Broadband Speed Test Posted: 10 Mar 2013 03:51 AM PDT Hi, i am using 32+ kbps package. i was not satisfied with my speed. So i tested my speed. Here is my net speed at day time. 63.44 Kbps or (7.93 KBps) I think this is good speed over my 32+kbps connection if you want to test your speed. Use the following link.

Information about MTNL FTTH Fibre Network Posted: 10 Mar 2013 03:26 AM PDT Hi,   I need some info about the FTTH connection in Delhi..   A. How they are installing the FTTH service: Do they install optical fibre till my router or they have some junction boxes installed in each location and from there they install copper wires ? If they are installing Fibre till the end user's router, which device(s) they use to connect the optical fibre to computer ethernet port? Do they install fibre in loops or one way connections ? B. How is the connectivity and reliability: Is the connectivity reliable? or there are problem of disconnections like normal copper wire broadband ? what is the average ping time to servers in India and in US ? Can someone give the pingtest.net and speedtest.net results ? What is the observed uptime ?  in case of any problem in connectivity, what is the response time and recovery time of complaints ?   Any more details would be highly appreciated. I am looking to install high speed fibre network for my small sized business.. my requirement is for higher upload speed (preferable more than 1 mbps)  and reliable connectivity. If you can suggest any other provider then please let me know.     TIA Sam

Grocerywaale.com Posted: 10 Mar 2013 03:15 AM PDT Took me three attempts to spell this domain correctly. LOL. Found through Google Ads. Their logo looks more like a carpenter/plumber type service provider.

Comic Sans creator talks about the need for the font Posted: 10 Mar 2013 03:06 AM PDT Comic Sans was designed because when I was working at Microsoft I received a beta version of Microsoft Bob. It was a comic software package that had a dog called Rover at the beginning and he had a balloon with messages using Times New Roman. There was no intention to include the font in other applications other than those designed for children when I designed Comic Sans.   Source
