Yes there is, but we don't 100% know when. We have plans to wire up several cities in Punjab - and fortunately many of them are relatively limited in size so it should be quicker and easier than any of the large metros.

I'm particularly looking forward to Amritsar for some reason (I seem to recall there's a mountain railway there or something).

It got out of date and I hadn't bothered to update it because we were in the middle of bandwidth negotiations, so prices were soft. Even though we have some more accurate prices now, it's best to release all of that information come launch time. What I probably will do is add the latest tentative pricelist to a second page of the document that's hosted until then since I think these are the prices we'll be running with.

To reap the benefits of 1gbit/s you'll need a gigabit ethernet card, and good quality ethernet cable (cat6 is preferred, cat5e is sufficient though).

What your actual throughput is depends a lot on that. A good network card should get you in the early 900s, a bad one closer to 600. I personally got about 850mbit/s when I ran a test on my network here in NZ a few days back.

If your network card is only fast ethernet, then you'll only get 100mbit/s. But, fortunately in that case, it's no longer the internet connection that's the bottleneck, it'd be your hardware. Probably one of the few things we could legitimately blame the consumer for :P

Thanks.

Although due to the nature of bittorrent, probably you would not be exclusively downloading from Hayai peers, but it would reduce your overall bandwidth consumption significantly, assuming it were available.

Data plans still at 100mbit/s actually. 150mbit/s plans are a little bit special. Different types of customer - 100% of customers on 150mbit/s plans would have gigabit ethernet, whereas on data plans maybe a lot less - 30 to 50%.

Maybe we should just let the customers affected by network abusers take vigilante action instead of us doing anything. Public humiliation used to be the way that wife-beaters would be ostracized back in the European middle ages... :P

Mumbai: ASAP. Delhi/Pune: Almost immediately thereafter. Chandigargh: hopefully not too much later, but as I understand there isn't really much in the way of competition up there. A friend of mine from Finland was up there for about 6 months in 2009.

It's pretty awesome. And having gameservers on the network with pingtimes of like 4ms... could open some virtual cans of whoopass.

They don't exist.

Here you get data plans on ADSL (ADSL 1 or 2+ depending on where you live and if your exchange has been upgraded or your area has been given a cabinet to reduce the local loop length) which is ONLY delivered at full-speed (my line-rate syncs at around 16mbit/s. I live in Hamilton and I get about 15 to Auckland, about 120km away)
WorldXChange server: , Vodafone NZ server:
...and differing bandwidths to various parts of the world - 12 to Australia, anything between 4 and 10 to the US (depending on where in the US), usually between 1 and 3 to India, usually about I guess 3-6 to the UK.

There are 2 types of DSL plan: bundled with phone + NLD, and without phone. Most broadband providers offer almost exactly the same services with price discrepancies being minimal, due to the fact that despite LLU being done now, most of the last-mile is still owned by Telecom NZ, who charges $23 + tax per subscriber as a wholesale to the ISPs. The disadvantage: price and monopoly (which is being eroded slowly). Advantage: I can choose any provider I like and there is no issue with feasibility, since almost every house in NZ has copper going in to it.

The phoneline by itself costs around NZ$45-50 - that's fairly universal.

A baseline for broadband is about $35-40 with 5GB of usage (after a $10 discount for having a phoneline with the company). Fortunately, over and above the baseline prices the per GB rate is only about $1 (when in a plan, I'm not talking about overuse), so a plan with like 20GB is only going to be like $50-55.

They also often add $10 more if you live outside of Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch.

So a typical combo plan is around $80-95 with 5GB of usage depending on the provider. A typical combo plan with 20GB usage will probably be about $95-110ish. Not too many providers go much higher than this, but there are a select few.

Here in Hamilton I would pay:

• $93 for a phone + internet package with 5GB usage on Telecom NZ ($51 by itself I think)
• $95 for a phone + internet package with 10GB usage on TelstraClear (unsure of standalone price)
• $81 for a phone + internet package with 5GB usage on Orcon ($40 by itself)
• $80 for a phone + internet package with 5GB usage on Snap ($40 by itself)
• $90 for a phone + internet package with with 5GB usage on Vodafone (Unsure of standalone price)
• etc...

Some providers have use the data limit as a Fair Usage Policy where they reduce you to 64kbit/s (Telecom NZ, Snap, some others), others use it as a hard data cap, after which you pay per GB, usually around $1.50-2.50. Some also have specific data packages that you can buy for special rates, like 10GB for $15 or something.

For the record, today's exchange rate is around Rs34=NZ$1

...confused yet?

Also Mobile Number Portability is available in NZ and works very well here. I can do the whole lot online at the provider's website and it takes a matter of hours.

I am using it from last one week and quite satisfied with it. I did recharge of rs 4500 on my mtnl people 3g data card and getting avg. 1 mbps speed. the only problem i am facing is sometime connection is lost in abt 6-7 hrs of use, but that is not much of problem since u can check auto reconnect.

Will need to check this out.....finally we have Discovery Science.......yay!!!!

I too got the update......and the channels have gone to original nos again!!

hey nithin, you are having that problem cause the pppoe cant figure out which service you are trying to log in on... this will fix it..!

you will need to edit a perticular file located at here

/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider

to do so, go to konsol and type

#gksu gedit /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider

in that file you will see a line something like this

plugin rp-pppoe.so eth0

you will need to insert this into the line before eth0

rp_pppoe_service <the_service_name>

replace the "<the_service_name>" with your net-service name. (the dialer you use in windows should have that name)

so the line should look like this

plugin rp-pppoe.so rp_pppoe_service <the_service_name> eth0

save and close the file. now

pon dsl-provider command should work like a charm.

I checked rechargeitnow. Its working. They updated the system for ported numbers.

I don't know about official launch. But haven't seen 3G Signal (trial) when searching network in UMTS mode. I search network at least 3/4 times a day (for some research here in IBF). I am currently getting BSNL, RELIANCE, AIRCEL here in UMTS.

Thanks for Leaving Airtel. God bless you. Wish you best of luck (some extra)..

BSNL and BSNL guys are really good. I have been using BSNL for some 7 years. Never found any problem unsolved, at least I solved it myself. CC guys are really down to earth. Just one thing, they need to be more technically professional. BSNL network previously worst, but recently from 2 years its improving. 3G needs more technical supporters and infrastructure improvement. Airtel is purely thief, just like Hutch (now Vodafone)*.

*Not anymore thief.

Deepayan ur right as we know what BSNL is capable of.....

Can HD STB can be used on a Non LCD TV???

I personally went to the BSNL office nobody knows about the new website , they asked me to contact them again after a week .....

Ok here's my speed, I justed wanted to help u, its from RELIANCE,



So, there might b a problem from your side, or mayb the ISP.

And also bcause, u mayb using the browser's own downloader, TRY using DAP, and c if it makes difference.

how to recharge 3G prepaid for data. I am not able to find any online process.

I read on news that Tatasky is for other content aswell with ESPN.
Hopefully F1! :)

the iPhone app was not working, spoke to cc, the smart guy said its due to some network maintenance. :P

He'll be coming in March. Better news may be there at the cost of your some time (1 month) :)

Dear Team,
I have ITI DNA-A211-I Modem,when i power off and power on the modem,configuration saved in modem flashed/factory Restored.Please give me solution how i can save my configuration save in modem

Wouldn't read too much into these reports. Jobs has been 'dead' earlier, so a TTL isn't a big deal

Who knows..but answers are thoughtful and not lazy.

Good compilation. Best for first timers who want speed.

ESPN STAR CRICKET HD on Airtel dth 150+ tax for full matches....channel no 223..call customer care for add the channel

Has anyone tried using an international credit card for recharge recently? Has it worked?

Thx!

How secure is netconnect broadband plus for accessing my bank accounts online ? I understand that all those sites have SSL i.e. http(s) but I am wary about wireless connections ?

Its coded and cant be removed. It comes the same way in cable too.

I was there for 4 mons for work and used 512 Kbps (at home) at tht time...I did not complain abt Airtel or whinge abt the speed...I have been using 15 Mbps speed for the last 3 yrs and 512 Kbps did not bother me....In India you get what you pay for and that is the reality...

I am using a home theater and the sound on these channels is really good. No using some different cables wont affect the quality. You can connect your creative 5.1 only if they have a optical or a coaxial input port. HD sound can only be transmitted by these single cables and not by those component cables.

yep all those shows are scripted.

ok just tried again.. middle click works.. i.e. opens photo in new window.

is that one still free channel .. i guess they show only free channel ...

I can suggest only reliance, for the good coverage speed, and amazing tariff plans.

For LAPTOP:
TARIFF PLANS : Click here
Coverage : Click here

For MOBILE:

VODAFONE

they are paying too much money in branding and re-branding .... first they spend money on branding as R-ADAG and now again re branding reliance without adag ....

wasting too much money .. the market value of adag group is decreasing day by day .. they need to concentrate more on business n customer support than such activity ..

Cheapest I see online is eBay where it is around 10K.

so selling upscaled from dishtv isnt that much of a surprise, they will sell loads of hd boxes just because of this claim

broadcasting minstry should look into this and kick their butt, they are actually fooling ppl into buying their services

Anyone for my query ?

i'm waiting........

I do not burn DVDs - as even i fear them getting deteriorated. But i dont feel constrained, since i am on a measly 300kbits/s connection, and have a 1 TB HDD.......

My total Download since last July or so is round about 350 GB.......and that - is a very generous figure i am quoting - may be less than that.

May Be Next Year!! :-)

Hello Reliance (BIGTV) Digital TV users,

From last some of my calls to CC, i found out that every time i call them; 1 or 2 Rs. of amount is getting deducted from my account each time.

It is pathetic. They are charging us to call their CC. It is rediculous.

18002009001 - They call TOLL FREE number (of course we dont pay for that to call) but REL charge us to talk to their CC.

They make mistakes, give us faulty hardware, do technical problems and if we call to ask for solution, they charge us!!!

VERY BAD CC now becomes EXTREMELY WORST CC

they look very very cheap.
We can run it as HD tv

In the above screenshot we tried to search 'Download Internet Explorer 9'. Surprising in search result the first link of non microsoft site appear which provide IE 9 for downloading.

HI
Does anyone use worldnet from ghatkopar/chembur here?I would like some reviews like how much uptime it has,what are the plans etc.

Since when? It wasn't like this yesterday

I bet your speeds would be doubled as soon as Fair Usage Policy is launched by MTNL. If u still dont believe me then ask Airtel broadband users.

u have to pay 50 rs extra as a dc charge .
contact to ur net operator

blade man

Is there anyone in any city who are able to login to the 3G Network Continuously ?

cost wise 625 is better thats am using that .. :P about modem i bought the same so no additional charges ...

499 is good when it comes to advertising .. as u get unlimited internet at rs 500 but no one see the additional charges they need to pay for rental ...

it is not set at the local exchange it is set at some central exchange..if ur speeds are synced wrong then u can ask the customer care to set ur speed according to your opted plan from their servers..

right. zoom is just digital zoom. so its not that big of a deal. but for picplz i publish photos instantly. and i prefer focusing on the area i want to highlight. :)

as for microphone. i did read that N1 has better noise cancellation compared to NS. and it is pretty apparent. in many ways, NS is turning out to be a crappy upgrade to N1.

"There is no ETA on 2.2.1 update for SGS" as per samsung twitter account
