Internet disconnects frequently

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 12:30 PM PDT

Hi,

 

My internet connection disconnects frequently. Adsl light on modem goes off & on after certain amount of time. I have Dlink GLB 502T modem which has inbuilt splitter.

One thing to mention here is if I put off the reciever of my landline telephone intenet connection lasts longer.

Besides , there are several joints to our telephone cable.

What could be the possible reason behind frequent disconnections.

 

Thanks

Atlanta by Donald Glover

Glover did reportedly sign the FX deal because of "the network's willingness to accommodate his music touring schedule," but the series itself is also "set against the backdrop of the Atlanta music scene" where Glover grew up, so it sounds like Glover simply found a better avenue to explore all of those interests in one convenient place.

Google Android Device Manager

Have you ever lost your phone in between the couch cushions or forgot it in a restaurant? Or maybe searching for your phone before you rush out the door is part of your morning routine? Later this month, the new Android Device Manager can help you out. It's one of a few simple features you can use to keep your device—and the data you store inside—safe and secure.

 

Locate and ring your misplaced device
If you ended up dropping your phone between those couch cushions, Android Device Manager lets you quickly ring your phone at maximum volume so you can find it, even it's been silenced. And in the event that your phone or tablet is out of earshot (say, at that restaurant you left it at last night), you can locate it on a map in real time.

 

Protecting your personal information and data
While losing your phone can be stressful, Android Device Manager can help you keep your data from ending up in the wrong hands. If your phone can't be recovered, or has been stolen, you can quickly and securely erase all of the data on your device.

 

Availability and getting started
This service will be available later this month on devices running Android 2.2 or above; to use it, you also will need to be signed into your Google Account. There will also be an Android app to allow you to easily find and manage your devices. Stay tuned!

 

Woo!  This was long due!

Airtel's unkept promise

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 10:46 AM PDT

Airtel was giving free wifi modem few days back. Actually the registration page is still open. I applied on 24th July and was later contacted  by the sales guy that I will get the free modem only with a plan of 4mbps or more. So I had to upgrade my initialy intended plan of 2mbps to 4mbps.

 

The Airtel technicians showed up at my door on 2nd Aug and told me that the they can't give me the free modem/wifi-router and I have to buy it if I want one, as the offer was available only till 31st of July. This is straight forward fraud by Airtel. First they promise something and then they never carry out their end of the bargain. This is clear cut fraud played on poor consumers.

Just saw this article.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has assets worth around Rs 10.73 crore, double that of last year, but a number of his cabinet ministers are much richer than him.

Among the richer cabinet ministers are Praful Patel with assets of approximately Rs 52 crore, Sharad Pawar with property worth around Rs 22 crore and MK Alagiri with Rs 9.50 crore, according to updated list of assets of the ministers posted on the PMO website.

Defence Minister AK Antony has assets worth Rs 55 lakh, the lowest in the list of the cabinet Ministers.


Excuse:

Sources in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said though the assets with Singh have remained the same, the valuation has gone up as the assessment has been done by a government-approved valuator.


While everything is depreciating for the common man, things are looking good for our Prime Minister.

In any case...

PM Manmohan Singh's assets around Rs 10.73 cr, cabinet colleagues richer - Indian Express

Tata Sky DTH now replacing MPEG2 STBs with MPEG4 STBs for free!

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,

Reliance Broadband down in Mumbai - western suburbs

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 09:14 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.

Buying and Selling products through OLX

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 09:11 AM PDT

I am giving it a second try. I listed my 2012 Google Nexus 7 3G 2 days ago. Just got one query. But as expected, it was quite absurd. He wants me to drop the price 40%. Claims to have Google as his client. Says Google is offering him the 2013 edition of the 3G variant for Rs. 18000 (US price is going to be above Rs. 22000). It's fun. I told him to get it because it is an excellent deal. He said he is planning on getting that but wanted a backup device for testing. I am assuming he is an Android developer and if he is right, Google seems to be offering the new model at pretty amazing prices to developers here in India even before it is launched in the US market. 

 

Listed two more products for variety. I know people here have had much success with OLX. Share your stories!

In her complaint, plaintiff (Koehler) said: "Specifically, Infosys has discriminated against individuals who are not of South Asian (including but not necessarily limited to India, Nepal, Bangladesh) descent."

When contacted, an Infosys spokesperson said Infosys is an equal opportunity employer.

"We categorically deny Koehler's claims. We look forward to addressing this matter in court, not in public venues where facts can become mixed with rumour, opinion and speculation.

Weird BSNL Broadband Connection Problem :(

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 08:07 AM PDT

Hi,

So, I am getting a weird problem with my BSNL Broadband. My password has been reset to "password" but its not working and I am getting error 691 (id/pass error). But I am putting all right info as I am not a new user but 5 yr old BSNL user. 

 

So, it all started when there was some problem in my line and SNR value went down to 6. And then both phone and broadband were dead. DSL Link was not stable at that time. So, I complained and got my line rectified but still DSL link was not stabling. Then my local exchange change some jumper or etc. Then the link got stable. 

But now this error came ERROR 691 and that too when I never changed password and it was saved in modem from before.

So, I thought maybe some generic error,  I call customer care to reset my password. But even after then it wont work.

I tried using all passwords i.e. my old one and the new reset password but its not working at all. All I get is Error 691. :(

 

So, anyone please help me how to solve it? What could be the possible reason behind this? Coz the exchange people told me that they can see that password was reset succesfully but still not working.

My exchange people have no idea why its happening. They don't even know whats SNR Margin value. LOL :P

 

Currently my SNR is 7 but the link is stable. Only error is that dialing problem - ERROR 691.

Machete Kills

Machete Kills - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 

Machete Kills is an upcoming action exploitation film, which is currently to be directed by Robert Rodriguez. It is a sequel to both the 2010 film, Machete, the fake trailer in Grindhouse and a spin-off of Spy Kids. The script has been written by Rodriguez and the film will star Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan and Michelle Rodriguez all reprising their roles from the first film and newcomers to the series, Lady Gaga, Vanessa Hudgens, Mel Gibson, Demián Bichir, Alexa Vega, Zoe Saldana, Amber Heard and Charlie Sheen. The film will follow the titular ex-federale (Trejo) as he is recruited by the US government to stop an arms dealer (Gibson) from launching a deadly missile. Rodriguez has stated that he may have to hire another director if filming clashes with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
