Reliance lease line scam?

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:19 PM PDT

I have been using reliance lease line since the past year and have noticed speeds to servers outside of India slowing down to a crawl on my 20mbps link I gets 2mbps if I am lucky i get speeds of aroung 16 mbps on psn and 10 mbps on xbox live

 

is it supposed to give me such low speeds and also twitch.tv doesnt work at all on their network as i can only get upto 256kbps on that website so every stream lags and i am not able to broadcast as well.

 

The only advantage i have had with reliance is that i can get low pings to servers outside india 180 ms to europe which is impossible on airtel.

 

Guys i have also noticed one thing when i use google dns the speed of the connection goes down from 20mbps to 256 kbps max .

 

So am i being scammed or what ???

Frequent Disconnection / ADSL blinking Issue on MTNL Broadband

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 11:10 AM PDT

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.

I have completed watching the first season of Utopia. It is really brave, radical TV series. Have anyone watched this series yet? If not, I suggest you should give it a try. It is one of the best TV series I've seen in recent times.

 

Storyline - Utopia will follow a group of people who find themselves in possession of a manuscript of a cult graphic novel. The tome is rumoured to have predicted the worst disasters of the last century and the group soon find themselves targeted by a shadowy organisation known only as The Network.

BSNL - EVDO - Usage - Review and everything about it

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 08:59 AM PDT

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

Max speed , remind u that my device supports upto 3.1mbps only

Recharge:

 

recharge for Rs 20 for 6 months validity , make with a retailer if he says this amount is not available insist that it works

topup for any amount you like , every 30 days the rental would get deducted automatically

Pathetic Service by Alliance

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 08:55 AM PDT

Ok , so here it goes .

Im using Alliance since 2008 ... Since 2008-2010 i lived in Naktala area near Tollygunge and during that time i used the zoom plus package .

The service was really good back then. Anyway that is history now .  And like all good things comes to an end , the momment i shifted from my Naktala residence to my Usha Gate residence all good things did come to an end.

 

In usha gate area , the speed wasn't that good at first but it was ok . As the years rolled by things got worse .

This year (Feb 2014 - Mar 2014) the normal upload/download speed i got is the crappiest .

Too much of fluctuation in speed . Most of the time my downloads failed bcoz of heavy fluctuations .

According to zoom plus package i should be getting 48 kbps - 55 kbps download speed , but the speed dropped to 30kbps -17kbps after every few seconds and so the downloads failed ;(

Please note my friends , there was no ping loss .

Even my anti-virus updates failed due to heavy fluctuations.

I reported this issue to the customer care and they couldn't figure out the source of this problem .

They checked my Pc via remote support , came to my house with their lappy but nothing . No solution to this problem.

 

After this , i decided to upgrade to Premium package which offers -

1MB Bandwidth = 128kbps normal download speed.

6MB Bandwidth (1am - 9pm) = 753kbps normal download speed.

 

But instead of getting such promised speed , all im getting is 50kbps to 80kbps . not even close to 100kbps . And the same im getting in happy hours (1am - 9pm)

 

I complained more than a dozen times but no luck ;(

 

Any of you guys facing such fluctuation problems ?

Any good Photon plans that you can recommend. Does photon offers the promised speed.

Im a heavy uploader downloader . Each month the minimum i would download/upload is 40GB of data. Thanks.

West celebrates WW1 cavalry men India forgot 

 

 

In that context, the words uttered by Marshal Ferdinand Foch of France at the unveiling of the Neuve Chapelle Indian Memorial in 1927 are unforgettable: "Return to your homes in the distant, sun-bathed East and proclaim how your countrymen drenched with their blood the cold northern land of France and Flanders, how they delivered it by their ardent spirit from the firm grip of a determined enemy; tell all India that we shall watch over their graves with the devotion due to all our dead. We shall cherish above all the memory of their example. They showed us the way; they made the first steps towards the final victory."  We in India simply forgot to spread the word.

 

16th Lok Sabha General Elections of India

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 07:36 AM PDT

General Elections for electing 16th Loksabha members would happen in 1 year from now. It may even happen within 1 year as well if situation arises like current govt decides to call early elections or looses majority if coalition partners pull off support (which is less likely). So who could it be forming new govt? BJP or Congress? NDA or UPA? Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi? Sushma Swaraj or Manmohan Singh? Arun Jaitley or P. Chidambaram? What impact Arvind Kejriwal would have on these elections? And finally will any 3rd front succeed in forming govt at Centre?

BSNL EVDO in Punjab

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 04:24 AM PDT

I just moved to Ludhiana and will be here for 4 months. I need a new internet connection and was looking into BSNL EVDO.

 

Can i just get a SIM and check the speed at my home in either Galasy S3 or S4 or iphone 5S.

 

I can buy the modem too from BSNL but i wan to connect it to my wifi router. I looked around the forum and found some routers which will convert USB to ethernet and that will solve my problem.

 

I almost know where to get the SIM too. Is it a good, reliable connection? Thanks.

Supreme Court: We believe Congress and BJP can collaborate to form government in Delhi

Why Supreme Court thinks BJP, Congress can govern Delhi together | NDTV.com
 

The Supreme Court said, "For the Jan Lokpal Bill, both the BJP and Congress came together. It indicates that Congress and BJP can join hands and form a government. What happened in the Delhi assembly clearly indicates that nothing is impossible. Even two parties which do not meet on any platform can still meet on some platform. There are no permanent enemies in politics. Today's enemy can be tomorrow's friend and best friend."
