BSNL Hikes Tariffs of BB Home Rural Combo ULD 500 & BB Home Combo ULD 950

Posted: 11 Apr 2014 09:33 AM PDT

As per a leading Indian telecom information blog/website BSNL is going to increase the tariff of BB Home Rural Combo ULD 500 & BB Home Combo ULD 950 by Rs.50 and 49 respectively from the month of May 2014 onwards. And the good thing about the Rural plan hike is BSNL is removing the FUP of 512kb/s till 6GB 256kb/s after 6GB. That means 512kb/s unlimited for 550+tax. I've already used more than 10 GB on my BB Home Rural Combo ULD 500 without facing any reduction in speed last month (March).

People who are having 950 plan are not so lucky as they're gonna pay more without any change in speed or FUP :playful:

Rapists do not deserve death, boys commit mistakes: Mulayam Singh Yadav

Posted: 11 Apr 2014 09:17 AM PDT

If Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party (SP) were to come to power at the Centre, 'Netaji" would scrap the new anti-rape law which provides for hanging for the horrific crime. Yadav said as much at a party rally at Moradabad on Thursday. 

"Rape ke liye phansi par chadha diya jaayega? Ladke, ladke hain. Galti ho jati hai," he said. (Will boys be hanged for rape? Boys are boys. They commit mistakes.) He didn't stop at that and went on to promise that if his party came to power, he would ensure that the law is changed. "Efforts will be made to change such a law, so that those misusing it are punished. Those filing false reports will also be taken to task," he said. Mulayam made the statement citing the recent example of a court sentencing three men found guilty of gang-raping two women in the abandoned Shakti Mills in Mumbai last year. 

Yadav also said boys and girls fall in love but due to differences they fall apart later on. "When their friendship ends, the girl complains that she has been raped," he said, stressing the need for changes in the anti-rape law. 

Yadav has promised in his party's manifesto for the polls to check "the large-scale misuse" of the tougher anti-rape law introduced after the fatal gang-rape of a young woman on a moving bus in Delhi in December, 2012.

In fact, when the new laws were proposed in Parliament, the SP had objected to features including stalking being made a criminal offence, arguing that such provisions could be misused to implicate men in fake cases.

"There is a large scale misuse of laws including anti-dowry, SC/ST (atrocities prevention) act and the new anti-rape law that came into existence after 'Nirbhaya' rape case...SP is in favour of implementing them strictly and at the same time will initiate strict action against those misusing them," says the party's manifesto.

And then we expect that things will improve in this country.

[HELP NEEDED] Disabling HD in youtube on SAMSUNG SMART TV 46ES6200

Posted: 11 Apr 2014 07:12 AM PDT

Short and SImple-
I use a BSNL EVDO connection alongside a WIFI router rendering me 1.2-2.5mbps speeds throughout the day,
while using YouTube on my SAMSUNG 46ES6200,I notice it auto plays in HD if the video supports so causing unwanted buffering at times.
(sometimes i get rock solid 2mbps+ without fluctuations,wherein it plays without any buffer).
But when I play some video which has a maximum quality of 480p,it plays lag free and buffer free,
But most channels i follow post full HD videos and watching it is a pain in the ass,

I've been hunting of someway to disable HD so that i could watch videos without hickups.

Is there any possible workaround?

Thanks in advance

Utstarcom Bridge Mode Configuration And Automatic Router Reboot

Posted: 11 Apr 2014 06:52 AM PDT

This post is in two parts. Part I deals with configuration of bridge mode on the UTstarcom UT-300R2U modem/router provided by MTNL

Part two contains instructions for automated router reboot for people using PPPoE/A mode on the same modem.


PART I


For configuring bridge mode -

1) Log into web interface of modem

2) Select Lan from left hand side options and disable DHCP server. Click save and reboot the modem from the reboot option. While the modem reboots, assign static IP to ur LAN card. You can do it in win xp by double clicking on the lan icon in the tray the selecting properties > TCP/IP>>Properties...use192.168.1.3 ; put the mask in as 255.255.255.0 and Gateway as 192.168.1.1 ; use the foll DNS - Primary 203.94.243.70 ; secondary 4.2.2.1


3) When the modem comes back online, log in again into the web interface for the next part of the configuration.


4) Click on WAN from the options on left hand side

5) in the WAN setup click the edit button in the row which shows PPPoE enabled

6) ATM/ PVC configuration will pop up, let the settings as they are and click next

7) Now from the options that appear select bridging and change the encapsulation mode to "VC/Mux" click next

8) In the configuration screen that follows, make sure that the "enable bridge service option is
ticked..Give any service name or let it remain as it is. Click next

9)In the WAN setup summary click save.

10) Now the wide area network setup will appear click "save/reboot"..let the modem reboot.

The Bridge mode is ready as far as the modem is concerned. Now we need to configure the dialer in the operating system. For creating a dialer in windows XP just do the following.


Goto Network connections in Ctrl panel >> Create a new connection >> connect to the internet >> setup my connection manually >> connect using broadband connection that requires username & password >> Put in the ISP name ie MTNL >> put in ur username and password >> add a shrtcut (will make it easy to find after setting up the connex.)



PART II

UTstarcom modem running in the PPPoA/E mode can be rebooted in the same way as the dlink DSL-502T ,with only small modifications needed to be made to the script.


For scheduling the reboot, follow the instructions in this post http://broadbandforum.in/mtnl-triband-broadband/1741-finally-trib-nu-solution/#post18114 given under the heading "schedule" .
IMP : Please do not use the script commands used in the post as they apply to Dlink DSL 502T
instead use the following i.e. copy and paste them into the reboot.txt that u will create

192.168.1.1 23
WAIT "Login"
SEND "admin\m" (enter your login ID here)
WAIT "Password"
SEND "admin\m" (enter your password here)
WAIT "->"
SEND "12\m"
WAIT "==>"
SEND "1\m"
WAIT "The system shell is being reset. Please wait..."

Rest of the instructions are common to both DSL 502T and UTstarcom so follow them.

Thats it, you should have a fully schedulable rebootable modem now.

DISCLAIMER : These settings work and i have tried them myself, however, iam no way responsible for any hardware failure or any other problem that you may encounter while making the changes to the settings..

Any ISP in remote area of Sinhgad Road, Pune?

Posted: 11 Apr 2014 05:16 AM PDT

Hello folks!

 

I've been searching for a decent connectivity in Dhayari, Pune location. I tried with AirTel, Reliance, Tata & BSNL wired/wireless broadband & everybody said, they have no coverage in my location.  In this scenario, I think I'm left with either USB dongle modems or Satellite dish connections. (Yes, I've checked with local providers too. still no luck.)

 

I was wondering if I can get some suggestions on this. Are there any decent ISPs providing connections via USB modem or satellite dishes?

I've already asked Airtel for LTE demo but there is no visit yet.

 

Any insight would be highly appriciated.

 

Many thanks!

Legacy of Indian Maritime Forts

Posted: 11 Apr 2014 03:51 AM PDT

For those interested in a bit of History.

 

 

India was a great maritime and sea faring nation many centuries ago. India's commercial and maritime influence spread as far as China, all over South-East Asia, Red Sea and gulf littoral because of formidable building ships and operating capabilities. However, after the 13th century, lack of appreciation of maritime importance by Indian rulers led to significant decline in sea power. The maritime forts of India were mute witness to the erosion of India's maritime power and power play of the Portuguese, French, Dutch and English sea warriors.
