Thanks Matthew. I now understand why this is happening.

Well, they already charged money and replaced my physical cables last week and said it would be alright. However, the problem seems to be affecting ALL MTNL USERS in Mumbai, so it's not a line problem but a server issue at their end. I waited for a week, and this problem had begun again since 2 days, so I have shifted to Hathway which gives less speed but atleast doesn't disconnect every hour as MTNL does.

I say, once again, OH INTERNET GODS, LET HAYAI ARRIVE ALREADY! :(

What if u dont want the HDMI??? I already have 1 at my home!! :(

I am testing the speeds by using Nokia E51 as a modem. I connected the phone to my laptop via USB cable. The speed I got is around 380kbps download and 300kbps upload. I have laptop with Windows 7.

Will the speed be higher if I use any 3G modem rather than using phone as a modem?

I have mine capped to 2 Mbps and the cap has not been removed.

Your logic is undeniable.

Plan type : LTI three phase
Location: Mumbai

Hi my electricity provider i.e RELIANCE, charges me Rs 1150 eventhough i didn't use A/c for the whole month.:madness:

Yes its True SUN HD is charging Rs 13000 for ESPN HD and STAR Cricket HD

Dont mind Trying, Fivenet 10mbps broadband below 1k per month? Where in mumbai do u need this connection?

I dont prefer airtel or reliance cos they out of range for an 1mbps connection.

Now slowly they r increasing their prices too.

Yea i guess google is loading fast because they have MASSIVE NETWORK OF SERVERS ALL OVER THE WORLD and they absolutly dont get any load 1 PB is just a TEMPORARY storage for those guys

But i had read on some android forums that there is a dust accumulation issue on display screen of LG Optimus one and thanks for ur responses.

Gud that they have notified the users, they r doing some changes today as well.

No, this is the standard license text from the DoT. All providers have the same license, large or small.

See the post he was referring to

have not found any new codes. the shipping through postal mail is cheap. but is very risky. the order they sent on jan 7 has not reached me YET. i am paying a reshipping fee to get it delivered again.

Most of that sentence doesn't make sense. I think as winners of BWA spectrum in 8 circles, Aircel will be allowed to deploy data services on either an LTE or a Wimax platform. I don't know what they've decided on but I think it MAY be WiMax.

While we don't need to specifically buy "LTE spectrum", the issue is more that we don't have the correct license to use a cellular technology capable of delivering telephony services - that is, LTE. On the other hand, Aircel has the license to operate as a cellular provider and Reliance Infocomm I believe do as well, but even then I think they are deploying data-only services for now (but have probably chosen LTE so that they can introduce cellular services later).

If we were to deploy any kind of LTE service it would probably be by either:
1. Buying all of Qualcomm's spectrum at 13000-odd crores
2. Operating as an MVNO under someone else (that is, either Aircel or Reliance)

And I'm not particularly interested in entering the mobile market at the moment, as I don't think there is much value that we can give to that market, that is, we probably can't improve the services much, if at all.

We didn't really test the pings - it was just a field test to make sure everything was working. The CTO tells me that speeds are an average of 8mbit/s, up to about 30 or so, ergo that's what I've been advertising.

No, I'm saying that LTE and WiMax are both contenders for the title of what can be called "4G". We have chosen WiMax, and a form thereof that would allow it to be used on the move. It should give approximately similar results to real-world LTE.

In Sweden? Not likely. But it goes to show more along the lines of what the real-world results can be expected to be, whatever anyone running any tests (in this case Reliance Infocomm) may trumpet as being "results in the field".

I think Sonera has deployed Huawei equipment. Telenor I think is deploying with NSN, but probably I'm getting confused as to who is deploying what and where, so as more and more LTE networks come online there will be more results (and variances) about what LTE is capable of.

Our main concern at the moment is to make sure that whatever we deploy works, and works well. My mother-in-law can't get a cellphone signal inside her house - so we'd better make sure that when she switches over to Hayai lite, she can get our signal. Whether this means deploying something similar to a femtocell (a repeater) or whether we end up simply affixing a small, unobtrusive antenna to her fence (I personally think in her case her fence acts a bit like a faraday cage, so I can be almost sure that one or the other will be required) will depend on performance tests when we begin actually selling the service to customers.

?? no one on the forum ??
:isleep:

Maybe it could be a problem with pingtest.net in my speedtest its 12ms

I have always supported Community Wifi Access. This is because mobile broadband is useless for heavy duty applications. 3G access is a passe’. Aircel has not responded to my queries and neither I am interested to follow them up. I had earlier emailed them about the promotion of mobile apps. It isn’t clear how they [...]

Aircel Wifi: Is something being done?

Even in reliance i am getting high pinges these days!!

The Department of Telecom (DoT) has issued a notice to Idea Cellular for Punjab License Termination and has also send a demand notice to Spice Communication for Punjab. The regulator alleges that there has been a violation of the substantial equity norm by Idea Celuar and Spice Communication.

The Telecom Disputes Settlement & Appellate Tribunal (TDSAT) has already heard out Idea cellular's plea on the grant of 3G spectrum in Punjab but the Department of Telecom says it cannot give Idea the Punjab 3G license. Idea has paid Rs 320 crore for it Punjab 3G license.

The final hearing on matter by TDSAT will be held on March 3.

Hey JS B r u sindhi??

Pathetic as usual!

Sad that God of war 3 is not available on PS2!

Snap of Idea 3G in Pune...

UK court agrees Assange extradition to Sweden - Yahoo! News

noose is tightening!

Railtel's nationwide backbone might be of some help in getting is from city to city, yes.

dth... well since its prepaid, i guess it is safe to stop recharging and forgetting about it.

care to answer my above question?

-Go for any unlocked modem, it will support 3G from all operators.
-Yeah, Reliance is selling its 21 mbps modem for around 4.5k, it is unlocked so can be used with any operator sim, but too costly while comparing to Huawei UMG 1831 for <=3000rs & k4505 for somewhere b/w 3.5k to 4 k . U can check that in some other threads.
-U r in delhi so yes MTNL is having promotional offer similar to earlier BSNL offer. In MTNL, u can get unlimited data @ 4500rs/6month effectively for 750 rs/month. ( with a 200GB/month soft Fair Usage Policy which they say will choose whether to apply or not).
But before u wanna go for MTNL, plz do check coverage & speed in ur particular area before going for any big recharge.

Decent plans.. u can't expect to get unlimited on 3G ..
3GB is somewht lower but 5GB in Rs.1500 would be a good deal for 3G .. I am sure price will come down once there is some competition ..

Well there is a 50/50 chance that Steve might be there... Apparently he is on his deathbed according to a tabloid website... Of course 2 weeks after this website claimed that Steve has only 6 weeks to live He showed up to attend a party hosted by Obama... I guess his last wish was to meet the president one last time :D ... BTW too many Ipad 2 rumors going around... Who to believe who not to believe :( ...

Afff...I hate the Indian government.
Wait let me correct that. I hate the GUYS who run the government.
Damn blood sucking pricks who work as slow as snails if not SLOWER.
No shame whatsoever in asking for a bribe. How can they even live with themselves.

When they die they should be re-born as my toilet and I will drop not only my shit on them
but the WHOLE neighborhood's too !

Ahh bliss :D

absolutely right.
this bugger telecom comppanies wont let it happen.chennai and kolkata are all merged in one circle but due to commercial nature of mumbai.
they wont let it happen.
anyways those two videocon sim cards are already in pocket.

Its gonna take some time to get used to your new handle, admin.

This is about 'political transformation' not 'revolutionary transformation'.

There is no new idealogy being pushed here, just the Arab world rebooting back into the 21st century.

chennai circle has been updated now... Chennai Telephones-Activation of voice STV/Boosters

See, i am not prejudiced against Vodafone. But the problem is even if Call-dropping reduces, i wont get the same costing as compared to Idea.....

Please read my 1st 2 points for the pricing that i am getting on my other Idea connection - i am sure, the General Pricing Policy of the organisation cannot be bent for a single customer.

Yeah, i can think of sticking to Vodafone if i get similar pricing.......

Thanks for your response.

From where could I get to see the attainable rate in my modem - my modem is UT300R2U

ya may be in the FAR future ...... when net is controlled by ppl like us [techies] ......

@unlckiphone

Whats the point in making a three year old post alive. Do you think the starter is still waiting for this question to be answered :ishock:

New york, SAN Fransisco, Dallas!

U can expect quality service from reliance broadband but at the same time u will hve to face the worst customer care in INDIA.
They are some ill- mannered staffs working there in reliance.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

U can go for the 1 mbps package in reliance.
There is also night booster plan @ 1599 that will give u 1 mbps speed in morning & 2 mbps night.

I purchased tata photon plus and after one days the speed was very low and I tried to contact the customer executive but not result when I talked the executive after hours of waiting they say they cant do any thing.Speed is very low.
I have similar experience in the past when I got my tata walky talky telephone bill of Rs5000 instead of monthly average of Rs600/-.
And I had to submit that bill because they threatened me to sue in the court and I didn't have enough time to fight them legally or to go to consumer court so I paid that bill but the next month I removed that connection from my house.

since 2003? its an achivement !

@popcorn

never

Mumbai is one of those shitty places where you pay 1st world prices for 3rd world services

City: Ghaziabad

Package: Home 899 (256kbps Unlimited)

Cost: 899 + tax

Positive points: Unlimited data transfer, excellent speeds 280Kbps Up and Down some time.

Negative points: I am satisfied with the speed but , they provide 200 free local calls and incoming calls and I am not taking benefit of such phone call service still they are charging me same amount and not giving me any discount.


General View:

Right now, we are hearing from everywhere that this company will develop LTE or this company will test LTE in india .....bla...bla....Even though 3g network is not fully developed and not taken in daily use because of it is costly.

Another addition of LTE project from ,

Alcatel-Lucent come with altair semiconductor for test LTE in india market.
Alcatel-Lucent and Altair Semiconductor completes TD-LTE Field Trials in India and China


Let us see.

I have heard about this, My friends CA firm uses this and i guess not just 5, i thnk it can connect to more pc at same time.. but speed would be masha allah!!

We all have read about A. Raja giving franchises of BSNL wimax to his associates and relatives. No surprise that BSNL wimax has turned out to be flop show.

Going by the precedent and prevailing best practices of the Congress government in Delhi, I won't be surprised a bit if the 'Pandit Enterprises' turned out to be an associate or friend of a congress party politician.

Anyway their plan are similar to what MTNL is already offering in Delhi/Mumbai. Nothing earth shattering here folks. Move on.

Offer 2 mbps unlimited without Fair Usage Policy for under Rs 1000 and we will talk.

with reliance 3g i get HSDPA + network, speed upto 16mbps as per the device. but max i get is 8-9mbps

LOL ... that was good

they might have to get in line i think after few of the recent posts i have been going through lol

ET gone home .. no come back :P

I watch Hindi, English & Malayalam channels. I don't watch channels of any other region.

I was wondering if there is a difference between going for a North India Pack & taking Malayalam1 as a Al-a-Carte Pack
or alternatively going with a South India pack and taking Malayalam1 as a free Al-a-carte pack.

For the same price as South Gold, I can get North Gold Cricket - so I don't mind paying for the extra Malayalam1 a-la-carte pack.

Will I miss any Malayalam channel if I go the North Pack way?

I watch only cricket & Gold Cricket pack shows any channel which has cricket, so that's good.

I also get Sony Max, Star Gold, Colors & many other channels extra if I go the North way. Does this sound right?

I think HSDPA services are activated free by mtnl in new sims in mumbai prepaid.

Can I use ppshsdpa or pps3g instead of gprsppsmum?

I am not able to do this... can any one tell me why? Are these apns only used in datacards? Are those apns locked to a datacard only? Can I do anything on my mobile Nokia E5 to use it?

humm .. ppl take old furniture there and u talking about raddi ....

3G service is not launched by Airtel yet.Let them start the 3G service first and fix the charges. Only than we will be able to know. I think Airtel will start 3G service at the end of this year.

Check the LAN Settings in the browser (Tools - Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings). I recommend selecting Automatically detect settings, and then disabling everything else.

It means that you should see the charge on your credit card right now. It could take up to 3 weeks for the charge to reversed from your account, in the mean time those funds are NOT available for you to spend.

If they do not have WDS you are better off with using just an Access Point on the second floor. An AP will give wireless without adding additional routing issues to the system.

To make more money, and to discourage people from calling there to waste the companies time.

Beam Fibre( name has been changed to beam fibre from beam telecom)

As per inside source Of free speed upgrade of plans
They have introduced 2,4,6mbps Trial packs for one hour.




Speeds have not been upgraded yet but still i think, It may be done in a day or two!

u can call 1503 instead of 9869012345

thanks a lot, friends...........

thanks a lot for the link, is there one for Linux as well?

the recharging website not working anymore...

Trust me; I am gung ho about the new semantic web technology. It’s the integrated whole that excites me. Sadly, we don’t get to see a lot of development in India. Call it stupidity or callousness but I would strongly argue that most of the “IT Whiz Kids” can’t even write a line of code. [...]
