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.

This looks like the global edition of Moto X...

I am currently on a 8Mbps plan with a FUP of 28 Gb.

I feel I will exhaust this FUP quite easily.

I am wondering , if there is any way to limit the download speed when NOT required ?  For example 2 Mbps would be good enough at many times.

When I am in need of more speed (download movies etc)  , I can set it back to 8Mbps .

Whats the best way to do this ? Is it possible in modem settings ?

Thanks in advance for any reply ..

I am switching from tikona to bsnl. Can anyone here from hyd tell me how is the service? I live in masab tank.

I have an idea sim and a data card and wanna use 3G. Now, do I need to activate 3G before inserting the sim into data card or can I activate 3G after inserting the sim into data card just like mobile phones. I don't have any 3G enabled mobile phone. Plese help.

Screenr was not working because of the Java related issues. Downloaded this app. Ended up getting 5 different types of malware through the official installer as part of the package. Still working on cleaning up the mess. 

I have a MTNL wifi router, I am unable to connect to wifi on my mobile phone, both android as well as iphone, however the wifi connects to the laptop and works fine.

I have tried all possible solutions, like resetting the router, factory resetting the phone but the problem remains unresolved.

Does anybody knows a solution to the problem? Pls help

The instruction from the MNS chief asked party workers and people to "oppose" and "attack" if asked to pay toll tax in Maharashtra.
"If there is any instance just crush the toll nakas. If there is a traffic jam let it be, let the situation take its own course. Do not not bother just don?t pay toll in any of the toll booths," Raj told PTI.
Following the attacks on the toll booth, security has been strengthened across the state.

Telecommunication companies buying airwaves in an Indian auction next month will pay 5 per cent of their revenue as an annual fee, a ministerial panel decided on Monday, a move that means lower payments for bigger carriers Bharti Airtel and the Indian unit of Vodafone.
The move scraps the 3-8 percent fee range the country currently levies in an effort to coax previously reluctant operators into taking part in India's third attempt at auctioning two frequency bands for billions of dollars.
The new rate is higher than the 3 per cent flat rate suggested by an independent sector regulator, which had proposed abolishing the current levy of five different rates depending on the quantum of spectrum held by a carrier.

In the next one-and-a-half years, complete crash test of all new cars may happen in India. While a new state-of-the-art facility is being set up in Chennai for such tests, the road transport ministry has started the process of setting standards for New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP).

I was using Aitel Swift 999 (2Mbps/ 512kbps, 75GB FUP). Now without any request they have increased my rental from 1050 to Rs. 1350 (+Tax). It seems they are forcing all the retention plan users to pay more now..

I had the 999 plan (without FUP) but when they forced everybody to come under FUP & speed dips they offered me the plan. Now again they have increased the rental by Rs. 300/- after increasing it last year by Rs. 50/-

My total outgo after Tax would be close to Rs. 1500/- now.

Once again I had a heated argument with customer care & even retention team, but they are saying its due to TRAI notice which allows them to increase the rental without customer approval. I've asked them to send me the copy which I am sure will never get from them. Every time this is the same Modus Operandi where they give the excuse of TRAI notification & blaming TRAI for customers misfortune....

Anybody else had their plans changed like this..

An appeal in the Supreme Court by Google against an Andhra Pradesh High Court's dismissal of its petition in a 2009 defamation case comes up for another hearing on Monday.
The original lawsuit was brought against Google by Visaka Industries, a Secunderabad-based asbestos cement sheets manufacturer that claimed an organisation called the Ban Asbestos Network India posted a blog that was specifically defamatory to the manufacturer, using Google's blogging service.
Visaka named Gopal Krishna, the convenor of BANI for his July 2008 blogpost in its lawsuit and claimed Google too was liable as the blog was hosted on its network.
While this latest hearing, the eighth listing, according to the Supreme Court's website, will likely be one of many more to come, "the outcome of the case will affect all search engines, social media sites, blogs, online retailers and news sites to some extent," said Prashant Mali, president of Cyber Law Consulting (Advocates & Attorneys).

Of course this forum and me are also affected by this. 

PremjiInvest, the private investment venture of billionaire Azim Premji, is investing $15-20 million in Myntra.com, one of India's biggest online clothing and footwear retailers.
This will be the first online retail investment out of the $1 billion corpus at PremjiInvest, which has previously invested in traditional retail ventures like ethnic retailer Fabindia and Trent Ltd, the retail arm of Tata Group.
The investment is a part of a larger funding round of about $50 million that Myntra expects to close over the next 10 days. Existing investors Tiger Global, Accel Partners and at least two new global investors are likely to participate in the funding, said three people directly involved with the transaction.
