Is Airtel International gateway down?

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 11:56 AM PST

Hi Guys,

 

I am using Airtel BB in Noida and I'm not able to connect to WoW, Diablo3 and League of Legends today. Also some of the sites are not opening up. This happened 2 days back as well, but things sorted themselves out.

 

I think the international gateway is down. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

 

Cheers,

Dhoom 3

Like always, we now have the rumors on the upcoming movie Dhoom 2. Apparently, it still features John Abraham. In simple words, Hrithik Roshan is actually John Abraham in disguise. He is wearing a mask throughout the movie.

Sounds pretty stupid right? It is indeed.

BSNL - EVDO - Usage - Review and everything about it

BSNL - EVDO - Usage - Review and everything about it

I know its a old school connection , about 4 years old but till now there isnt a better wireless plan compared to this till now

Rs 750 Pm True Unlimited . Prepaid

Pros:
1. True Unlimited no FUPs - i download around 100-150 Gbs a month, i can download upto 200-300 Gbs but i run out of files :redface:
2. Priced cheap compared to others , when they charge Rs 1000 with 10 Gb FUP
3. U dont have to talk to the customer care ever

Cons:
1. it has too many
2. Coverage is too thin , forget about slow speed there are places where u wont get any service at all
3. u just cannot walk to a BSNL office and buy this sim , because 70% of them doesnt know there is a service like this
4. CDMA
5. Availability of CDMA- EVDO modems in the market
6. Recharge Problems , those STVs mentioned on the site dont work most of the time ( lost Rs 1000 over online Recharge couple of times)

even after all the above i just love this connection , its prepaid and costs 750 pm , unlimited
have nice coverage in my town , so always get 1-2mbps , but dont ask about the ping or latency values :mad:

with this connection i have never thought about another connection for 3 years now .

have some doubts ? want details ? ask it here

happy to help

Wiring up home for fibre

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 09:14 AM PST

Hi,

  Couldn't find a better subfolder to post this in...apologies if off-topic. With my current setup, I have hidden CAT6 and telephone cable running around the house with an entry point for telecom providers outside. With fibre optic providers coming in, is it possible to run such fibre cables so that I can have an entry point for the telecoms fibre cable at an accessible point - and from there to my room through the hidden fibre cable. If so, what kind of cable should I run and what kind of connectors should I terminate with? I tried googling, but, got lost in all the different connector types available... Thanks

 

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

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! 

JustEat User Experiences

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 07:23 AM PST

I want to use the online payment method on Justeat.in . One issue that I encountered with Dominos on online payment is that the delivery guy still asks for cash even after the order has been paid online via credit card. Is this the same case for justeat.in? Has anyone tried their online payment service? 

My experience with ACT BB

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 06:24 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.

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.

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 05:01 AM PST

The battery of my dad's friend's mobile MMX A111 doodle seems to have got damaged and he needs a replacement. He enquired in 2-3 shops and they said it would cost about 900 and may take 1 or 2 weeks to get, so he was asking me if something can be obtained quicker' , I saw 1-2 sites where it was priced similar, only one place, rediff where it was 500 or so. In addition I see people selling replacement battery of ERD brand for 500 saying high capacity' . are they even worth considering.. so looking for suggestions on this one...

Buy new wifi modem or take new connection from different ISP who offers free wifi modem

Posted: 28 Dec 2013 04:41 AM PST

Hi

 

My nokia-siemens wifi modem stopped working and now I need to buy new one which costs 1700-2000 Rs .

 

Is it better to change from BSNL to other ISP who provides free wifi modem and connection  ? or is there a way that BSNL replaces my modem for free . They are saying no stock available with them .

 

I will be using only internet and not much usage of LAN or data transfer between devices , I think this can be served by a normal wifi

modem.

 

My previous modem worked for 3.5 years , Is this max age of any modem ? which means I need to spend 2k for every 3 years  once.

 

Thanks

Chinna

Reliance Broadband and Netgear N150 WNR612

Posted: 27 Dec 2013 09:38 PM PST

Hello friends,

 

I've purchased Netgear WNR612 router to use my reliance broadband on wireless devices like Laptop, mobile etc.

My reliance connection doesn't come with a modem.

There is only a single ethernet cable which goes directly to my laptops ethernet port.

 

I've tried every possible combination to and from laptop/router with this cable and the ethernet cable that has been provided with the router but without any success. :(

Please tell me (step by step if possible) how to configure this router to be able to use my reliance broadband with it.

 

Eagerly waiting for your reply.

 

Thanks and regard.

Former Champ: Schu could return to racing

Saturday 1st December 2007

Posted Image


Former F1 Champion Alan Jones reckons Michael Schumacher may be considering a comeback after an impressive test at Barcelona two week's ago.

Although Schumacher retired from F1 at the end of the 2006 season, the German returned to action with Ferrari at the Spanish track in the first of the winter tests.

The seven-time World Champion proved to be the man to beat as he dominated the timesheets during his two days of testing.

And although Schumacher has stated many times that his test does not mean he will be making a competitive comeback, Jones reckons the thought has to have crossed Schumi's mind.

"After nearly a year out of the saddle, I can image him thinking, 'Maybe I'd like to have another go.' It must be just like coming back from an extended Christmas break," Jones told Autosport.

"He used to take a couple of months off at the end of each season, so another few months won't make a big difference. Two or three years might have done.

"It's a win-win situation: Ferrari gains from his expertise and he enjoys it. And you can never rule out a comeback - he might be thinking, 'I'm really enjoying this!' Money won't be his motivation, it will be to prove a point.

"Niki Lauda was out for several seasons and came back and won the title. Michael could do the same."

Schumacher misses Massa's wedding day

Dec.3 (GMM) A representative for Michael Schumacher has played down speculation that he may have fallen out with his former Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa.



In the presence of many of his Ferrari colleagues, 26-year-old married his fiancee Rafaela Bassi, who is 27, in Sao Paulo last Friday, according to reports from Brazil and Italy.



Among the 800 guests were team bosses Jean Todt and Stefano Domenicali, as well as Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa and Luca Baldisserri -- but not Schumacher, his 2006 teammate.



Massa's countryman Rubens Barrichello also attended, reports said.



Days earlier, the former seven time world champion, Schumacher, won a karting event hosted by Massa in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis.



The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said Schumacher had celebrated Massa's impending marriage with his former teammate and friend in the days prior.



A representative for Schumacher said: "Michael is currently in the United States for a family vacation."
