Using 2 services on same cable ?

Posted: 30 Apr 2014 01:25 AM PDT

Hello

Im currently mtnl user , i have 650 unlimited plan , of course normal internet connection through rj 11 cable with landline (i have own wifi router TPlink having only rj11 slot) , now i have got a new local isp , he is giving 5mbps unlimited @ 850 rs per month , he provides connection through rj 11 too , so can i use both on same telephone line ? ( a single telephone line comes to my house from telephone box below , from it i use mtnl landline and mtnl broadband ) , can i use mtnl landline and local isp broadband from same line ? (i feel no , but no idea , in any case i dont want to disconnect mtnl landline )

Thank you

Do you like summer or winter?

Posted: 30 Apr 2014 12:25 AM PDT

Nothing makes my life hellish than summer. Powercuts,sweltering heat ,cannot go outside during day time, cant enjoy food, etc.

I have seen virtually all kinds of weather and biomes except snow.

I wish i would settle in a place in future which has snowfall.

So do you like summer with temps over 45 C or winter with min temps near 0.

ps: not to be regionalist but only northerners know what real winter is so please dont skew the poll. If your place does not experience 0-10C winter temp then reply the other options

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

Gurgaon Sector 46 - What are my options?

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:49 PM PDT

Looks like I've made a terrible move by Shifting to this place. Had this Reliance Thunder 699 plan while I was at Sector 10A but now I am not even finding a single ISP except the dreaded Tikona.

Can anyone suggest me some option? I am living a tough life without the Internet here.

Also if possible, suggest me some 3G option for the time being.

TIKONA broadband advice

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:44 PM PDT

i am a hathway banglore user(a very happy one) but now i am changing apartment(bommanahalli) and dont have hathway,act you or anything except airtel or bsnl which r too much above my budget with pathetic FUP's

so only solution is tikona(yeah even after reading all the scary reviews....but fate is a b****)

so how is tikona internet??

my questions r

in hathway i have a login which is pain in bottom but it can be done through my mobile or any device...does tikona has something like that login

also...how many devices can i connect wirelessly...right now i am connecting a pc through lan and 4 other wirelessly....does tikona block multiple devices??

how is the ping and netspeed (i am a online gamer and need good ping)

last but not least how is the service and connection drops??if it rains or is cloudy then will the internet stop or pathetically slow down??

i connect my hathway cable modem to a wireless router and connect all other devices does tikona give a wireless router which can do that or they give only wired one with a single rj45 port??

thanks

ACT broadband worst service

Posted: 29 Apr 2014 09:19 PM PDT

Hi I have used ACT Broadband and my experience has been pathetic!!! I am surprised how ppl in blore still manage to give such wonderful feedback!!! First of all , marketing guy Manjunath cheated me saying its a post-paid connection and collected deposit with advance rental...... within 5 days i am asked to pay again for next month!!! I am surprised and checked with cust care to find that ACT doesn't provide post paid .For having paid Rs 2000 as deposit continued with connection.... ACT bb cust care experience has been horrible....I was unable to make online payment and I raised 22 complaints with a week ,but problem never solved....I paid thru cheque with additional Rs 50 as collection charges,,,,, I had issues of disconnection and slow speed for 5-10 within 1st month of using ACT bb ...my complaint used to be closed without my knowledge and problem still open!!! Finally not even my single complaint was addressed properly...well i reached out nodal officer Hari prasad.... he is as use less as cust care!! I decided finally to call it quits and asked ACT to cancel my connection...well ACT made a big mess of it!!! Which ISP provider charges for disconnection???? I paid my outstanding thru cheque as my online account was never activated!!! but even after cancelling my account ACT has not returned my deposit nor cancelled my connection!! I still get bills for Jan ,Feb 2014 ,when connection is closed in December 2013..... I am a genuine reviewer and my account number with ACT bb was 412315 Also ,names of sales exec and nodal officer is real!!! So its to u decide if ACT is really what it claims to be!!! This may be one off case or one of many cases ,but their arrogance shows!!! ACT is Harassment @ HIGH speed!!!!
