NetFire.co.in - Broad Band Urapakkam - Scam - Nungambakkam

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 02:13 AM PDT

Hi,

 

I make this post to get people aware that they are scamming people. I have the following info and not recommend any one to use and get in trouble.

 

Here the story starts.

 

I moved to urapakkam 8 months back and looking for new connection in my area and I cant find anyone with feasibility. When i google i got a local provider and find out "Netfire"

 

And I just called them on December to get a connection with them even after reading a lot of bad reviews. They answered me that they will start to give connection from "Jan 10"

 

Then I called them back on  "Jan 12" and ask them with the highest plan and to make connection asap. They said tomorrow and then tomorrow i called they said tomorrow and it keep goes on. Then I looked for review and found that they are just cheating members by giving temp connection and then it will get disconnected in 10 days and then no one will provide support.

 

If i get connection and if i get in trouble what to do if no one picks my call ? So I looked for their address and then decided to go in personal to the following one as per the site details.

 

"Phone : t8122151312

No 5 B, Near Kolachi Amman Kovil Kilambakkam, Kolachi Amman Kovil Street, Urapakkam, Kanchipuram - 603210"

 

It is just 2 km from my home and then I keep looking for the address and found that there is no such address exist in that area. I just asked the shop over there and found that many people have asked the same address to them and they dont know what it is.

 

And then decided to call them on Jan 16th and the call keep getting forward to some number and it dropped without ringing and then again i tried in afternoon and i found it keep ringing and i tried calling many time and then person made it to divert again.

 

And i called next day and asked there is no such adress exist and they said they shifted to new address and i asked them to send to go and visit in real.

 

They texted me new address which is also a fake one thought that i wont visit it as it is 40km away. 

 

Proof of address : http://prntscr.com/2mng4g

 

And I go over there and found that it was a small shop which sells cigarettes and peedis. And they are not aware of what netfire is.

 

I called them again and they didnt picked and they picked atlast and said they have closed the shop and gone for client visit and i said them that there is no such shop exist they said me that.

 

It was the address sent by the customer support of netfire and i asked them can you give me the number . They said customer support wont pick up the call. And I asked them where are you guys now ?

 

They said they were in Urapakkam and I asked shall we meet they said no we have to leave now. I said them that I can send my friend they said they cant.

 

Finally what ? They never called me back for new connection as i have found they are duping people with fake address and fake connection.

 

I make this post to make people aware of Urapakkam and near by areas to not get scammed by them as they are fake and using the demand of broad band in this area.

 

If you not decided to trust me . Ask the address and go and get a personal visit and then get a new connection.

 

 

Phone in 10k range

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 02:01 AM PDT

My first suggestion was to get the Moto G. But the person is not so tech-savvy, and wants some 4-5 options to choose from including atleast one Windows one. As other factors like looks may also make a difference (Even the OS feel). "Brand" is not a must but another one option in that category would be nice.

 

Budget is 10K. Maybe 1k more. Thats another reason why Moto G is sort of kept as "will be considered" than a sure shot by him.

 

Anyone using Asus router N56u and above?

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 01:51 AM PDT

Asus has added vpn client feature in its stock firmware asuswrt. It aims at eliminating the need for dd-wrt for adding vpn client support on the router. I would like to know the performance of this feature from people using Asus routers. Please note it is available from firmware version 3.0.0.4.374.2050 onwards.

Netfire Broadband

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 01:51 AM PDT

i work for IT park near vandalur. Recently we shifted from kodabakkam to West Tambaram. We are in need of broadband connection for office work. We cant find any service provider. Few weeks back we found an no parking on our gate stating 'Netfire Broadband'. It's new service provider. We got installed for 10MBPS. The good part of netfire is the download and upload speed. We goth both upload and download as 10MBPS. We cant find these download and upload speed on any other service provider. The sevice is very good.If your looking for good speed and good service my suggestion is Netfire

The Offtopic Thread

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 01:05 AM PDT

Hi friends i am jjvj.. .. Admin has given me 2 days leave .. and said this...
so i have to come with new id.. which is TEMPORARY.
You have been banned for the following reason:
admin sees everything...
Date the ban will be lifted: 1st November 2007, 10:30 PM


just have a look at that REASON.... they say they see everything.. what the hell were u doing when the fake ids were roaming..

i think u had mentioned the reason as i posted in 1 thread that " admin wont see anything" and i have valid point for that too.. as you were not checking who is posting what and also there were double threads on same topics........

this is disgusting and most bad part of IBF i have ever faced.. now i am fedup with the ADMIN not with any members ....... this is the bad thing i had seen upto now.... every other member can use any languages and insult , fight and still get away but i have been stopped from posting for 2 days........

but now i will show my messages..

I have opted out of IBF for the following reason:
admin sees everything... but is waste, just bans one who does not anything bad.
Date the ban will be lifted: 1st November 2007, 10:30 PM
Date of my return....... NEVER to IBF


good bye and enjoy with fakes...... you dont deserve useful posts..

i am not working here for any salary or so.. so there is no point of me being banned and wait for time to complete and then start posting...... I was just sharing info and having fun along with others..

Windows 8.1 Update

Posted: 10 Apr 2014 12:42 AM PDT

What to Expect (And What We Want) From Windows Blue
 

 

More tile sizes: If Windows Phone can support three tile sizes (small, medium and large), then Windows 8 should absolutely support them, too. The tiles are much larger on Windows 8, so smaller sizes would be easy to tap with a fat finger. It will also make for a more personalized Start Screen, which the Windows 8 Modern UI is all about.

Updated Mail: The Windows 8 Mail app needs some extra power. Simplicity is great, but some basic additions would help it be a more useful tool. Microsoft should add support for POP3 accounts and incorporate features available in Outlook.com like drag and drop. A report from ZDNet suggests that this might come prior to the Windows Blue update.

Ability to use multiple browsers in Modern UI: This is a small request, but it addresses what can become a major annoyance in Windows 8 if you ever use more than one browser. Right now, even if a browser is available as a Windows 8 app, it will only work in the Modern UI environment if it is set as your default browser. If it's not your default browser, then it will open in the desktop. That goes for the built-in IE10 browser and other offerings like Google Chrome.

Boot to desktop: This is one of the most common Windows 8 demands, especially for business users. It should definitely be an option for Windows 8 Pro users, who do most of their work in the desktop environment. It's thoughtful and will make a large number of users happy without much work. But it should absolutely not be an option for Windows RT, where the opposite should be true.

Make it possible to manage everything in Modern UI: Alternatively, if you want to stay in the Modern UI 100 percent of the time, Microsoft should let you stay there 100 percent of the time. Especially since the Modern UI is the future of Windows. Microsoft should have the Task Manager, Windows Explorer and Control Panel available as Modern UI apps. You should be able to change your screen resolution and manage your files without being forced to the desktop.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Posted: 09 Apr 2014 10:57 PM PDT

Following in the footsteps of the record-breaking Marvel Studios' release, "Marvel's The Avengers," production on the highly anticipated release, Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" has commenced in Los Angeles, California, with production also including locations in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington D.C. Directing the film is the team of Anthony and Joe Russo ("Welcome to Collinwood") from a screenplay written by Christopher Markus ("Captain America: The First Avenger") & Stephen McFeely ("Captain America: The First Avenger"). "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" returns Chris Evans ("Captain America: The First Avenger," "Marvel's The Avengers") as the iconic super hero character Steve Rogers/Captain America, along with Scarlett Johansson ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Iron Man 2") as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson ("Marvel's The Avengers," "Iron Man 2") as Nick Fury. In addition, film icon Robert Redford has joined the all-star cast as Agent Alexander Pierce, a senior leader within the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is set for release in the U.S. on April 4, 2014.
 

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" will pick-up where "Marvel's The Avengers" left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.

Considering an ADSL Modem Replacement by MTNL? Which one?

Considering an ADSL Modem Replacement by MTNL? Which one?

Board ID: 96338W2
Software Version: 3.12.01.SI.0B.06_0949_062609
Bootloader (CFE) Version: 1.0.37-12.1
Firmware Version: DNA-A212-0001.01
Hardware Version: DNA-A212 1.2
Model Name: DNA-A212
Wireless Driver Version: 4.174.64.19.cpe1.0sd


It gets quite hot and also been having issues with lots of disconnections.. So considering having it replaced..by MTNL. What do you recommend?
[ PS: Not really planning to buy my own because then MTNL blames the equipment for any issues.. Unless you convince me otherwise]

I also have a Netgear (used prev with my Tata DSL) and Airlink (bought in the US) wireless router currently not connected as they were before .

-Which Modem Wired and/ or Wireless do you have thats been working well?
- Which one would you recommend?

I have a 24 port Gigabit Switch attached to the Router as well which takes Gigabit signal to each room. A fast little local LAN.
Should I use the Modem purely as modem and use my own Wireless Router for DHCP & Static assignments on my LAN etc?
