Presently stuck up with "Midnight's Children". Thinking of some new novels, please suggest some.

 

The tragic death of a beautiful young girl starts a tense and atmospheric game of cat and mouse between hunter John Moon and the hardened backwater criminals out for his blood.

 

 

Remember a few weeks back when we reported that Google was working on an ultra-affordable Chrome dongle for TVs or displays called the Chromekey? At the time, we thought Chromekey would be the device name and that you would be able to "CAST" (term used by our source) your Chrome browser from desktop or mobile Chrome browser to any display to have a bigger browsing experience. Well, according to Google Play support docs, that device appears to have been renamed to Chromecast.

They have set a limit of Rs. 1 lakhs on my card. :\ Need to get it reduced.

Hey guys !

                 Just to let you know that i am now getting 1mbps! I have already consumed my 6GB quota.  I was throttle back to 512kbps on 5 july (got connection on 2july at 3pm!) Now again it is revised back to 1mbps ! Sometimes it even hits 240kilobytes ! That is insane!

 

Oh and just to let you know that speed is not even fluctuating like it used to do before ! When downloading from Chrome it remains steady at 127KBps all the time ! Anyone having same experience?

Hey guys,

                  I just want to send my router back for replacement. First they said they will include pre-paid shipping label but now they are refusing it. Now they are telling me to arrange courier on my own. So, pre-paid label is not possible in india? Any courier which offer this ?

Hello Rajeev thanks for your review.

 

I was a little skeptical about taking up Beam Broadband because it is new in my area, but I've been using Beam for the past 2 months now and I couldn't be happier! It took me 2 days to get my connection active, and there's been no looking back since. I used to have to wait half a day to download a 700 MB Movie, but now I downloaded season 3 of Game of Thrones(3.4GB) in less than an hour!

 

Till now I have only had one issue and that was fixed, so can't really complain there. Much better than my previous connection! I would definitely advise getting Beam for those who need a super fast connection. Keep it up guys!

HI,I am staying in SPS Residency,Vaibhav Khand ,Indirapuram.I have taken Airtel wireless broadband .We are 6 Users for the 1 router.We had initially taken 30GB and it got finished in a week and half.

We did not download that much still!!..I would like to switch to some local broadband service which provides unlimited data usage and with a minimum downtime.Any suggestions please.

Hi, since last month I've been using internet booster card on my android mobile with TATA DOCOMO number. When I put the sim first time in the mobile I received three APN settings, one for browsing their portal which is Tata Docomo Dive In, one for MMS and one for all other activities which is Tata Docomo Internet. But most of the time my mobile is not able to connect to the Tata Docomo Internet APN which is for general propose, but some times when it does connects i get good speed and able to access internet normally. But I can connect to the other APN Tata Docomo Dive In without a problem which is for accessing their portal but with Tata Docomo Dive In setting I'm not able to access internet through any apps like facebook, opera mini, maps and etc. I tried calling customer care but it turned out to be no use I think Docomo is trying to cheat people by offering cheap net plans which is of no use... Any solutions??? Or anyone else facing such problem?

Hello Everybody

 

I always have an opinion that we should not invest considerable money in Google Android based mobile phones if it is not the top end mobile phone.

Buying Google Nexus based mobile phones would protect our investment for some period of time.

As daily new mobile phones from Indian Companies or foreign companies are being released. 

 

So, i always would keep an eye on India based Android brands.

As I have seen many mid-range android mobile phones from prominent brands too sucks.

But, people around me would always advise me to resist Android mobile phones developed or sold by Indian companies.

Previously, india based android mobile phones would small battery to easily deem it as inferior.

But nowadays only differentiation for India based android mobile phones are the processor being used, which is always would be based on MTK. 

 

Are all in-expensive android mobile phones sold by Indian Companies are that much inferior or short-lived ?

Are all mobile phones sold by Indian companies are Chinese re-branded models ? 

I invite members who use Android mobile phones sold by Indian companies to give their insights,

Hi,

 

I have been a MTNL mumbai user since long back when they had the 4500 unlimited plan.

 

After that, i migrated to the Rs.2500  100 Gb plan.

 

 

Usually never needed any support except once when i needed a Sim change and that was handled pretty fast the CSC.

 

 

Just wanted to let users know about my current experience.

 

So, I use the Sim in Mumbai, Pune and Currently have just Moved onto Bangalore where i am using my MTNL mumbai sim on Roaming for Data Only.

 

Since moving to bangalore, was facing a severe speed issue and speeds never crossed 50 kbps (the kbps is correct) which from my understanding, was slower that my vodafone 2g which i use on Mobile (unfortunately, vodafone does not have 3g in Karnataka).

 

After filing 2-3 complaints and getting pissed off, i finally wrote a email explaining my problem in details, providing my contact number and all relevant information and emailed to a few emails ids i found. i will not post them here but they are available on the MTNL mumbai website for all.(if someone is not able to find it and has tried all other resolution mechanisms, let me know and i will provide it)

 

This i sent at around 11 Am 23rd July 2014 (yesterday)

 

Now the magic started happening. Within ~30 mins  get a call from MTNL Mumbai clarifying my problem and asking locations details of where exactly i am and so on.

This was followed up by an Email confirming that the problem is under resolution and both MTNL and BSNL(since karnataka is BSNL) officials have been informed and that i should be getting multiple calls from different locations soon and continuous followup happening.

 

Next, around 3 Pm, someone from MTNL mumbai called me saying that we have not found any problems with the MTNL network in Mumbai and the problem lies somewhere else and we can only check once i come back to mumbai. she did not seem to know i was not in mumbai but in bangalore (maybe this person was not informed )

 

next around 15 mins after that, i get another call confirming the same as above and updating me that BSNL has been informed and they are continuously following up on this and will keep me updated.They also mentioned that they are sharing my contact details with BSNL and i should expect a call soon.

 

 

around 5 Pm, i get a call from BSNL  asking me mylocation details, where i am using and so on.

 

Now, Today, around 11 Am, i get a call from MTNL mumbai asking me when is the best time to call me and put me on conference with a team from BSNL (was shocked that they actually care about mytime preference)

 

Now, i get a call from MTNL and then they put me in conference with a guy from ZTE - BSNL which i think handles their network in Karnataka.

 

Did not need to explain anything else and the guy from BSNL just asked me to connect to internet and check the speed and he is doing the same from his end (something like adding my number on his monitor or something).

 

Seeing vast improvement in speed. Youtube videos playing perfectly.

 

In the past 1 hour, i have already received 3 confirmation calls(from the same guy from MTNL) for the speed issue, explaining me the issue and apologizing and providing direct contact details of the person from BSNL and asking me to call him directly for any issues i face in future.

 

Sorry for the Long post but this kind of a service given by MTNL was worth the post.

 

btw, currently getting 2 mbps in Bangalore on 3G

 

I Just resetted my modem at 08:30pm on 28/04/2012 and see the result



If U still doubt, I can post screenshot of my data downloaded from MTNL's site.

----------

I am using this plan since Dec 2011. You can see that I have downloaded/Uploaded almost 340GB

Before I was thinking that this is temporary.
