MTNL Broadband disconnection

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 02:45 AM PST

Hi all,

For at least the past eight months I've had increasing problems with my MTNL line and Triband connection in Bandra W, Mumbai. Persistent problems include crackly landline, slow internet speed and frequent disconnection (ADSL light flashes then internet reconnects after a few minutes). Using the 198 complaint service is useless - the problem never get fixed yet their system gets updated as issue resolved despite me telling the operator that calls "No, not fixed!". Last week, an MTNL technician came (for the n'th time) to fix my crackly landline. He cut the external wire (without informing me beforehand - I was on the net!); after some time my internet connection disconnected and would not reconnect: first, the PPPoE light would not come on, then the ADSL light would not come on. Occasionally, all modem lights would come on but internet pages would not open.

After months of reporting complaints about these persistent problems, visiting the exchange and emailing the DGM (who never responded) I eventually managed to get a visit from FOUR MTNL engineers. They insisted that the line was fine and that the problem was with my modem (I had bought a new landline months before because I was told THAT was the problem), so I replaced my modem (from a D-Link GLB-502T to a DSL 2520U). The first day the engineers came, they  spent a few hours apparently checking and "fixing the line". Then they messed around with my modem, made a few phone calls, prodded around on my laptop and eventually told me that the line is working perfectly from Prabhadevi to Bandra Reclamation, to my area and that, 100% the problem is with my modem. I replaced this with the DSL 2520 and configured it the same day. Still no connection (laptop connection to WiFi fine but no connection to internet). I called D-Link and we went through all the diagnostics but could still not establish a connection. The D-Link support guy concluded that the problem was either my MTNL username or password, or a (dreaded) line problem. I managed to get one of the MTNL engineers back the next afternoon. After an hour of messing around and more phone calls, he got it connected. He said that my username and password had (somehow?) been changed and was now reset. He left with the thing working. But...

It didn't take long before the modem disconnected then reconnected! This continues to date. It seems to be worse in the morning and early evening (but can happen any time), during which it can disconnect on average every 5-10 minutes over 2-3 hours. Really frustrating as I still don't know what is causing it. If I had the time, I'd pay the dgm a personal visit - I don't know what else to do. Here's are my current ISP stats (while gathering them, my internet connection disconnected and reconnected 4 times in 5 minutes!!!!):

                                   Downstream           Upstream
Rate                             2047kbps             1021kbps
SNR Margin:                    28.2                       6.6
Attenuation                      34.2                      21.4
Output power                  17.2                      10.2

Superframes
RS correctable errors       36                      457
RS uncorrectable errors    0                       159

If anyone could interpret these data for me, give me any ideas about possible causes of these disconnections and potential solutions, I'd be really grateful. Could there be an interference problem that might be solved using an ADSL filter? Can you but them here? How does one effectively deal with the awful customer service given by such organizations?

Thanks very much.

MTNL Broadband: 8mbps Plans

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 02:35 AM PST

MTNL seems to have started new 8Mbps plans recently, dint see any thread discussing about it here.

 

Here is the link 8Mbps Plan - MTNL Mumbai

Anybody tried booking these plans.

Spectranet FOX

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 02:24 AM PST

recently i got this spectranet connection. They did underground fiber optic cabling and started the service called spectranet FOX in my area. the plan is 12 to 16 mbps  for 6 months. looking at the speeds they will provide, i got my airtel BB service discontinued.

 

I AM HIGHLY DISSATISFIED WITH THE CONNECTION.

 

 1) promised speeds 12-16 mbps ,you never get the promised speeds throughout the day. even right now i am getting just 3-5 mbps.

     why do ISPs do this? come on! if you dont want to give constant speeds then why the hell do you have to make false promises?

when they visit your home for a demonstration, such good marketing skills, overselling their product, promising this and that. 

but when it comes to the connection, its very poor.

 

2) its a daily glitch in the connection. from timings 9 pm to 12 pm i always get very low speeds like 1 mbps and very high pings touching 200 ms. i've got to play online games , but with such a pathetic ping im not able to play the games properly. and this is very irritating!

and this happens everyday

 

3) when i had the airtel connection i used to watch alot of youtube, surf internet and the data limit was 8 gb. with these activities not even half of my data limit was used, and around 4-5 gb was left unused per month.seldom, i used to download movies because once the data limit was reached, then speed degraded to 256kpbs(reason to change spectranet ISP). using this connection, in last 1 week the 5 gb of data usage has been shown in my spectranet account(5gb data volume used)

i myself have downloaded around 700mb of data THAT'S IT! i can accept even if i had watched 1080p HD videos on youtube, i could accept that i could've consumed data but still cant find what has used 5gb. if it could've been a theft over wi-fi, but whenever i am at home i connect through LAN cable and switch of the wifi service and whenever im not at home i switch off the router. then how come 5 gb of data has been consumed?! and i cant buy this fact that ONLY net surfing at watching videos on youtube would've consumed so much of data. i really find that spectranet is a cheat on this part. 

 

if someone using the same net plans from spectranet and facing the same issues please reply and put forward some solutions to my problem, so as how to get the promised service from my ISP.

 

 

 

Best option for 3g dongle in Gurgaon?

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 02:21 AM PST

Guys,

Are there any non wired options (aka 3g dongles) which have high speeds with 30gb downloads or more?

 

Apparently it's touch to get broadband where I am (Phase 2) and I'll need 3g dongle. Price doesn't matter as long as it's below 2.5k (give or take 500), just what can I do?

 

Best and fastest? (I have tata photon from work and it's absolutely rubbish here, do not even recommend tata please).

 

For wired broadband, Airtel put the phone down once I give my address (wtf.. how crap is their customer service), youbroadband say they can put it in my house (it's like a homestay with 6 other rooms in building). Any suggestions from wise minds here?

 

Thanks!

Cheater Idea

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 02:11 AM PST

On 14 Feb there was special offer of Internet. 1.5 GB 2G data for 30 days for Rs. 99 only. So I recharge with the same. but cheater IDea given me only 450 MB 2G data for 15 days.

 

So  I have lodged complaint about data benefit which was not given.

But today I got sms mentioning that my complaint is cancelled.

Idea  cancel the complaint without providing any solution. I have talked to customer care executive, he said system is slow and he can't give reason why complaint is cancelled blah blah blah.
Even after talking & explaining the matter with customer care Supervisor  (she keeps me waiting for 23 minutes & then disconnect the phone). Now I am not able to dial 198 as Idea barred my number from calling,

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT IDEA PROVIDING? IS THIS THE WAY IDEA TREATS CUSTOMERS?

 

Please suggest me the future course of action for the matter.

 

thnx

Funny Videos, Images and Jokes

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

Router Login + DNS issues

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 01:58 AM PST

I've had a VDSL connection for around a month, and about 10 days ago it stopped working, unless I manually set DNS to 59.185.3.10, 59.185.3.11 on my devices. 2 phones in the house don't allow manual settings. I was told to check DHCP settings in the modem, but the MTNL guys had changed the default login (admin, admin - on Alphion ARGT-1040) so I have no way of checking/altering anything.

 

What should I do? If I reset the modem, all settings will be lost and the MTNL people in my area seem to be clueless when it comes to VDSL.

Posted: 20 Feb 2014 01:09 AM PST

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

Lenovo: Flipkart & Snapdeal are not our authorized resellers

Posted: 19 Feb 2014 11:57 PM PST

I know this has been mentioned in another thread. Just started a new one for the topic.

Flipkart, Snapdeal not our authorized resellers: Lenovo - Livemint
 

"What we have noticed in the past few months is that some of these sites, and largely due to a marketplace kind of a set up, there are a lot of resellers that have cropped up, which are selling at very low predatory prices. These we believe may or may not be an authorized or genuine products," said Sudhin Mathur, director (smartphones), Lenovo India.
He added that the company has issued an advisory with a list of all authorized stores and genuine partners. "E-commerce websites like Snapdeal, Flipkart and Amazon.in are not authorized Lenovo resellers. We encourage you to check your warranty entitlements when you buy from these websites," Lenovo said in the advisory on its website.
