599 - 4Mbps till 25 GB, 512 Kbps thereafter.
999 - 16 Mbps till 50 GB, 2 Mbps thereafter -- WOW. This is what competition does to you. BEAM effect.
2499 - 50 Mbps till 50 GB, 6 Mbps thereafter.

Guys

TIKONA says no gb restrictions

BE CAREFUL Their Post FUP speeds are dismally low

Fixed flat post FUP speed which is much less than airtel/reliance

DONT EVER OPT for TIKONA

hi Guys,

Its frustrating that BSNL is yet to launch truly unlimited 1/2/4 Mbps plans for < 1500Rs. Its perpetually offering 512Kbps speeds from last 4-5 years. Not only that, they are not even offering speed boost say after 6pm like MTNL does. Its not only about downloading torrents. Even if i want to watch Youtube files, I am not able to with 512kbps. They should start offering speed boost to 2/4Mbps at 6pm to 8am slot if offering the same at daytime is not possible. What can we do in this situation ? Can we all raise a CRM ticket at selfcare portal to demand this ?

Sanket.

Kindly go thorugh the new cable service provider in bangalore

Anyone with the idea of their channels and reviews on it ?

Hi all,

I stay in Thakur Village, Kandivali (E), Mumbai. I have been using MTNL triband for the past 3 months, and I am frustrated. I used to have Hathway as well, but had billing problems with them as well.

Long story short, I am contemplating Airtel broadband - "New Turbo 25GB ( 4mbps - upto 25GB - 512kbps later @1199/-pm).

My questions:

1. How is the performance of Airtel broadband in Thakur Village/kandivali ?. I have been reading mixed reviews and confused how will it perform in the area where I stay.

2. I have a 4BHK, and I was thinking of getting TP Link TD-8968 Modem Router. Will it work with Airtel?

    The reason I am thinking of purchasing this, inspite Airtel guys saying I will get a free wifi router is because I want good coverage throughout my house.

I am confused between 3 models :

  http://www.flipkart.com/router/compare?ids=RTRD4KY4UNGYCZFG,RTRDET9AGHDZE6HM,RTRDGGQ754BDWH7U  

Which one should I buy? Or should I stick with the free one, and only buy if not satisfied with the free one?

3. What does the antenna capacity - MIMO/3dbi/5dbi compare when coverage is concerned. Which is better?

Thanks.

Hi..

I have chosen the 549 plan
1Mbps Speed and unlimited download .
But i got only 800kbps speed.

I have paid 1350rs to get a new connection 800rs for service charge and balance 550rs as advance rent.
After paying they fixed the connecting in three working days.

for the first month there was no problem in the connection.
In (24-12-2013) the connection has not worked. On the next day i have complained to the customer care executive.
They provided me complain reference number and they said within 24 hours you complain will be resolved.

No one have called me back to resolve this issue and i repeatedly call to them for next 2 weeks.
On every call they say your complain is in processing status and will be resolved within maximum of 48 hours.

30-12-2013 A person has called and asked to pay the bill of amount 712rs, I said the connection was not worked for the last two
weeks i will pay when you resolve the problem. He said if you make late payment we will add 100rs as penalty. Due date of the bill is (1-Jan-2014).

2-jan-2014 i have requested to cancel the connection, but they have not taking request to cancel by saying the reason
we can't take you request you already have one complain after closing the complain you can make the termination request.

Then i repeatedly calling them they taken the request.
After a week i contacted one of my friend working in Reliance Marketing Team.
He said there was a problem in server that they have not payed EB-Bill for a month.
They don't have power supply for the particular server in that area.

In January First weak i repeatedly getting calls from reliance they said to pay the bill i said for the past 10 days the connection is not working first resolve that.
One person said even though the connection is not working you need to pay the bill for you have used.
But the connection is activated by paying the rent in advance then i why need to pay for...

Still now the connection is not working and no one is addressing the issue, but i am getting messages to mobile to pay the bill to avoid penalty..

I have to admit, I have no idea. This has been my experience…

ICICI Bank recently mailed me that they were no longer going to send paper statement by postal mail.

I have two options. I can either make do with emailed statements. Or I can apply for a passbook. About the passbook, the email clearly said:


You can also ask for a pass book at your nearest branch.


Today, I decided to give it a go. I went to my 'nearest branch' (Sector 31 Market Gurgaon) to get a passbook for my savings bank account. I was told that there were some technical problems and only this branch right now was not able to provide passbooks to customers. I was told to visit any other branch where I could get a passbook on the spot.

I decided to take it one step further. I went to another branch of ICICI Bank (Civil Lines Gurgaon). There I was told that I can only get a passbook from the branch where I have my account.

I decided to do exactly that. I went to the branch where my account was located (Sector 14 Gurgaon). Was told… I can leave the application and come back after a week or so to collect my passbook. I was not amused by this. I asked for more details. Was told that only the home branch has the powers to update my passbook so I would have to deal with them.

Not exactly what ICICI Bank indicated in their initial mail.

I did the next best thing. I applied to transfer my account from that branch to the one nearest to my home.

This process would take three days. The bank representative at the local branch had told me that it would take them at least 2 weeks to start distributing passbooks again.

So well… The waiting begins.

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!

Hi, I have just register my account hope to get answer of my all question.

Firstly I want Bnsl broadband connection at my home. BSNL BB is available in my area but there is no wiring near my house. Bnsl care person said me that they can't give me broadband so i have to use wimax but wimax also does not work at my home because of high tree around my home.

Can i insist them for giving me wire broadband connection.

Can me and my friend share a single user name and password for using broadband. Would we able to use username and password simultaneously. Or we have to log out from one side.

Do bsnl user can see Internet data history. How much they used ? How much data left?

If i apply for any limited data plan then can i see my Data left?

One more question, I was looking on internet and found that people hack other user password and username and use them. Why don't BSNL sue them. While they use someone else username or password that time don't the real user get to know that someone else is using his data ?

Please answer all of my Question...

Thank you.

Extant is an upcoming American science fiction drama television series that will air on CBS. It revolves around a female astronaut (Halle Berry) who returns home to her family after a year in outer space. On August 7, 2013, CBS announced that it had placed a 13-episode straight-to-series order, bypassing the pilot stage. Steven Spielberg will serve as an executive producer.

Hi,

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.

As a big movie buff, I download lots of movies. And it is very irritating when you don't have internet that doesn't provide you with consistent proper speed. Tikona never gave such problems. From the day of installation the connection has been awesome! Good speed, uninterrupted connection and unlimited surfing and download... Really enjoy the downloads at a very good speed and that to at a very reasonable price! Have nothing more to expect from them... Happy and Satisfied!

Playing with this now for Twitter. Looks and feel great. One major problem I found with it? No option to sync timelines in the background. There is an option for notifications which could be used for the same I guess but only makes sense for mentions and DMs.

MTNL seems to have started new 8Mbps plans recently, dint see any thread discussing about it here.

Here is the link 8Mbps Plan - MTNL Mumbai

Anybody tried booking these plans.

Rahul Gandhi will lead the Congress party's campaign for national elections due by May, but he will not be formally announced as the party's candidate for prime minister, a senior party leader said on Thursday.

AAP leader Kumar Vishwas stressed the need for Delhi Police to be brought under the jurisdiction of the state government. Delhi Police are at present under the jurisdiction of the union government.
"Delhi Police should be brought under the state government. This is an old demand of ours, so the chief minister and central government should make an effort," Vishwas said.
He said that since Delhi Police remain under the central government, they cannot work properly.
Demanding a home minister at the state level, Vishwas said: "If any such incidents happen in Delhi, there should be a home minister, so that he can look after the Delhi affairs. It otherwise becomes a long affair which includes contacting and consulting the centre."

Reliance Jio Infocomm joined top telcos Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India and Idea Cellular in applying to bid for spectrum in auctions beginning February 3, setting the stage for a grand fight, especially in the 900 Mhz band.
By getting the spectrum, Reliance Industries would be able to launch basic mobile phone services along with its yet-to-be launched 4G venture.

RIL will join Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular as well as the local units of Vodafone Group PLC and Telenor ASA in bidding for bandwidth in the auction in February. The government aims to raise at least Rs 11000 crore through two sets of auctions, one for a national service and another for a portion of bandwidth in Delhi, Mumbai or Kolkata, collectively home to over 32 million Indians.
RIL will bid to operate both nationally and in the three cities. A successful bid would mark the company's re-entry into the phone business after spinning-off its cellphone unit Reliance Communications in 2005, to brother Anil Ambani, as part of the division of the business empire built by their late father, Dhirubhai Ambani.
