Airtel data usage fake?

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 03:45 AM PDT

I have been using airtel for few months now its been pretty good
I took the 4mbps 25gb limit plan it was good until i felt that my data plan gets over faster than i expect to to get over ,
meaning my 25 gb limits gets over when i havent downloaed anything big
well that can easily happen casuse its fast net and all that but just to make sure i dowladed an app that tracks my data usage ... 
one day when my data plan got over and the speed went slow i check the app and it showed 17 gb used
 
So I called customer service and asked them,
they said their severs are never wrong,
 
I was like okay it can happens cause its over the course  of a month mistakes can happen .
But then today i came back form holidays dint even use the net all this time,
went online chekde facebook and youtube then checkd  the app(1.63gb) and campared it to the value in the site(airtel.in) after login in(2.86 gb)  
 
I dont get how this could happen i have print screen of the value can some one help me find a way to attact it here?
 
Is this fraud or error from my side? I know there is an airtel mod here so kindly reply :)

Micromax Windows Phone?

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 03:30 AM PDT

http://www.wpcentral.com/indian-manufacturer-micromax-working-windows-phone-2014


The company wants to expand into Europe and - as noted above - is looking at Microsoft's Windows Phone. In an interview with the IndiaTimes, Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma was asked if the sale of Nokia to Microsoft has had any impact on the company. Here's the quoted response:
 
"It has been good for us because they have chosen to stick to the Windows operating system. Had they chosen Android, it would have been a threat for us. But now we're certain that they will not look at Android, which means lesser competition for us. We are working on a Windows phone and you might see something from us around mid of next year."

Had MS not bought Nokia, it would be tough fight between Nokia and Micromax over pricing :)

Best way to import Google Nexus 5 from Google Play Store in USA to India?

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 03:23 AM PDT

Well I know it's not announced yet but anyway, I'll be buying one as soon as it comes out. 

 

How to buy it if it doesn't launch in india?

 

From what I know here are my options ;-

 

1 - Ask a US friend to buy it for you and then ship it to you. (without him coming to india)

2 - Buy it from services like iShopInternational.

3 - Buy it with using proxy services and get it here - long process.

 

I have understood the 2nd and 3rd option and it's process but don't know the first process and how it works?

 

First thing is - how to even send him the cash? I have only debit card here with me with NEFT, will that work? There are services like western union but I don't know how that works. Let me know how to send him cash and don't get charged much, minimum charges please.

 

Ok, Say I have a friend who is willing to pay for the device at play store, then he uses fedex , etc courier companies to send the phone here. Will I be charged less money by this option ? I also have heard if someone gift wraps the item and sends it to you , no custom charges will be there... is that true? 

 

I haven't really ordered something from outside india, So I don't know.

This is a conceptual render and not a leaked image. 

 

 

With a 5 inch 1080 x 1920 resolution screen, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 under the hood, it all sounds like your every day mid-2013 top-shelf model. That is, until you get to the camera on back. The rear-facing camera on the Sony i1 is a 20/13MP camera with an Exmor RS sensor, G Lens, Cybershot, dual LED and Xenon flash, Mobile BIONZ Image processing and interchangeable lens.

The general cricket discussion thread

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 01:41 AM PDT

Why this thread?

So often, we have some random thought or point to make/discuss , and I personally sometimes skip it as I feel it is not worthy of a new thread & feel its unfair to hijack an existing thread...

Would recommend creating new thread for any big news & as usual we have threads for specific series/tournaments.. This is for something general random posts related to cricket...Kind of the Cricket Offtopic thread...

Will start with one post

Stargate SG-1

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 01:10 AM PDT

dwgr5X3.jpg

 

Now… This show is definitely not for everyone and as I have already read that a couple of you have tried it and given up on it. I am currently on season 6 and I have enjoyed it so far. It's from the late 90s so it's not really what you would call cutting edge. But I love it for its humor. I have always been a big fan of MacGyver. All characters have their own charms. The chemistry between them is amazing. Especially when you talk about alient characters like Thor. If you need something for the long haul. Something that you want to enjoy between your regular shows… you might want to consider it. It's huge. There are spin-offs. I have not really explored what happens after SG-1. I started with the movie Stargate and then picked up this series. There are 10 seasons. Around 22 episodes each. Could last you several months. Would be totally worth it. I have seen 6 seasons in 2-3 weeks and basically I am going through the same joyride I went through when I saw the entire Doctor Who franchise (from the latest installment starting with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth doctor). Along with the nightmares of course. Instead of daleks, I just see Goa'ulds. lol

Hamilton pleased after maiden MP4-23 run


10 Jan 2008

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton is feeling positive after completing his first laps in the team's 2008 challenger, the MP4-23, on Thursday. Hamilton was in action at Jerez alongside new team mate Heikki Kovalainen, as the British squad continued their three-day private test at the Spanish circuit.

"It was fantastic to get my hands on the MP4-23 this morning in Jerez," said the 23 year-old. "I saw the completed car for the first time on Monday at the team's launch in Stuttgart and I have been pretty impatient since then! My first run was at 09:10 and my first impressions are encouraging.

"I covered over 103 laps, which is 456kms, today. Considering this is only the second day the car has been on track, I am pretty happy with that. We have a lot of work to do, but now we have a real understanding of where we are starting from. I will be back in the MP4-23 with Heikki tomorrow and I am looking forward to continuing the programme and moving forward."

Kovalainen, who got his first taste of the new car on Wednesday, alongside tester Pedro de la Rosa, was equally pleased with his own progress.

"Today was my second day with the MP4-23 and I have now been able to complete over 447kms in total," said the Finn. "We are all still spending time learning about the car and starting to get used to it. That we were on track for 204 laps in total today is definitely helping us to learn and progress with the car.

"For me in particular the car is very different from last year, and I have been focusing on that side of things. Settling into the team has been very easy."

Hamilton clocked the day's best time, a 1m 19.132s, while Kovalainen's best lap was completed in 1m 19.462s. The duo will continue to test at the track on Friday.

RBR signs Vettel for 2009

Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:21

Red Bull Racing has confirmed that it has signed Sebastian Vettel to partner Mark Webber in its 2009 driver line-up.
A vacancy opened up at the Milton Keynes-based squad following David Coulthard's decision to retire at the end of this season, and Vettel has been widely tipped for promotion from Red Bull's 'B' team Toro Rosso.
However there has also been speculation that RBR was trying to entice double world champion Fernando Alonso away from Renault, but the Spaniard remains non-committal about his plans for next year and has been linked to a move to Ferrari in 2010.
Team principal Christian Horner said he was confident that, despite Vettel's youth and relative inexperience, the 21-year-old German was the right choice.
"We are delighted that Sebastian will be joining us next year," said Horner.
"With David Coulthard announcing his retirement as a Formula 1 driver a fortnight ago at the British Grand Prix, after careful consideration, it seemed natural to announce his replacement here at Sebastian's home race in Hockenheim.
"As he was already part of the Red Bull family, choosing Sebastian as Mark Webber's team-mate was not a difficult decision.

Degrading BSNL Broadband and its Infrastructure. No hope in sight :(

Posted: 28 Oct 2013 12:08 AM PDT

I have been a BSNL customer for some years now , more because its the only ISP in many parts of the south india. Starting from the later half of this year , the BSNL broadband has been slowly degrading.

 

Every weekend , BSNL networks starts to crumble under the load (weekend influx of users) and not until Tuesday , the network starts to come back to normal.

 

It been happening for past 2-3 weeks. My SNR are within normal.

 

Here is current ping to google dns , so inconsistent , and also so high . Usually my pings are 20-40ms , but since its monday and as i said before , pings are horrible.

 

BxDaaoJ.png

 

 

Routing is bad , and i dont know if bsnl is going to improve its infrastructure.

 

Today placed a complaint and got calls from local BSNL officer , regional officer . Regional officer had no clue what i was telling , as he kept saying my speed is 512kbps and it will soon be 4mbps coming 1st.. *facepalm* and i kept repeating the issue is with Routing and not with my speeds. I just said to tracert to one ip (valve server ) and look at the route  and see for the lagging / latency node (TATA server)

 

http://whois.net/ip-address-lookup/180.87.12.81

 

 

 

nAaOIi3.png

 

 

A simple routing from india to singapore now goes via US *morefacepalm*

 

Did try to contact TATA , but they said to instead contact my upstream provider , ie BSNL :(

 

This has already been detailed in this blog post : http://anuragbhatia.com/networking/bsnl-softlayer-connectivity-problem-possible-fix/

 

And as the blogger said , its upto BSNL to correct the issue , which i think wont happen anytime soon.

 

Also from one of his tweet :
 

 

BSNL in #3 out of top 50 world most active AS'es. Keep on screwing up routing AS9829!

 

http://bgpupdates.potaroo.net/instability/bgpupd.html

 

 

With no other ISP in my place , and no other prvt players coming along the road in any time soon .. Dont know what else to do.

 

With more dwindling profits , BSNL is in precarious condition and letting it fail will eventually lead to more people being cut off from internet , letting it live will only deteriorate the already present horrible network. Right now in Catch 22 situation .

 

 

All i think we can do currently is keep lodging complaint after complaint . But the current mentality of BSNL personnel's is to run an OK network , irrespective of it performs.

 

Does it lag ? Do you have latency while gaming ? Not able to run a decent 240p youtube video ?

 

WE ARE LEAST BOTHERED !!
