One of my best TV series of all time becoming desi!

Colors, Anil Kapoor ink deal to broadcast '24' in India > afaqs! news & features

Anil kapoor, please do some justice with Jack Bauer.

I also read something about cast: Chunky Pandey is in it

As for the cast and crew, Kapoor has promised the channel that there will be no known names on the show. However, word is that Ronit Roy, Atul Kulkarni, Chunky Pandey and Vidyut Jamwar will essay some of the lead roles. And, as we already know, Kapoor will play the main protagonist, anti-terror squad leader Jack Bauer, essayed by his favourite actor Keifer Sutherland in the original version. What's more? Abhinao Deo of Delhi Belly fame will direct the show. One wonders though, who will play the middle-eastern leader Omar Hassan, the role bagged by Kapoor in the American series...

I got reliance thunder 2mbps unlimited. I live in Vadodara, Gujarat. The speed was great but since past 5 days when I start the modem (ZET company provided by Reliance), the reliance login page doesn't load. The browser says it's loading but after 2 minutes it says website not available. I need to try for 10-15 times and if lucky it would load.

 

I have been trying to load that page since past 5 hours but nothing. I did complain about this and was told that fiber is weak and would be solved by tomorrow. Nothing till now. Is this problem common? Would it get rectified on it's own?

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

I have used Tikona in my area and had mixed experience with them , sometimes speed was good and consistent pings but other times high disconnections and connectivity issues . Customer care was also not quick to respond to issues , always said problem in tower and never fixed that problem i suppose . 

 

So i decided to give 1and1 Broadband a  try and i must say , it is the best internet connection you can get if you are living in thane west . Just close your eyes and call them to get a connection . 

 

They provide connection from HNS ( I selected HNS ) , 5net , Pacenet and indigital . I wanted to buy 5net but at that time i read some posts on this website saying pings were high and youtube problems , hub not working sometimes , caching problem etc . So i went for HNS .

 

The plan i am subscribed to is 1Mbps unlimited with no FUP or any other non sense speed throttle .

 

Connection :

 

It was simple , after calling the contact number of 1and1 , they sent an engineer to our building who checked feasibility and said that they give connection even if there is only one person who needs the connection in the building . All they needed was documents with society NOC to install Fibre and switch on terrace .

Connection was done in next day and quickly activated after giving the check . 

 

Plan : Annual 4999 INR 1Mbps Unlimited .

 

Now its time for some speed tests and ping tests

 

Speed test 

 

 

Ping test at Singapore , los angels and Paris ( Best places to host game servers )

 

 

 

 

As you guys can see , pings are awesome and perfect for online gaming , i play global offensive on steam and get 60-70 ms on official steam servers at Singapore / Honk Kong

 

 

Download speed test [ Downloading a random file from moddb ]

 

 

 

Download speed is consistent and great for 1Mbps . In torrent the download speed is mostly around 140-150 KBps .

 

Caching services

 

HNS provides Linux cache mirrors , Torrent caching , CDN peering with Akamai and ofcourse google peering . Downloading anything from google/youtube/playstore gives LAN speed . Similarly websites that use Akamai as their CDN example , windows , apple , WWE , Netflix , HP , Sony , Xbox Live , PSN , Steam , EA store origin gives LAN speed . Downloading games from these stores is just way too easy and fast . 

 

Popular torrents are cached and speeds are awesome when downloading new popular torrents .

 

Customer care and downtimes 

 

Internet goes down only due to Power failure issues , calling 1and1 office , they usually know what the problem is and are quick to resolve it .

 

Thats pretty much it, i am planning to upgrade to 5Mbps plan next year ^^ . Very happy with this internet connection . If there is anything else you want to know , put it up here .

 

Rating : 5/5

Hello guys, i'm facing a lot of disconnections on MTNL Triband Mumbai.
I get 2 type of disconnections, i'll try to explain it.
Please see the following screenshot :


The 1st disconnection (the 3 consecutive 'Not Connected') is the disconnection that happens when the ADSL link drops and the internet reconnects after 1 minute or so. The IP address changes.

The 2nd and 3rd disconnections are the weird quick disconnections where internet loses connectivity for about 20 seconds and then regains connectivity. The IP address does not change.

I stay very far from MTNL exchange and my line stats are terrible. See below :
 

                  G.DMT

 

                    ADSL2+

 

 

Router : TP-Link TD-W8951ND (ADSL+Wifi)

Enabling/Disabling Router Firewall and Kaspersky Firewall makes no difference.

G.Dmt doesn't help either.
I face this same issue on my other router D-Link DSL 2520U as well.
I have also tried 4 splitters and even changed the wall socket (small white box) myself.

I had complained multiple times and the lineman came twice and did something.
But still no difference in the line stats and the problem is at it is.
I was previously on Xpress_UL_1000 plan, but now i've switched to DSL_UL_999 hoping that changing plan would somehow solve my problem but it didn't.

 

Because of the disconnections i cannot play games online and the overall internet experience is terrible.
I am very frustrated.

How the hell do i solve this issue?

Please help.

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.

We are pleased to inform you that your ICICI Bank Debit Card now comes with ATM PIN authentication for swipe transactions at merchant outlets. so now you can enjoy more secure transactions with your ICICI Bank Debit Card.

 

 

 

The transaction would get declined if incorrect PIN is entered

I thought some ATM machines already asked for it on all Debit Cards?

Folks,

Almost three months of struggle, last week I could get some response from ACT, representative by name Darshan coordinated for documentation and i paid subscription amount for 6 months.

No one turned up for couple of days, after frequent follow ups i found that cable operator in Sriramapuram area is not co-operating etc.,. When i called Darshan he says he will install the modem in a day or two.

 

My concern is why should Executive make such false promises?

Why should he say that my neighbour has ACT connectivity and he can draw cable from there?

When I called Helpline, they're talking about refunding money?

 

WHOM SHOULD I TRUST?

 

i lost trust with ACT Broad Band.

 

My suggestion to new subscribers is that please check whether ACT BB has proper infrastructure in your area and also check with your neighbour before applying.

Tata Sky is all set to give its subscribers a special New Year's  eve gift. The direct-to-home (DTH) platform has set precedence in the space by bringing 3D movies to its subscribers. The movie lineup includes Avengers and Planes.

 "As a Tata Sky promise, we bring the best in technology to our subscribers, now enabling high-picture quality 3D movies through our set-top boxes. With Indian audiences accustomed to quality entertainment and the off take of 3D movies in theatres on the rise, it is high time that audiences had the option to view their favorite 3D movies in the comfort of their homes," said Tata Sky chief commercial officer Vikram Mehra.

Great move

Frustrated with the Wi-Fi performance of existing Airtel Provided Router Beetel 450TC1, I purchased and installed a D-Link DSL-2750U WiFi router and succeeded in configuring WiFi and LAN access for all my data devices.

 

I examined all the WAN connections on my old router and updated them in the new D-Link router as shown below:

 

The problem I am facing is that the IPTV STB is unable to log into the system successfully every time it is turned on. By trial and error I have identified that the STB logs in successfully if I switch on the router & STB at the same time.

 

I suspect the problem could be with the router. Either it blocks some traffic from the STB required for logging in OR it fails to detect the device (STB) connected to the LAN port.
 

It would be great if someone can share their experience of making Airtel IPTV work with D-Link DSL-2750U WiFi router in a problem free setup.

 

 

Regards.

Apparently the gamepad accessory for the Galaxy S4 support devices as large as 6.3 inches. So, the rumor in the market is that Note3 might feature a display as large. lol. 

 

I think they should have added support for 8" devices so that the recently launched Note 8.0 would have worked with this!

Hey Guys..!   I'm totally frustrated today & i wanted to keep you infomed that this ACT organisation has NO interest at all in Expanding the Infrastructure even inside the common areas of Bangalore.

They just gave a simple answer "Just opt for other ISPs like BSNL broadband"

 

My residence is located just 4km away from TAJ VIVANTA suites in Bangalore.

I have been requesting them for the past few months to shift my existing Fiber Connection to Jalahalli 2nd Stage (Prestige Kensington).

In fact, i took the effort of approaching the Senior Technical Engineers for expanding their fiber network.

 

They just gave me an unreasonable answer that expanding the network by 4km thru streets of Jalahalli is Expensive and Costs Lakhs.  Hey... ACT guys..!  

you just dont have the guts to venture in business expansion inside the PRIME AREAS. you are not fit to be an ISP

 

They also told me that the local Government workers need to be taken care of during expansion of fiber. OR they would just cut the cables.

(The Mufti guys are quite famous for such cheap behaviour in Bangalore)

All Showcase Movies available for free for 2 days - 21 December and 22 December.

 

Good Move. Bad Timing. LOL there is hardly any good movie to watch.

Apparently this is a music album from Govinda.

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. 

 

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.

http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netgear-wgr614-54-mbps/4505-3319_7-21218238.html

 

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.

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.

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 !!

I have applied for transfer of connection as I have moved to a new house on 14th sep 2013. 

My ticket number - 1221583.

 

The house is in the same area where I was residing earlier ( Nagawara, Bangalore - 560045).

 

Already 8 days are over from the day I raised the ticket. But still nobody has contacted me from ACT so far. I called up customer care almost 10 times. All the time I get the same stereotype answer that they forwarded to the concerned department. I am in urgent need of the connection; but these type of lazy action and lazy words from them irritates.

 

Note that, when I have applied for new connection 2 years back, they were very quick to call back, they were quick to install and everything was perfect. But now, they have SWALLOWED enough money and not willing to move their back to do their work.

 

So PATHETIC service from ACT broadband.
