Fivenet New Diwali Plan Rs. 5,999 for 1 Year, Upto 10 Mbps speed

Posted: 04 Jan 2011 02:31 AM PST

Speed results just taken between 3:30-4pm IST - there is nothing to do with the speed and time. At any point of time u wil get this speed result, The catch is, it gives 10mbps speed for 10 secs and then next 10 secs, it would be around 1.5mbps, and again for next 7-10 secs it would be 10mbps and so on. so not a constant 10mbps line. But worth the money. here are some results from different parts of the world. And have also attached a picture of downloading a file(from cnet website-norton antivirus file), using IDM, the speed fluctuates as in 10mbps for 10 secs then next 10 secs it would be around 1.5mbps. Please check the picture attached.

Thanks

Hi,

I am getting a message "Error Type (2) check your cable connections or call CC".

To correct this error I have done the below but no use:

1. I have done factory Reset the STB press power on remote and put STB in standby mode and then press red button until all three lights in the STB blink and leave the red button, reset will start now but it still show the first activation page with language selection screen.

2. My Signal setting (STB2) are

LNB : on
freq :11700
Base freq: 12688
Pol: Horizontal
SR: 27500
FEC: 3/4

3. I press OK twice on the first language selection screen but still the the channels have not refreshed instead showing Error Type (2).

4. Checked my cable connections its connected properly.

Currently I am getting only the first activation screen with language selection option.

Note: My signal strength is good with 7 green dots.

Please reply urgently


Hayai Broadband Launch in India

You are comparing one of your worst possible cases(in which you yourself would suggest Hayai Lite plans as the cost ineffectivity on the part of the user increases) with one of the most cost effective(!) plans BSNL has to offer.
The plan I've mentioned is a plan which is volume based(god knows what that means) from which I have selected a plan which has the lowest per GB cost (Rs 87.5) But if you check this
Volume Based Recharge Vouchers

The uppermost plan has a cost to customer Rs 250/GB :o and among the plans whose image I have provided above the uppermost has a cost of Rs 1024/GB :O Rs61/GB and that too at 100 or perhaps 200 mbps as compared to this is pretty cost effective I should say.

Yeah, but at certain level's we're not that much different - the 18+6GB was merely a comparison to the equivalent plan - go too much lower and we don't have anything to compare to at all without going to Hayai Lite (which work then work out to be from Rs59.8/GB at the 5GB level to Rs21.6/GB at the 30GB level).

But yeah, otherwise I'd agree - I might even go so far as to suggest that anything beyond about Rs200/GB after taking in to account things like infrastructure and taxes is a little bit ludicrous and perhaps even counter-intuiative. How in the hell do they expect to reach 75 million broadband subscribers in the next couple of years if the prices don't come down drastically (whether on 3G, WiMax or good-old ADSL) is beyond me.

In my view, they already could have that much if they simply charged more reasonable rates.

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 - Product Discussion & Initial Purchase Experience

Posted: 04 Jan 2011 12:04 AM PST

I agree that Apple restricts direct upload of files to its devices but still itunes has many options compared to KIES. Specially i like online store where in you can buy music, movies, videos and apps.
I got an Ipod classic 80GB variant and quite satisfied with itunes. It would have been better if we could bypass itunes for moving music or videos.


If you have this, you are still not rich.

I'm glad it helped. :) I use Wireline. Good latency is hardly possible with wireless. I'm not sure on what grounds you're making the comparison of Reliance vs Airtel -- market cap, customers etc. Eitherway, Reliance is a massive company. The RCOM subsidiary itself is more or less close to the whole Bharti Airtel group in-terms of revenue and market cap. ;)

I am luckily, an exception here. As in, it's a rarity to see North Indian users with good latencies to foreign servers. I get <90 to SingTel servers, which is somewhat of a surprise given that most Mumbai users (Geographically closer to Singapore, if you go on basic grounds) get 130-140. In the technological scope, I guess distance doesn't matter much here as India isn't a gigantic country. Tata has great EU routing, though. Not sure how they fare on Asian/AU/US servers. Doubt it's worth the switch given their terribad plans/abysmal customer support/FUP.
