Queries Before Taking BSNL 3G?

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 02:12 AM PST

I have purchased a Prepaid 3G SIM of BSNL today. I think both prepaid and postpaid are equally priced. The 500 MB plan costs Rs.275/- in prepaid and Rs.249/- + service taxes in postpaid(SOURCE).

Now waiting for SIM to be get activated. What should I do after that? The franchisee of BSNL told me that I have to buy a FRC after activation. What is FRC? Can anyone tell me how long it will take SIM to get activated?

Actually I am little bit confused between these two pages:

3G Postpaid and Prepaid Data Service

FRCs offered under 3G Services

Lastly Will I get any special offer after I activate the 3G service as a new user?

The franchisee also told me that BSNL 3G card(Micromax) he has been selling can be used with any other 3G service provider. The card costs Rs.2,500/- and has 7.2 MBPS Download Speed.

BSNL 3g PPP link control protocol was terminated ?

You can try adjusting the stereo balance control all the way to Left or to Right to check whether the volume is getting normalized on all the channels.
I usually set my TV volume at 30 units and TS + STB volume at 3 units. This works fine for almost all channels. However, while switching channels, the STB volume goes up to 10-12 on its own. When I reduce it to 0 and increase to 3, it gives same volume as it used to give while it was at 12! This happens when I switch from non-HD channel to HD channel.

A wifi model New )was quoted in ebay.in for Rs 1300/= same model. BSNL cost Rs 1800/=

I was charged Rs 1100/= for Huawei Ax Mt882 when i opted for outright purchase with 50% concession on rental paid for almost three years.
I had the option to change the unit if not working at any time.
Since you purchased outright the facility will be for 6 months or one year.

Your telephone bill will be proof that you paid Rs 1100/= plus 10.3% taxes.

Usually, BSNL issues tenders and buys lakhs of units. for a greatly reduced price.
Probably the supplier has included the unit which were not sold earlier!

BBG Combo ULD 1350 has 4 Mbps upto 20 GB, 512 Kbps beyond 20 GB. Not all are lucky enough to get 4 Mbps as the speed depends heavily on line condition. Expect somewhere around 2 Mbps. But if you are lucky, you may even get 4 Mbps.

Videocon D2H HD DVR User Experience and Review

Posted: 27 Feb 2011 02:33 PM PST

@ admin

I suggest we can change the title of this thread to somewhat like "Share your first hand experiences of HD DVR"......

I thought of starting a new thread, but there are so relating to this thing, that a new user will only get confused, as to where to find the relevant stuff!!

@ Thread

I am sharing my first hand experience of this product.......

I booked my connection through Online Team on Friday night & the installation was completed yesterday.

About time taken for installation, i was a bit disappointed.....coz the 2 guys came at 2:30 in the afternoon, & the final testing and all was completed by 6:45 PM or so.....the "Senior" of the 2 said that HD DVR installation normally takes 4-5 hours [:O].

I want to ask other users of D2h & also of other DTH providers, is this ture?? Frankly speaking i felt he took me for a ride.....anyways, it was done in the end.
The demo is pending, coz he said his senior had better idea so it is advisable to get it from that person - fine enough - should be today or so.

As regards channels......i also feel HD is worth spending the money. never seen such sharp content on Live TV!!

PACKAGE CONTENTS

1) 1 GOLD Plated HDMI cable.
2) Standard A/V Cable too is there if you dont have HDMI in TV.
3) 1 USB Cable - I think it is the 1 meant to be used as extension.....USB port is situated at the back, so may be to avoid those hassles, this cable can come in handy.
4) The STB of course - Manufactured by Altech UEC (Pty) Ltd, South Africa, Model 4611. (for those who want to Google it up)
5) The Remote Control & Adaptor for Power Supply.
6) User Guide
7) And yes, 1 month Platinum HD pack worth 440 is free.

All the functions are same as offered by other DTH providers - Play/Pause live TV, Rewind/Forward, Record/Schedule Recording of shows......
But 1 thing that i am really curious about is - There's a Purple button at the bottom of the remote.....the User Guide named it as "Motion Sensor button". But i havent gone thru it much due to lack of time......It will be known only when the person comes for demo.

HD Channels available -

1) NGC HD
2) Discovery HD
3) Movies Now HD
4) Travel XP HD
5) D2h Movies HD
6) D2h Music HD (Video Songs channel)

7) Test Channel - I saw Zee over here, but i think it may be due to glitch.....coz i couldnt make out much difference between normal Zee, and this channel. So, the mystery remains as to which is this channel - Zee TV HD or some other.
8) Test Feed - It showed me the standard message about "Not subscribed.......blah blah". Even this remains a mystery.

And deep within, i hope that 1 of them is Star Cricket HD......coz without that, their product wont be sold - atleast new buyers will think twice as we all know TS is offering it for Free, along with Active services!!

All in all - i would feel that the effective cost would fall to around 5.5k given the added benefits.
I am not making any judgments here - i dont know what others are offering, and what is their "Effective Cost".......

Will post things as & when anything comes to my mind. Or may be if anyone requires further info, can post their queries.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

Thanks for updating!!

At that at max stage service tax can be charged at a rate 12% or whatever it is.
Ahh yes, you're quite right. So we re-calc all that but the tax-bill is only about halved.

Tax Computation

Step 1 Select assessment year = 2011-2012
Step 2 Select type of Assessee = Domestic Companies
Step 3 Enter Net Income = 10,000,000.00

Income-tax(Including surcharge,EC & SHEC) on Rs. 10,000,000.00 is Rs. 3,399,000.00
Surcharge Rs. 300,000.00
Education Cess Rs. 66,000.00
Secondary and Higher Education Cess Rs. 33,000.00

So...

If they charge Rs1000/subscriber for 100GB we can work backwards:
Rs940 after 6% of revenue for the license
Rs740 after 20% overheads (labour, operations, MAYBE they can include equipment in there, and I'm being rather stingy even then)
Rs440 after bandwidth
Rs290 left after corporate tax.
==============
Rs160k divided by 290 = 551 = 55100GB = about 185mbit/s CBR but that still seems a tiny bit high just to break even.



I didn't even count service tax at 10.3% because that complicates matters even further.

Even BSNL had a CDMA service called 'Tarang'. Don't know whether it is still alive though :imwink:

My BSNL DATAONE @ 2mbps - D/L speed averages to 70kbps.

Problem: TypePad apparently still blocked on Airtel Broadband

Posted: 27 Feb 2011 06:28 AM PST

of course. the service itself is harmless. typepad is no longer a popular blogging platform so there are few complaints. blogger ban was a much bigger problem for indian users.

Best Wireless Broadband in Cochin?

I seriously doubt those claims of 'unlimited' usage on both Tata Indicom and BSNL. Go into the finer details to see if they have a download limit beyond which your speed will be downgraded. AFAIK, for IT it is some 5 GB.
