India Broadband Forum Feed

hi guys, i am facing a very strange problem with my net. my net is pretty stable and download speed is good enough. but browsing totally sucks. the sites get stuck. on some forums the list of topic loads without a problem but if i open a thread it only loads the top half of the page and the actual threads never load. if i visit snapdeal the product pages open fine except the portion where it shows the price of the product. some youtube videos play totally fine and some almost never load, i can open espncricinfo page but if i open the score/commentary page the main section never opens.. i tried clearing cookies and cache but didnt help. and the problem can not be on my pc since i am facing the same issue on my laptop. 

the dslreport speed test gives the following result

download speed : 664 Kb/s , Upload speed : 58 Kb/s, Latency : 148ms

ok guys it looks like the setting of my new wifi router+modem could be the problem. ill post some screenshots asap

For the move back to India I'm looking for unlimited broadband plans. But all of them seem to have some "cap" where the speeds are greatly reduced after a certain limit. I can't tolerate that with my heavy gaming and downloading. Does anyone know of service providers in Chennai who offer unlimited broadband?

 

Reliance and Airtel both seem to have these "caps". I don't mind paying whatever amount is necessary to have true unlimited broadband...

I went to the local reliance world and they told me to go to another one in a congested location.

Is there any other way to apply for a postpaid number disconnection? Something that can be done online or on phone?

And god knows what other regions! 

 

 

 

Is this allowed?? If yes, then what are we paying a premium for ??

MTNL seems to have started new 8Mbps plans recently, dint see any thread discussing about it here.

 

Here is the link http://mtnlmumbai.in/index.php/8mbps-plan

 

 

 

 

 

Anybody tried booking these plans.

Karbonn Titanium S5 Blue

 

 

Looks like it is available only on the white variant. 

Dear sushubh,

It is with great humility and submission that i would like to bring to your notice that the no. of smilies per post which had been previously increased as a result of my numerous requests, have been reduced to 4. So i would once again request u to kindly increase the same to say around 7 or more.

thanking you,
Mystery_inc18

I Just resetted my modem at 08:30pm on 28/04/2012 and see the result



If U still doubt, I can post screenshot of my data downloaded from MTNL's site.

----------

I am using this plan since Dec 2011. You can see that I have downloaded/Uploaded almost 340GB

Before I was thinking that this is temporary.

Anybody know whether this is OK ?

 

 

What to Expect (And What We Want) From Windows Blue
 

 

More tile sizes: If Windows Phone can support three tile sizes (small, medium and large), then Windows 8 should absolutely support them, too. The tiles are much larger on Windows 8, so smaller sizes would be easy to tap with a fat finger. It will also make for a more personalized Start Screen, which the Windows 8 Modern UI is all about.

Updated Mail: The Windows 8 Mail app needs some extra power. Simplicity is great, but some basic additions would help it be a more useful tool. Microsoft should add support for POP3 accounts and incorporate features available in Outlook.com like drag and drop. A report from ZDNet suggests that this might come prior to the Windows Blue update.

Ability to use multiple browsers in Modern UI: This is a small request, but it addresses what can become a major annoyance in Windows 8 if you ever use more than one browser. Right now, even if a browser is available as a Windows 8 app, it will only work in the Modern UI environment if it is set as your default browser. If it's not your default browser, then it will open in the desktop. That goes for the built-in IE10 browser and other offerings like Google Chrome.

Boot to desktop: This is one of the most common Windows 8 demands, especially for business users. It should definitely be an option for Windows 8 Pro users, who do most of their work in the desktop environment. It's thoughtful and will make a large number of users happy without much work. But it should absolutely not be an option for Windows RT, where the opposite should be true.

Make it possible to manage everything in Modern UI: Alternatively, if you want to stay in the Modern UI 100 percent of the time, Microsoft should let you stay there 100 percent of the time. Especially since the Modern UI is the future of Windows. Microsoft should have the Task Manager, Windows Explorer and Control Panel available as Modern UI apps. You should be able to change your screen resolution and manage your files without being forced to the desktop.

the discounted price is a limited time offer. so if you want to get it, get it now. 80 bucks is a pretty decent price.

Is it possible for Airtel or someone to change DNS servers automatically on my router setup page.

 

Every two weeks or so my ipv4 DNS servers automatically change from Google to some random IP which doesnt respond and takes my internet connection down. Is this a sign that my router is hacked or is Airtel responsible for the IP change

 

 

Pepsi has partnered with FreeCharge.in for the offer.

By a bottle of Pepsi (min. 1L) and a Rs. 20 coupon.

Didn't know about it until I ordered Pepsi today. Came in as a pleasant surprise.

Please Please dont go for Airtel 4G dongle..............

Activation is a biggest problem in Airtel 4G, it near to 20 days after i bought Airtel 4G dongle including Sim. But the sim is not yet activated. If i call the customer care (18001030405) they said my document details are not updated in Airtel site, so i have to contact the executive who provided the dongle, if i cal that guys (Lokesh -  8792392296  and his manager VidyaSagar -  9731552441 ) they never responded. i was calling more than 50 times for both the numbers daily but no response (some time i received "Call waiting").

Even i raised the complaint in Airtel site, but nothing happened.

I'm still waiting.......

some customer care guys telling to go for another Airtel 4G sim by paying Rs.200 and wait for 72 hrs to activate. Not sure still how many days i have to wait.....

i'm loosing my hope on Airtel 4G dongle will activate.

Last week a guy came and gave a pamphlet stating that they have started a new broadband service called NetExpress. I spoke with the marketing guys and subscribed for 1 Mbps. So far the service is good and the TAT for installation is 1 day, below is the tariff for the service provider

Speed 1 Mbps 2 Mbps 4 Mbps 8 Mbps
Data Usage Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited
1 Month Subcription Charge Rs. 499 /- Rs. 799 /- Rs. 1299 /- Rs. 1699 /-

Cons
1.No Auto dialer(each time we need to Provide User ID and Password in case of Disconnection)
2. Mid month plan change is not Possible

Pros
1.No Fair Usage Policy
2.Pricing is somewhat good
3.Once connected it never disconnects
4.Wireless can be configured

So far the experience is good with the provider

Hello,

 

I'm currently using the MTNL 450 plan. This month onwards, they've downgraded the speeds for the same. There are many disconnections too, and I'm looking to switch to some other ISP.

 

Which ISPs are reliable and provide a good speed, with no FUP, in the 500-800/month range?

 

I'm considering the Hathway Speedway 1. Any other good choices out there?

 

If they can maintain the speed 24hours it would be great

 

STV used: Rs55 Unlimited

 

On website its written 1day unlimited but those who have used it  might know already that its 2days unlimited
