No Broadband for the Last 19 days, No response from MTNL

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 11:40 AM PDT

I have a broadband connection from MTNL Delhi on which I have been facing problems from time to time as other members using an MTNL connection also have reported. But this time it has broken all records for me. It has been 19 days since I could use my broadband connection on my PC at my home as there has been no phone or broadband connection for the last nineteen days.

 

Seeing the posts on this forum, which I always have found helpful, I had written emails to various officers e.g., helpdesk.delhi@bol.net.in, deintcc@bol.net.in, gmbb@bol.net.in, amth@bol.net.in but to no avail. Everytime I book a complaint for phone or broadband online or over my mobile phone, the complaints mysteriously disappear (for which I doubt the lineman who is a wretched guy) without my problem being solved at all. I also called up many important persons in the MTNL telephone exchange from where my phone and broadband connection is controlled from AM to the Officer in charge of broadband but to no avail.

 

Once after emailing to the Broadband GM I got a "cc" of a reply which forwarded my complaint to the concerned AM at the exchange to take appropriate action. The next day I got a call from the same office enquiring about the location of my phone connection and also whether I was facing the problems which I mentioned above.

 

After that when I checked the Complaint Status on the Fault reporting Website, it showed "CBD BOOKED" pending at CBD. Does anyone on this forum know what this means? Also when I called up the Broadband in-charge at the Exchange he said, "Kaam Chal raha hai. Do ek din mein theek ho jayga".

 

However, a few days later this complaint also disappeared and the showed NO COMPLAINT PENDING to my frustration. So, I again booked a new complaint and also wrote another email to , again without any response.

 

So, someone please tell me what to do in my situation to get my Broadband working? Any suggestion towards this will be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Funny Videos, Images and Jokes

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

Procedure to close a credit card (HDFC)

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 11:27 AM PDT

I would like to close my HDFC credit card & take a Citibank credit card. I know I need to talk to the HDFC CC and/or send a mail to their CC department for the same. However, my question is what are the documents and proofs that I should want from them that my credit card account has been closed and I won't be charged further? (like for example, you get a NOC when you close your car/home loan). Anyone who has prior experience of closing a credit card can share his/her experience.

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!

reliance broadband "Please don't use it"

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 09:29 AM PDT

Its very very disappointing to use RELIANCE broadband service. Guys if you really want to get frustrate then you can go for it.

If not go through what I had suffer with reliance.

 

I have applied for the connection online for reliance, upon which one guy call me after 24 hours said that he is the person who will give me the connection. I said k and he came to my place to get the documents and the money. He told me that he will be able to give the connection in next 24 hours. But when he didn't come back after 2  days also I call him back. The person told me that he will come tomorrow and fix the line. he came next day and fixed only the wires, when I asked him he told me that they don't have modem in stock so he told me to wait for 2 more days. After two days when I call him continuously he didn't even bother to receive the call. Somehow I manage to call their higher authority and got the connection done with heavy frustration.

Finally I got my connection on 15 august 2013. I work for 24 hours perfectly. After that it suddenly stop working. I complained to customer care, They said they have taken down my complain and provided me with the complain number and they also said that my issue will be resolve in 24 hours. Believe me  I was very shocking for me when I call then asked for the status of my complain, they said  its already been sorted out. When I said nothing is done, and still internet is not working, they took my complain and again provided me with the second complain number. After few days when I asked for the termination of the connection they asked to keep patience and your issue will be resolve in next 24 hours.

All the above mention are the initial problem I face with reliance.

 

After that also , the connection get fail quiet frequently, MY suggestion to you all is that "DON'T USE RELIANCE BROADBAND"  if you don't want to a waste your time after that. Previously I had use airtel, I think I m going to continue with that now. Its a bit expensive but you will  not have complain in the connection part.

 

Also I should not for get to mention that to call reliance customer care is one of the biggest headache and time waste. because it take its own luxury time to get connect. I think there is shortage of staff or are not trained properly.

Apple iTunes updates

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 09:07 AM PDT

Apple is poised to unveil a mobile phone that plays music just like its best-selling iPod.

Made by Motorola the handset will have Apple iTunes onboard and will be available via the US Cingular phone service.

The news was broken by analyst Roger Entner who said he had been briefed about the device and the partners producing it.

None of the companies involved were prepared to comment on the revelations.

Handy device

Speculation that the music phone was about to be unveiled began when Apple issued teasing invites for a press conference on 7 September.

Apple famously never talks about unreleased products but it did let slip that the press conference was "music related".

Adding to the speculation was the admission by Motorola that the iTunes phone it was preparing with Apple would be ready for release by the end of September.

But meat was put on the bones of the announcement by Ovum analyst Entner who gave details of the forthcoming phone to newswires and papers.

Mr Entner said the device will give a phone music playing abilities roughly equivalent to Apple's iPod shuffle.

This smaller music playing device has either 512MB or 1GB of storage. The larger model can hold up to 240 songs.

The handset due to be unveiled will reportedly be the first in a series of iTunes equipped phones made by Motorola that will be given the name "Rokr".

What is unclear as yet is whether the phone will allow for music to be downloaded via wireless services or only when the gadget is connected to a computer.

Apple and Motorola are not the first to unveil handsets that can play music. Many handsets already have basic media players on board and store many tracks on high-capacity memory cards.

However, the huge success that Apple's iPod in all its guises has enjoyed could help the company to another success.

The launch of an iTunes-using phone has been promised and delayed many times before now. The phone was originally due to be shown off at the German Cebit technology fair in March.

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 09:00 AM PDT

Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a movie about porn addiction. It's sweet, funny, deeply emotional, and ultimately not really about porn at all. Instead, Gordon-Levitt's movie is about the ways people create distance and engage superficially with the relationships in their lives — whether with lovers, religion or PornHub – without ever really connecting.

"I wanted to tell a story about how people objectify each other and how media often contributes to that, especially when it comes to love and sex," said Gordon-Levitt at SXSW after the premiere of Don Jon, which he wrote, directed and starred in. "We learn a lot of expectations from movies, or TV shows, or commercials, or magazines, or pornography, and those expectations are unrealistic and maybe not so healthy. And if we're busy comparing our own lives and our partners to those expectations, we're doomed."

DSL not stable

Posted: 18 Sep 2013 08:50 AM PDT

The DSL light on my BSNL wifi modem becomes unstable during night time especially after 7:00pm and gets stable for only like 5-10 minutes and then again starts blinking.
I'm a gamer so the frequent disconnections at night don't allow me to play online.
I don't face such problems during day time.
The plan I'm using is BBG ULD 1425 PLUS COMBO
Also as per this plan I should get a speed of 4MBPS but while testing with BSNL speed tester it usually shows a speed of 2.5-2.7MBPS

Any help would be appreciated thanks
