Important news for all bsnl changes plans 1 feb 2011

Posted: 04 Feb 2011 12:35 PM PST

So I called the local exchange and the guy there asked me to call 12678 and when I did that they werent even aware of any changes. Then they said since there is some cable fault that they are not sure if its implementable etc. I only asked them to update the plans on their end, for which the same answer was given.

I completely agree. Persistent written and phone call follow-ups with the ED's office and GM Broadband's office (with cc and phone calls to your Area GM), is the key to getting action. Ignore your linesman's ministrations. If things don't work at the ED level, write a polite but firm mail, quoting all your broadband complaint numbers to DoT in Delhi, and stating zero-action from MTNL bosses.

2 years ago, I did just that. And believe me, DoT ripped these guys apart. In 6 hours, my 3 month old problem was resolved, with every head honcho from MTNL calling me at 5 min intervals. Since then, I've become 'saab' to these vermin. And my broadband issues get fixed within 24 hours.

From there, you're rate-limited at our network's border to whatever plan speed you're on, so if you're a 10mbit/s flat-rate subscriber, anything OUTSIDE of our network is rate limited to a maximum of 10mbit/s. Anything INSIDE the network still runs at up to 1Gbit/s.



Pretty much - if it's served by us, cached by us, or from a user on another ISP with whom we have a private bi-lateral peering agreement (ie, not NIXI peering), then it's in HZ.

Youtube is a tough one, because not all Youtube content is cached (especially if you're the first to access the content)... so that would be a half-yes.

Yes I have read it some where else about youtube where I do not remember. If user accessed the video from youtube, that video will load faster than the first buffering. Second time it will be transferred from nearest cache.

They still have this sort of plan even till now, parallelly with the FUPed tiny plans. this is a kind of dual-mindedness from them where on the one they are giving true unlimited in 20rs/day on the other hand milking the customers blindly by such plans as rs. 95 -> 2 Gb -> 68 mb/day & rs. 13 -> 150 mb -> 50 mb/day with 2p/kb over usage charges.

Don't really understand what does the people who designs such plans eat :huh:

Reliance Broadband+ in Salem

Posted: 04 Feb 2011 04:52 AM PST

I seriously doubt if reliance has, say 10 lakh NetConnect Broadband + users, even 50,000 would be getting a 2 mbps speed on avg.

Its the same problem with all these EVDO providers that they advertise so heavily that even in a villages where there are only 3-4 operators BTS (2G GSM/CDMA 1X ), there too people are carrying so many data cards. I have seen people using 1000-1500 rs./ month for a download rate of 13-19 KBps thinking their device is 3.1 mbps.

Hardly 30-40% users among these data cards would be having any idea, what an EVDO is !

MTNL Broadband Plan Change Questions and Answers

Posted: 04 Feb 2011 04:25 AM PST

I have just got my plan changed from the DSL_COMBO_495 (320 kbps U/L) to DSL_749 (752 kbps U/L).
Took about 4 days of chasing the guys to finally get the speed changed (although plan was changed promptly). I'm not too far from the exchange (max 1 km), and have been getting 320 kbps on the 320 kbps plan (100%). I know TRAI has imposed a 80% limitation, but I'm just achieving about 630 kbps of download speed only on this plan. Anyone else facing the same issue?

Sun Direct - Full Tension TV

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 08:50 PM PST

Your case is better. I have Rs.110 balance in my account before the expiry date of 04.01.2011. Next day i was shocked by the SCRAMBLED message. I called the customer service, they told only Rs.11 in my account. What SD cheats done was deducted Rs.99 and not renewed the pack. The fraud customer care executive lady argued that i had only Rs.11 the previous day and no chance of having Rs.110/-. I got frustrated and cut the call as I have no proof.

Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind. It was last month I have activated TEN CRICKET on 15.12.2010. While I try to activate it have Rs. 134/- balance. TEN CRICKET costs Rs.45. But it didn't accept because as TEN CRICKET was valid till 24 Jan, we need to have enough balance for next months base pack subscription. That is we need 99+45 (144) to activate it. So I recharged for Rs.25 (net balance 22) and and brought the balance to 156. I don't have any other add-on packs.
I called CC again and argued the same. The CC executive was shocked and can't speak anymore and said it was a technical fault (Usual reason they give when caught while cheating). Now she gave me a complaint number asked me to switch on STB and TV and wait for some time. Within 2 Minutes I got all channels back.


Nokia Smartphone Strategy Shift -- Android or Windows 7 ????

Posted: 03 Feb 2011 07:14 PM PST

I agree, webos is one the best OS for mobiles but yes Palm failed miserably to showcase best things of that OS to the users. They also made very stupid mistakes with dealing developers. I remember as I was part of the project where my company wanted to develop email messaging client on webos but they were so stupid that they never allowed us to make few core changes to webos like making our email client as default email client or calendar as default client. They just refused while they allowed us to do every thing to their previous Palm OS. This all happened when Apple allowed us to make those changes in iOS3 and all other different mobile OS were also allowing us.

I guess they paid very dearly for those mistake otherwise webos had really potential to kill all hype what iphone iOS have.

Avertv Super009 is "saa7134" based tv tuner card and supported by 2.6.35 kernel. Ubuntu recognised my tv tuner card without any problem. I cannot get any sound when using tv time. Again the same problem.............:icry:

I got a fix from linuxtv.org after a detailed research. Sound problem solved in TVtime. Now, I am watching tv on Linux machine.:happy:
