Anyone using a ADSL router

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 02:47 AM PST

Hi,

 

I'm looking to apply for incable broadband.

 

I have a beetel ADSL 2+ router with me. Is anyone else using any ADSL based router to connect to Internet ? Can

 

 you please tell me how many ports do you have on the router ... and if the WAN port is RJ45 port (like normal other ports) or RJ11 (slightly smaller port than other ports).

 

Also, what settings do they do in the modem for connecting to the internet ? I'm asking this as if we are able to do the same settings on the adsl router, it might work.Th

 

Thanks,

Bsnl 750 Uld Plan Speed Changes?

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 02:23 AM PST

I am using BSNL broadband, I've used above 8 GB and according to the plan I should be getting 512 Kbps or 0r 0.50 Mbps.But when I am testing my speed I am getting 1.27 Mbps or 1300.48 Kbps.

http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3026338887

Wow, maybe it is bypassing the FUP's restrictions.Now no one attends the call when calling to 1500.Why is it giving that much speed?

My experience with ACT BB

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 01:42 AM PST

Feedback whether positive or negative should be passed to the appropriate person. That's what I believe in.

 

This is the timeline of how my installation experience has been with ACT BB.

 

11 Nov-2013 - I applied for a new ACT BB connection today in Kundanahalli Gate, Bangalore. I will keep you posted on the developments. 

 

11-Nov-2013 - Cheque payment made to Sales executive, Babu Reddy, details filled on form and submitted to him.
ETA - 3 days for wiring and connection to be activated.

12-Nov-2013 - 
I got a call from ACT technician today that cabling would be done by end of the day. Got a confirmation call from Customer Care at 1543 hrs, IST today that connection will be activated in 2 days. So far, so good.

 

12-Nov-2013 - At 1616 hrs, IST I receive a call from Mukund who is the ACT technician saying that the wiring has been completed to my apartment on the third floor and i would be receiving a call today at 1700 hrs, IST for username and password. Mukund confirms that I can use my internet connection from tonight.

I would term this as awesome service from an installation perspective, although I would have to wait and watch how stable the connection is post installation.

12-Nov-2013 - 
Cabling has been completed and just received the credentials for my broadband account at 2059 hrs, IST through email and the registered mobile number. A confirmation call was made from the customer care before the account got activated.I am still out, so I gotta go and check how the connection is. I will keep you posted. 

 

In case, someone wants to have the contact details of the sales person & field engineer of ACT for Kundalahalli area, let me know.


Speed test shows rocking upload and download speeds. I am on Act Force plan.

12-Nov-2013 1159, IST - First level checks indicate amazing speeds with YouTube where I can watch videos without buffering in Full HD.


I will keep posting various workloads I consider to be bandwidth intensive and would update this thread.

 

Any downtime or disconnections will also be reported.

CBI Director Ranjit Sinha compares betting to rape

Posted: 13 Nov 2013 12:23 AM PST

I have no idea what is wrong with these people. 

 

http://www.readability.com/articles/5btn2jmr

 

 

"What is the harm if we legalise betting, above all do we have enforcement agencies? It is very easy to say... It's like if you can't prevent rape you enjoy it, so its better to have it legalised and earn some revenue," said Sinha on Tuesday in the backdrop of the conference held in New Delhi to celebrate 50 years of the CBI.

 

I have a feeling he wanted to compare it to legalization of prostitution.

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

Hi I am using Alliance Broadband in Kolkata. It's connected directly to the PC, no modem is used. I have purchased Netgear WNR612 (http://www.flipkart.com/netgear-wireless-n-150-router-wnr612/p/itmd6354qsufyzwf?pid=RTRD6352NMKRF7JB&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=wnr612&ref=20342e26-0b7b-4eaf-83e2-d84e91d0951b) to configure WIFI for my home.

 

But when I am connecting the Alliance cable to the router and the router to my PC, I am unable to proceed with installation. Do i need a modem too? How to go about the installation. Please guide

Airtel HD+ - Query on using existing hard drive partition

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 10:56 PM PST

Hello Techie folks,

 

Yesterday, I upgraded to Airtel HD+, which allows us to connect to an external usb storage and record programs.

 

I have a query that I am hoping to get a resolution on this forum.

 

I have a 1 TB USB external hard drive which is partioned into 4 drives of roughly 250gb each. I plan to use one partition for HD+ STB. However, as soon as I plug in my hard drive to STB and switch it ON, it asks me to 1) Format drive 2) Go back.

 

I cannot format the drive, because it carries useful data and run beyond 600 gigs, which I cannot back-up somewhere else, even temporararily. I can't just lose the data (believe me, they are not movies).

 

I just wish that the STB should prompt me with the drive name, once I select it to format. But, I cannot try this, because, if it doesn't prompts me and formats the entire 1 TB drive, I'll be in soup.

 

So, if any of you have tried to connect a partitioned hard drive to HD+ STB, could you please share your experience?

 

Is there any way out?

 

Thanks in advance.

Any Web Designers Here ? -How to Build a Mockup Website ?

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 09:49 PM PST

Before I ask my question, here is some background. I recently picked up some PHP with MySQL skills. And then went through some basics of HTML and CSS just for the sake of it. I can see HTML and understand it, but I don't want to spend time coding with HTML and CSS. I'd like to concentrate on the PHP part of it. At the same time, I do want to have a decent looking site to work with and leave the more flashy design to someone else. Searching on the net leads me to believe I have 4 options available to me -

1. Do it yourself with HTML and CSS -  not interested
2. Use a WYSIWYG editor - I have been advised against this as it outputs bad code.
3. Use Photoshop and convert the PSD to HTML/CSS - too much work
4. Use a framework like Bootstrap - This one is interesting.

So, if you are a web designer, what advice would you give me ? Remember, I don't want the best looking damn site. Just the ability to build something quickly and get on with my PHP.

MTNL New Plans - What about speeds of existing 550 Unltd Combo and 995 Unltd Combo

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 09:34 PM PST

With regards to existing 550 Unltd Combo and 995 Unltd Combo, especially the former 550 Unltd Combo - will the speeds be increased to 1 Mbps? The press release or the website doesn't state that and also if these plans will be discontinued or existing customers migrated to newer plans.

Kovy stays top at Silverstone

Wednesday, 25 June 2008 17:26

Heikki Kovalainen completed an encouraging second day of testing for McLaren at Silverstone by remaining on top of the times at the end of Wednesday's session.

The Finn, who finished second and 0.3s behind Ferrari rival Felipe Massa on Tuesday, completed 72 laps in the MP4-23 with his best time from the morning session of 1m20.015s remaining unbeaten during the rest of the day.

It was also an impressive day for Toyota, whose strong form from Magny-Cours continues at Silverstone with Jarno Trulli setting the second fastest lap, almost 0.4s back on Kovalainen.

Kovalainen: We’ve made progress

Wednesday, 25 June 2008 19:09

Heikki Kovalainen believes McLaren has made a definite step forward in competitiveness at this week’s Silverstone test and is confident the Mercedes-powered team will be able to challenge Ferrari at the British Grand Prix.

The Finn topped the times on Wednesday by 0.4s and declared himself satisfied with the way the car handled on both days.

“I think we’ve made a small step forward,” he told reporters at Silverstone.

“Looking at the runs, I was consistently able to set very competitive times; it wasn’t just one run that we did just to get a time. That is quite encouraging.

Friends, instead of starting new thread for each news, I thought of opening a separate thread for F1 news. So, here I start...

Standardising Formula One machinery
Five-year FIA cost-culling plan revealed
15/10/08

A British newspaper has revealed the FIA's five-year plan to radically slash costs, with the body's president arguing Formula One has become 'unsustainable'.

The centrepiece of the package, to be discussed with the F1 teams' alliance FOTA next week in Geneva, is the standardisation of expensive car parts that add little to the show.

The London publication The Times claims that Bernie Ecclestone, the Chief Executive of F1's commercial rights holder, backs the Max Mosley-devised plan to 'dramatically' cut costs.

Among the measures is the introduction of a controversial standard engine design for 2010, additional energy recovery systems and fuel-efficient engines for 2013, and many 'common parts' for the chassis.


"We are completely open to new ideas," Mosley, albeit insisting that engines must be made available to small teams at a low cost, said in a letter to the team bosses.

An FIA spokesman said he will not comment prior to the meeting.

Fernando Alonso News and Updates

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 08:32 PM PST

Fernando Alonso topped the timesheets on his return to Renault today at Jerez lapping the Spanish circuit a tenth clear of countryman Pedro de la Rosa. It was an impressive return to the team for Alonso as he put in 70 laps with a best time of 1:19.503s.

It was a busy day for the McLaren Mercedes team with de la Rosa putting in 111 laps in his MP4-23 while Kovalainen sixth fastest, completed 130 laps in the new machine.

Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa were third and fifth fastest respectively for Ferrari with Nico Rosberg running well in his FW29 with the fourth fastest time.

Sebastian Vettel and Sebastien Bourdais proved closely matched for Toro Rosso Ferrari with the seventh and eighth fastest times while Mark Webber was ninth best in the Red Bull Renault.

Kazuke Nakajima rounded out the top ten in his Williams Toyota ahead of Timo Glock in the leading Toyota TF108 and Giancarlo Fisichella in the Force India Ferrari. Kamui Kobayashi brought up the bottom of the timesheets in the second Toyota while Super Aguri Honda did not run after problems encountered yesterday.
Renault continued its preparations for 2008 today with Fernando Alonso taking over driving responsibilities from Nelson Piquet.

It was an important day as it was Alonso's first appearance in Renault colours since being confirmed as a 2008 race driver in December.

Arriving at the Jerez circuit yesterday evening, the Spaniard spoke to the engineers to understand how the first day of the programme had gone, and to prepare for his two days work with the team.

His first day behind the wheel gave the Spaniard the opportunity to drive a car in accordance with the 2008 electronic regulations, and most significantly without traction control. It was also a good opportunity to reacclimatise to the team with which he has worked for six years in the past.

At the end of the session, having covered 70 laps, the overall result was an encouraging first day as Alonso topped the timesheet with a best lap of 1:19.503s.

Fernando Alonso
"The result of my first day in the car is encouraging. I could not wait to drive again, but at the same time I was a bit tentative. I quickly settled back in to the team and everything went well. We made good progress throughout the day, but there is a lot still to do. I had to adapt at first to the car and get used to driving the car without traction control, but I am convinced that that soon I will be used to this and will not remember what is was like to drive with traction control."

Felipe Massa leaving Ferrari at the end of current season

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 08:32 PM PST

 

 

"From 2014 I will no longer be driving for Ferrari," the driver said in a post on Instagram and Twitter. "I would like to thank the team for all the victories and incredible moments experienced together.

"For next year, I want to find a team that can give me a competitive car to win many more races and challenge for the Championship...," he added.

 

LOL.

Red Bull Racing News and Updates

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.

How much can you download on new MTNL Broadband Plans? Here's a chart

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 05:40 PM PST

On 12th of November 2013, the old plans were updated with slightly better post FUP speeds.

 

So here are some calculations on how much GB's one can download on these new plans. Month consisting of 30 days is considered and actual download speed reduced by 10 kBps because no one will get therotical download speed because of overheads.

Please feel free to interpret the findings to find out which plan is more value for money. But also do consider electricity bills in keeping your PC on for whole month.
