Two weeks back i migrated to airtel's new broadband plan - 4MBps, 40GB plan. Ever since i did this, i am having a torrid time. The speeds are extremely inconsistent. I dont use torrents. I dont download either. I use my net only for streaming videos and watching movies. Now half my videos buffer be it on Youtube or dailymotion or any other video site. Earlier i had a 2MBps connection and had no problems whatsoever. Technically 4MBps should be a perfect fit for my kinda usage and it should work properly. But it ain't happening.

I have placed a complaint with airtel cc 3 times so far. While they have attended me promptly, the issue has not been resolved. It works fine for a couple of hours and then the issue would be back again. If i check on Speedtest.net i get 4 MBps speed. But when i stream any video it buffers. If i download any file from apple.com or microsoft.com , it shows varying speeds. Sometimes i get 400KBps and i start believing that now the issue is resolved. Then on seeing videos buffer, i check download speeds again and it would be downloading at 100 or 150 KBps. Worst part is, speeds drop below 1Mbps or 512KBps at times and leave me totally frustrated.

No problems with my system, i have checked it. Moreover, all was working fine before the plan change. I am absolutely clueless now. Can someone please help me out.

Finally saw the movie today and no doubt movie is good, however too many flashbacks. After some time I got confused. The cinematography is fabulous.

Got a very annoying neighbor who was too loud when he was laughing!

Tikona. Read about them on the forum.

Frankly speaking, i didnt like MIB 3 that much. Yes i havent watched the first 2 parts of the series, but still, the scenes looked all over exaggerated!

I had the same problem and didn't got resolved after several complaints.
I finally sent mail to BSNL grievance cell that did the trick, they fixed in two days though. You may want to try the same, I don't have address but you should find it in their site.

Somehow i tend to hate looking at the same kind of phone day in & day out......it has to have something different atleast every month, or 2 months!
