BSNL Broadband routing problem seems to have been resolved

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 10:25 AM PDT

I made a thread a few days ago complaining about BSNL's horrible routing. Well it looks like it has been fixed. I thank all the guys who made efforts to bring this to BSNL's notice. Especially Anurag Bhatia who highlighted the issue with much detail on his blog

Latency of gaming servers on BSNL FTTH Broadband?

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 10:25 AM PDT

Hi,

I don't see another FTTH thread even though BSNL is offering it too so I'll ask here.

It would be nice to know and perhaps sticky what sort of latency FTTH users are getting to popular FPS game servers in Asia. Latency is everything here.
A simple traceroute will do, but the output of pathping works too. This is best done late night to see the lowest latency.

I have listed some servers for Team Fortress 2, I can add Counter Strike GW too:

203.116.80.199:27016
111.118.186.226:27016
216.12.220.168:22075

The port numbers are there in case you want to check latency in Steam, else ignore it for traceroute.
If some of you could measure and post this with the city you are in, I would be grateful.

Tata DOCOMO INTERNET APN does not work most of the times

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 10:19 AM PDT

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?

I don't understand these bad reviews about ACT!

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 09:39 AM PDT

Seriously people, is ACT that bad?

Here is what went with me.
 

Before going for ACT I had made up my mind to go with BSNL's EVDO as I had read all these bad reviews about ACT. I went to BSNL's CSC and they made me visit their place for continuous 4 days without any progress about the connection. After that, leaving BSNL aside, here is how ACT worked for me,

Day 1 - 24/06/2013 : I called up ACT's number and they registered my details
Day 2 - 25/06/2013 : ACT's guy came and took the money.
Day 3 - 26/06/2013 : I called the sales guy (the one who took money) and asked whether it was possible to get the set up today and he replied it could be possible or I would it get for sure within 3 days as promised. Within an hour a technician was at my place set up the connection!
Day 4 - 27/06/2013 : I got a message about my documents being accepted and another message that my connection could be active within 10 days. After 3 hours, ACT's guy called up and verified my details and gave username/password and my connection was active!

 

Speed is as promised and ping is good enough to play Counter Strike. 

I don't know anything about down times and stuff yet. But so far ACT's service wasn't as unprofessional as many people here have complained about getting a new connection.

I'll keep updating about the disconnections, down times and after sales stuff. For the record, I stay in Malleshwaram.

Promotional SPAM over USSD

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 04:29 AM PDT

Although I have enrolled myself into the NCCP Registry as a do not call customer, but still getting lots of promotional messages on my mobile number. I am exhaustibly using the 'India Against Spam'  Android application thus disconnecting over 10 Spamming mobile numbers in a week.

 

From yesterday I have started seeing a new trend...Vodafone has started pushing the promotional messages over the USSD and since USSD messages are not saved and there is no log made, how to report such kind of prommotional messages?

Reliance Broadband down in Mumbai - western suburbs

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 03:08 AM PDT

My Internet service has been down for the last 4 days and Reliance Broadband customer service would promise to get it rectified. Eventually I got really pissed and asked to talk to a manager. My Krishna came online and informed me that the problem is with Reliance and BMC as Reliance has not paid the rents and BMC has cut the service and they have no "ETR" aka ETA for the service to be up. Well so I figured that this is now not working for me. I am already fishing for another provider in the Mumbai murky waters.

Apparently the Reliance Broadband service has had this problem earlier; Mr. Krishna told me so and this has been corroborated by this Forum and also my family informed me the same - I was traveling out of India and recollected the issue. Reliance and BMC have problems and all that Reliance really does is dig elsewhere and provide access. This is cheating in my opinion. If the company does not have a proper cable system, has rent issues or plain does not have the necessary infrastructure to provide a service, they should not sell the service. I may go to the consumer court for the loss of my opportunities and the time spent on call and still not having internet access.

If there are other people in the Western suburbs facing this problem, please ping me and let us get together to file a case against Reliance.

How do I get Reliance wireline connection in Chennai?

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 12:24 AM PDT

So after being fed up with BSNL, I decided to try out reliance wire-line broadband connection. But problem is, how do I get the connection?

 

I tried to call them but they ask me to enter my 'Registered phone number or subscriber ID" in order to proceed. Needless to say, to have none of those. I even tried mailing them but haven't got any reply so far. Filled up even their online form and submitted it yet I did not get any call from them. 

 

So if anyone has any idea how to get in contact with them and get connection / information regarding fixing of broadband, please let me know. 

 

Thanks!

Stay away from ACT, Jayanagar 4th T Block, ACT is shameless.

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 11:13 PM PDT

To whom it may concern,

 

I've been using ACT for a long time, it started off well, kept me happy for a few months and then ACT got shameless and they just don't care about anything anymore. You are doing an atrocious job.

So I'm putting it out for people to warn that you SHOULD stay away from ACT, trust me, they just don't care whatever you do. You don't pay, they don't care, you shout on the phone, they don't care, you are nice to them, they don't care. So yea, looks like they made of customers and are stealing their money anyway thus the shamelessness.

 

 

Please think upteen times before you call them and say you want a connection.

 

We have 3 connections alone running in my house, these are the phone numbers registered

1. 974036895x
2. 953804999x
3. 990091029x

I've been having serious problems with the internet, we all use it often and there are disconnections every other alternate day, No kidding. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY attends to us. What is your problem really in this area? Why don't the technicians attend ASAP? They take days to come and fix a problem when you call, and then the next day, it disconnects and then nobody hears you out.

 

I've been thinking, you should remove the "GOOD" testimonials off your website and replace them with what we write here.

I still have Airtel running in my house, I'm glad this has been my backup, now if you guys don't attend/call me the moment you read this mail, I'm going to have this connection disconnected since it's been really useless for me. I can't keep paying for services that aren't attended.
I'm not going to pay the month's bill because, I see that that's the only way I get get your attention and have you called.

 

Shame on you, ACT.

I created a account on Broadband forum just to create this post. So far the most horrible customer experience and harassment. I have paid the amount and its been close to 3 weeks nothing has happened from their end.

 

PLEASE DONT BUY ACT GUYS... THESE GUYS ARE CHEATING!

 

I had read bad reviews but still they convinced me its only in some parts and now things are getting better ..

 

I paid to one guy named Vinod who promised me connection in 7 days .. its been more than  3 weeks now.

 

There is another guy roaming around in our locality. I asked where the other guy is and there is no response.

 

Jayanagar 2nd block they said is a new addition but have been cheated.

Kovy stays top at Silverstone

Wednesday, 25 June 2008 17:26

Heikki Kovalainen completed an encouraging second day of testing for McLaren at Silverstone by remaining on top of the times at the end of Wednesday's session.

The Finn, who finished second and 0.3s behind Ferrari rival Felipe Massa on Tuesday, completed 72 laps in the MP4-23 with his best time from the morning session of 1m20.015s remaining unbeaten during the rest of the day.

It was also an impressive day for Toyota, whose strong form from Magny-Cours continues at Silverstone with Jarno Trulli setting the second fastest lap, almost 0.4s back on Kovalainen.

Kovalainen: We’ve made progress

Wednesday, 25 June 2008 19:09

Heikki Kovalainen believes McLaren has made a definite step forward in competitiveness at this week’s Silverstone test and is confident the Mercedes-powered team will be able to challenge Ferrari at the British Grand Prix.

The Finn topped the times on Wednesday by 0.4s and declared himself satisfied with the way the car handled on both days.

“I think we’ve made a small step forward,” he told reporters at Silverstone.

“Looking at the runs, I was consistently able to set very competitive times; it wasn’t just one run that we did just to get a time. That is quite encouraging.

Former Champ: Schu could return to racing

Saturday 1st December 2007

Posted Image


Former F1 Champion Alan Jones reckons Michael Schumacher may be considering a comeback after an impressive test at Barcelona two week's ago.

Although Schumacher retired from F1 at the end of the 2006 season, the German returned to action with Ferrari at the Spanish track in the first of the winter tests.

The seven-time World Champion proved to be the man to beat as he dominated the timesheets during his two days of testing.

And although Schumacher has stated many times that his test does not mean he will be making a competitive comeback, Jones reckons the thought has to have crossed Schumi's mind.

"After nearly a year out of the saddle, I can image him thinking, 'Maybe I'd like to have another go.' It must be just like coming back from an extended Christmas break," Jones told Autosport.

"He used to take a couple of months off at the end of each season, so another few months won't make a big difference. Two or three years might have done.

"It's a win-win situation: Ferrari gains from his expertise and he enjoys it. And you can never rule out a comeback - he might be thinking, 'I'm really enjoying this!' Money won't be his motivation, it will be to prove a point.

"Niki Lauda was out for several seasons and came back and won the title. Michael could do the same."

Schumacher misses Massa's wedding day

Dec.3 (GMM) A representative for Michael Schumacher has played down speculation that he may have fallen out with his former Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa.



In the presence of many of his Ferrari colleagues, 26-year-old married his fiancee Rafaela Bassi, who is 27, in Sao Paulo last Friday, according to reports from Brazil and Italy.



Among the 800 guests were team bosses Jean Todt and Stefano Domenicali, as well as Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa and Luca Baldisserri -- but not Schumacher, his 2006 teammate.



Massa's countryman Rubens Barrichello also attended, reports said.



Days earlier, the former seven time world champion, Schumacher, won a karting event hosted by Massa in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis.



The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said Schumacher had celebrated Massa's impending marriage with his former teammate and friend in the days prior.



A representative for Schumacher said: "Michael is currently in the United States for a family vacation."

Standardising Formula One machinery
Five-year FIA cost-culling plan revealed
15/10/08

A British newspaper has revealed the FIA's five-year plan to radically slash costs, with the body's president arguing Formula One has become 'unsustainable'.

The centrepiece of the package, to be discussed with the F1 teams' alliance FOTA next week in Geneva, is the standardisation of expensive car parts that add little to the show.

The London publication The Times claims that Bernie Ecclestone, the Chief Executive of F1's commercial rights holder, backs the Max Mosley-devised plan to 'dramatically' cut costs.

Among the measures is the introduction of a controversial standard engine design for 2010, additional energy recovery systems and fuel-efficient engines for 2013, and many 'common parts' for the chassis.


"We are completely open to new ideas," Mosley, albeit insisting that engines must be made available to small teams at a low cost, said in a letter to the team bosses.

An FIA spokesman said he will not comment prior to the meeting.

Vodafone Rs 95 2G Pack Data and Validity decreased

Posted: 09 Aug 2013 09:47 PM PDT

I did a recharge of Rs 95 last month and when I was on roaming checked the data balance to realize that I just was given 600 MB and the validity is just 21 days, I didn't take screenshot of the page that said it's going to give me 1GB data with a months validity period.

Rs 95 for 600MB data is absurd :eyeroll:

I stopped using 3G as I realized that most of the time my phone is on 2G to save battery.
