So, I started watching this because the second season of Six Feet Under turned out to be corrupted. Liking it so far. There are a few issues though…

The characters are pretty similar to the SG-1 team. John Sheppard is an exact duplicate of Jack O'Neill for example.

I have not reached the stage where the character of Ronon Dex joins them. And I am seriously not looking forward to Samantha Carter replacing Elizabeth Weir as I have heard she does (not sure though).

I also see that Jewel Staite would be joining the cast as well. That should be nice. She was in Firefly!

A lot of episodes have similar stories to SG-1. The concept is also on the similar lines. Some shit happens and things are not looking good but everything magically fix up in the last 2 minutes of the episode. Most of the stories are independent in nature just like SG-1. Few stories are divided into two episodes.

R.I.P. Paul Walker

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 12:50 PM PST

This is hard to believe and I'm still not sure whether its a hoax or not.

http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2013-12-01/fast-and-furious-actor-paul-walker-killed-in-car-crash/5127484

" Actor Paul Walker, best known for his hit roles in The Fast and The Furious movie franchise, has been killed in a fiery car crash in California.

The 40-year-old actor was a passenger in a Porsche that lost control and crashed in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles, killing both occupants."

Samsung Galaxy S Duos

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 12:45 PM PST

The Galaxy S Duos S7562 won't make its bigger sibling jealous with a 4-inch WVGA display, a 1GHz Snapdragon MSM7227A chip or 512MB of RAM, but they're not the point.

The rest of the hardware falls in line with what's likely to be a much less expensive smartphone, including a 5-megapixel back camera, a VGA front camera and 4GB of storage. Buyers will be glad to know that Android 4.0 should still be coming along for the ride in addition to that stone-inspired look.

Rouuter for bsnl evdo teracom modem

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 12:04 PM PST

I am using bsnl evdo but i need a wireless router for it. Modem provided by bsnl is Teracom T-U500. So I need a router which supports it.


I got this router on flipkart

 

http://www.flipkart.com/tp-link-tl-mr3020-portable-3g-3-75g-4g-wireless-n-router/p/itmd8fsebcjkr94y?pid=RTRD8FNGAPAKBDPC&ref=344bbf05-20aa-4ca2-bb3d-17e8ff777e51

 

Can anyone tell me it will work or not with bsnl evdo teracom T-U500

My experience with ACT BB

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 11:19 AM PST

Feedback whether positive or negative should be passed to the appropriate person. That's what I believe in.

 

This is the timeline of how my installation experience has been with ACT BB.

 

11 Nov-2013 - I applied for a new ACT BB connection today in Kundanahalli Gate, Bangalore. I will keep you posted on the developments. 

 

11-Nov-2013 - Cheque payment made to Sales executive, Babu Reddy, details filled on form and submitted to him.
ETA - 3 days for wiring and connection to be activated.

12-Nov-2013 - 
I got a call from ACT technician today that cabling would be done by end of the day. Got a confirmation call from Customer Care at 1543 hrs, IST today that connection will be activated in 2 days. So far, so good.

 

12-Nov-2013 - At 1616 hrs, IST I receive a call from Mukund who is the ACT technician saying that the wiring has been completed to my apartment on the third floor and i would be receiving a call today at 1700 hrs, IST for username and password. Mukund confirms that I can use my internet connection from tonight.

I would term this as awesome service from an installation perspective, although I would have to wait and watch how stable the connection is post installation.

12-Nov-2013 - 
Cabling has been completed and just received the credentials for my broadband account at 2059 hrs, IST through email and the registered mobile number. A confirmation call was made from the customer care before the account got activated.I am still out, so I gotta go and check how the connection is. I will keep you posted. 

I have connected the cable from ACT BB to my Netgear WGR614 router.

In case, someone wants to have the contact details of the sales person & field engineer of ACT for Kundalahalli area, let me know.

Speed test shows rocking upload and download speeds. I am on Act Force plan.

3096404549.png

12-Nov-2013 1159, IST - First level checks indicate amazing speeds with YouTube where I can watch videos without buffering in Full HD.


I will keep posting various workloads I consider to be bandwidth intensive and would update this thread.

 

Any downtime or disconnections will also be reported.

Upload Speeds Indian ISP

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 10:39 AM PST

Okay let me get my point across quickly ..  I currently get 0.85 mbps upload speed with airtel 

What is the highest upload speed I can get on a broadband connection for my residence in Delhi 
                                                              
                                                             OR

Which ISP in Delhi provides the highest Upload Speed for residence connection ?

                                                       OR

If broadband for residence doesn't have high upload speeds is there any other way like a 3G data card or something by which I can get atleast 2-4 mbps upload speed ?

ISPs in and around Bapujinagar, Bangalore

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 06:57 AM PST

Hello everyone.

 

I've searched top to bottom for a decent ISP for my area (Bapujinagar/Byatrayanpura, Mysore Road, Bangalore) but so far I'm drawing a blank. Just to let you all know, I've tried

 

ACT - No Service in my area

Tikona - No Service

SpectraNet - No Service

BBNL - No Service

Railwire - No Service

DVoiS - No Service

Airtel - No service

 

I am using BSNL for the past 6 years and the service has always been terrible. But lately its gottten so horrible that i simply dont want to put up with its bullshit anymore. The connection doesnt stay up for more than 15 mins, the speed is terrible and the jackasses at the customer care or at their corporate offices don't know anything as to what the problem is.

 

I don't mind even if the service is a bit expsive, but what I'm looking for is a decent ISP that has very little connection outages/disconnects and a decent speed.

 

Does anyone know of any such service ? Getting really desperate now :(

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

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 05:55 AM 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.

Since Kuselan Chapter is over.......I wanted to come out by this new thread which i want to see rajini fans to participate and news of rajinikanth is also shared over here too.............

Yenthiran – First look!September 05, 2008Shankar's dream project Robot is already a hot cake among the media, with news updates coming out thick and fast. The latest scoop is that the movie might be titled Yenthiran and not Yenthiram. There is also news about the photo shoot which took place. The first look of Yenthiran, which will be released to the media soon, will have a completely shaved, suave looking Rajinikanth in designer

sun glasses and a metal cap. And the highlight of the poster would a red rose that the Superstar will be holding.
The poster also carries a byline – The Robot!
There seems to a different set of posters designed for Aishwarya Rai.

Shahrukh up in arms against Robot September 04, 2008Shahrukh Khan had initially planned to produce and act in Shankar’s Robot. But this plan did not take off and the offer finally landed on superstar Rajinikanth. With the film being made in Tamil, the director decided to opt for a name change to get the tax sops announced by the Tamil Nadu government for films with Tamil names. It is now believed that Robot will be rechristened Yenthram.

Meanwhile, Shahrukh’s production house Red Chilies has created a stir in the film industry by registering about nine names that have the word Robot in it. Director Shankar had plans to simultaneously make it in Hindi because Ashwarya Rai-Bachchan plays the female lead. With Shah Rukh’s title registering act Robot in Hindi could suffer a major blow. Wonder what the star is up to!

How many of you are facing wrong data calculation on Airtel plans

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 03:43 AM PST

I've been using Airtel broadband 16mbps plan since a long time now. And from couple of months back, i am facing this issue where i download about 1gb of data but the smartbytes show a usage of more than 2gb. I understand that the smartbytes should calculate the data transfer between ports, but i fail to understand, to download 1gb of file, the computer cannot transfer more than 2gb of data.

 

How many of you are facing similar issue, where you are not using the data but the amount deducted is unfair.

Torrent settings for Act broadband

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 01:35 AM PST

Hi guys,

 

I have recently purchased ACT broadband for my home. Initially the torrents were downloading properly and with speeds upto 500 kbps.

Since the last two days though my speed is decent and the seed/peer ratio is also good enough, I am unable to download the torrents. It gets stuck in checking for metadata or downloading 0.0%.

 

Can anybody share the torrent settings?

Thanks in advance. :)

You have my money for the last time ! *VODAFONE*

Posted: 01 Dec 2013 01:12 AM PST

dear vodafone,

 

you guys suck ! your customer care is pathetic (yes you really dont care for your consumers ) i recharged 199 unlimited 2g pack but it seems more like a no-G pack... no speeds anytime of the day, when i call customer care they give silly advices like restart your phone, check your apn, move to a more servicable area (yeah sure ... i would buy a new house for using your silly net service). The problem is in the vodafone system administration,  you guys have capped speed to such an extent that its unusable.

I have been using Aircel (for both 2g and 3g which is awesome) and infact IDEA has better speed output in 2g. Your network inspite of being most used is so pathetic in terms of speed that i have almost made up my mind to not waste any more of my hard earned money in your net plans.

 

Just make sure you are not out of race because you are already losing it. I have many friends using your 3g and they said speed was ok but no one  said the speed was awesome, your prices are high, speeds are low and under any circumstances you are going to lose more users like me if you continue on the same track.

 

best regards,

 

Abhishek
