Alternatively, when I used Nokia OVI, internet was not working at all, but it was connected.

And yes, I have installed patch for usbser.sys from following location as mentioned in another thread:
KB925681 - When you try to download a file from the Internet by using Internet Explorer, the download stops responding.
I have now enabled high speed data transfer in my phone. Now connection quality has been improved.



As per MTNL customer care guy, monthly usage limit is of 200GB. After that normal rate of 1p/10KB will be charged from the main balance. Same charge will be applicable while roaming on BSNL as well as MTNL Mumbai.

How exactly does only DishTV have access to all these HD channels.
Mate, these people are just making a mockery of customers.....only 4-5 TRUE HD channels. Rest all are upscaled.

In those 4-5 i think these are the ones - NGC HD, Discovery HD, ESPN HD, Star Cricket HD, and dont remember if they have Movies Now HD or not - thats what i have read across everywhere.....so be ASSURED, that i am not posting my personal bias.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011: 25th Match, Group B - India v Netherlands

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 12:06 PM PST

After seeing so many upsets & near upsets, i too feel, its not the right time to experiment with team combo.

As regards qualifying, i reckon we need 1 win flat & we a thru, coz we have 1 point out of that tied match, that can keep us ahead of another team, who has won 3 games......

Need resignation letter samples.

Shifting from Aircel to MTNL 3G in Delhi - Need Reviews, Coverage Details, Actual Customer Stories

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 08:47 AM PST

Thanks for the inputs. Yes, E51 has supports upto 3.6mbps, but for that one has to ENABLE "High Speed Packet Access" setting in tools. Now, E51 network indicator shows 3.5G instead of 3G(when connected) and I get download speeds upto 2mbps.

The problem with the connection is that most of the times download speed gets stuck around 350kbps, even if E51 network indicator displays 3.5G.
Ping is highly variable from 240ms to 1200ms.


At night the connection is getting better :)

Reliance Big TV DTH Connection / Brochure Pictures Attached

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 08:29 AM PST

Hello Friends,

Finally my efforts got me a good result, i am going to give you a great news that my STB2 has been replaced (for FREE) with a hyundai STB3 today.

Following are proof and pictures taken (you can see Star Cricket is today's NZ v/s PAK match).

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6...italtvstb3.jpg
http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1...altvsoftwa.jpg

I must tell you not just picture quality but AUDIO clarity is superior than STB2. After hearing voice on STB3, what i was getting on STB2 was just a sort of 1970 radio station voice!!! I was keeping my voice on 40 or 50 and i could hear properly but on this new STB3; at the level of just 5 or 6, it is damn powerful voice that i am getting out from that. WOW experience NOW.

I am so happy and so much satisfied with RELIANCE that finally they got in action and gave me a solution without charging me any money even though my warranty expired 2 years ago.

---

Anyway, logo is bigger and doesnt look good but still its better than having "BIG TV" in red. At least, i got from that big red symbol out of it. They can simply get rid of that blue background now and white font "RELIANCE" written is just good for them to go.

I dont think that menu change has become any faster for now. Its still too slow. but overall i am happy that at least they came up with something.

Yeah, I know that service may not be worse than what we are getting right now from our existing company. It would be 100 times better.
New set up always gives better and then rest of it depends upon the maintenance team. That is why, we have different different review of same ISP from different different place. This may not happen with hayai. Because I do not think their technology have any problem to do with cable cut or downtime due to power cut. It could be a permission issue which may take 1-2 days to solve if it is not solved. Hayai Lite is there......
Well, waiting to get it.... Hope after they may get all clearance and all formalities.

I do not like the title of this thread :(

Maybe you want to change it to 'Only in the USA' or something similar.

Otherwise its a bit inflammatory & unwarranted.

I did not take you be be anti-US. Yeah, i can tell the content isn't but then the title should reflect this don't you think.

I called up the technical support and the guy who came to my place says this is fine and signal drops like this. He is not willing to replace the existing router with a new one and says he can replace my current router with old repaired router.
Airtel confirmed that the router should work fine within 10 meters but signal strength drops after 4 meters. Is this normal?
What are the options I have?

I think buffalo infinity is a solution to your problem.
Please help.

dont just blindly support Reliance coz its the biggest cheater when it comes to power supply in mumbai.

and when u switch over to TPC - only the billing cycle and meter will be of Tata power. the power will be supplied by reliance and for that only they charge 10% extra + wheeling charges.
How much savings can be done with a tata power??

MTNL reduces upload speed charges from 500Rs/month/256kbps to 150Rs/month/256kbps

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:11 AM PST

You dont need static IP... DynDNS enough for small setup. (i am using it from 3-4 yrs now)

incase u want static IP.. i think they charge u 1000Rs per year .. i.e. ~ 100 Rs month

BSNL 3G: Capped and trapped...

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 12:23 AM PST

Im seeing here tat ppl blast at officials in BSNL for not letting them know the situation cud get this bad. For those who cry foul that they don't get speeds all the time, are you nt aware of wat WL internet is capable of? I am sure u are the ones use it throughout the day for torrents and stuff (just like I do). We knew wat coud happen but when it happened, we cry foul and blame it on bsnl. I bought 3G just bcoz there was no BB wired conxn in my area and 3g was the only option.i took an Unlimited plan and I feel contented of wat I got form it. I m glad that bsnl withdrew the Unlimited pans forever. Why don't u guys compare Airtel, Vodafone etc who are involved in daylight robbery. My point here is, if u get standard speeds around 1mbps, feel satisfied with it . u don't get Unlimited 1.5mbps on a wired BB for this cost. If the reality is this, the only way to go about it is to be contented with wat we have.

BSNL 3G Bangalore - Reviews

Posted: 07 Mar 2011 10:46 PM PST

I am thinking of switching from Airtel to BSNL using Mobile Number Portability next month when I become eligible.
Mainly pissed off with the 3g in Airtel. If you are travelling by bus it goes on and off switching to GPRS at times.
Also when it regains 3G it doesn't always work.
Anyway, question is, is it easy to get a BSNL sim card for Mobile Number Portability or do I have to wait for customer centers to get sim cards?
How is the 3g connectivity across Bangalore? Is it stable enough and reliable?

If i buy 3G iPad in India - i know it will be unlocked.



Your friend who is using bsnl 3G on ipad 1 - can you confirm with him where he bought it and if he had to jail break it (Thanks in advance)



Its in case i am travelling in car and want to browse on iPad.

One more doubt now :)
I was wondering if joikuspot will help me here ?? (3G on my smart phone - make it a hotspot and connect iPad 2 to it - will it work ??)
Srry for the late reply but I didnt realize there had been a post in this section... Anyway my frnd got his Ipad from an Apple store in New York in August 2010... He poped in a BSNL 3g sim into it & it worked flawlesly...
About the AT&T/verizon versions... Well itsmpretty clear u should buy the GSM version (aka the AT&T one)... Just remember to buy it from the Apple Store & not the AT&T stores... Also We have seen a recent price drop on the original Ipad in india plus the Apple India site has an Ipad2 video on its main page... This coupled with the fact that Apple is looking to sell 40mil+ units of Ipad2 given me the feeling we might see a blanket worldwide launch(including India) very soon... I think it might be better to w8 for an India launch...

BTW Ipad2 might not have the facetime problem like the IPhone4 had coz its based on email rather than ur Phone no...


Also I personally prefer the Ipad 3g version rather using a phone as a router coz it eats up the battery of the phone very fast & the battery life of my phone is rather imp to me:)...
