An 18th century set story centered on a band of samurai who set out to avenge the death of their master.

 

Do not know where to start. But, by far this is most horrible experience i am having with reliance broadband thunder plan 549. They claim it is 1mbps plan, but when you open gmail and facebook, it take 5 min to load. And if you are running torrent, then forget about opening gmail and facebook.

 

I took the plan on August 1st week and from very beginning i started experiencing a very slow speed and frequent fluctuation in service. Every now and then net was going down. After several complains, this was improved. But, problem with slow internet experience. Even after calling them several times, they are not resolving the issue. Everytime thay will raise a new ticket and reply , "we will get back in 24 hours"

 

Next thing is there front desk support. The way they will talk to you, as if they are paying for you and you are using the service for free. 2 times they close my ticket without even calling me. I was so frustrated with this pathetic service, so gave a termination request on 28th August. They said, their backend team will call me within 48 hours. And i got a call also, but the guy from other side said "welcome to reliance world and this is a welcome call". After 3 weeks of horrible experience, i got a call saying welcome to reliance world. Do not understand how this company runs and how is coordination between their front end and back end.

 

I am still waiting, when their 48 hour will be over and they will deactivate my account. I will never refer anybody to go with reliance broadband.

One of my best TV series of all time becoming desi!

Colors, Anil Kapoor ink deal to broadcast '24' in India > afaqs! news & features

Anil kapoor, please do some justice with Jack Bauer.

I also read something about cast: Chunky Pandey is in it

As for the cast and crew, Kapoor has promised the channel that there will be no known names on the show. However, word is that Ronit Roy, Atul Kulkarni, Chunky Pandey and Vidyut Jamwar will essay some of the lead roles. And, as we already know, Kapoor will play the main protagonist, anti-terror squad leader Jack Bauer, essayed by his favourite actor Keifer Sutherland in the original version. What's more? Abhinao Deo of Delhi Belly fame will direct the show. One wonders though, who will play the middle-eastern leader Omar Hassan, the role bagged by Kapoor in the American series...

Surface Pro has been an amazing device. It has been my daily machine for a LONG time. Surface Pro 2 is a very significant upgrade on top of that strength, with meaningful battery-life improvements so it lasts nearly a full workday, a dual-stage kickstand that works great on your lap, and even faster performance. With Power Cover – a new cover accessory that provides the same great typing experience as Type Cover along with a built-in extended battery that charges while you're working or while it's connected in your bag – Surface 2 lasts more than more than 10 hours. With the Docking Station for Surface Pro, Surface Pro 2 can be the first device that is a tablet, a laptop, AND a high-powered workstation.

 

 

 

Today I show you how to deliver a baby. Chances are your girlfriend or Dog will give birth today, which is why it's extremely important that you learn the correct way to deliver a baby. Child birth can be an extremely scary time for many people, but if you're well trained & know exactly what to do when it occurs you'll remain calm and ensure the child is delivered safely without any problems.

Please suggest me where can i get the ver2 .

Hello People. New guy here as indicated by post
I would like help on certain issues i am currently facing.
 
Firstly, a bit of history. Subscribed to MTNL 4 years back. From then, i had a few problems. Internet would  get disconnected when i pick up my phone. Also ping was high(~60ms) as compared to others(~5ms) in my building. Does it have to do anything with wiring?
 
Some time later, i discovered a method by which i could reduce my ping. If i keep my phone engaged then my ping would drop to single digits.
 
Recently though, internet access was cut through out our entire society. It was gone for nearly about 4 weeks. It came back and then got cut the next day. I foolishly reset my Modem settings  without backing it up. And after that all sorts of problems started.

• Random Disconnections. Depends on the mood of MTNL
• Bad Ping Times. My previous method no longer worked

I have a Sterlite SAM300AX modem.
SNR margin : 14.5 - 24.5dB
Attenuation  :  45dB
 
Also about this time, my modem is partially broken i think. It makes weird noises when it starts up.

  DSL Firmware Version  	  :  	FwVer:3.9.9.5_TC3085 HwVer:T14.F7_3.0   		  Line State  	  :  	Showtime   		  Modulation  	  :  	G.DMT   		  Annex Mode  	  :  	ANNEX_A   				  		  		Downstream	Upstream	   		  SNR Margin  	  :  	24.5 	12.0	db  		  Line Attenuation  	  :  	40.0 	27.0 	db  		  Data Rate  	  :  	2048 	512 	kbps  

My Phone is in another room directly connected to wall socket without splitter.
My Modem is connected to Splitter which in turn is connected with 1. And 1 is connected to 2. 2 is connected with the main wire. What are those things anyways?
 
Would really apreciate it if some stated a solution for these problems.
Thanks in advance for reading this post

I moved house from Koramangala to Indiranagar and enquired with ACT if they would be able to provide me a connection in the new place. They took their own sweet time and after many phone calls later said they have done the feasibility study and they can in-fact provide me a connection in the new place. I asked them about what about all the days I won't be able to use the connection since they take 15 working days to shift it, they told me repeatedly that it would be credited to my account.

 

The Transfer Process

 

Their person came to collect new address proof and promptly took INR 300 as transfer charges. Again the series of calling them about the connection started. Their floor supervisor Mr. S kept stating that they are committed to giving the connection and they will refund the for the time I was unable to use it.

 

The Excuses start as always

 

Eventually they started giving excuses on why they can't provide the conncetion. Apparently there is someone in the new building who has a box but refuses to share the connection. So now ACT says that they can't provide the connection unless I go talk to the other customer and convince them. This is the most absurd thing I had ever heard. I have a business relationship with ACT but they want me to do their work. Not only that, I tried to explain to them that I am on their most expensive package, why not shift the box from the other customer to my place and give the connection to them.

 

Don't want my business

 

For some reason their customer support isn't interested in my business at all. I have never crossed the FUP limit so I fail to understand why it would be so. The only reasonable explaination is that they don't care at all.

 

The icing on the cake is that they have agreed to refund the transfer charges of INR 300 but not for the 15 days of unused internet. Right now, I am trying to get in touch with Mr. S and anyone who would understand that this is not the way to treat a customer but so far no luck.

 

Out of ideas on how to deal with them

 

If you all have any ideas on how to proceed to either get a connection(25 Mbps is needed for the kind of work I do) or at least if I can get my money back for the time I haven't utilised at all.

I wanted to start a new experience thread simply to discuss MTNL VDSL.

Some things to consider before/after taking a new VDSL connection

 

SNR margins (SNRM)
Below 9 dB : Poor experience with lots of HEC and CRC errors. Line will disconnect frequently.
9   - 11  dB : Ok but not ideal. Disconnections will be there if some unexpected variance is introduced by rains, humidity in the wire.
12 - 16  dB : Ideal and realistic value. Expect almost no disconnections as the line has more wiggle room for tolerating variances.
17 dB and up : God Mode. Lucky few get this on VDSL synced at 30 mbps and up. So far I have seen various stats and no one has reported this SNRM (That is because VDSL sync rates are always higher)

 

Higher you sync rate, lower the SNRM will be. Lower the SNRM, lower the connection reliability. Lower reliability means frequent disconnections. Hence ISP's have a setting in DSLAM to artificially increase SNRM value for a particular phone line. Hence you sync at lower rate and line automagically becomes stable.

 

Attenuation may not be that important after all. It reduces sync speeds over a distance but is not an indicator of connection reliability. (You can roughly calculate your line length from it. Do it here)

Apply for VDSL connection only if you are within half km. Otherwise you will get ADSL like sync rates.

I will update this entry with some of our findings. Since VDSL is somewhat new to India, this thread can help some early adopters.

 

Currently the speeds are decent for fast servers. But single streams are slow due to a bottleneck somewhere.
