User id :377229840781
I live in Lucknow and normally I like to play online multiplayer games.The average pings I get on Indian servers is always greater than 250.Usually on any other broadband service the ping is less than 100.Please inform me that why is this happening? I heard that the routing has changed to Flagtel.If thats the case then please revert all those changes as it causes a lot of trouble to those who like to play online.Thank you

Tried it for a couple of weeks - not a big fan. While it helps save a lot of time on a few words (the guesses are really good), but at some places it gets so badly stuck that the time you end up wasting negates the time saved otherwise. Back to the stock keyboard for me!

Sharad Pawar Slapper May Now Target Kapil Sibal, Intelligence Bureau Issues Alert

Posted: 20 Jun 2012 01:36 PM PDT

NEW DELHI: This 27-year-old man has strange goals in life. After slapping two high-profile politicians last year, Rohini boy Harvinder Singh is now planning to slap a third minister, in the name of increasing corruption and price rise. Times of India has learnt that Intelligence Bureau has issued a general alert that Harvinder Singh, who had slapped former telecom minister Sukhram and Union minister Sharad Pawar within a span of five days in November 2011, might slap Human Resource and Development (HRD) minister Kapil Sibal at a public function.

Sources say that he might be backed by some organisation to do the same. Following the alert, sources said, a team of IB officials also visited Harvinder Singh on Wednesday at his residence and spoke to him about his plan.

Talking to Times of India over phone on Wednesday, Harvinder Singh said, "Yes, I want to slap Kapil Sibal. I am waiting for an opportunity". He also confirmed that IB officials met him on Wednesday.

IB has reportedly informed Delhi Police about the alert and has asked the police to take precautions. However, sources said that IB alert is general in nature and only concerned units have been verbally informed that Kapil Sibal might be slapped by Arvinder Singh. Following the alert, the New Delhi Police and other units of police is keeping a close watch on movements of Harvinder Singh. Subsequently, Kapil Sibal's programs are being kept secret because Singh follows the news to know about the movements of the minister, said source.

A senior Delhi Police officer claimed that "He (Singh) is mentally unstable and keeps on making such claims but we won't take any chances".

In 2011, on November 23, Harvinder Singh first slapped and kicked ex-telecom minister Sukhram at a Delhi court just after latter was sentenced to five years imprisonment in connection with the corruption case dating back to 1996. The incident had invited lot of media attention. On November 23, 2011, Singh slapped Sharad Pawar at the NDMC centre, while the minister was leaving the premises.

Harvinder Singh had been detained by police and jailed overnight after the incident and investigators had found that he was not mentally unfit. Singh was even moved to Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) in Shahdara. Investigators had also tried to find out whether any group was behind his acts because there were reports that he takes money for these things but nothing concrete has been established yet.

After the previous two attacks by Singh, he had claimed in an interview to Times of India earlier this year that he was kidnapped and beaten up by goons on several occasions.
Sharad Pawar slapper may now target Kapil Sibal, IB issues alert - The Times of India

A team from our country's intelligence bureau is given a job to track a man who slapped shard pawar. Can you believe this sh#t?

24Mbps/16Mbps High Speed VDSL Plans

I really only need 150-200 GB a month, on the outside.

I agree with you on the pricing front - I spoken [to them] on numerous occasions about their stupid pricing at conferences and while they're happy to stand up and argue, they've never really justified their pricing to me satisfactorily. I sure as hell don't understand why it is what it is, but hey, not my problem!

In the long run Fiber is a better option as it's the only way BSNL can go forward if only they modify their mindset and charge properly: them spending taxpayer and ISP licensees money on VDSL now is just wasteful.

BSNL has some several lakh kilometers of network - I've not seen them all, but from what I have seen on my excursions outside of Mumbai, I've not seen any DSL stuff cabinetized. That being said, the trend these days is to put such equipment individually in new housing societies which means there is a distinct possibility that is has been done in some places, but where those places are I simply don't know - I would expect (hope) that in complexes built in the last 5-7 years it's done this way.

However, a friend who live less than half that distance (500m) from the same exchange, along the same path, is getting 23dB attenuation. This confuses me. Any ideas?

A few possible reasons: His phone line for some reason takes the scenic route to the exchange (I've seen this too often, even in first-world countries) OR his line is noisy OR his cabling is old/bad quality OR he's plugged in to different equipment than you are which isn't as good (BSNL buys from whoever is the cheapest on any given day so there's a bit of hodge-podge going on, and the equipment used in one state/city might be different from what's used in another state/city)... not knowing your area though it's a wild guess.

80km is the upper limit on GPON, but most equipment suggests <20km. In our deployments we're keeping them below 10kmand the vast majority are below 5km (it allows us to localize things much more effectively and offer better redundancy). Also depends on the quality of the optics, how many splits there are, transmission power and stuff like that, but it doesn't get affected as much as copper (usually 0.2dBm/KM is about standard IIRC). Fortunately, fiber is such that it either works or it doesn't: if you have a faulty fiber install, it'll just not work at all.

With copper, you've got degradation, interference/crosstalk, splits/joins, moisture and of course, the problem where it can work intermittently, resulting in you experiencing problems until the technician comes around and says "no, it's working fine" then he closes the ticket and goes home, then it screws up after he leaves again :D

Fiber is more difficult (costly, time consuming and requires some skill) to install, but requires very little maintenance and no powered equipment between you and the local point of presence (CO/exchange), whereas copper can be installed more quickly but is subject to certain limitations.

Dear All

Pl note the directive from TRAI recommends certain documents for ID proof & Address proof, we just follow the same. Adhaar card is not part of the list, and they need to represent the same to Ministry of I&B to include the same. pl google and you will find many institutions including insurance firms do not accept due to SEBI guidlines.

Indian Presidential elections 2012

Posted: 19 Jun 2012 11:12 AM PDT

in the present scenario , Pranab Mukherjee is the only one who is standing between Rahul Gandhi and PM's seat considering Manmahan Singh would not be the PM for ever and other opposition is too weak to be able to in charge of supreme power in India . so this move ( making pranab mukherjee the president ) by congress would surely make Pranab Mukherjee an apolitical person till Rahul becomes PM ... this is what sonia gandhi and her team may have been looking for . nice ploy sonia..

Gmail Updates

Posted: 19 Jun 2012 11:00 AM PDT

Ah Jaymin, but thats what manu is trying to explain. Internally Gmail doesnt really use dots so esentially myname@gmail.com & my.name@gmail.com is the same. And by this logic. Once anyone creates an id myname@gmail.com, it would not allow anyone to create my.name@gmail.com as well.

In fact, now that I recall, it used to allow filters to be set in a way so that you can categorize mails & dont really need multiple email IDs, something of that sort. Had not fully understood it then. Now I think they must have meant, for example, you can share myname@gmail.com to friends & my.name@gmail.com to business associates & when they send a mail. It will be able to recognize based on filters and place it in appropriate folders & hence no need of two separate IDs.
