AAP has received an official invitation from the LG. Arvind will be meeting him at 10:30 am despite his bad helath and put forward our stand

AAP is neither the single largest party nor do we believe in horse trading. We'll present all the facts before the LG tomorrow.

What a good thought

MTNL seems to have started new 8Mbps plans recently, dint see any thread discussing about it here.

Here is the link http://mtnlmumbai.in/index.php/8mbps-plan

Anybody tried booking these plans.

Should posts and threads made in the test forum be a part of 'recent posts' in the home page of the forum?

Testing

It seems finally Airtel is coming back to it's senses,they have decided to increases post FUP speed to 512 Kbps across all plans which will come into effect from 29th November.Just few days ago I saw a thread here mentioning the increase in speed to 512 kbps in Jaipur,I got excited and called the Customer Care just to inquire the same(i also wanted a PLAN CHANGE)..I think there is still a need to Increase their quota GB's of data provided in their initial plans.I was on 2 Mbps 10 GB FUP RS 700+taxes(100 calls free),I shifted to 1299+taxes with 15 GB( 8 Mbps) data and 1000  local calls free.I am not a heavy downloaded,my bandwidth usage is somewhere between 20-25 GB per months with a decent usage of phone so that plan suits well to me.

I just hope they should increase their FUP speed to at least 1 Mbps,specially in their high end plans!!

Technology giant Google extended its mega event, Great Online Shopping Festival (GSOF) by a day after getting a huge response from shoppers with over a million users visiting the site in the first 24 hours.

 

"The popularity can be gauged by the fact that Tata Value Homes sold 22 flats (housing units) and 3 cars have also been sold," Bawankule said.

Mickey Arthur has been sacked as Australia's head coach less than three weeks before the start of the Ashes. Cricket Australia is yet to officially announce the decision but the chief executive James Sutherland and general manager of team performance Pat Howard are due to hold a press conference in Bristol on Monday morning (UK time) to confirm the move.

Darren Lehmann, the successful Queensland coach, is considered a leading contender to replace Arthur at short notice. Lehmann is in England having just finished a tour as mentor of the Australia A outfit and has won rave reviews for the tough and somewhat old-school approach he has taken with Queensland since he was appointed in 2011.

But whatever the case, the axing of Arthur has left the Australian camp in a shambles on the eve of the Ashes campaign. The squad was due to meet in Taunton on Monday ahead of their first tour game against Somerset, with some of the players having been part of the Australia A squad, some having been playing in the Champions Trophy and others having been warming up in county cricket.

Surprising move just ahead of the Ashes...

The traditional Boxing Day Test returns to South African shores for the 2013-14 season with India scheduled to play the first of three Tests in the home summer. CSA cancelled the fixture last season and opted to play three T20s against New Zealand over the festive period instead in the hope of attracting bigger in-stadium audiences. Although the matches were sell-outs, there was a public outcry about the lack of a Test match and with India visiting this season, the administrators have reinstalled the fixture and handed it back to its usual home, Kingsmead in Durban.

 

Yes Johannesburg this time rather than Centurion. 

Its been a month since I started using TATAT DOCOMO postpaid connection with rs 350 plan, which promises me 1GB 3G internet + 2G unlimited internet. But as soon I took the connection I realised that TATA DOCOMO internet connets once, stays on for 30 minutes and after that disconnects. It doesnt connect back for the entire day(How many ever times you try). The next day I either have to switch off/on or Remove/Reinsert my SIM to connect the internet back again. I have raised several complaints with Tata Docmo Customer Care regarding this. The solution they gave was to "IP Pooling issue for the entire of karnataka Circle, so Keep turning off/on the data to reconnect back and occasionally try switch off/on also". I am tired of turning off/on my data connection on my MOTOROLA ATRIX 2. My question is when TATA DOCOMO can't provide the service promised, why should I pay their postpaid bill? I feel cheated by this geasture of TATA DOCOMO. Please provide me valuable suggestion to file a Consumer Complaint regarding the same. Customer complaint numbers are 759078273, 381921313

I was using a Vodafone connection which was excellent, and ported to Docomo in July 2013 for the sole reason that Vodafone's 3G licence was withdrawn in Karnataka. I wasleft with two options (Airtel and Docomo) which were the only ones having native 3G license in Karnataka. I avoided Airtel because I had used it before, and although Airtel's netwrok is good, they are big time frauds and cheats. I had no idea about Docomo, but since several people told me that Docomo has a pretty good network in Karnataka, I decided to port my number to Docomo.

All was well for a few days, and then the problems started. Docomo's netwrok is fine with respect to normal 2G voice calls, but its pathetic with respect to data. And the customer care too is not at all satisfactory. Let me explain in detail.

1) I have a Nokia Lumia 920 handset. I usually keep my data connection turned off, and only turn it on when required. I have noticed that 9 out of 10 times, I never get the data connection even after turning it on the settings. This is true irrespective of whether I turn on 2G data or 3G data. I have to turn the data connection on and off multiple times, and if I'm lucky, I get the connection after a lot of attempts. I contacted customer care regarding this issue in the beginning of August. He told me to change the access point name from TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET to TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNETHVC, and this change would resolve my problem. I made this change, but noticed no improvement because the problem still persisted. I called customer care again the next day to tell them that the solution they provided didn't work. To this, the person told me that he has registered a complaint, and I would get a call back within 24 hours to either acknowledge that my issue has been resolved, or to let me know when it will be resolved. That was in the beginning of August, and until today (September 25th), I never got any call from Docomo, and the problem still persists.

2) Second thing is with respect to the language. Although I have clearly set my IVR language as English, I always get connected to the Kannada or Hindi customer care department whenever I choose the option to speak to a customer care representative. They told me that whenever the English department is busy, I get connected to either the Kannada or Hindi department. I specifically told them to change my settings so that I always get connected to the ENglish department, and I don't mind waiting for some time if the lines are busy. The person told me that my issues will be resolved within 24 hours, and after that, I will always get connected to the English department from my number. This was during the second week of August. But until today, the issue hasn't been resolved, and I still get connected to only the Kannada or Hindi departments.

3) Since I was having these issues and wasn't getting any solution by calling customer care, I thought of registering a complaint via the official Tata Docomo website. But for that, I needed to create an acccount and the site never allowed me to crate the account. The problem was that while creating an account, I'm asked to choose a password with a 'special character', but the supported special charaters are never mentioned. I tried passwords with all the special charaters available on my keyboard, but I always got an error which said that my passowrd doesn't contain a special character. This effectively prevents me from ever registering a complaint online.

4) My final issue is with respect to online recharge. The website asks me to enter my number in order to show me the available recharges, but when I enter my number and click 'submit', I always get a message which says 'No topups are currently available for your number'. So to recharge online, i always have to go through the tedious proicess of searching through the available recharges and then selecting the one I require.

If these problems continue, I would have no choice but to port to another operator once I have completed the mnimum duration with Docomo. Since I'm unable to get solution to my probelms in any way, I posted it here so that someone from Docomo might see it and improve their services.

Here are my details, just in case:-

Sorry, i have no alternate number.

Looking to buy DIshTV.

Please tell me how is it compared with Reliance and Tatasky. Looking for a cheaper and better feature DTH.

Also I need it for 2 Rooms a combined offer with HD channels preferably.

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 ?

Don't know if it still works anymore, but worked for me last time when I ordered day before yesterday. Its a simple script used to generate BOGO coupons. Pizzas must be Medium or Large size, and not in the Simple Veg/Simple Non Veg Category. Here's the link-

Hi,

I would like to activate 3G on BSNL. I use a BSNL prepaid SIM card. Can you tell me how do I activate 3G on my number? Also, please point me to their 3G plans/tarrif webpage in Uttarakhand circle. Thanks.

Guys so frustrated with MTNL that I am starting a thread for MTNL box location in your society. I have uploaded this pic just now after several phone call to MTNL broadband guy, AM, SDO, GM & what not however no action is taken and broaband kepps coming anfd going off. This is the worst condition and water is dripping from top from a air conditioning duck.

I am also going to sent an email with this pic to the mtnl so called babus so that they can see what the hell is going on in my society.

Airtel speed sucks and they have fup but atleast in my society they have a decent box installed with proper wiring.Here you can see the MTNL wiring and the box does not even has a close lid.

If you guys have the same or the worse scenario do share you experience with the pic.

It has just been about 8 days since I took up the ACT Broadband connection and it has failed since 3 PM today. I have raised a complaint and the number is 0001483153. I shifted from YOU broadband to ACT assuming that I would have uninterrupted service here, however that does not seem to be the case. A failure in under 10 days is totally unacceptable and I have not been able to work since 3 PM. I work from home mostly and this down time is totally unacceptable. 

Please prioritize this and sort out my issue failing which I will be terminating my connection.

Might as well.

http://ibnlive.in.com/news/rjd-chief-lalu-prasad-convicted-in-fodder-scam-case-sent-to-ranchi-jail/425403-37-64.html

Lalu Prasad, the maverick Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo and former Bihar chief minister, and 44 others has been convicted by a special Central Bureau of India (CBI) court in Ranchi in one of the cases - RC 20 A/96 - of the multi-crore fodder scam on Monday. Lalu has been convicted of corruption, criminal conspiracy and cheating and the sentencing will take place on October 3. The 44 convicts include former Bihar chief minister and Congress leader Jagannath Mishra, six politicians and four Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers.

There were a total of 56 accused in the case. But during the trial, seven accused died, two turned approver, one admitted to the crime and one was discharged. Lalu and Jagannath are accused in a total of five fodder scam cases. Lalu quit as Bihar chief minister on July 25, 1997 when his name figured in the CBI investigations in the scam, which surfaced in 1996. After stepping down, he rather surprising pulled his wife Rabri Devi out of the "chowka" (kitchen) and made her the chief minister and continued to rule through proxy.

15 days back, i shifted from jammu to mohali sector 71 for my studies and right away opted for BSNL broadband(Plan 950) as i have been using BSNL broadband from last 5 years.

Last week, a guy from BSNL came and configured my connection. By lookin at the modem stats he told me that my speed is locked at 2mbps and my line strength is vry weak, so he would get my line checked. But nothing changed, even after a week.

My download speed was around 100kBps and my upload speed was around 8-10kBps. So i knew i cannot do video chatting with that kind of upload speed

Yesterday i registered a complaint at 1504 and got a msg that complaint has been registered. Today i got a messege again that my complaint has been resolved. I restarted my router and rechecked the stats.

Following were my stats:

1. Current rate

Downstream: 3999 kbps

Upstream: 765 kbps

2. Max rate

Downstream: 4340 kbps

Upstream: 744 kbps

3. SNR margin

Downstream: 6

Upstream: 10

4. Line Attenuation:

Downstream:29

Upstream: 42

By lookin at current downstream rate i assumed that my download speed is increased. I downloaded a file and was getting an average speed of 380kBps. I uploaded a file and got an average upload speed of 55kBps.

So i thought everything is improving now, but then the connection disconnected and the stats refreshed. Here are the new stats:

1. Current rate

Downstream: 2984 kbps

Upstream: 117 kbps

2. Max rate

Downstream: 4340 kbps

Upstream: 141 kbps

3. SNR margin

Downstream: 6

Upstream: 6.7

4. Line Attenuation:

Downstream:50.8

Upstream: 34.6

Upload speed was again 8-10 kBps and download speed was around 200 kBps.Now it frequently disconnects and stats are new every time. Sometimes my download current rate shows 3980 kBps and sometome it is down to 2430. Sometimes upload current rate is 300 and sometimes 100. So i have few queries:

a.  I read somewhere that SNR margin should be high and Line attenuation should be low. So what does my current stats reflect?

b. Is my profile still locked at 2 mbps?

c. I have already registered complaint at 1504(which they marked as resolved without checking) and have also talked to JE by phone. He told me that line is okay. So what should i do now?

Edit: I am using TP link TD-W8968 modem-router, which i have bought 2 months back. I have used it with BSNL broadband in Jammu and it works fine there.

Playing with this now for Twitter. Looks and feel great. One major problem I found with it? No option to sync timelines in the background. There is an option for notifications which could be used for the same I guess but only makes sense for mentions and DMs.
