Fair Usage Policy - How many of you agree with my usage policy ?

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 12:31 PM PST

Although I have posted this here, it is applicable to anyone who has to deal with the shit called FUP. I have a 16 Mbps/80 GB plan from Airtel. Now there are some months where I do download beyond the 80 GB limit, but this is very rarely. Like say twice or thrice a year. Most of the time I am averaging 40-50 GB. Now, my point is shouldnt I be allowed to carry forward my unused data. I mean, I did pay for it. If not that then give me my money back for the unused data or adjust it with the bill. Are they any ISPs inside or even outside of India practicing this ? or am I just kidding myself.

Which broadband is available in HSR Layout 1st Sector Bangalore

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 12:01 PM PST

I'm going to move to HSR Layout 1st Sector in the following week. I contacted Airtel and unfortunately they don't have network feasibility here. This absolutely surprises me to know that Airtel still don't have their network in one of the prime residential places of Bangalore. To be honest I searched all over the internet to know what all ISPs are available and there are not many. I heard of TTN network as most used broadband here in 1st Sector, but all over the internet its users are down voting and cursing it.

 

I hope this is my last resort to ask this question on broadband forum, if anyone is staying here in 1st Sector, do you know what all ISPs are available here? If you've heard of TTN Network, is it really that horrible as its users say?

 

I'm really internet starved and frustrated to my depths, this is my new home and they still don't have Airtel here. I can't stay alive on shitty Airtel 3G and expensive 4G anymore . Lord knows what the hell is taking so much time.

Decent GFX card + Motherboard + Processor

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 10:40 AM PST

My GFX card crashed and I've been using my laptop since last 6 months. I guess its time to switch back to PC.

 

I've AMD M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3  motherboard and AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black edition processor.

 

 

1. Should I change my existing processor and switch to Intel? If yes, how much will I fetch if I sell my mobo + processor?

 

2. Which GFX card should I go for? Budget 7-9k.

 

I don't play a lot of games, mainly for PS and other video editing tools.

 

 


I'm considering Sapphire ATI  HD 7770,

BSNL Speed Hack Possible?

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 10:16 AM PST

I've seen many posts on internet about hacking BSNL internet speed, I always ignore them.But is it really possible to bypass the FUP limit of BSNL?

Maybe not possible in Broadband but is it possible in recharge plans? I am having a USB with BSNL sim, If bypassing FUP is possible then I will change to USB.If that will be possible then everyone will be able to enjoy the full speed, so seems to be fake :P

 

Don't forget to tell the trick if possible :P

Advice on Roaming of MTNL 3g sim in bsnl pune

Posted: 24 Nov 2013 08:51 AM PST

Hi IBF users,

 

I am moving to  a place where we do not have broadband internet connection so I am planning to buy a mtnl 3g sim from my hometown (Delhi) and use it in BSNL Pune network (hinjewadi area)

 

Please help for following queries

1) will there be data roaming charges for mtnl delhi sim?(mtnl mumbai says 2p/10kb , mtnl delhi says no)

2) will there be speed reductions?

3) Do i need to do special settings/configuration to use it in Pune (i have got a Huawei E3121 for the sim)

4) any idea if BSNL is reliable in Hinjewadi area...in Phase 1 near Hinjewadi chwk

5) any problems if i recharge with unlimited plan [read somewhere that mtnl mumbai unlimited plans are available only in Mumbai and not in other places and speeds only of 2g and not 3g for interstate roaming
..... No idea abt Delhi , hence asking
]

 

 

Sincere suggestions from IBF veterans appreciated

 

Thanks
