Airtel offered me a new plan

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 02:52 AM PST

Airtel called me today and said since I'd taken Smartbytes for 12gb last month, they wanted to offer 125 fup plan(80gb now) at the same speed(8mbps) for 50rs extra.

 

I also heard they are giving 3g at 2g rates in my area these days.

Is airtel on a PR improving spree? Anyone got offers like this?

Shifting to Hyderabad from Bangalore

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 02:29 AM PST

Hi Guys,

 

I've been using ACT broadband in Bangalore for the past 4 months and have been really happy with their service. However, i now need to relocate to Hyderabad and also move my Broadband connection there. There is no ACT broadband in Hyderabad, but BemeTele, which is an ACT company. At the time of taking this connection I was told that it is possible to transfer the connection to Hyderabad, but customer care is asking me to cancel my connection here and take a new one in hyderabad.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

Siddarth

Happy Customer!

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 02:03 AM PST

Been with Tikona now for a few months. So far so good.
The connection has been very good and stable, and the call I logged about configuring a new router was dealt with swiftly and efficiently.
Price wise good value.
Happy customer!

Disappointed even before I get the connection

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 01:40 AM PST

hi ACT team

 

Ticket number 2101018, user id 553844

 

Please tell your colleagues to have some respect to our time and money.

 

I have made a payment of 6735 on Monday 16th Dec. Your team told that they would come on Saturday 21st and complete the setup.

But no one turned up until 6:30 in the evening and one person comes to fix a box and he says that the remaining would be done next day i.e. 22nd Sunday. 

Now I wait all Sunday just for your team to turn up. Again on person comes late evening to do some work in the box and he says remaining will be done tomorrow.

 

I have wasted two days just waiting for your people. Most horrible part is the Sales person Sheriff who was actively answering my calls, went busy every time I call him after the payment!!.

He hasn't been responding to the calls nor your team is honouring any commitments. 

Do they understand what we go through? 

 

What kind of service is this? I'm seriously disappointed even before we start!!

Can someone help here and fix this immediately please or refund the amount. 

 

thanks

Shivakumar

Hathway needs Cable Connection to give Internet?

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 01:32 AM PST

Apologies if duplicate, i did not find a thread which discusses this.

 

So I wanted a new internet connection in Goregaon East and I applied for Hathway. They Initially they took the form and cheque, and promised to do the installation. However, later they called back and said they cannot install broadband since "I don't subscribe to a cable connection from them". They did, however, promise to refund the money.

 

This sounds like an extortion scheme to me. As a customer, I should be having a choice to subscribe to internet without subscribing to cable connection (Yes, I know I am in India, but still....). I am not sure if such extortion is even legal?? Just wanted the advice of this forum on if I can do anything (more than angry tweets) to get these horrible guys to do something, or do we just have to take this lying down???

 

It's now 2 weeks I am trying to get a broadband connection in Goregaon. Can't believe I live in India's biggest metro....

Need a wireless broadband for streaming videos.

Posted: 24 Dec 2013 12:43 AM PST

Hi, I live in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Here in the city there are many ISP available but my area is not feasible by any ISP except BSNL and here BSNL broadband( wire-line) really sucks. Its upload speed is pathetic. Right now I am using BSNL Evdo its good for download but upload speed, I really don't except more from it.

Even in this city only reliance broadband have good upload speed which gives near 1 mbps upload speed.

Suggest me a wireless broadband which gives me good upload speed. And also it should be unlimited. 3G and MTS like EVDO services are not unlimited and they are too much expensive.

 

I only had seen a video on YouTube of Reliance WiMax which gives more than 1 mbps upload speed. But only one video which is not sufficient for trusting.

What I need only good upload speed.

Creating this thread as I couldn't find one.

 

My second purchase from Lenskart.  Had ordered prescription glasses.  The whole experience was smooth as the the first one.  Placed the order on 18th December and got the delivery today (took longer than usual maybe due to GOSF).  Quality is pretty good.  Costed me 3.3 grands (after using 1000 reward points).

Fernando Alonso News and Updates

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 09:33 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."

Formula-1 News and Updates

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.

So, I started watching this because the second season of Six Feet Under turned out to be corrupted. Liking it so far. There are a few issues though…

The characters are pretty similar to the SG-1 team. John Sheppard is an exact duplicate of Jack O'Neill for example.

I have not reached the stage where the character of Ronon Dex joins them. And I am seriously not looking forward to Samantha Carter replacing Elizabeth Weir as I have heard she does (not sure though).

I also see that Jewel Staite would be joining the cast as well. That should be nice. She was in Firefly!

A lot of episodes have similar stories to SG-1. The concept is also on the similar lines. Some shit happens and things are not looking good but everything magically fix up in the last 2 minutes of the episode. Most of the stories are independent in nature just like SG-1. Few stories are divided into two episodes.



Also this:

Actor that plays Simon, Elizabeth Weir's husband is the same actor that played Narim of the Tollan in SG-1 :D Especially funny considering Weir was in SG-1 too for a few episodes.
