World Cup Squad - To be selected tomorrow

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 09:35 AM PST

I feel the team is balanced for playing 11. The 11 playing player are almost certain
1. Sachin
2. Sehwag
3. Gambhir
4. Yuvraj
5. Dhoni
6. Kohli/Raina/Yusuf
7. Harbhajan
8. Zaheer
9. Nehra
10. Praveen Kumar/Munaf
11. Piyush/Ashwin

This could be best combination with 6 Batsman, 3 Pacer & 2 spinner.
But they may also think of 7 batsman, then 1 pacer or spinner would be reduced. But problem could come if any main batsman gets injured or if both 2 new spinners go flop.
People also asking about Rohit Sharma & Shreesant/Ishant, but are they in good form?

There are plenty of threads running on the same just search and read in the forum.

Thanks

How will I activate gprs plan?
Claiming warranty will be difficult when buying from ebay.
What model/brand you suggest?


Hayai Broadband FAQs

That shouldn't be too much of a concern. It's only available to Hayai's network. It's not available to any other ISP. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, our tracker doesn't exist.

The idea behind it is that if someone on our network is seeding a torrent, then by adding our tracker and with our tracker finding the user(s) within Hayai's network, it ensures that the majority of the bandwidth required for any given torrent will come (mostly) from another Hayai user, therefore being free of charge and much faster (important for those on a data plan!)

Local peer discovery is what it's all about.

While that's correct, if there is a seed for any given torrent on our network, then probably 90% will come from that user on our network with the remaining 10% coming from elsewhere.

It doesn't need to be flagged private. If no-one on the network has that particular torrent, then of course how will our tracker provide any seeds for it?

We can't guarantee what will be available between customers, so it's best to leave the original trackers there and use ours as a supplementary tracker. Not every torrent will be indexed unless it is specifically uploaded and seeded, however, by adding our tracker you would be giving us the ability to provide you with local(ish) peers if they exist.

Huawei K4505, UMG1831 Heating More Than E156, E1750, E1752. Why??

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 09:02 AM PST

Well got a K4505 now and the performance is excellent, no disconnects, hang or heat issues, its working well, speeds are stable. So definitely K4505 is also a good buy for those who have the budget for the same.


Mobile Number Portabilty from Jan 20th All over India - Be prepared

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 08:55 AM PST

i dont think any private service provider will give 3g gprs at lower rates compared to bsnl & mtnl. they will be little costly. moreover you get 2 GB or 3 GB data on 98 rupees recharge on a 2G network and you just get 100 MB data on 3G network of mtnl @ 99 recharge.

3G speeds are too fast to consume 100 MB and then you are stuck for paying more.

Every coin has 2 sides. But this industry has so many sides that you get suck somewhere or the other. Its always best to prioritise your requirement and select proper network using mnp.

Is it worth migrating to Reliance Wireline Broadband? - A fed up Airtel Broadband user

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 08:19 AM PST

Someone can provide reviews for Reliance broadband in Bangalore. I am seriously thinking if I can shift to Reliance.
