MS staff

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

The telecom company will offer unlimited voice calls, SMS and 3G data for a fixed monthly fee ranging between Rs 2,500 and Rs 2,800. The subscriber will be locked in to RCom's network under a two-year contract. Under the scheme, the 16 GB iPhone 5c, priced without subsidy at Rs 41,900, will be available for a monthly fee of Rs 2,500 while the 5s, priced at Rs 53,500, will be on offer for around Rs 2,800 a month.

The 64GB model, priced at Rs 71,500 off the shelf, will be on offer for an upfront fee of Rs 18,000.

Tikona Broadband User Experiences

Posted: 10 Nov 2013 12:22 AM PST

Thought I would start another thread for people who have actually used this service to describe their experience.

They have started advertising quite heavily in Bombay and their plans seem pretty decent. Their 600kbps UL plan would be excellent for me.

I really like the way they have bill limits for their limited plans as well. That shows they understand consumer concerns about enormous bills and have designed their plans to allay them.

So how good is their service? Any down time? How quickly do they respond to complaints? Really any information from people who have used Tikona would be appreciated.

MTNL Broadband VDSL2 User Experiences

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 11:57 PM PST

I wanted to start a new experience thread simply to discuss MTNL VDSL.

Some things to consider before/after taking a new VDSL connection

 

SNR margins (SNRM)
Below 9 dB : Poor experience with lots of HEC and CRC errors. Line will disconnect frequently.
9   - 11  dB : Ok but not ideal. Disconnections will be there if some unexpected variance is introduced by rains, humidity in the wire.
12 - 16  dB : Ideal and realistic value. Expect almost no disconnections as the line has more wiggle room for tolerating variances.
17 dB and up : God Mode. Lucky few get this on VDSL synced at 30 mbps and up. So far I have seen various stats and no one has reported this SNRM (That is because VDSL sync rates are always higher)

 

Higher you sync rate, lower the SNRM will be. Lower the SNRM, lower the connection reliability. Lower reliability means frequent disconnections. Hence ISP's have a setting in DSLAM to artificially increase SNRM value for a particular phone line. Hence you sync at lower rate and line automagically becomes stable.

 

Attenuation may not be that important after all. It reduces sync speeds over a distance but is not an indicator of connection reliability. (You can roughly calculate your line length from it. Do it here)

Apply for VDSL connection only if you are within half km. Otherwise you will get ADSL like sync rates.

I will update this entry with some of our findings. Since VDSL is somewhat new to India, this thread can help some early adopters.

 

Currently the speeds are decent for fast servers. But single streams are slow due to a bottleneck somewhere.

EA Increasing PC Game Prices in India

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 09:50 PM PST

Source: http://www.mcvindia.com/news/read/indian-gamers-react-to-ea-pc-price-hike-with-eapcindia-campaign/

 

Indian PC gamers have taken to Facebook and Twitter to air their discontent at the rising prices of EA's PC games.

Using the #EAPCIndia hashtag, designed to give Indian gamers a single platform to make themselves heard on the issue, gamers continue to share their opinions on the matter. While some question the reasoning behind the dramatic hike, others see it as a move that will push most PC gamers back towards piracy.

EA announced a couple of days ago that it will price FIFA 14 at Rs 2,499 and Battlefield 4 and Need for Speed: Rivals at Rs 3,499. That's up from last year's price of Rs 1,499 – a 66% to 133% hike.

The reasoning behind the hike is that EA would like prices for its PC games around the world to be the equivalent of $60, for various reasons. The primary reason is that gamers outside India have been able to gain VPN access to the India Origin store and take advantage of lower Indian prices. This was a major issue during the release of Battlefield 3 Premium and it prompted EA to stop preorders on the Indian store. But the issue came up again following the release of SimCity, which resulted in the game being pulled and then re-released at a higher price. It seems quite harsh for EA to penalise the Indian market for Origin's technical deficiencies. Steam has been quite successful in cracking down on users who abuse the system to circumvent region locks in such a way.

Suddenly Bsnl send a huge amount to be paid by letter.

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 08:27 PM PST

Hello Friends,
I just joined the Forum today,i searched the Forum for the whole day today & i am very musch impressed by the experienced members who helped & saved the other members in time of urgent help.Now i need some information,plans & how i can proceed in my matter,as i am in huge problem now.Below is my problem-

I have Landline Bsnl connection in my house for over 15 years or so in name of my Father.I applied for taking broadband plan nearly 5-6 years before.(I could not remember the plan though). On First month i have received amount of rs 2500 which i paid.Then next month i received a bill of  nearly about  rs.6000 which i not paid & after a month Bsnl again sended me a bill of rs 6000 total amounting rs 12000 or so.I Didn't paid them a single penny as they have already disconnected my landline & after that my net connection also.But still they keep on sending me monthly bill with rental charge & interest for 6-7 months .which they stopped before near 20-21 months .
They Didn't contacted us or done nothing.

Now suddenly i got a letter from them stating that I have to pay RS.41000 outstanding amount to them within 15 days or they will take legal action/ Many exciting schems r available to settle & reconnection. (I am lucky that my Dad didn't received the letter as he is a Heart patient & can easily have a stroke by seeing this huge amount)

Now my question to you all is that Whom should i contact now?? I am willing to pay the money but i will pay what i have used & settle the oustanding amount issue & can pay a max amount of rs5000-10000 which is also very hard for me to give.As my Dad is retired now & i am still searching for job.

What u all think about my matter>?Pls suggest me what should i do?&  how should i proceed??


Thank you in advance to all

Co-Op society rules regarding Broadband Connections in India?

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 08:07 PM PST

I need some help. We have a flat on ownership, I've been using broadband internet for close to 5-6 years now in this society, currently (V-com) previously was using sify. So the internet guys had installed a small box at tht time (I dont know whats it called) where u plug in 6-8 diferent wires and those are connected to your homes. Previously there were other members who had connections through this box, off late I am the only person who uses it.

Few days back the secretary of the society just removed this box without my notice. When I found out about it I went to him and asked the reason, so the reason he gave me was since I am using it for my personal use(his words) the power from the society, its not allowed. We do pay mainainance on time too. Had a heated argument with him yesterday as to why bring up the issue after so many years. He is asking me to get power from your residence which is not convenient.

My question is that whether there is any rule as such or as per Maharashtra co op society laws where such a thing is mentioned that I cannot use the society power for broadband? AFAIK, i have seen in every society they have this smallbox installed on the terrace by which every family who wants internet connection just need to plug in a wire.

Sorry if I have posted in the wrong section, since its broadband related posted it here.

A typical/weird problem with BSNL Broadband. Would make you scratch your head.

Posted: 09 Nov 2013 02:21 PM PST

I am facing a very very weird problem with my new BSNL Broadband connection in Jammu. I got this connection few weeks back and it never worked properly since day 1.

Today I sat with free time to troubleshoot the problem and found it interesting as well as weird. I actually had configured my DLink ADSL modem with always on connection mode (PPoE) but then while troubleshooting, I made it bridged mode so that I can dial the connection manualy from laptop.

Once it was configured, I started a ping to the default gateway and found, after every 17 ping replies, I am getting 29 ping drops. icon_confused.gif Earlier i had bad connection speed, but after configuring the dialler in my laptop, the speed is ok but the connection is not stable. 17 ping, 29 drops.icon_confused.gif

I have attached the terminal log below.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/86455952/Terminal%20Saved%20Output.txt

 

What exactly could be the problem? WiFi Router or BSNL connection?
