FAQs Airtel Broadband TV Website

I got a mailer related to this service. Very unclear details. Anyone here heard of it?

Guys,

I am using MTNL 3G since June 2010. It worked fine for me until today. I am not able to connect to the internet. I talked to Customer Care and tried many things, only to find out that my prepaid balance is zero. This is a surprise.:impissed:

I had balance of Rs.88 after my last data usage worth Rs. 12 while I was on roaming on BSNL network.

To my surprise, customer care guy told me that after using Rs. 12 worth data. There is another download of 90MB of data. This session ended only after my balance got exhausted. :madness:

I am 100% sure that I did not use this data. Now I am scared of using MTNL. My balance can be drained even without my knowledge. :whistle: Luckily I didn't recharge with a big amount last time as I was planning to switch to 6 month/4500 plan. I have to rethink......

I installed application and gave setting but after clicking on Install ...there is no popup in my iphone asking for any permission.....its not working....can you helpout...I am using Iphone 3GS

launched.

So...bottom line is they won't offer the 95/99 Rs plan to postpaid customers?
I'm getting sick of Vodafone..
I applied for number portability and the very next day i started getting calls from some Vodafone people...they slashed my call prices and OFFERED me 2GB for 99Rs...but i've got no confirmation officially from Vodafone and the guy who called won't pick up the phone (also, HIS CALLER TUNE IS TORTUROUS!)

Hi guys....

Is anyone using the Photon Pro Unlimited 2999 plan ?

If so, what's the download speed you are getting ? is there an Fair Usage Policy ? or any other problem with Photon Broadband, please care to share with me...

HD box is not der in calcutta, And 30 HD channels lol, those r just upscaled HD channels stretched not True HD channels

I will tell you what I have. I have UL750 connection for daytime usage, and a 500C connection for night unlimited use. That way I download almost 150GB/month with Rs.1250 p.m. I think that is the cheapest.

Sure! You can join us here http://broadbandforum.in/social-chat...w-post/#463623
Gives us a short intro of yourself and you are ready to roll :D

Well,
Normally, indian softwares are very different types of softwares. They are capable to do something innovative but they are useless for their use for what they are made. Like you said that Quickheal is capable to find nigerian scam. I think no other software can detect it except one or two. By the way, we can say that we have india antivirus software developing company and also we have indian operating system company 'BOSS' based on linux.

Wondering what were you googling that you landed here.
Welcome to the forums, hope you have a nice time.

From your inputs, it seems you are using normal (mini) sim, after cutting into the size of microsim. Whether you are using this sim, in normal phone or iphone / ipad, you will be connected with normal 3g plan only.

Now you are asking for ipad plan 999 etc. To get connected and use ipad plan, you must use only ipad microsim (whether to use in iphone and ipad or in normal phone and data cards).

You can not get ipad plan activated / charged in normal (mini) sim. You will be assigned specific mobile no for ipad connections.

I think everyone in world now knows Google... even coaching classes must be teaching abt just Google.

That 4.4% must be from toolbar extension or preset search box in url bar.. i have never heard anyone go to bing or yahoo search by typing it manually.

I used to get ~300ms pings to US gaming server. However since last month or so the ping has increased to ~600ms. My online gaming is totally destroyed.
I am on BSNL 899plan with 4mbps up to 8GB plan. Anyone else seeing this issue or any solution to this problem. I am located in bangalore.
www.google.com 595ms
Just noticed that ping to any website is above 500ms..aq

humm but thats good move indeed .. don't need some extra converter and some saving for consumer also ..

yes thats right, most of the indian HD channels like ZEE, STAR Plus, Colors are upscaled and not true HD channels so waste of money.

What is blasphemy law?

Anything said against Islam is considered a blasphemy and Penal Code of Islamic Republic of Pakistan are taken against who dares to that. The penalty ranges from a fine to death. More than 96% of Pakistan’s population is Muslim. If we compare anti-blasphemy laws of Muslim majority countries, Pakistan practices strictest laws. In 1927, the British colonial rulers of the sub-continent made it a criminal offence to commit “deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religious belief”. The law did not discriminate between religions. Pakistan’s late military ruler Mohammed Ziaul Haq, who was in power for 11 years from 1977, made several additions to its blasphemy laws, including life imprisonment for those defiling or desecrating the Holy Quran.

A number of people are killed in Pakistan for causing to Quran, some cases are posted below:

In November 1992, Gul Masih, a Christian, was sentenced to death after having remarked to his neighbor Mohammad Sajjad, a Muslim, he had read "that Mohammed had 11 wives, including a minor."
Riaz Ahmad, his son, and two nephews (Basharat Ahmad, Qamar Ahmad and Mushtaq Ahmad), all Ahmadis, were arrested and jailed on 21 November 1993. They were detained for having "said something derogatory." Local people in Piplan, Mianwali District, said that rivalry over Ahmad's position as village headman was the real motivation for the complaint against him. The Sessions Court rejected the bail applications of the accused. The Supreme Court granted bail in December 1997.

The police arrested Ayub Masih, a Pakistani Christian bricklayer for blasphemy on 14 October 1996 and jailed him for violation of § 295-C. Muhammad Akram, a Muslim neighbor to Masih, complained to the police that Masih had said Christianity was right, and Masih had recommended that Akram read Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses.

In August 2003, the police arrested a Christian, Samuel Masih, for allegedly defiling a mosque by spitting on its wall. While in prison, Masih contracted tuberculosis. The authorities transported him to a hospital. There, on 24 May 2004, a police constable used a hammer to kill Masih. The constable said it was his duty as a Muslim to kill Masih.

On December 12, 2010, during a press conference major Islamic parties in Pakistan launched a campaign for upholding the sanctity of Muhammad against the proposed amendment in the blasphemy laws.

On 4 August 2009, a Muslim mob attacked a factory-owner by the name of Najeebullah and others at Sheikhupura in the Punjab. The mob killed Najeebullah and two others, and set fire to the factory. The mob complained that Najeebullah had placed an outdated calendar, which contained verses from the Quran, on a table. For that offense, a worker accused Najeebullah of blasphemy. The workers may have been in a dispute with Najeebullah over wages

In November 2010, Asia Bibi was sentenced to death by hanging on a charge of blasphemy; the case that has yet to be upheld by the Lahore High Court has sparked international reactions. Punjab Governer Salman Taseer was shot dead by his security guard on supporting Asia Bibi. Salman Taseer visited Asia Bibi in Jail and held a press conference with her He told media that Asia Bibi will be released soon and President of Pakistan will soon demolish his death sentence. Mass protests in Pakistan were held in Pakistan against his support to Asia Bibi. Many local Mosque's Imams across Pakistan said that Salman Taseer has defiled Mohammad and he should also be sentenced to death.

And the most recent one

On March 2nd, 2011 Shahbaz Bhatti was killed by gunmen in Islamabad as he was travelling to work, a few weeks after he had vowed to defy death threats over his efforts to reform Pakistan's blasphemy laws.

Why is there such a tension between Pakistani Christian’s and Muslims, actually the thing is, according to Christians Lord Jesus Christ, is the last messenger of the Lord God and he is the God himself as he was not born by the natural sexual process, and his life was full of supernatural happenings and signs. And he accomplished a lot of rules and regulations mentioned in The Holy Bible. So, according to Christianity The Lord Himself came between us in human form and has accomplished everything and has set an example of a perfect human being so the Prophet era has ended. Excluding the Prophets mentioned in the Book of revelation.

According to Islam Lord Jesus Christ was a normal prophet and not The Lord God himself. And Prophet Muhammad came after him giving further diverse revelations to the human kind.

When a religious preacher preaches his/her beliefs, it’s considered a blasphemy in Pakistan. Shahbaz Bhatti was a liberal leader and was a Roman Catholic and he mentioned in his meetings lately that he is not safe as Talibani’s and various other non liberal people are strictly against his movement.

There is no doubt that this tense situations and increasing non liberal thinking and forces across the border is becoming a cause of concern for India.

Thnx Dude, I got my Tatasky+ HD installed at Guwahati and the picture quality amazing. Thanx all for the support.

^^ I think its possible only if your iphone is factory unlocked.

Which area in Gzb

Try downloading using a download manager like Free download manager or Internet download manger.

Some one told me that because it does not use the ADSL technology it is difficult to use a WIFI router. Please suggest if you have any more information for a noob like me. I mean someone also told me that you need to login each time on a web page to use the connection which adds to the WIFI issue.

Yuck, is it necessary to spell the whole name R-E-L-I-A-N-C-E
A fancy R would look much better.

We have a External Static IP with my Airtel Broadband connection which is configured on a Beetel 220 BX in NAT mode.

I want to give outside access (from WAN/Internet) to my Apache server which is running on one of my XP client system (inside LAN) which is having a fixed IP 192.168.1.50

I figured out that PortForwarding is the solution to open it up. For the concerned router its called "Virtual Server" and I could enter the appropriate table fields but when I "Save/Reboot" my Router it's Resetting to it's Factory Settings !! Here, again I have to configure my Static IP in order to get my internet connection back. I tried this four/five times but in vain.

What could be the reason...? Is it a faulty router or any mis configuration from my side. Expecting an early resolution.

Thanks in adv.

Hey bhagwaan.

Email 121@airtel.in with your complaint. Make sure subject of the email is your landline number(with STD code) without any space or special characters for fast response. Subject of your email should be 01244225066

Yeah Opera 11.50 dev builds are looking damm faster than prev. builds. Opera has really moved ahead fastly........as once it was known for just random crashes ! Recent days builds are very much usable and hardly ever crashes !

I finally got my Mono LnB replaced free of cost today by DishTV, took me some screaming and yelling at CC but got it after about 10 days.

Yes, first time user for Vodafone Mobile Connect :). I have already lodged a complaint, noted down the complaint number and even emailed the problem to them. Anyway my credit limit is Rs.2100 so it cannot go beyond that. But if they are giving 2GB limit, technically we cannot use that 2GB due to the low credit limit. Just a guess. Keeping my fingers crossed :huh:

PM'ed you Auro please reply back.

No you can take child pack, but HD should be parent and the normal should be Child. Also this needs to be done only when buying the STB and not later. I had done this after the fact in the past but my recent HD purchase I didnt mention upfront and so I have ended up paying more monthly for that.

1.) AFAIK no DVR
2.) Not yet, but they are on the way. There was some rumors that it could be upscaled, so unsure. I have the HD STB btw.
3.) CC sucks at times needing multiple calls sometimes and some yelling and abusing, but the job gets done. I just screamed at them for delaying me getting the Mono LnB and got it in a day after that.
4.) Clarity is good on DishTV HD or non-HD, I have 3 at home. And am satisfied.

for me also getting 850kb/s speed for night.:(
if they r change the track to 2mb or 4mb then it will resolve.but they don't do that.

iTunes store India does not accept my SBI Gold International Debit Card. :(

I think only Credit cards will be required in India.

airtel has strong network strength in my area :)
from past few weeks i am facing call drops, number busy if someone calls me :P so i decided to get back to airtel again... :)

Both the teams might have decided to tie the game to please Shane Warne :hysterical:

ram jaane.

ohh okye .. i was thinking about all apple products in price ......

None ?

ive been on tsky since 08 november after dumping the dishtv stb to some unknown corner of my house... Interestingly my dishtv connection still seems to be counted as active as I recieved an email and a call from the IVR thanking me for the *support* to dishtv's supposed march forward. Then a pesky dish cc chap started bugging me to get HDed and spend 700 a month for their stretched HD gimmick. I fail to understand the point why such absolutely false marketing ploys are being allowed legally. Cant we sue them in any way?

You Tube Video of Vodafone 3G Advertisement This is NOT an endorsement for Vodafone. I don’t like this company personally because I find them stupid. And arrogant. And zombified. But this is not to deny their brilliant marketing tactics. I haven’t come across a better product marketing in India (as far as telecom is concerned) [...]

Vodafone 3G India: Slick Promos

There are tonnes of them. Ball scratching, gas belching old haggards who have converted this place into a leech infested paradise. Enough said. The reason why I don’t deal with various NGO’s: 1) They are not clear what they are out to achieve. 2) Perverted sense of achievements. 3) Industry in their own right; funded [...]

"Customer Service" Organizations

Here’s from the BBC News where Ofcom wants the ISP’s to stop misleading news about Broadband. Currently most ISPs advertise services as ‘up to’ a certain speed – for instance, 20Mbps (megabits per second). But Ofcom’s latest research finds that very few consumers actually get these headline speeds. “There is a substantial gap between advertised [...]

Why TRAI can't be like Ofcom?

But waht abt existing group? Existing group wont have that feature? I cant create a completely new group to invite all members again, just for chat feature.

I have applied for Mobile Number Portability from loop mobile to Tata Docomo on 25th of Feb and i got a SMS saying "Your reques for Mobile Number Portability is registered succesfully" On 1st March i received a SMS from number 50911 saying MSSIDN: 98******** message type: port out Message:98******* rejected by reason: Bill overdue. I have a prepaid account and i don't understand why i have bill overdue. I call the customer service on loop mobile 800 they said i had no balance in my account i told them to kindly check again and they found out i have more then 30 rs in balance. The customer care were not able to give proper answe and told me to go and visit Loop Gallery. I don't know what wrong with those people. why have they rejected my Mobile Number Portability. Again i have to go thru the same procedure and again pay rs 19 for porting charge. THis is total nonsense. Kindly suggest what to do

Hello everyone
I have an E1550 3G modem which I now find slow. So, I need a new modem which is at least 7.2 Mbps or 21 Mbps and uploads of 5.76 Mbps, supports an external antenna, and supports the 1900 MHz 3G band along with 2100 MHz. Budget - Rs. 2700(max)
The options available to me are -
Huawei E122 - quoted 2600 on ebay.in
Huawei E173 - quoted 2450 on ebay.in
But the above 2 modems do not support the 1900 MHz band in 3G and the last one does not even support an external antenna
Huawei E176 - seems to fit my needs but cannot find an online store for this model.

I came across -
Huawei E1762 - being sold for 2600 - supports all that I need but have no clue on how the modem is.. Some say its pretty bad(slow surfing speeds, frequent disconnections, etc.). Can anyone please comment?
and UMG 1831 also fits the requirements but its no longer affordable.. Available at an online price of about Rs. 3300. (was available for Rs. 2700 a month back.. **sigh**)

What do you people suggest? Which is the best modem as per my requirements? and if I have to drop that requirement of 3G frequencies(which I dont really want to but have no options) then which is the best modem out of E122, E173, E1762 ?

no airtel will never pay u other than take money from u!!. if go through other threads in the airtel section u will find there a lots of ppl like u who r suffering from Airtel cheating them for diff reasons. I would suggest that u terminate ur connection immediately and go for other broadband providers. They r many ppl here from Madras who will let u know abt which provider is good

Tested an a 500KB file, so the result's not accurate.

Now all old customers who bought 6 month/3 month Unlimited plans before jan 30th '11 have been capped @1 Mbps in most states in south till their plan runs out!:ohyea:
new customers who subscribe Rs 1359/1500 /15Gb/month (or with out any fixed subcriptions in 3g sim )have no speed cap issues.
early morning up to 3.7 Mbps ,generally poor browsing during most of the day.evenings crawling speed with poor browsing to all .:o
what is the story about MTNL customers in Mumbai and Delhi.
Customers who bought 3 month and 6 month plans before Jan 30th are still capped or getting normal speed (1 to 3 mbps) ?
Is MTNL still offering U/L plans unlike BSNL ?
Aircel says they will give Rs 1275 U/L data plan with data card.(chennai,Hyd,bangalore launched).
In Mumbai which operator gives good speed and valure for money dta plan for 5/10/15/20 gb usage?:wink:

Is it?? I havent tried since I started this thread. If its true then fraudsters have found a new way to harass general public.
