Change your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 respectively

Reconnect to broadband and see if the problem persists

how long does it take to get a new broadband connection?

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 01:01 PM PST

just make sure you do not give cash to anyone who comes to get the papers filled in.

even check is a bad move.

i think reliance does offer installation charges to be added to the first bill. though not sure.

VIDEOCON HD-DVR Price reduced

I asked d2h cc regarding hd dvr's price cut & offers...they said that we will got 1 month platinum hd pack with new price also.....hope it's true...although cc is not a right source for a true news...
From what info appears on the site under the "Buy" option, it looks like there is no such pack included. I hope that it remains, so atleast that consolation of Rs. 441 is assured!! :(


Bharti Airtel bags six lakh 3G subscribers.....Ar u joking

When I asked them about the cost they told me that there would be no difference in voice calls but for data it would be marginally higher. Since I use my phone only for voice calls I left it at that. But I guess I am one of those 6 lakh new 3G customers they roped in :imwink:

actually i thought so when they transfered me to 3g automatically but u dont get 3g signals all places,it dont convert to 2.75g network automatically where u dont get 3g signals, u cant check the mobiles whether u get signals r not all the time so its better to be in 2.75g network till it covers entire state !!!

Is the Udaan project page broken?

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 10:42 AM PST

Not sure which plan to take. I want the 4Mbps one for 1350.

.:COMBO BB Unlimited:. - here it says BBG Combo ULD 1350

On the plan selector there's BB Combo ULD but not BBG. Is BB Combo and BBG Combo different? It makes no sense. One is 2Mbps and the other is 4Mbps and they cost the same.


Vodafone EDGE/GPRS speed reduced after 3G launch?

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 10:40 AM PST

Hi SVK,
Although the speed that I am getting in North Delhi is so poor that, in case it is reduced further then the services will get stopped completely. From last three months i am getting a speed of 50 kbps & a download speed of 2 kbps on my system.
I am not able to connect to Vodafone 3G even for a minute so far & is still using the Vodafone EDGE.
The same is happening from last 3 months & I am really tired with the Vodafone product.
I have made many complaints & they are telling me that it will be fixed soon when 3G will be launched in whole of Delhi. Till then they are asking me to wait more. I don' know what to do & feel like going to the consumer court.

MTNL introduces new BILL-CAP based Circuit Breaker Plans

Posted: 09 Mar 2011 08:58 AM PST

Ooops I just read the fine print :readtherules: one point sticks out
Note:-1) No monthly CPE rental for above plans, one time upfront charges for CPE is payable as applicable
2) Capping of bill is only for broadband data usage and monthly service charge. Landline rental and call charges will be charged extra, as applicable.
3)Free Data Usage will include download and upload data transfer usage for the above plans.
4)Service tax extra as applicable.

So anyone who wants to opt for this please make it a point to include your upload too, if you are checking your historical consumption thru some usage meter (I use DU meter). My interest has waned somewhat for these plans as other limited plans have not counted the upload so far. :rolleyes:

Moral: Look before you leap.

TRAI gets maximum subscriber complaints against Bharti airtel - The Economic Times

NEW DELHI: India's largest mobile operator Bharti airtel is also on top when it comes to subscriber complaints related to billing, metering and tariff-related issues and activation of value-added services without customer consent.

In the last three years, TRAI received as many as 3,571 complaints from Bharti airtel subscribers, 2,151 from Reliance customers and 1,896 from Vodafone Essar's clientele.

In all three years -- 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 (up to December 2010) -- the maximum complaints were against Bharti airtel

The problem with TRAI is it did nothing about these complaints so the number of complaints dont matter!

Planning to go for Tikona from MTNL Broadband - Your feedback required for Mumbai

please guide me how is this broadband service in Mumbai?

I suggest you ask Tikona about the location of the nearest access point. If it isn't close to you (<200 m) don't touch their service. Next ask them for contact info of other users in your area. Interview those users and get their feedback. The reviews for Tikona have been pretty bad but then again it is possible that only those with bad experiences tend to post about it.
Finally note one more difference in metrics between MTNL and all the rest. MTNL only meters downloads. So it means your usage is 8 GB downloads per month. With Tikona, it may go higher depending on how much you upload.
All in all, if you really get the connection quality they claim, you should be OK.

Wisely choose plan, since there are some plans with no installation charges.

Couple of caveats here. First of all, reports indicate that their demos show a quality of connection far better than subscribers actually obtain subsequently. Secondly, I would be wary of going for the "no installation charge" options as they tie you into a longer term commitment.

Query regarding Spectranet Broadband

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 09:53 PM PST

1) What's the installation charges ? Does it depend uopn the feasabilty and area?
This is charges by the local cable operator and depend upon the feasibility. Spectranet does not charge this. You can negotiate the same with the operator.

2) Why shud we pat extra maintainence charges? He said it becoz of feasabilty.
This is again charged by the cable operator and Spectranet has no control on this. You can evaluate based on your total monthly cost viz a viz BSNL.

A question regarding porting from Vodafone to any network.

Posted: 08 Mar 2011 02:00 PM PST

I am planning to shift to Idea.....
Of what i have heard till now is - any "Prepaid" balance standing to our name, when we switch, gets forfeited & we dont get anything out of it.....
Is this true, or just a myth?? If its just a myth, then i can switch over right now itself, coz i am fed up of giving away my balance to Vodafone. Their charges, especially STD and all are pathetic - Idea has far better plans that can suit me.
