| Frequent Disconnection / ADSL blinking Issue on MTNL Broadband Posted: 20 Oct 2013 08:44 AM PDT Hi, I am a user of 849NU plan of MTNL Triband service since August based out of Navi Mumbai. All of August, i was very happy to have a lovely connection and good speeds, with a pretty good tariff. But now since the past 15 days I am suffering from very intermittent net connection. Although I am connected to the internet, sometimes the webpages take ages to open, and never open, while at other times it opens instantly. Also downloading has the same pattern, sometimes I get very good speeds of upto 200 Kbps, while other times there is no download. Although all download sites show good Triband Speed, but it is the intermittent connection that is the problem. This problem has crept up in the last 15 odd days, and I have tried everything but no change has been noticed. Has anyone else faced a similar problem, and if yes, whats the work around. The people at MTNL classify this as a slow connection problem, but that is exactly not the issue, as I do get good speeds intermittently. Somebody please help me. |

| My Email To BSNL (Got A Response! Need Your Help!) Posted: 20 Oct 2013 05:48 AM PDT Hello everyone,
I've been lurking on this forum for a very long time now and I finally made a throw away account to pass on an important message to the community.
Recently, after having gotten really frustrated with the entire FUP/pseudo-high-speed-broadband thing (and the lack of meaningful alternatives here in Chennai), I looked up all the email IDs of BSNL managers and sent them an email requesting a single thing - offer us a 1Mbps no-FUP plan around the Rs. 1000 mark.
Now, in the email, I said that a lot of people were very frustrated with the status quo and that a lot of people are actually demanding something like this. This evening I received a small reply stating -
Respected Sr.Officers Kindly see the trailing customer mail. Forwarded for your kind attention and to take-up with Corporate office if required, please. The customer mail-id is : <redacted> ---------------------------------------------------------- Now I think it would mean something if everyone here could also mail these folks asking for the 1Mbps thing. If they see enough support they just might do it! I've pasted the text of the mail I sent, below - My name is <redacted> and I am a resident of Chennai who has been using BSNL's broadband services for many years now. I have been using your broadband services since as early as 2004. For as long as I can remember now, my internet's average speed has been somewhere in the region of 512 Kbps (Kilo BITS per second). Yes, BSNL does offer "high speed" plans but these are crippled since BSNL implements a Fair Usage Policy (FUP) with caps set at data amounts as low as 8GB. In today's world there is not much you can do with 8GB at ~1Mbps (1 Mega BIT(s) per second). I am an ardent gamer and I love watching videos on youtube and I skype a lot. With the kind of plans you have, I can do none of these. For example, I regularly connect to servers in Europe and the kind of latency your network provides (~300 ms ping on average), a lot of what I try to do (play games) actually just fails most of the time. Maybe for people like you, games might be for kids but for me it is actually a very serious pursuit. And for people like me, the kind of service BSNL provides is inadequate. Given the lack of private players in the industry with reasonable plans, I am forced to stick with BSNL. I would be really, really happy if BSNL launches a simple broadband plan at Rs.1100 which offers a 1Mbps (1 Mega BIT(s) per second) plan with NO Fair Usage Policy (FUP). What this means is that you don't throttle down the 1Mbps speed down to something absolutely meaningless like 256Kbps (Kilo BITS per second) once you cross some threshold like 10GB. This is a demand a lot of people from the metros have been making for a very long time now. The internet won't wait for India. In today's situation your connection speeds are barely enough to load images. If you don't believe me, you can try this for yourself. Go to imgur (a popular image hosting site) and try to load the images there from some random BSNL connection at an average household. You'll realize what a huge pain it is waiting for images to load because it is a 256Kbps connection. Of late, with rapid updates to email services (read Gmail and Yahoo!) it has become near impossible to login to check emails too. Point in case being the fact that Yahoo mail takes a ridiculous amount of time to log in if you're on a connection that's slower that 1Mbps. The simple truth is that this is not an issue about "Indians don't have much to do on the internet" but that the content (because of quality upscaling) on the internet has grown in volume. So while a 8GB FUP cap might have made sense way back in 2007, it is absolutely meaningless in today's context. If you don't trust what I say, please visit this popular Indian broadband related forum named India Broadband Forum. Look at the kind of opinion people have about BSNL's service. I sincerely hope that someone or the other reading this email pays heed to it and takes PROMPT positive actions regarding what I have said. I wish my dream of a decent internet connection comes true. Yes, India has a lot of people who have never even seen computers but that doesn't mean those who have computer access shouldn't have decent access to the internet. I have no intent of offending or slighting anybody. I have written such a blunt mail in hopes that it will carry across the chagrin I experience on a daily basis. Kind regards, <redacted> ----------------------------------------------------- Here's the list of email ID's I mailed this to - gmbbchn@bsnl.co.in ; ifa_chennai@bsnl.co.in ; pg_chnbbs@bsnl.co.in ; pg_chntr@bsnl.co.in ; pg_chnse@bsnl.co.in ; gmcentral_chennal@bsnl.co.in ;cgm_chennai@bsnl.co.in ; cmdbsnl@bsnl.co.in Please help! I think it's time we tried something. BTW, this is not spam.
I made a throwaway because I don't want to sign up on the forum. But I am a regular visitor here though. : )

| Funny Videos, Images and Jokes Posted: 20 Oct 2013 05:47 AM PDT 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?

Looks very cool. Though I am assuming that the phone here is one of the newer models with super powerful processor. |
| Posted: 20 Oct 2013 04:42 AM PDT Got this yesterday.
About 20 pages from 80 pages i printed were printed like this.
About 5 sets of 15 pages each.
one almost entire set was printed like this of 15 pages.
files were all in pdf.
seems more like pdf software problem to me ? gonna try and reinstall it.
It makes some really awful sound while scanning though and black text kind of looks like light grey after scanning.
Printing is excellent. |

| The general cricket discussion thread Posted: 20 Oct 2013 01:32 AM PDT Why this thread? So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread... Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread... Will start with one post ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Misbah & Taibu seem to competing with each other for the prize of who can bat more defensively.... ---------- After beating NZ in the 3rd ODI with a draing chase... Now Zimbabwe are on verge on possibly upsetting them in the Only Test... 116 needed in 34 Overs (Incl mandatory Overs) with the new ball just taken |

Update: Connection is useless. They are barely able to provide 1.5 - 2 Mbps. Read post #109 onwards. |
| Posted: 19 Oct 2013 06:58 PM PDT I was looking to buy a tablet and saw a Nexus 7 with Wi-Fi and 3G 2013 version at a great price and sorta impulse bought the item. Bad decision. The item was not shipped for 5 days, the scamsters website was blocked by my antivirus and the guy insisted the tab had a sim slot when infact the Cellular version is yet to be launched.
No real damages done financially as the refund has been initiated by the system, apart from losing a week and a half, I guess.
MORAL : Stay away from new sellers, I know some or what the heck most may be legit, but its not worth it. And if something is too good to be true, it probably is. |
