Very Disappointed with ACT, 8 days No connection yet

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 02:50 AM PST

I had applied for a new connection on 18th Dec. I had given an advance of Rs. 7410 in cash to Murthy (employee id - 1667) with necessary documents. He promised me a connection with 3-4 days and maximum 7 days.

Nobody has contacted me after that day, neither have i have been given a customer id or a ticket number. I called the customer service on 4284 0000 multiple times, 4-5 times who haven't done anything. They just tell, they will forward the complaint to the concerned department and yet after that nothing has happened nor anyone has contacted me.

 

I have lost my patience you people. I could have gotten a connection from another ISP by now. After this ordeal and begging ACT to give me a connection, i will not suggest act to any of my friends or family.

TCL Idol X+

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 02:16 AM PST

 

As the name suggests, the Idol X+ is pretty much an updated version of the already impressive Idol X, with the highlight being it's the first device to carry the 2GHz bin of the octa-core MT6592 SoC (with 2GB RAM). Additionally, you'll find a familiar 5-inch 1080p IPS display within a slimmer 1.9mm bezel, plus a 13-megapixel f/2.0 camera on the back.
For a flagship Android phone that costs just CN¥1,999 or about US$330 unsubsidized, it's pretty bold of TCL to also include a Bluetooth activity plus sleep tracker.

Nextra Fiber Broadband Review

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 01:38 AM PST

This is a short review of Nextra fiber to the home (ftth) broadband for anyone else wondering whether they should take the plunge. 
I had earlier thought to wait for a week and then post but seeing how i had time on my hands and how stable and smooth everything is going I am doing it now, will post any negative developments here if they do occur.
 
Minimum speed offered is a fast 10mbps, i have subscribed to 10mbps 80GB FUP @ 1899 as going further up was mostly a waste for me with just 5 internet sharing devices, with most of the heavy lifting being done by the desktop. 
An awesome difference from adsl is upload and download speeds are nearly the same..
 
Post FUP is a manageable 512kbps up and down...something i griped about a lot with airtel with its 256kbps. 
A minor detail is that the fup data is calculated on a prorated basis-Even though i subscribed on the 30th, my billing cycle is 20/19 and the data in my balance was 53.xxGB and not 80 which was to be used till the 19th. 
There would also probably be monthly fluctuation for the 30/31/28 days (unlike airtel with constant 80GB).
 
I was on airtel bb for the last 5 years with speeds progressing from 256kbps to 512 to 2mbps to the final 4mbps (when 8mbps suddenly became feasible for my area faced with competition from nextra) for the last month of its usage.
Airtel was much better than what i had been used to before, but with its own often deeply irritating flaws and crappy experiences. It will not be missed :tongue:.
 
Installation
 
Fiber had already been installed upto my house leading upto an ericsson modem which has outputs to a lot of stuff, the society intercom being one of them.
 
Installation was just a matter of connecting the ethernet cable to my own WiFi router, registering this router's MAC with nextra (something that needs to be done again if you change your router), and setting the internet connection mode to DHCP.
The tech exec was quick to show up and the connection was up and running within 18 hours of document collection.
 
You immediately receive a password for the nextraworld website on your registered mobile number.
 
Initial Issues
 
Websites sometimes would fail to load and show up as a blank page instead, a deeply irritating issue which will scare you to make any sort of financial transactions with the connection (even though i know there are safeguards in place). 
The exec was helpful enough to troubleshoot and gave an assurance it will be fixed within the day. Posted about this on another thread.
 
The issue seemed to originate with nextra's banner ad injection on webpages sometimes. It was being used to show the customer promotional offers and other information for the connection. Something that I did not like one bit.
 
Called up the cust care, the operator was quick to understand my problem and did not deny the practice or give any mindless reason like malware. Assured that it would be forwarded to the backend and be deactivated.
 
Sure enough I received a call from the backend from a well spoken exec and he confirmed my request for disabling this 'feature' a final time and that was the last I saw any injections or that issue of websites not loading.
 
It has been smooth sailing ever since.
 
General usage
 
Pings
 
I am not an online gamer, I am content with single player mode Dirt 3 :tongue: so pings are not a very big issue for me. 
 
They are better than airtel, unlike what i stated before in another thread when i hadn't tested so thoroughly.
 
Below are some comparative shots for a general idea-
 
87310429.png  87310372.png
 
87310532.png  87310506.png
 
87310561.png  87310602.png
 
87310723.png  87310654.png
 
Speeds
 
Speed is not very noticeable for lighter websites, though 1080p youtube now plays effortlessly and switches seamlessly to this mode and bitmeter reports full 10mbps when doing so. Something that is very important for me and that rarely happened with airtel.
 
A 1080p youtube screenshot with bitmeter graph.
 
yt_zps5a2a5bbe.png
 
Uploading is a similar story, dropbox uploads are speedy as well using nearly all of the bandwidth.
Torrents from IPT yield full speed of 1.1 to 1.2MBps which i use a lot for tv shows (I don't abide by copyright laws for them :tongue:).
 
Capture_zpsa06d04e6.png
 
3009123699.png
 
Stability
 
The connection is stable as ever but can only comment on this after some time. 
I have the modem and router hooked up to an APC home UPS i had lying around uselessly to avoid a disconnect in the time it takes for the society gensets to kick in. 
However, I have yet to see its results, the airtel connection would not drop with this setup, not so sure about fiber.
 
Despite the earlier hiccups nextra did live up to my expectations. Airtel was very cooperative for a change for registering my disconnection request, and it would be done so within the week. Adios airtel.
 
Bottom line: I can never go back to adsl again!

This news was mildly amusing

A government-imposed ceiling on the price of condoms in India has come into effect in which they have been included in a list of "essential medicines".

The maximum price of a condom has been set at 6.56 rupees (11 cents; 6 pence).

But manufacturers of more expensive "luxury" condom brands have criticised the move saying it will have a negative impact on population-control measures.

Suggest me a broadband plan .

Posted: 26 Dec 2013 12:19 AM PST

Hi all , 
Currently I am using BSNL and I am on ULD 950 Plan ( 4mbps till 8 gb post 512kbps FUP) . 
I am from Jabalpur MP . Here only few ISP's are available . 


1. BSNL 
2. Airtel 
3. Tikona 

I am on BSNL and Tikona's network is not available in my locality . I want to opt for Airtel if these conditions gets satisfied :

1. Ping < 60 [ I play CS online and Pings are important ]
2. Support and Stability is criteria . 
3. Unlimited plan .


In 950 rs I get 8gb at 4mbps which gets consumed within first week and the rest 20 days sucks at 512kbps . Even 360P videos are not stream able , forget about downloading movies :\ .

My monthly budget is Rs 1000 max . 

So Airtel users I need your help , 
Kindly help me in following issues : 

1. Does airtel provides good ping ? 
2. What speed you get , I mean according to plan or any fluctuations ? 
3. Which plan you are on and it will be great if you post a speed test result with Mumbai ( Vodafone/ Joister ) preferred. 

Apart from this kindly suggest me a good unlimited plan for home use . I surfed the website but the plans are not as per my city . 
Any plan with 2/4mbps available with good FUP ? 


Please suggest and reply with your precious  comments regarding above criterion . 

Kind regards 
Nikhil .

Micromax A77 Canvas Juice

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 11:21 PM PST

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/micromax-a77-canvas-juice-with-android-42-listed-online-at-rs-7999-450554

 

 

 

Micromax has quietly introduced its latest phablet, A77 Canvas Juice, via an ecommerce website. The Micromax A77 Canvas Juice is now listed on HomeShop18 at Rs. 7,999. However, the smartphone is out of stock, at the time of writing this post.

The Micromax A77 Canvas Juice runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and is a dual-SIM phablet with support for GSM+GSM lines and dual standby. It features a 5-inch FWVGA display with 480x854 pixels resolution. The phablet is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core processor along with 1GB of RAM.

 

 

It sports a 5-megapixel autofocus rear camera accompanied by an LED flash and also includes a VGA front-facing camera. It comes with 4GB inbuilt storage, which can be expanded up to 32GB with the help of a microSD card. The Micromax A77 Canvas Juice packs a 3000mAh battery which, as per the online retailer's listing, can deliver up to 10 hours of talktime and up to 250 hours standby time. Connectivity options on the phablet include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE, GPS/ AGPS and 3G. The Canvas Juice measures 150.5x76.2x10.2mm and weighs about 100 grams.

 

At around 8k, looks a decent purchase. 

24 (Anil Kapoor Version)

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 11:20 PM PST

One of my best TV series of all time becoming desi!

Colors, Anil Kapoor ink deal to broadcast '24' in India > afaqs! news & features

Anil kapoor, please do some justice with Jack Bauer.

I also read something about cast: Chunky Pandey is in it :D

As for the cast and crew, Kapoor has promised the channel that there will be no known names on the show. However, word is that Ronit Roy, Atul Kulkarni, Chunky Pandey and Vidyut Jamwar will essay some of the lead roles. And, as we already know, Kapoor will play the main protagonist, anti-terror squad leader Jack Bauer, essayed by his favourite actor Keifer Sutherland in the original version. What's more? Abhinao Deo of Delhi Belly fame will direct the show. One wonders though, who will play the middle-eastern leader Omar Hassan, the role bagged by Kapoor in the American series...

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.

Jacques Kallis to retire at the end of current series against India

Posted: 25 Dec 2013 10:04 PM PST

South Africa Cricket News: Jacques Kallis to retire after Durban Test | ESPN Cricinfo
 

Jacques Kallis, one of the game's greatest allrounders, will retire from Test cricket after the Boxing Day match against India. Kallis announced his decision on Wednesday, on the eve of the second Test against India, but stated that he would still like to play the 2015 World Cup for South Africa.
In a statement, Kallis said: "It wasn't an easy decision, with Australia around the corner and the success this team is enjoying, but I feel the time is right. I don't see it as goodbye, I still have a lot of hunger to push South Africa to that World Cup in 2015 if I am fit and performing. The last two years specifically have been a memorable journey with an exceptional group of cricketers. I am fortunate enough to have ended my Test career amongst a group of talented cricketers but, more importantly, friends whom I will cherish for years to come."

Disappointed even before I get the connection

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
