ACT Broadband rethink

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 03:09 AM PDT

Hi guys,

 

I had heard some great reviews from my friends about ACT broadband, so I had almost decided to switch to ACT ( was about cancel my existing service). But after reading the reviews here and elsewhere I must rethink.I live in Girinagar,Bangalore .

My existing connection is slow but atleast its reliable , what I dont want is fast connection which is not reliable. From the reviews read it appears that this is what ACT gives, which is a deal breaker for me. 

And apparently the speeds of websites hosted outside india are pretty bad ...so mostly I have to rethink for sure .

Prithvi UE100 with Tp Link TL-MR3220 3G/4G router

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 01:35 AM PDT

Bought this MR3220 router from snapdeal for 1497rs to use with my bsnl evdo prithvi modem.

Total disappointment :sad: :sad: :sad:

 

Configuring with the datacard was hassle free but the internet connection speed has significant drop when connected to router even when the signal strength is shown as 83%.

Internet speed is fine when i connect the evdo datacard directly to computer using extension cable(60 -80KB/s and sometimes above 100KB/s).stable 3bar signal and -84dbm

Also it refuses to get connected when i connect the evdo datacard to router using a small usb extension cable.

 

Tried contacting tp link through mail and their toll free no...no response :mad (): :mad (): :mad (): :mad (): :mad ():

 

it was loaded with the latest firmware 130423 and i downgraded it to 130326 now there is a slight improvement still not good enough :question:

 

any suggestion ..help????

Applied for a new connection - Aundh, Pune

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 01:12 AM PDT

I had applied for a new reliance broadband connection (to get the Thunder 1099 plan) on 24th March, 2014 in Aundh, Pune. I was told that service is available in my area and a sales representative will come in 2-3 days.

 

As expected, no one called or showed up. I have called customer care for 4-5 times now (after every 5 days or so) and every single time they had the same reply - "We are extremely sorry, we have forwarded your request as urgent to the sales department and a representative would come to you in 2 days".

 

This shows the pathetic service of reliance communication, even in a city like Pune. I dare not imagine what the situation would be in other places. 

 

I never imagined that there would be any company in the world that would not want new customers. But, i think i have found the one and only company.

 

Anyways, i have complained to the nodal officer today. Lets see, if that helps.

 

I started this post to inform everyone about the problems i faced and will face to get a new connection (if Reliance wants to give one).

Hello,

My parents have recently shifted from Anna nagar to Ambattur in Chennai. They earlier had a BSNL broadband connection. However, BSNL claims to have no feasibility for new connections in the area. Does anyone know of any reliable ISP provider in this area ?

BJP might field Kiran Bedi as their CM candidate in Delhi reelections (Nope)

Kiran Bedi to be Delhi CM candidate, tweets Gadkari - The Times of India 

A tweet by former BJP chief and party in charge of Delhi Nitin Gadkari saying "Dilli chunav ke liye BJP taiyyar, Kejriwal ke mukable Kiran Bedi hongi CM candidate (BJP ready for Delhi polls, Kiran Bedi will be CM candidate against Kejriwal)" caused a flutter in party circles on Tuesday, with leaders and spokespersons distancing themselves from the comment.


This would be super interesting. I wonder what Dr. Vardhan feels about it.

Microsoft Cortana

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 04:19 PM PDT

http://goo.gl/yL1WIo

 

 

 

Back in June, screen shots of an early Windows Phone operating system build leaked (via a Lumia phone allegedly purchased on eBay). At that time, next-to-no attention was paid to an app, listed as "zCortana," that was on the phone.

halocortana But that Cortana app (with the "z" indicating it was a test build) is central to what Microsoft is doing to compete with Apple's Siri and Google Now. And Cortana is back in the news this week with passing mentions by those tracking what's happening with Windows Phone as it moves toward the "Blue" release in the early part of 2014.

Cortana takes its codename from Cortana, an artifically intelligent character in Microsoft's Halo series who can learn and adapt.

Cortana, Microsoft's assistant technology, likewise will be able to learn and adapt, relying on machine-learning technology and the "Satori" knowledge repository powering Bing.

Cortana will be more than just an app that lets users interact with their phones more naturally using voice commands. Cortana is core to the makeover of the entire "shell" -- the core services and experience -- of the future versions of Windows Phone, Windows and the Xbox One operating systems, from what I've heard from my contacts.

24: Live Another Day

Posted: 16 Apr 2014 04:07 PM PDT

 

24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a thrilling new event series set to restart the ticking clock on the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama. The high-octane saga reunites the Emmy Award-winning team of executive producer Howard Gordon; star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland; co-creator Robert Cochran; executive producers, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Brian Grazer and director Jon Cassar. It also will retain the real-time, pulse-pounding, fast-paced format with split screens and interweaving storylines. Set and shot in London, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent JACK BAUER (Sutherland). Four years ago, Jack was a fugitive from justice. Now an exile, he nevertheless is willing to risk his life and freedom to avert yet another global disaster. Tracking Jack are CIA head STEVE HARRIS (Benjamin Bratt, "Law & Order"); CIA agent KATE MORGAN (Yvonne Strahovski, "Dexter"), who is both resourceful and ruthless; JORDAN REED (Giles Matthey, "Jobs"), a smart and sophisticated CIA computer tech; and ERIK RITTER (Gbenga Akinnagbe, "The Wire"), a sharp, strong and arrogant field operative. Calling the shots is JAMES HELLER (William Devane, "The Dark Knight Rises"), now President of the United States. Heller is flanked by his Chief of Staff MARK BOUDREAU (Tate Donovan, "Damages"), who is married to Heller's daughter -- Jack's former flame, AUDREY (Kim Raver, "Revolution"). Meanwhile, a hardened CHLOE O'BRIAN (Mary Lynn Rajskub, "Firewall"), Bauer's CTU confidante, is now working underground with high-profile hacker ADRIAN CROSS (Michael Wincott, "The Crow"). Guest stars on 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY include Golden Globe Award winner Judy Davis ("Life with Judy Garland") and Golden Globe Award nominee Stephen Fry ("Alice in Wonderland," BONES). The harrowing day will have Jack attempting to thwart an unthinkable terrorist attack that could change the world forever.
