Star Plus is doing a remake of Mahabharat. FML.

Hello all,

 

I recently purchased Netgear JNR1010 router from shopclues.com. It worked perfectly with my GTPL broadband connection. Just follow the steps mentioned in installation guide. It is very easy.

 

Just to make sure, You must register MAC address of your router with GTPL, otherwise internet will not work. When you will open admin section of router(http://routerlogin.net), There will be two MAC address shown: one is router MAC address and one is internet MAC address. You have to provide internet MAC address to GTPL.

 

To register MAC address with GTPL, you have to send email to ccare@gtpl.net. Additionally, you should call customer care(1800-233-0233) and tell them about new MAC address for quick registration.

 

Once registered, you can try to enter your GTPL username/password in internet setup screen. It's easy, right?

 

Let me know, if you have any problem.

Hey guys,

I am facing a strange problem with GTPL. Its connectivity needs account and password to connect, PPPOE based same like BSNL. GTPL disabled mac binding on my request. So, I can connect any device to its connectivity. I have to enter username and password in created connection under network connection. I have checked on three computers to check mac restriction. It works well with computer.
snap after connecting internet with computer.



But when I try to connect through router after configing router under PPPOE mode. I am not able to access internet and when I see in the log of router, it gives me PPPOE failed error message.
config menu under dlink wbr-1310



router log message under dlink wbr-1310




Has anybody an idea on it???
Tested on Router WBR-1310 and Ooma hub but does not work.
Thanxx for reading.

Flipkart Deal of the Day: Philips QT4005/15 Trimmer for Rs. 875

 

Any idea if any good? I have still not purchased an electric shaver. A trimmer would be good enough as I do not have a formal job. 

 

 

Reviews are positive. People do not like that it does not work while charging. I can live with that.

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

Hi all,

 

Rite now iam on Airtel 1MBPS in day 2MBPS in night unlimited(NO FUP as well) legacy plan.

This plan is costing me around 1900rs per month so i want to change my ISP.

I dont download constantly (only when there is a new game or a tv show season is out) so i dont consume that much.

Hence please suggest me a ISP who provides good speed and reasonable FUP at reasonable price.

 

Thanks

Hello Friends,
I just joined the Forum today,i searched the Forum for the whole day today & i am very musch impressed by the experienced members who helped & saved the other members in time of urgent help.Now i need some information,plans & how i can proceed in my matter,as i am in huge problem now.Below is my problem-

I have Landline Bsnl connection in my house for over 15 years or so in name of my Father.I applied for taking broadband plan nearly 5-6 years before.(I could not remember the plan though). On First month i have received amount of rs 2500 which i paid.Then next month i received a bill of  nearly about  rs.6000 which i not paid & after a month Bsnl again sended me a bill of rs 6000 total amounting rs 12000 or so.I Didn't paid them a single penny as they have already disconnected my landline & after that my net connection also.But still they keep on sending me monthly bill with rental charge & interest for 6-7 months .which they stopped before near 20-21 months .
They Didn't contacted us or done nothing.

Now suddenly i got a letter from them stating that I have to pay RS.41000 outstanding amount to them within 15 days or they will take legal action/ Many exciting schems r available to settle & reconnection. (I am lucky that my Dad didn't received the letter as he is a Heart patient & can easily have a stroke by seeing this huge amount)

Now my question to you all is that Whom should i contact now?? I am willing to pay the money but i will pay what i have used & settle the oustanding amount issue & can pay a max amount of rs5000-10000 which is also very hard for me to give.As my Dad is retired now & i am still searching for job.

What u all think about my matter>?Pls suggest me what should i do?&  how should i proceed??


Thank you in advance to all
Broadbandforum team.

So, I am upgrading the core components of my existing PC (CPU, Motherboard and RAM to be more specific).  I had bought Windows 8 license during the Rs.699 offer, which is an upgrade license I suppose.  It got activated without issues when I had once reformatted my current PC and installed it afresh.  Now coming to the point, after upgrading these components, the PC would act as new right?  Will I face any issues while activation?  Has anybody done it?

 

I would be trying a fresh install using the Windows 8.1 ISO.  Would be following the steps done by Sushubh which he had mentioned in another thread, was successful.

 

Any more info would be appreciated.

i am using bsnl combo uld 1425 plan . The download speed is 4 Mbps till 30GB, 512 Kbps after 30GB ..

Hi,

 

I'm moving to Nirvana Country in Gurgaon. Have been using You Broadband for 2 years in Sushant lok without much to complain about. Unfortunately they don't cover Nirvana. Any idea what would be a good ISP in the area?

 

Thanks.

To whom it may concern,

 

I've been using ACT for a long time, it started off well, kept me happy for a few months and then ACT got shameless and they just don't care about anything anymore. You are doing an atrocious job.

So I'm putting it out for people to warn that you SHOULD stay away from ACT, trust me, they just don't care whatever you do. You don't pay, they don't care, you shout on the phone, they don't care, you are nice to them, they don't care. So yea, looks like they made of customers and are stealing their money anyway thus the shamelessness.

 

 

Please think upteen times before you call them and say you want a connection.

 

We have 3 connections alone running in my house, these are the phone numbers registered

1. 974036895x
2. 953804999x
3. 990091029x

I've been having serious problems with the internet, we all use it often and there are disconnections every other alternate day, No kidding. Nobody, I repeat, NOBODY attends to us. What is your problem really in this area? Why don't the technicians attend ASAP? They take days to come and fix a problem when you call, and then the next day, it disconnects and then nobody hears you out.

 

I've been thinking, you should remove the "GOOD" testimonials off your website and replace them with what we write here.

I still have Airtel running in my house, I'm glad this has been my backup, now if you guys don't attend/call me the moment you read this mail, I'm going to have this connection disconnected since it's been really useless for me. I can't keep paying for services that aren't attended.
I'm not going to pay the month's bill because, I see that that's the only way I get get your attention and have you called.

 

Shame on you, ACT.

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?

I have a tv tuner card for my pc.I would like to connect asianet digital to my pc and tv at same time?

for act broadband what type of wifi router  should i buy ,,,,,please suggest .i am in urgent 

Its being more than 2 years since the plan was announced for 2+Mbps i was hoping they would drop there prices for 2Mbps this diwali but they came up with some pathetic plans for 1Mbps

http://techwhack.co/google-hp-launches-brand-chromebook-11-46779/

 

It is powered with an Exynos 5250 GAIA Application Processor. It comes loaded with 2GB RAM and 16GB of SSD. HP is promising 6 hours of battery life. There is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 support.

 

Best part? It can be charged with a MicroUSB Cable. 

I hv bought micromax canvas2 A110 from flipkart one month back. Now it is giving problem, as it automatically types random letters and open whatsapp, sms and email automatically. Sometimes it sends sms with random letters to anyone in my contact list.

Even the icons scroll automatically and it wont switch off, just keeps going on as it likes.

Any solutions or anyone else facing similar issues???

 

Just 4 days left now!

 

 

If you thought ASUS was done announcing new products here at Computex, get ready for at least one more surprise. The company just unveiled the Transformer Book Trio, a dockable tablet that can run Windows and Android. At first glance, it's visually quite similar to the Transformer Book we just reviewed, except this time it has 11.6-inch, 1080p screen.

 

Hello Readers,

My name is Vivek Sinha Anurag and i am going to post some "great" work shown by Act Broadband.

I applied for ACT Broadband 5 Mbps plan [its having cap value of 35GB after that speed will reduce to 256 kbps] by calling their customer care on 16th Aug 2011. I was surprised to see their lightening fast response as the representative came to my doorstep the very next day and on 17th Aug 2011 Mr Ashitt O.S. collected the money and documents and told me that withing 5 days i will get my connection and i even got sms confirmation that my request no is 142263.

Now the real story started. Even after 6 days no one ever bothered to check my request so i called customer care [ 080-42840000] to remind them and i was told that i will get it withing next 2 days. I waited for next 2 days and called them again.

I was surprised to learn a new technical term from them that they are "Uploading network" hence its taking time and soon i will get my connection. Since my work was getting affected because of their delay i applied for a BSNL connection too. Now today is 5th September and i am still waiting for the connection and to my surprise i got the BSNL broadband last week.

I tried escalating this matter and asked the customer care for any high level contact and they said that i need to mail helpdesk@acttv.in. I emailed them but i got no response.

Please note some points regarding ACT broadband before applying ACT broadband
1. They dont have nodal officer/appellate authority [against TRAI rules and i have already escalated this matter to TRAI officials with the help of pgportal.gov.in]
2. They have a customer base of 2500 users in bangalore and they are not able to manage even this small number.
3. They DO NOT PROVIDE STATIC IP [even if they claim to do so]
4. Their customer care service is useless. All you will losse is your balance by talking to them
5. They can "Upload network" [You can imagine the understanding capability of their technicians]
6. They are fast in collecting money but lazy in delivering service

Final conclusion: To be on safe side stay away from them else you will suffer like me. Morning shows the day and even before using their service i am suffering. Don't know what will happen when i get the connection and i face any problem that time.

I imagine we would have some parents here with freshly sprouted kids
