India Broadband Forum Feed

I am from ahmedabad, Vatva. I was using local SpidiGo internet from past 2 years. a month back my spidigo guys told me that there is some problem with their local AP and hence i will be refunded my money. I applied for tikona internet provider, the guy from tikona did show up today but told me that connection at my place is not possible since he can not get a LOS to his AP.

Reliance Wimax is to expensive. Airtel/Tata broadband are not available at my place. so now the only players who remain are Dongles and data cards. I have used unlimted broadband plans from past 4 years, and hence would like to continue using unlimted in future as well. but when i did some research for the datacard/dongle plans by various providers and came to know that most of the so called "Unlimted plans" by tata photon, reliance netconnect +, and MTS blaze only provide good speeds untill few GBs a month.

Now the only thing that remain is BSNL evdo Which according to my research actually provides unlimited internet at 750 a month. but since it is BSNL obviously it was hard for me to gather information regarding how to get the connection and things.

Now the only concern i have is that, i know that BSNL evdo provides only 144kbps where it doesnt have the "high speed" signals. I am worried that if i buy a new evdo , in my home i may not get the speed.

So my question is : How do i check bsnl evdo speed in my house, without having an evdo ? I dont have any friends who use evdo. however i do have freinds who have BSNL sims. so can i check BSNL sim signal such as if its HSPA or EDGE ? does that matter?


Thanks for reading

Mani Shankar Aiyar: I give my word, Modi will never be PM in the 21st century ... but if he wants to sell tea here (AICC meet), we can arrange for it.

The Aam Aadmi Party today announced that it will contest the upcoming
Loksabha elections from maximum number of seats. At a press conference held
today, party leaders Mr. Prashant Bhushan and Mr. Sanjay Singh said that within
the next month, the party will announce names of most of its candidates. They
said that their party will contest elections on issues faced by the common man.

I wonder why there is no thread for this yet!

The show is doing wonderfully well. I personally love it. It's different, no cheap comedy and pure entertainment.

TRP wise it's doing extremely well. Currently at the top in it's category (even above the likes of KBC, Jhalak Dikhla Ja, etc.) and overall 3rd.

BTW you can watch the full episodes, trailers, etc. here - http://www.youtube.com/user/colorstv/search?query=comedy+nights

Believe me, this show is amazing. You gotta watch this if you don't.

Enter the Lumia Icon, a loaded 5-inch WP8 device exclusive to Verizon that goes on sale in black and white colors February 20th for $200 with a two-year contract. (It'll cost $550 at full retail or Edge pricing.)
The Icon comes with nearly all the same specs as the Lumia 1520: a 1080p display, 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 20-megapixel PureView rear camera (with optical image stabilization, a 1.2MP front-facing webcam, a Gorilla Glass 3 screen, Qi wireless charging, NFC, dual-band WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and Bluetooth 4.0 + LE. Unsurprisingly, the 2,420mAh battery is smaller, and we hope it can efficiently manage the high-def screen and quad-core processor without a huge drain to the battery.

Killer HD video. The Lumia Icon can record 1080p video and zoom in with the touch of a finger. The phone's ZEISS lens and optical image stabilization help deliver sharp videos even during close ups. It also comes with four high performance microphones and Nokia Rich Recording technology, designed to help filter out distracting background noises for crystal clear audio.
20-megapixel camera: This new Lumia also shines with still photography, and features a 20-megapixel camera with Nokia PureView technology.
No-squint HD screen: The Icon's 5-inch 1080p HD display has a viewing angle of almost 180 degrees and glare-reduction technology, so you can watch your favorite shows, movies, or video clips even under sunny skies.

I am looking for one actually. 

Woo.

You know how it goes, you buy a phone on eBay, and it comes with a developer / pre-release version of a major mobile OS. Well, if these images are to be believed, that's at least what happened to one bargain-hunting Windows Phone fan. The screenshots -- said to be taken from a Nokia 920 -- show Windows Phone 8, but with a few new tweaks and features. Most notable, will likely be the notifications, but other tidbits include App list ordering based on frequency of use, week view in the calendar and the option to kill apps from the multitask screen. The phone reports a build number of: 12084.WPMAIN(wpbldlab).20130509-1407 leading some to infer that this version could have been compiled sometime in May. A tease of something to come? As always, hard to tell, but expect the price of second-hand 920s to bump up a little, for the next few weeks at least.

The film, the first-ever full length theatrical LEGO movie, follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Is there any mtnl ussd number to recharge 3g plan or any website which avails all plans (as no one near my location recharges an mtnl number)???..

Sony's not really been his bag before, but ViziLeaks appears to have gotten hands on with one of the company's phones before its official debut at Mobile World Congress. Two photos are claimed to show portions of the Xperia G, and were tweeted out along with some nebulous specs: LTE, 8GB of storage, an 8-megapixel camera and a gig of RAM, plus a 4.8-inch screen.

I cannot handle the description of this service.  http://goo.gl/vkoZe
