Have moved to a new street recently. BSNL said they don't have wired connection for this street. A neighbor has Airtel dat card but he says speed is low. What are my other options? Can I get a good broadband connection at a budget of Rs 200-500 per month? I see options like wired, data card, 3G SIM etc, but am not sure which would be the most reliable, less costly option for my usage.

 

It would be great if the forum members here can help me with my requirement.

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

 

 

 

Just 4 days left now!

After logging in when I try to do some transaction I am returned to the "Log in" window !
Is it only me or any one else also experiencing this ?
Thanks.

Hi

 

I've a TataSky HD+ box, and I downloaded the new TataSky App from the AppStore.

 

The STB is connected to my WiFi router with the TataSky Wifi Dongle.

I am unable to use the feature of WiFi remote provided by the TataSky App.

 

On trying to connect I get an error '0xfd2002 : Wi-Fi signal not available, Please ensure your TataSky + HD set top box and this device are currently connected to the same Wi-Fi router.'

 

Has anyone in the forum faced the issue? Any solution?

 

The TataSky helpline is clueless about this...

Hai Guys!

 

Is there is any gossip's or chances about adding "Star World Premiere HD in Videocon D2H"

 

 

Please update...........

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.

Sons of Anarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finally a series that could keep me busy for a couple of weeks!

 

A Boston man kidnaps the person he suspects is behind the disappearance of his young daughter and her best friend.

 

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

Well, i have a DNA a212 wifi modem+router from mtnl, and WAN speed is upto mtnl

but the LAN speed is max 54 Mbps (b = BITS) which is Link speed(right?)

 

I was transferring movie file of 700 mb from PC to my canvas HD (External SD - Class 4) via ES File explorer wirelessly and i was getting just 150KBps (0.14MBps) (B = Bytes), atrocious!

So, i googled and found some tweaks in Wireless settings

and changed few settings (Below)

 

after that, transfer speed was increased to 800 KBps (0.78 MBps) (good, right?)

Also, Airdroid became much faster.

 

But this left me wondering, if i have 54Mbps wireless router which theoretically can transfer 6.75 MBps (MegaBytes) and taking all noise, wireless efficiency, other issues, etc, I should get atleast 1/3rd of the ideal speed(6.75 MBps) i.e around 2.25 MBps. as compare to my improved speed of 0.78 MBps

 

Not a Networking savvy, so please share some views, is 800KBps speed is quite well with my DNA-A212 ?

Videocon d2h has added the 1000GB storage capacity version of the HD Recorder, for their Direct to Home (DTH) service. The company says that this translates into 1775 hours of recording.

I know some people who still prefer trackballs over trackpads and mice. Anyone here who uses one? 

I could only locate one model on Flipkart. These seems to be a disappearing breed. Any recommendations? 

I have a 1425 bsnl plan (home combo) I should got 3.5 MBPS (told for 4 MBPS) but it's not what I got now.

 

I have seen only 0.1 MB. this is terrible. I have told them and they have check it from their side.

 

on 30 September I got 512KBPS (which is exactly fine because after limit my plan is moved to 512 KBPS) .

 

 

Now I have terrible then what I got after the limit exceed.

 

Someone please check this issue for me.

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 dont know if this is the right place to post my query. I had booked two tickets through redbus website and cancelled the same on 5 September. They have refunded only the "to" journey amount but not the return journey amount of Rs.2700.It is  now almost a month and I still have not got my refund of Rs2700. I have called up their customer service and everytime they say they have already refunded but bank payment gateway problem.Last week, they said they refunded on Friday and gave some bank transaction no. But bank is not able to find any such transaction. Now it is becoming one month. Other than going to consumer court, what are the other things i could do? I have also posted the same in their facebook site,online consumer forums,called them up several times,etc

Hi guys.. 

I need a small help..

Just I will post my question directly..

What is the way of converting a LAN internet connection to WiFi Hotspot..?

I mean what is the name of the device that takes LAN connection as Input and gives WiFi hotspot as Output..

Dear all, i did mobile number portability from airtel to vodafone 2 weeks back. When i was in airtel network, i had registered under fully blocked category in 1909 but still i was able to get sms from bank regarding credit/debit. After I did mobile number portability, i again registerd under fully blocked as I was under Vodafone and now i am not  getting sms from banks.As per dnd rules, banks sms does not come under any category,so I should receive it and I dont think this has got anything to do with DND. The customer care of Vodafone is not having any idea about it. Kindly help. What to do?
