What is the maximum FUP limit I can get through retention? Currently on 1599 plan with 30 GB FUP

I've just got airtel bb with 2mbps speed but I found at download it shows only 80-100 kbps download speed which is quiet low as comparing to bsnl's 2mps plan where same download speed holds an average of 180-200 kbps .for my surprise when I check speed like at speedtest.net then it shows the speed of 2mbps .so my question is that do airtel restricts its download speed in its 2mbps plan?has anybody faced same ? I belong to lucknow,indiranagar locality? any local or outside reviews please

This is great news.

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. 

Agomo lets you clean and manage your computers easily anywhere, using the power of CCleaner!

Got the beta invite today. 

It seems to be similar to Soluto in nature. Right now very limited feature set based on CCleaner. 

Ok. It looks quite good. You get both CCleaner and Defraggler that you can run from the web browser. It also shows a lot of analytical data from your computer including a bandwidth usage chart! 

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connection which was excellent, and ported to Docomo in July 2013 for the sole reason that Vodafone's 3G licence was withdrawn in Karnataka.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:-

Number:- +919880144504

Sorry, i have no alternate number.

Hi all!

I have recently got a mtnl connection installed with their provided Binatone DM 856W wireless N router. The WiFi had been working fine since yesterday night when it kept dropping every 2-3 minutes.It would drop, then reconnect, then drop again and then reconnect again. And then after a few tries my laptop, which is running linux mint 14, would start asking for the wireless password or key. Thinking it was an intereference problem as there are many networks surrounding my house, I changed the channel to 3. Although I THINK it improved the responsiveness of the connection, it still keeps dropping. I tried changing the wifi password but the same problem kept happening.Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening and what to do about it?

My cousin found this ISP today. Is anyone using this or has used this?

Here's their website : http://weinternet.in/advt-mumbai_mirror.html

Their plans seem really cheap and no fup !!

Hi, I live in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Here in the city there are many ISP available but my area is not feasible by any ISP except BSNL and here BSNL broadband( wire-line) really sucks. Its upload speed is pathetic. Right now I am using BSNL Evdo its good for download but upload speed, I really don't except more from it.

Even in this city only reliance broadband have good upload speed which gives near 1 mbps upload speed.

Suggest me a wireless broadband which gives me good upload speed. And also it should be unlimited. 3G and MTS like EVDO services are not unlimited and they are too much expensive.

I only had seen a video on YouTube of Reliance WiMax which gives more than 1 mbps upload speed. But only one video which is not sufficient for trusting.

What I need only good upload speed.

I have a teracom t2-b-gawv1.4u10y-bi , i want to use this with new act broadband for wifi. Can somebody tell me whether it is compatible...

I logged in to my account after 5 years. I have to sell some stock this week. I just wanted to know somethings if anyone here can help. 

My DMAT account is connected to my savings account. I do not remember how I started trading. I wonder if I allocated some funds from my savings account to my DMAT account for purchasing stocks? 

What happens when I sell stock from my DMAT account? Is the money deposited straight to my savings account? Or ICICIDirect has its own storage account for funds allocated by me for trading? 

Have absolutely no clue how things work!

Does anyone have the new 10/20/50/100 Mbps High speed plans? They seem much better than Airtel's plans. What kind of connections are they?

Update:

Connection is useless. They are barely able to provide 1.5 - 2 Mbps. Read post #109 onwards.

Hi Guys,

I have recently shifted to the Rajakilpakkam area, Chennai. Was desperately looking for an ISP. Airtel did not have cables, I am not  a great fan of BSNL due to to my past experiences, so rejected that. Finally got to know about a new ISP by the name VIBRANTNET (www.vibrantnet.in). I was using Wi-Fi (FTTH) when I used to stay in Medavakkam, the plans provided by this guy matches the same as Wi-Fi, checked with the Sales guy and came to know that these guys have taken over from Wi-Fi. 

I am left with no choice, but I am still confused if I can go for this. I have opted for 4Mbps plan (Rs. 3454 for 3 months + 750 Reg Fee + Tax). The Sales guy has promised to come back within 3 days for the installation. Can someone suggest please?

MTNL has introduced truly Unlimited 3G Postpaid plan in Mumbai circle. Postpaid 3G data plan of Rs 1650 which was earlier offering 50GB 3G data usage has been revised to offer Unlimited 3G data usage . The revised 3G plan is available from 1st Dec'13 for its customers in Mumbai. Interestingly this revision has not been carried out in prepaid segment and prepaid pack of Rs 1650 will continue to offer 50GB with 30 days validity.
