Hi there,

 

I have taken a 8 Mbps with a cap of 30 GB plan from Airtel in New Delhi. They are promising me d/l speed of 8 Mbps. However upload speed is not defined by them anywhere. I get an download speed of 6-7 Mbps and an upload speed of 0.37Kbps. Screen shot attached. 

 

Can someone tell me what should be the proper upload seed on a 8 Mbps download pipe on an Airtel account? I am planing to take them to the consumer court on this, as they don't tell while selling their services that this is what they are giving as in upload and download speeds etc. 

 

Can anyone give me a world standard norms for DSL broadband speed? Appreciate a quick reply.

 

Regards,

Sanjeev

Airtel Broadband has some new absurdly priced broadband plans (if possible give this post or the thread a +1!)

thanks.

Does anyone have the new 10/20/50/100 Mbps High speed plans? They seem much better than Airtel's plans. What kind of connections are they?

no 500 combo in their web site,wat about old users???

The screen of my Galaxy Nexus cracked today.

Was sitting in the car with the phone on my lap. On getting out, I searched for the phone in the pocket and couldn't find it. Later I saw it lying outside the car, on the concrete. It fell there when I got out of the car. And I identically even stepped on it (that's the moment when it cracked) before figuring it out lying on the ground.
So when I picked my phone, the screen was cracked. I can receive calls and everything works but the display is off and the screen is cracked.

So I want to know that where in Mumbai can I get it repaired? And how much will be the approximate cost?

Hey guys, i am facing very slow surfing speeds today after 9 pm, almost every site like mediafire, facebook is opening like it's on some dial up connection. Downloading speed is fine. Tried using both mtnl dns and google dns but same results. Any one having similar issues?

Q&Q Analog Watch - For Women

Hello guys, this is my first post on this forum...How is this data card?

Huawei E3131Data Card: Flipkart.com

Does it has USSD feature? Any one who own this data card, please comment and tell how is the signal reception quality?

I am presently using vodafone 3g in my nokia phone. I use the phone as modem in my laptop to use skype frequently.
Whenever I use skype, my phone gets heated up very much. So I called up nokia care and they said it is normal with 3g and it will not affect the phone.

But I think it also affects the phone's longevity and battery life also.

Could you please give me suggestion if it would be better to buy a 3g dongle instead of using the phone as modem?

Hi Sir /Mam

Currently i plan to buy new data card i have one pc and one tab and i need data card for surfing the internet both device , i see Micromax 400R (MiFi) Data card on website , is connect to computer without WiFi because in my PC no any WiFi device install, And

Which Data card is best ? must also heat proof , 3G Gsm , Strong Signal

1 Micromax

2 Hwawei

My budget is Rs 2000 to 2500 Kindly give Answer along with Company name and model number

Now if you want to download loads of data the Rs.9 for 30 mins or Rs.17 for 45 mins(Maharashtra&Goa) is the best
In 24 hours you can download 50-65gb depending on your area and speed(in my area I get 800kB/s-1MB/s)

Total cost for 24 hours by Rs.9 30mins = 48*9=Rs.432

Total cost for 24 hours by Rs.17 45mins = 32*17=Rs.544

Like me if you watch a movie a day but you have a slow connection and you want to get the movie instantly then in Rs.270 a month (Rs.9 recharge everyday) you can get 41.1987305 GB by average speed of 800kB/s(so you can count the amount of movies)
In Rs.17 for 45 mins you get 61.7980957 GB(recharge everyday for a month) by average speed of 800kB/s at Rs.530

Offers 1 GB 3G Data for Rs.124

Thought I would start another thread for people who have actually used this service to describe their experience.

They have started advertising quite heavily in Bombay and their plans seem pretty decent. Their 600kbps UL plan would be excellent for me.

I really like the way they have bill limits for their limited plans as well. That shows they understand consumer concerns about enormous bills and have designed their plans to allay them.

So how good is their service? Any down time? How quickly do they respond to complaints? Really any information from people who have used Tikona would be appreciated.

Hi,

Recently I bought Dlink DSL-2750U modem+router for home use. I want to configure this router but router WAN port accepts RJ11 cable.

And tikona has RJ45 cable.

So anybody can suggest solution for this problem?

Also this router has USB port for connecting internet dongles.

Thanks,
Amit Mande

Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos hands-on (video)

Welcome the Galaxy Grand Duos (and Grand, a single-SIM version), a 5-inch WVGA device that will likely see most of its time in emerging markets. Underneath the back cover sits a pair of micro-SIM slots -- one on each side of the 2,100mAh removable battery -- and a microSD that's capable of up to 64GB external storage. For anyone who needs more than the included 8GB memory, this will come in handy. Near the top you'll see the 8MP rear-facing camera, LED flash and external speaker.

btw... a commentator raised a valid point on the engadget article... people might criticize this model for having a shitty resolution but it is a great device for people with poor vision like old people.

http://techwhack.co/farhan-akhtar-chooses-myntracom-spread-awareness-mard-campaign-rape-discrimination-44211/

 

 

In an effort to support and further strengthen Farhan Akhtar's social cause MARD (Men Against Rape and Discrimination), Myntra.com today announced the exclusive launch of MARD T-shirts on their website. This being a non-profitable campaign, the t-shirts are priced at a manufacturing cost of Rs. 199 only and are available for both men and women.

The increasing incidents of sexual violence and brutality against women in particular are a serious cause of worry for the entire country. Post the Delhi rape incident, Farhan channeled his anger in the form of a poem called 'What is this country that I live in'. The poem garnered tremendous reactions. Amongst the sea of calls Farhan received, an idea was born with Tarun Chauhan, creative director of JWT and Atul Kasbekar of Bling. The trio came together and created a platform called MARD.

 

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.

 

MS staff

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

The new settings area added, after you've got the latest version of Extras + Info is "Call + SMS Filter," which essentially does exactly what the name suggests.

The only reason why I had got Samsung Omnia W was this feature. This feature was provided by Samsung since WP7.

:thumbup1::thumbup1::clapping::clapping:

I recently ported my Vodafone connection to Docomo. I have a Nokia Lumia 920, but I realized that I'm unable to use my phone's data connection as a wi-fi hotspot. Other devices can connect to my Lumia 920 when internet sharing is turned on, but the connection just doesn't work on the other devices. But I'm able to browse the internet and download on my phone at 3G speeds without any problems. So I just wanted to know, does Tata Docomo block tethering of its 3G connections? If not, are there any manual seetings I need to enter, to enable internet sharing? Please let me know if ay of you are able to use a mobile Docomo connection as a wi-fi hotspot. If this has ben possible for you, that means there is probably some issue with my phone or settings. Please help me out. Thank you.

Last week a guy came and gave a pamphlet stating that they have started a new broadband service called NetExpress. I spoke with the marketing guys and subscribed for 1 Mbps. So far the service is good and the TAT for installation is 1 day, below is the tariff for the service provider

Speed 1 Mbps 2 Mbps 4 Mbps 8 Mbps
Data Usage Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited
1 Month Subcription Charge Rs. 499 /- Rs. 799 /- Rs. 1299 /- Rs. 1699 /-

Cons
1.No Auto dialer(each time we need to Provide User ID and Password in case of Disconnection)
2. Mid month plan change is not Possible

Pros
1.No Fair Usage Policy
2.Pricing is somewhat good
3.Once connected it never disconnects
4.Wireless can be configured

So far the experience is good with the provider

Since Nokia Lumia 928 is planned for Verizon US, 925 could be International version of 928.

 

The specs of the Lumia 925 are expected to be the same as the Lumia 928, with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset, a 4.5" 720p HD display, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a camera that supposedly will perform excellently in low-light conditions, and of course it will run on Windows Phone
