Hello

I am using Airtel 3G service and it sucks...so can someone please suggest me a good one in Delhi-NCR?

Thanks

Recently I had worst service experience with tata docomo. I am using SIM of tata docomo with internet connectivity. In last week, to my surprise, two times  I felt that my balance was reducing at a much higher rate. Once it was reduced to zero and another time just after my recharge some rupees were deducted. When I inquired about this with service center they were not able to give any satisfactory answer. Moreover they blame me that I might have downloaded something....so pathetic...I have decided that I will switch to some other service provider.

Hello Guys, Post your Peering speed screenshots in the replies.

Starting from mine:

On Phones, Lock screen widgets start in a 'minimized' state when the screen turns on. To view the the full widget, 'maximize' it by swiping down. This is how Lock screen widgets work on Android 4.2. We are looking into ways of altering this behaviour without negatively affecting the user experience.

On Tablets, Lock screen widgets show in the 'maximized' state by default.

Chronus will make its way into the nightlies starting today. It is still a bit of a work in progress with minor bugs to fix and more features to add.

Mobile Recharge & Bill Payment

Just now got a call from Airtel announcing my area (HSR 5th sector Bangalore) is now enabled to get 8mbps and I accepted the 80GB plan offer for Rs 1599+tax / month.  Post FUP limit the speed is 512kbps

And with free calls: Local On net 150000 sec free, Local Offnet 30000 sec fr  (whatever that means)

I have always found my Windows Experience Index to be low although I have decent hardware. Just want to check how is it for others.

Starting from this month, all telecommunications and Internet communications in India will be analysed by the government and its agencies. This means that everything we say or text over the phone, write, post or browse over the Internet will be centrally monitored by Indian authorities. This totalitarian type of surveillance will be incorporated in none other than the Central Monitoring System (CMS).

The Central Monitoring System (CMS) may be another step in the wrong direction, especially with the lack of privacy laws to protect Indian citizens against potential abuse. Yet, all telecommunications and internet communications are to be monitored by Indian authorities through the CMS, despite the fact that it remains unclear how our data will be used.

It will be connected with the Telephone Call Interception System (TCIS) which will help monitor voice calls, SMS and MMS, fax communications on landlines, CDMA, video calls, GSM and 3G networks. Agencies which will have access to the CMS include the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the Narcotics Control Bureau, and the Enforcement Directorate (ED). Last October, the NIA approached the Department of Telecom requesting for connection with the CMS to help it intercept phone calls and monitor social networking sites without the cooperation of telcos. NIA is currently monitoring eight out of 10,000 telephone lines and if connected with the CMS, NIA will also get access to e-mails and other social media platforms. Essentially, CMS will be converging all the interception lines at one location for Indian law enforcement agencies to access them. CMS will be capable of intercepting our calls and analyzing our data on social networking sites, and also tracking encrypted signals. Thus our attempts to protect our data from ubiquitous surveillance would be futile.

Hey,

I've been a subscriber since Oct of last year (187792) and am currently on the ACT BB DOUBLE PREMIUM plan which is 10MBps till 75GB. I am considering switching to the new ACT BB SOHO Value plan which is 50MBps till 250GB for Rs. 3299 p/m. I currently have two concerns:

1. Why is the post-FUP speed 2MBps when we are paying more than Hyderabad who has a post-FUP speed of 6MBps?

2. Will I be able to switch back to my current plan if I decide the 50MBps plan is not worth it? I absolutely detest the current roster of plans so I do not want to choose between my current plan and a 25MBps plan.

Thanks guys,

I reapplied for Connect  Broadband as backup connection for some reasons. I have DSL 399 plan on this, i don't know why but they downgraded me to 128kbps from 512kbps after 1GB of use (WTF ?). I am just wondering do TRAI allow this,post FUP speed of 128kbps instead of 256kbps? Should i contact Connect customer service about this ? This is really ridiculous ! 

We are replacing close to 5-6 million MPEG-2 SD STBs at no cost to consumers over the next year. All of this is coming in from internal accruals.

But you need to wait for one more year to see many new channels

We have been adding channels in a phased manner; the process will now be accelerated with the MPEG-4 STB. By June-July next year we should be able to revise our channel offerings to consumers,

HI,

I'm currently using BSNL BB with BSNL modem, since couple of months connection is getting worse day by day.

I'm planning to move to ACT BB in couple of months, prior to that I would like to change the modem which works both on BSNL and ACT BB.

Let me know whether "TP-LINK TD-W8968 300 Mbps Wireless N USB ADSL2+ Modem Router" works on both? or suggest me any other.

Thank you.

The phone seems to be called "The Other Half" -- or at least that's the working title for now -- and judging from Jolla's Facebook page it consists of a colorful plastic case, available in various shades including orange or green, which hooks onto the main chassis containing a 4.5-inch display (of unknown resolution), dual-core processor, microSD expansion with 16GB onboard, a "4G" modem, user replaceable battery and an 8MP rear camera. The chassis recognizes which case is attached and adapts the visual theme of the OS to match, creating "your other half, exactly as you want it to be."

I had two BSNL broadband connections, one of which dated back to 2004-5. Since last two years one of my connection was giving problem during rainy season, during rains it used to frequently disconnect and my complaint to them met deaf ears. Once a pro BSNL customer, I finally decided to get rid of them and shift to airtel, I applied for surrender of both my connections and two new connections from airtel. Got the airtel connection the very next day, where BSNL took 10 days and various visits to get one of my connection disconnected, while they refuse to disconnect another one on the pre-text that they need the modem they had provided me to be returned. The modem in question was given to me in 2010 upon opting for 1yr committed period ( I had disconnected my line for a year in 2009, so it was kind of new connection in 2010), their service record shows "FREE" modem, and they saying that I need to return them the "FREE" modem. Hilarious, I know, I went and spoke to the DE who is not willing to listen, spoke to the CO, who says she cant do anything and I need to speak to the DE, at the end frustrated I was, I requested the CO to charge me for the modem in the next bill but at least disconnect the broadband. She says she will try to speak to the DE and get it charged in the next bill and let me know. They don't even understand the meaning of "FREE". 

Finally, good riddance ! (provided they disconnect by charging me for the modem Rs 1000/-)
