India Broadband Forum Feed

Just a poll to see the ratio of happy and sad customers. 

Hello everyone !
I've just joined this forum .I'm a BSNL broadband user but really pissed off with their pathetic service .its getting worse day by day .I need to watch a lot of lectures so I need a good broadband service with at least  2 MBPS speed plans ..I reside at Indiranagar A block ,I mean in the main city and it's a posh area but when I contacted airtel ,they said sir there is unavailability of tags ,their own sales person saying that "sir! there 3-4 pending connection in my own hands too but what to do when pairs are not free " .It's ridiculous when people are ready to pay for a new connection and company saying we are out of pair rather increasing the pair for further demands.I got to know that reliance has launched thunder plans with so economical rates and having good speed plans like 2 mbps/4 mbps .so anyone here from Lucknow Indiranagar area who can give me review about reliance thunder plans with exact download speeds and up timings .Thank you! 

I am from Pune. Had two demos in last two days (25 and 26 June 2013). Must admit the sales guys were very cooperative. Scanned my entire apartment, only 2 bars in gallery and a window but still was getting 10 down 5 up. Airtel guys said the range is a big problem, you have to be in 300 to 400 meter periphery from the tower. So we tried the speed tests on terrace too.

Now, this is where it gets interesting. On terrace (of our 8 floor building), the single was full. I was expecting significant speed improvements. 

But to my astonishment they were still stuck on 10 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. No improvements on download speeds, even after single improvement from 2 bars to full 5 bars? Occasionally we hit 12 Mbps for a brief second, but that's it.

We tried downloads from different sites, same story.

System reboots, dongle reboots, same story.

It was a ZTE MF880 with MiMo support. 

I can recall a demo some time early this year, where a Huawei E392 was cranking 33 down and 11 up in inorbit mall. Was very impressed back then.

So what's going on here? Even on full bars, I am not getting any speed improvements past 10Mbps down and 10Mbps up.

Is it a device issue? ZTE MF880 supports only 67 down / 17 up, while Huawei E392 is 100 down / 50 up.

OR Airtel is throttling the bandwidth?

Anyone having a different experience?

Hi i'm chetan from hyderabad, 35 days back i contacted local cable operator for cable connection, as per govt rules the cable

operator suggested me to go with Hathway Set Top Box, It was running perfectly till evening of 19 sep 2013. a white background 

unplug power sign displaying " SYSTEM UPDATING, PLEASE WAIT", i thought i was channels updating from local cable distributor,

but the message showing now 21 sep 2013, i contacted distributor he said that the it will al right for some time, but it wasn't. i tried to contact local hathway customer care for more than 24 hrs but i couldn't connect to them for single time. Finally i'm posting here Can Any One Give Solution for HATHWAY set top box problem

So, I just got a message that Airtel no longer has minutes to other mobiles free on my corporate connection, only A2A instead of A2M/A2O (other mobiles) & also SMSes are charged. Customer care said new plans are coming and you can wait for a while (2-3 days in their words) and choose. I personally am tempted to dump Airtel. But before I do, would like feedback on which other provider is better in Chennai.

No need of 3G. So non-3G providers are also fine. Low-cost and good coverage are what I am looking at. Was paying 149+tax for 300 A2M & around 150-200 SMS you can say (which I use around 50-60%).

Also, I feel others will join the bandwagon.. So thinking if should hold on to Craptel.

P.S - For dumping, I will switch to prepaid Airtel & then move out as that seems as easier process for MNP

I applied for plan change of my MTNL Broadband connection from 2mbps Unlimited @ 1500 to 4mbps Limited at 1749.

Plan Change was done next day itself and Static IP was allocated day before yesterday. But it has been a week i am still getting speed of 1.6 mbps. 

What could be wrong and where to complain ? 

A major update has been released today apparently.

Does anyone from Gurgaon have Reliance broadband plans? I think only the 3G Netconnect is available here. Am I wrong? If not, what kind of speeds do you get?

Presenting India's first war comedy movie War Chhod Na Yaar starring Sharman Joshi, Soha Ali Khan, Jaaved Jaaferi, Sanjay Mishra, Mukul Dev, Manoj Pahwa and others.

Hey guys,

Need some urgent help with regards to MTNL 3G Prepaid card. After using a Tata Photon+ for nearly 2 years, decided to go for a new 3G connection. Chose MTNL because of the 50GB allowance. However, I am having major issue on both the Dongle and MTNL end. Here is the gist of things:

Before I begin, just to clarify, I am based in Thane (Around Cadbury Junction - if anyone is familiar with the area) and dont know whether MTNL has good 3G coverage around here.

MTNL Problems:

Bought the card on Wedneday. Thursday it got activated. Topped up the 99 Rupees coupon that I had received. Then did an e-recharge of the 50 GB for Rupees 1650. After 4 hours on Thursday evening, I switched my spare phone back on again, I was going to use this for a day as a hotspot since the data card had not arrived. However, could not connect to the internet. Called 1503, tried all the APN settings, still no luck. So left it at that. 

Friday, I received my data card and since then, got another head ache.

Huawei E3121:

Installed my data card. Inserted the sim card and once it detected Dolphin, I got a Full Network Display and had 3G written next to it. Clicked on connect, but it failed. 

Went into Network settings. Changed the APN to mtnl.net and left login details blank. Still the same error. 

Then I tried to change the Network type from WCDMA ONLY to GSM Preferred. Applied. Still no luck with the connection. 

Gave up, switched my phones Hotspot on and continued using my Vodafone as I had a lot of work at office. Got home (Thane - Majiwada) and opened Huawei Mobile Partner to have a look and sort it out. However, one big change I noticed as soon as I plugged the data card is that, it just stated the Network name: Dolphin. No 3G or the Network range. 

Furthermore, the Network type options (WCDMA, GSM) are locked and dont open up. Cant choose my network manually as well. 

So uninstalled the software and driver. Rebooted the laptop and tried again. It is still the same. Gave up on it. Got to office today morning and tried again. It is still the same. Software still has the same issues. Luckily, one of my friend visited my office today, he changed the settings of the Modem by putting an Extra Initialization Command: AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "mtnl.net"

He then made a manual connection and connected it. HURRAH, at last I thought, but that went poof quickly when the speed in the Mobile Partner was showing to be 6-10kbps down and 4-5 kbps up. Took almost 5-6 minutes to load google ! 

Took the sim out, put my spare AIRTEL sim in the data card. It didnt even show the Network name ! 

Tried the MTNL sim in my phone, still does not connect to the internet. 

So now I have two problems, A) An MTNL Sim which I not only me, even the CC couldnt figure out why it is not working. 

A Huawei E3121 Data Card, which is not showing Network Type options, not letting me select manual network, nor showing Network details at times and most of all, just does not connect. 

I would really appreciate any help on this. Been quite frustrating and with my Tata Photon switched off and my work HEAVILY depending on net access, quite in rough waters. So really will appreciate any help. 

Regards,

Sid.

Former world champion Fernando Alonso rebuffed McLaren Friday over a shock return to the British team, and said he would stay at Ferrari for at least another three years.

Alonso said he was flattered by McLaren's surprise interest, revealed during the run-up to the Singapore Grand Prix, but confirmed he would see out his contract, which runs to 2016.
