India Broadband Forum Feed

I am Staying in Karapakkam, chennai 600097 (Kaliyamman koil 7th street).

I am currently using airtel 3G sim and  paying 950 for 6GB plan. Speedwise sometimes not good due to network coverage fluctuations.

I am looking for Broadband connections in my area (Karapakkam), both wired or wireless having good data plans at decent rates.

Like 2 or 4 Mbps plans and FUL around 30GB, and have good coverage.

Please suggest good ISP at this area and if possible provide contact numbers.

If yes then what brand?

Hey there everyone,

Hello again after 6 months!

Just happened to be on facebook and noticed that Hayai Broadband has finally uploaded a video on youtube showing a speedtest from a customer's location.

Since the forum is still locked, I figured I'd post here.

Here is the link:

I am confused between these two

http://www.snapdeal.com/product/sony-micro-vault-u-30/668721/?pos=3;0;20

Also is buying from snapdeal and saving ~200 a good idea?

PM Manmohan Singh today said he will be "very happy" to work under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and that he will be an "ideal choice" for the Prime Ministership post after the next Lok Sabha polls.

I wanted to opt for either fivenet or 1&1. Both are unavailable in my area. Now, local cablewala provides Honesty. And, he quoted unlimited 2Mbps plan for 1599 rs/ month, and 15000 rs/ annum.  I liked the plan of 4Mbps @Rs. 1100, for 50GB, it is a prepaid plan inclusive of taxes.I dont know the tariffs of Honesty, it is not given on their website as well. if you could tell what the tariffs are or how to contact honesty, if I want to try to get connection directly from them, if they do so?

A very serious thought came into my mind last night. I thought I might share it with you guys. In India, if you are less than 18 years old, then you can-

1) rape women

2) kill people

3) do burglary

4) do many crimes

      And, get away with max 3 years sentence. This is very serious issue. The so called juvenile in delhi gangrape case, despite proven guilty and was told to be the most vicious in that rape got away with just 3 years sentence. He was 17 years and 6 months old while he commited that crime. 17 & half years old committing such heinous crime, should be given death penalty. The law is so outdated and static. Now, in mumbai gangrape case, one accused said he was minor giving his leaving certificate as a proof. I don't know if they really do bone check for determining the age. I really don't trust the machinery in India. But, he could also get away swiftly.

      So, point I'm trying to make here is, If  you are less than 18 years old in India, you can do whatever, and get away very easily. What are your thoughts....

Yesterday I updated my  nexus 7 wifi to 4.3 and did a full tablet reset. But now the battery drains much faster and It took just 2 hours to go from 100% to 10% after heavy usage. 

Even when not used, It drains around 5% in half an hour. Earlier I used to get much better backup but now It got worse. Seems like display is using around 77% battery even when the brightness is set to least possible setting and and with daydream turned off. 

Hey guys ! This is the first time I am posting in here and in vain.I had been using Airtel broadband 3-4 months back and recently I had opted for Reliance broadband with the thunder 699 plan. Though I am pretty much satisfied with the speed, but usual disconnection happen saying " Local Area Connection doesn't have a valid IP Configuration ". This doesn't bother me much, my main problem is that i cannot acces my router settings i followed the procedure 

Start > CMD > ipconfig > Default gateway IP , used the IP to try to access router setting in Google Chrome, Mozilla and Internet Explorer but none can connect me to it, my default gateway starts like 123.236.x.x . Note sure if it should start with 123 usually its 192 isnt it ?

Even when i used the modem provided by Reliance "ZTE ZXDSL 831 Series " i couldn't access the router settings , I did a Hard reset on my beetel modem too. The beetel router got configured when i connected modem to the router using 2 lan cables i guess ?, I am able to ping my default gateway through cmd and i use direct ethernet cable into my laptop which is a windows 7 64-bit.

Well i should be able to access my router settings right or is it blocked by reliance ?

I want to buy a printer for home. My usage is mostly photocopying and little printing. I currently use a HP printer that has seen better days.
My needs are:

-Printer, Scanner, Copier

-Only A4 printing, colour and B/W both. No photo printing.
 

Optional(depends on the price):
-Wireless printing from phone and laptop.
-Touchscreen

I'm open to buying HP and Canon. After sales must be good(I'm happy with the HP one). 

I saw these:http://www8.hp.com/in/en/products/printers/index.html?facet=Home-and-home-office#!view=column&page=1&facet=Home-and-home-office%7C%7CWireless
 

What do you suggest? And what about canon?

Friend ordered a laptop from flipkart. Delivery was fast ..got it in one day. But there seems to be some problem with the laptop. The laptop gets stuck in "Windows is loading" screen. Formatted the whole drive and installed new OS but still the laptop is stuck on "windows is loading screen". 

Called flipkart and they directed me to their technical team. Did all the steps they told and they said that laptop is faulty and we'll arrange a pickup.

Flipkart guy came today and took the laptop. When asked about what will happen..they said that we most probably get a replacement ..but It might take one week. :| 

Had urgent work with laptop but now we're screwed. 

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

Hi Guys, first of all I am new to this forum. I have been following it for reviews and all for quite a long time. Now I am in trouble so need your help. I bought Asus RT N13U from Flipkart few days back. But it is unable to detect my Beam Fiber, the same fiber works fine when I connect it to my laptop. I contacted Asus guys, they asked me to upadate firmware, setup PPPoE connection, Automatic IP and in the end we manually entered all the details in Static IP. The error message that comes in is "Your Ethernet Cable is not connected". I got the router replaced and the new one is also having same problem. Please help me setup WiFi connection with this router. Thanks a lot. Here is the link to the router I bought: http://www.flipkart.com/asus-rt-n13u-b1-wireless-n-all-in-one-printer-server-router/p/itmd3849zu3sgwxq?pid=RTRD38494HWZVMAK

Hi,

I am using Airtel broadband+fixedline connection. I wish to setup wifi at my home (range-30-40 ft). I could just figure out that I have a Beetel 110BX1 ADLS2 modem+router. I have no idea what this means! Can somehow please suggest do I need to buy only a router or a modem+router. Whatever be the case, please suggest the best combination for Airtel. Budget is not a constraint.

Please help!

PS- I am a complete novice when it comes to all things technical here. Some of the things I have written might seem stupid.Kindly ignore them. I am waiting for your suggestions :-)

Sathiya gaya hai.

The traditional Boxing Day Test returns to South African shores for the 2013-14 season with India scheduled to play the first of three Tests in the home summer. CSA cancelled the fixture last season and opted to play three T20s against New Zealand over the festive period instead in the hope of attracting bigger in-stadium audiences. Although the matches were sell-outs, there was a public outcry about the lack of a Test match and with India visiting this season, the administrators have reinstalled the fixture and handed it back to its usual home, Kingsmead in Durban.

 

Yes Johannesburg this time rather than Centurion.

Hi Folks,
 
I have an airtel 2Mbps connection in Noida. For the past 2-3 days, I am getting lot of connection drops. The DSL and Internet LEDs go off on my router and then reconnect. This is happening every 5 minutes.
 
I had similar problem last month and that time an Airtel Engineer came and replaced the RJ-11 cable going from Splitter to the Modem. He said the old cable had carbon deposits on the contacts, so it was causing frequent disconnections. But the reonnection issues had stopped even before the engineer came that time.
 
Now that the isse has come back again, I think its a problem with the backend and not anything to do with my wiring or Modem.
 
Here is a view of my connection status. I think the SNR numbers are a bit off. Can anyone knowledgable tell me if anything is wrong with this status?
 
 
 
Thanks,
StillWaters

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/-)
