Getting 1.6mbps in 2mbps night plan ( 800 combo )

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 12:59 PM PST

Hi,
 
Recently I changed my triband plan to 800combo.  ( 2mbps night , else 512kbps ). 
Earlier I had 599 plan ( 512kbps ), and I always got ~ 64kBps so that was good.  But now ever since I have change the plan I am getting 1.60mbps at night ( manual reset is working after 9PM ) , and other time I am getting 40kBps.  
 
What is wrong here? I don't think line man will even understand this. ( I might even get the answer, "sir yeh 2mbps toh upto hota hai" )
 
Anyways,  here are the details of my connection ( DSL-2750u ).
 
Mode: ADSL_2plus Traffic Type: ATM Status: Up Link Power State: L0     Downstream Upstream Line Coding(Trellis): On On SNR Margin (0.1 dB): 288 240 Attenuation (0.1 dB): 410 251 Output Power (0.1 dBm): 201 124 Attainable Rate (Kbps): 10,696 588
 
**Edit** I pasted above date in tabular format, even that is screwed up.
 
 
Mode: ADSL_2plus
Traffic Type:ATM
Status:Up

 

 

-                                  Downstream | Upstream

SNR Margin (0.1 dB): 288  | 240
Attenuation (0.1 dB): 410   | 251
Output Power (0.1 dBm):201 | 124
 
 
 
 
Any help will be highly appreciated ;)
 
Tx, peace

How to configure tikona with adsl2+ router (Dlink DSL-2750U)

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 12:24 PM PST

Hi,

Recently I bought Dlink DSL-2750U modem+router for home use. I want to configure this router but router WAN port accepts RJ11 cable.

And tikona has RJ45 cable.

So anybody can suggest solution for this problem?

Also this router has USB port for connecting internet dongles.

Thanks,

Reliance Thunder Plans Delhi, Recent review ?

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 11:22 AM PST

Hey guys,

 

I m from east delhi, shakarpur area to be precise .. Have been using Mtnl Broadband 512 kbps unlimited plan for last 2-3 yrs .. But since last couple months its been giving me problems ... after many days of downtime and unlimited complaints i decided to switch my ISP ..

 

The reliance Thunder plans seems very good .. Planning to get 2mbps unlimited Thunder Plan ..

 

Have gone through a couple of threads in this forum and reliance seems to be getting mixed reviews .. For some people its working fine .. They are getting the same speed as promised and some are getting very low speeds .. i guess it depends on the area ..

 

So if someone in Delhi especially east delhi region could provide me with some info on the status of reliance broadband .. it would be very helpful ..

 

I dont do any online gaming .. Just a lot of downloading for work .. so speed is a very important factor ..

 

Also if there are any other local ISP's with 1-2 mbps speeds for cheap prices .. Please let me know ...

Horrible Customer Service

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 09:53 AM PST

In a city like Bangalore, where people live on  rented flats installation of new connection is of similar importance as the transfer of connection. ACT being a very sales focused team, they casually avoid providing services to customer.

Recently I have moved to a new place and have applied for the transfer of connection . I raised my request of transfer by a call to customer care on November 14. I was asked to state address so that ACT team will verify the location and feasibility in addition to owner's permission and hence will be liable of collection the transfer amount. Transfer amount was collected on 16th Nov.

After two long weeks I did not receive any follow ups from ACT. After me following up on my request, a person called me saying he will be fixing the box. I took leave from office and stayed back waiting for the guy, he came and said that he only wanted to verify building.  Second day a different person came to fix the box which also didn't require my presence, but I was asked to come down from office. I had to take permission from owner for fixing the box(This should have been done by ACT team prior to collecting money)

After taking two consecutive leaves from office, my request is still unresolved. Now when I escalated the issue, I am given point of contact as Harish who had assured me of resolving my request yesterday as he agreed on the delay in resolving request. In spite of all the assurances received request remains unresolved till now. When I follow up with him today, he comes up with a reason stating some permission issues. Should I be happy or satisfied to hear such reasons on my follow ups?

TataSky 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus, how to get

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 09:44 AM PST

For those who want to enjoy 7.1 Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby Digital 5.1 sound with tata sky +hd, plz do the following
Buy an AVR/DAC with Dolby Digital + decoder and a set of 7.1 speakers connect them to Tatasky +hd Box with HDMI cable only (use Coaxial and optical for upto 5.1ch) go to organizer-> User Settings->audio settings set Hdmi to Dolby Digital(if Avr is connected through HDMI) or Spdif to Dolby Digital(If AVR is connected with coaxial or optical). by this your 7.1 system(HDMI connection) has been setup but u will still get 5.1 sound because, not all contents are in 7.1 sound, so choose a movie which as per internet information says that has DD+ 7.1 sound like RAOne. 2nd and most imp thing the box supports 7.1 but the firmware in +hd box is still old and supports only Dolby Digital. to get Dolby Digital plus(7.1) the STB firmware has to be upgraded. I have already mailed tata to do that and I request all of u to plz ask tata sky to upgrade the firmware of STB to support Dolby Digital Plus along with Dolby Digital. Once they upgrade it, you will see the option of DD+ in Audio Settings along with DD and PCM. set it to DD+ to get 7.1 sound when a 7.1 content is shown.

DLC (Exchange) doesn't support 2mbps connection.

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 09:28 AM PST

I have been opted for reliance broadband 2mbps plan from 8-9 months. On recently checking i found that the speed i am getting is of 1mbps connection.

On various complaint and issues. Technician visited my place and told me that their exchange doesnot support 2mbps connection. So switch to 1mbps.

 

I am amazed that if reliance cant provide connection above 1mbps speed, then why they offer plans of 2mbps,4 and 12 mbps when they dont have resources.

this is a mere fraud. Please help and suggest me how to get it rectified. As earlier i was getting download speed according to 2mbps connection. But what happened now. Plz help.

EMV enabled credit cards now mandatory in India‽

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 08:08 AM PST

1.) All the new Debit or Credit card issued by banks will allow usage in India only. If the customer wants carry out international usage, the cards will have a EMV chip embedded on the card and will pin enabled.

2.) For existing Debit and Credit card customers, the issuing bank will need to convert the normal cards (which have traditional magstrip) into EMV chip and pin enabled (this will be one for users who have used the card internationally atleast once). The process will needs to be completed by June 30th 2013.

3.) Banks will put a threshold limit on international usage beyond which users will not be able to spend. The limit will be decided by Bank based on the risk profile of user. This process will needs to be completed by June 30th 2013.

With all international cards now being enabled for EMV Chip and pin, it will not be possible to use them online ( this is extra layer of security, where user will have to input pin number after usage of card) as most of the online merchants will not have a facility to input pin during process of payment authentication.

Tikona review

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:20 AM PST

Affordable company and with the good services, you really cannot not go wrong. An ISP should have three important attributes in my opinion. 1. Good support 2. Quality connection 3. Value for money. And Tikona has all those.

 

Following are my ratings :-

 

Support - 8

Well organised support and honest with any open tickets and issues.

Speed and connectivity - 8

Quite reliable and delivers promised speed. Would have given 10, but faced some issues in the initial phase.
 

Value - 9

Would I recommend? Yes, they are value for money. You get what you pay for...

Unique Identification Authority of India (Aadhaar)

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 06:53 AM PST

the govts plans to have a biometric national id cards for everyone by 2010.In usa the real id act is facing fierce resistance as 20 states have signed legislation opposition this as well in UK as groups like defyid and no2id.THis national id card makes india a police state,mass surveillance society and blurs the difference btw nazi germany and india.
the supreme court has interpreted that we have the right to privacy which the national id card violates.Why isnt anyone doing to stop this.I contacted times of india ,cnn ibn,ndtv but got no reply?.


we already have voter id card,passport,driver license,ration card,pan card(similar to social security card in us.).EVen is usa the ss card is not to be used as a id card.why do we need a chip card?the only thing that i can think is abut control and monitoring us.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipurpose_National_Identity_Card_(India)
once everyone has this card the govt can track your every move and switch your card if you resist or dissent.

ISPs in and around Bapujinagar, Bangalore

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 06:15 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 :(

Frequent Disconnection / ADSL blinking Issue on MTNL Broadband

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 05:33 AM PST

Hi,

I am a user of 849NU plan of MTNL Triband service since August based out of Navi Mumbai.

All of August, i was very happy to have a lovely connection and good speeds, with a pretty good tariff.
But now since the past 15 days I am suffering from very intermittent net connection.
Although I am connected to the internet, sometimes the webpages take ages to open, and never open, while at other times it opens instantly. Also downloading has the same pattern, sometimes I get very good speeds of upto 200 Kbps, while other times there is no download. Although all download sites show good Triband Speed, but it is the intermittent connection that is the problem.
This problem has crept up in the last 15 odd days, and I have tried everything but no change has been noticed.

Has anyone else faced a similar problem, and if yes, whats the work around. The people at MTNL classify this as a slow connection problem, but that is exactly not the issue, as I do get good speeds intermittently.

Somebody please help me.

Saga of Light Hearted Bantering by Tarun Tejpal

Posted: 03 Dec 2013 04:21 AM PST

The editor-in-chief of a leading investigative magazine is being probed over claims that he sexually assaulted a woman colleague, a senior police official said on Friday, after the media, activists and politicians urged a criminal prosecution.
The case came to light after the victim complained in an email to a superior that Tarun Tejpal, founder of the award-winning weekly, Tehelka, assaulted her twice in a hotel elevator during a conference in the resort state of Goa this month.

I had no idea they could do this... 
 

While she has not formally complained against Tejpal, police said they decided to act on the basis of the media reports of the leaked complaint, and that Tejpal could face charges of outraging the modesty of a woman and rape.

 
Media people can speak the same quality of bullshit as politicians...
