gives me from 30MbPS to 80MbPS depends on distance of host.. and downloading via DC hub does not affect my internet speed theoretically (my LAN is capped at 100Mbps thats a minus point) :) so i get a network utilization of 70-90% all the months, sometime even 100% network utilization on 100MbPS line :)

i am bored downloading things and ran out of space on my HDD, that is 320GB int + 500GB ext + 500GB ext = 1300GB appx :(

Probably our Hayai Lite product would be available via both fixed wireless and a USB dongle. WiFi hotspots are another issue in India due to the silly issues that surround them - we may offer

I'm well aware of what's available in Hong Kong, and yes, Singapore has similar plans. Singtel has combos whereby you get landline as well as a USB dongle for mobile use (actually, Finland and Sweden have such combos as well, come to think of it).

Between offerings of various European countries, HK, Singapore, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, where do you think we're taking various ideas from?

The "don't abuse the network" fair usage policy is from Singapore and HK, the service levels are loosely based on those offered by PCCW, Elisa, Sonera and others. The dual-speed idea was taken from Romania, Ukraine and Singapore (1Gbit/s on the network, 100mbit/s off the network) etc. The "no speed limit on the line for data plans" was taken from New Zealand and Australia (with allowances for high usage being available coming from Australia, as the biggest NZ has to offer is 300GB, whereas Aussie has 1TB).

We've been trying to implement a combination of what I consider to be some of the better ideas from around the world, and you'll probably notice that glaringly absent is anything from the UK and USA, as I don't consider either countries to have any particularly good examples of superior service.

The speed definitely will be less when you connect using your mobile. However when you are on data card, speed will be much higher.

@vvattipally
but i think i am the only one here that uses bsnl 3g or not more than 5 in my area..
but here are many users of 2g with 3g n/w.....
and i think the problem is in sim...
so i will buy new one....

ty all...

I am getting 3.5 to 5 mbps speed in Hyderabad. Not sure about Vizag though.

UMG 1831 is the best. I have used it continuously for 36 hours without any issues.

Yes... I have tried this. It is working perfect for my UMG 1831.

Mine is speed issue, Don't get disconnected for 5+ hours continuous connectivity
but I don't get more than 300-400 kbps during days, speed kicks in only after 1 AM to 5AM

Great going!!! No doubt this is the best forum I have come across. I'm online on IBF more than Facebook now a days. It helps me to gain tech knowledge a lot. Huge fan of IBF. Congrats admin!!!!!

Ratan Tata slams govt's stand on leakage of Radia tapes - The Economic Times

let's hope something is done about it. no one seems to take privacy seriously here in india.

i feel the pricing would be around 5k+, it can be more also depending upon the hardware configuration and other stuff.

UMG1831 does not support video or voice calling with the original firmware, if you are using a modified or some other modem's firmware then it is a difference scenario.

yeah, engadget heard the news a bit later. they are good people. :D

remains to be seen what packages verizon would offer to iphone customers. no details out yet.

there are strong rumors that 30 dollar unlimited plan would be there. unlimited 3g for less than 1500 rupees. :P on verizon's cdma network which is said to be very nice. it sucks that cdma service providers are considered second grade here in india.

i have tries sending message to *123# using MDMA and i get a message back with balance and validity details.
