I have reliance netconnect + which I suppose is CDMA. I want to use it for multiple connection. I tried creating adhoc network, connectify lite but none of it worked. I could not access wifi internet through this mode.

 

Can you help me if through wifi router I can use it for multiple connection. If yes then  provide the name & source to buy it.

 

If there is any other solution let me know.

 

Thanks

It has been more than two months since the release of last preview from the Opera Stable. And the latest preview seems to be more aimed at making the first view of the opera browser more simple for new users. User Interface has been thoroughly redesigned yet again with fewer options on the front end. Complicated settings have been moved to deeper levels of options.

Some of the most noticeable features are close button on the tabs, a popup blocker notifier. Popup blocking is enabled by default now on fresh installs. There is a new recycle bin button, which lists the blocked popups and closed tabs, giving easy accessibility. And M2 (Opera Mail Client) users will like the updated auto-resizing reply box in the mails.

Another interesting feature are the security icon (padlock) and RSS icon that comes in the address bar itself when on a secure page or a page correctly linked to a valid RSS newsfeed. For more information, the Changelog is located here. Users can download the new beta from the Opera Forums Post.

However, considering this is a preview release users are not recommended to use this browser for critical purposes.

This is what I am going to check out now that I cannot find anyone to go out with me for a drink. :|

I am getting a very low speed on BBG FN COMBO 600 connection. I have tested it in "http://speedtester.bsnl.co.in/" and it shows as "417.10kbps" = "52.14 KB/sec" which is very slow.

Expected is "2Mbps" = "200KB/sec". What should I do ? Can someone throw some light on this ? Has anyone experienced this earlier ?

Any one can you guess how many MSOs & LCOs do we have Pan India, Individual states & the Potential market size?

I just received a refund of around Rs.68 from Airtel for the broadband connection I had disconnected. After 2.5 years. I guess they are trying to remind me of their existence. 

 

 

I want to buy a powerbank for My Note II and any other smartphones I might buy in future. It should be able to charge the Note 2 at least once( Note 2 has 3100mAh battery)
And portability is preferred ie should fit in my pocket. And COD is the only option.

 

The Joss Whedon drama based on the Marvel Comics property has landed a series order at the Disney-owned network, ABC announced Friday.

The ABC Studios project is based on Marvel Comics' secret intelligence organization that has appeared in countless titles, including Iron Man, Captain America and The Ultimates, since being introduced in the 1960s. The military law-enforcement agency's moniker stands for Strategic Hazard Intervention Espionage Logistic Directorate, which also has evolved over time in the comics.

ER's Ming-Na stars as Agent Melinda May, The Avengers' Clark Gregg reprises his role as Agent Phil Coulson, Killing Lincoln's Brett Dalton is set as gruff rising star Agent Grant Ward, Elizabeth Henstridge as science whiz Agent Gemma Simmons and Iain DeCaestecker as tech guru Agent Leo Fitz, with Nashville's Chloe Bennet set as Skye, a superhero-obsessed woman.

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 know that we need to activate the imobile App of ICICI for netbanking via registered mobile

 

Questions

a) Can only the mapped mobile phone should be used over GPRS for activate

- The answer I believe is yes, as my friend said it does not prompt him any ID or anything, but directly activates over GPRS (using mobile number linked to bank account)

 

b ) Once it is activated, can we use over WiFi, also what about other 3G/2G connection once activated using mapped mobile (Example data plan on alternate sim). 

 

Hi All,

 

I have recently installed Hathway HD set top box through my LCO. I paid him 4500/ for the box. I already had Hathway STB and now I just got it replaced by HD box. The HD picture quality is quite good but I am not happy with STB channel pictures quality. I think its really bad compare to what I had seen on my STB. First i thought it could be because subconsciously I am comparing it with HD quality but I guess that's not the case; actually today my mom's friend came home and she saw our new HD set top box and she informed my mom that they have these boxes for sell at their shop (they have a mobile-cum-accessories shop) and this cable guy buys these set top boxes from them for 2000/ and sells it to the customers. Now I am slightly worried about the authenticity of this set top box provided by the LOC. He had told me that he procured it from Hathway office. But now I am not sure if he was telling me the truth.

 

Is there any way we can authenticate the genuineness of these boxes? I tried looking for Hathway HD models and pictures online but couldn't find anything substantial to clear my doubt. Found only one picture of HD box on Hathway website and it's different from the box which has been installed in my home. But I guess the picture on website could be of old HD box and perhaps the model installed at my house is the latest model which has not been updated on the website. Actually I am not really sure how to figure out if I have the original HD box which is worth 4500/-   

 

I would be glad if someone who has bought the Hathway HD box recently from Hathway office or from the LOC could put couple of pics of the model or may be some specification about the model to help me cross verify the authenticity of the model provided by my LOC.

 

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

 

Gopi could be please help?

 

Regards,

Ameet

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.
