| Tata Sky DTH migrating to MPEG4; Will exchange MPEG2 STBs free of cost! Posted: 30 Jul 2013 02:48 AM PDT We are replacing close to 5-6 million MPEG-2 SD STBs at no cost to consumers over the next year. All of this is coming in from internal accruals.
But you need to wait for one more year to see many new channels
We have been adding channels in a phased manner; the process will now be accelerated with the MPEG-4 STB. By June-July next year we should be able to revise our channel offerings to consumers,

| Reliance Broadband down in Mumbai - western suburbs Posted: 30 Jul 2013 02:35 AM PDT My Internet service has been down for the last 4 days and Reliance Broadband customer service would promise to get it rectified. Eventually I got really pissed and asked to talk to a manager. My Krishna came online and informed me that the problem is with Reliance and BMC as Reliance has not paid the rents and BMC has cut the service and they have no "ETR" aka ETA for the service to be up. Well so I figured that this is now not working for me. I am already fishing for another provider in the Mumbai murky waters. Apparently the Reliance Broadband service has had this problem earlier; Mr. Krishna told me so and this has been corroborated by this Forum and also my family informed me the same - I was traveling out of India and recollected the issue. Reliance and BMC have problems and all that Reliance really does is dig elsewhere and provide access. This is cheating in my opinion. If the company does not have a proper cable system, has rent issues or plain does not have the necessary infrastructure to provide a service, they should not sell the service. I may go to the consumer court for the loss of my opportunities and the time spent on call and still not having internet access. If there are other people in the Western suburbs facing this problem, please ping me and let us get together to file a case against Reliance. |

| Posted: 30 Jul 2013 02:00 AM PDT Hi All ,
In continuation to the below trail mails is been informed to all, that we still face the issues since then and as mentioned in our previous mail and nothing concrete has been done till date rather than storytelling and using jargons of technical words which has caused us huge losses that affected us in multifold ways also when tried to confirm about the same from your technical staff telephonically we were been misguided and rather suggested some unfriendly alternatives . Also complaints logged by us are being deliberately closed without any execution disabling us the right to waiver from the billing in this respect .In this regard we wish to disclaim all that now it is enough of this business . After tolerating from so long it is now cautioned you to kindly end this suspense by either solving the problem or relinquish the service so that we may proceed further for our share of compensation for the loss that you or your company has caused to us in both terms monetary as well as mentally in this period to the honourable courts. You are requested to kindly look into the urgency of this matter and respond by your earliest.
This communication shall be treated as a notice in reference to the provisions of the prevailing laws in India and to be considered as duly served on this date . Lastly once again after resisting very hard with your staff and tolerating their prejudices & resistance to the extreme we are left with no other option except to report the matter in this manner to you, hoping for the positive action and prompt response failing which, the injury and damages caused to us by your staff invites us to take the matter for the legal recourse in the competent forum for the consumer redressal. Please also note that in case no action comes from your side within the period of 7 days the cost and consequence whereof for the legal action shall be borne by you along with all the consequential compliances as directed by the appropriated forum according to law. Please also note that the copy of this has been retained in our records for any future and consequential use against you.

| Beam Fiber: are you throttling Youtube Posted: 30 Jul 2013 01:59 AM PDT As soon as you rolled out the new plans this month, i have found Youtube buffering an annoying issue.
It was pretty good last month but when my speed increased to 25 Mbps (rs.1660 plan), Youtube has has become noticeably slower.
Although I love the speeds, the download speed is near perfect, the problem is only Youtube (I have to buffer a video on 360p on my 4Mbps fallback speed -this is not right).
Considering that 50% of all the browsing I do is on Youtube, this is be quite a big problem for me and I hope to hear your answer to this.
Has anybody else notice this problem |

| Wired Broadband in Millennium Tower, Sector 9, Sanpada, Navi Mumbai Posted: 30 Jul 2013 01:34 AM PDT Hi everyone,
We are living in a rented apartment in Millennium Tower, Sector 9, Sanpada, Navi Mumbai. Our requirement is high speed wired broadband (Total of 8 mbps atleast) and low ping. We are even willing to take upto 3 different broadband connections and even from different ISPs. This is because the flat has two floors and sharing a single net connection via wifi would be difficult as well as adversely impact the ping for the guys who is playing online games. Also, different isp means having backups is one net suffers downtime.
Till now only Airtel has confirmed their presence in my building but their FUP limit is ridiculous. We are willing to pay upto Rs 3000 p.m.
We have contacted a local cable operator by the name of "Om star" has told us that their connection is not available in our area.
I have also contacted Reliance about their presence in my area but they haven't reverted anything till now. Also, I am bit doubtful about their service after reading about user experiences, complaining about high ping and frequent disconnection.
Please suggest a broadband connection/ISP provided which operate in this area as I am new to this city/area.
Thanks in advance Regards |

| Firefox's Australis Theme May Have Disastrous Consequences For Users Who Customize The Browser Posted: 30 Jul 2013 01:07 AM PDT The new Australis theme has been looming around the heads of the Firefox community for a very long time. Most of what we - that is the public - know about the theme is that it will modify how Firefox looks as it will replace the current default theme when it is released. What many Firefox users may not be aware of though is that Australis is more than just a theme replacement as it will affect the way we customize the browser. * The Add-ons toolbar (former status bar) will be removed. Mozilla plans to move all add-on icons formerly displayed in the bar in the main navigational toolbar instead (just like Chrome does). * Custom toolbars will be removed. Icons displayed in those toolbars will be moved to the main navigational toolbar as well. * The back, forward, reload and stop buttons as well as the url bar will be placed at the beginning of the main toolbar. They can no longer be moved to another location. * Items can no longer be placed in the menu toolbar. All items that have been placed there - by add-ons for instance - will be moved to the navigational toolbar instead. * Small icons will no longer be supported. * Third party toolbars such as Ask, AVG, Babylon or Norton will remain untouched. * The tabstrip's customization area is limited to one area on the side of the tabs closest to the menu button. All items displayed in the tabstrip will be displayed there. firefox australis

| Airtel chennai users,Some questions for you.. Posted: 29 Jul 2013 11:35 PM PDT Hi guys I'm thinking about shifting to airtel, Ive been a long time user of bsnl (for like 10 years now), now thinking of shifting. I'm thinking about taking the rapid 80gb plan (80gb, 8 mbps, 512 kbps after quota).
1) Do you really get the speed advertised? I've seen youtube videos of it, but is it really true? And how is the upload speed? I've heard 0.8mbps is the upload speed for most airtel plans. I'm currently stuck with 300kbps upload with bsnl, so this will be a massive boost.
2)How is the ping to singapore (and other servers like eu/us)? This is actually the most important part for me as I play a lot, dota/sc etc. Specifically If there are dota 2/lol players here what is your ping to the sea server? and could you do a tracert of sg.logon.battle.net. With bsnl I normally get anywhere between 40-90 ping to singapore, and 250 to the U.S, and 150-200 to EU. But off late I've been getting terrible pings (normally this is fixed by restarting your modem till you get a good ping..but it doesnt seem to be working). do you get the same low pings in airtel, or it higher?
3) Customer support: Now I know this is non existant in bsnl, so anything would be a huge improvement, but in bsnl I knew a lineman who could atleast get people to look at something at times (mostly connection down,line dead kinda issues). But airtel I'd have to rely on the phones. So is it worth anything at all?
4) blocked websites: Another thing that bsnl has started doing recently, a lot of filesharing and image hosting sites are blocked, I've heard airtel is pretty strict on this too. On bsnl I've gotten by using proxies, can you do the same on airtel?
So yeah, I've heard a lot of bad stuff about airtel, but also a lot of people tend to swear by it, so I'm really confused. |
| Online streaming is not smooth on Reliance Broadband Posted: 29 Jul 2013 11:27 PM PDT Hello,
I apologize if this topic is already discussed.
Installed reliance broadband 2days back, 2Mbps pack.
I get proper speed while torrent download, once i got 10Mbps for a torrent (downloaded a movie-700MB in 34mins.)
Youtube works fine. Can watch 480p videos without any issue.
But when it comes to online streaming (other than youtube), its not at all smooth. Video keeps stuttering all the time, for all video qualities 240,360,480 As i have not disconnected my previous internet connection (BSNL 512kbps ) yet, i tried streaming there. Its smooth for 240p.
Please help me with this.
Is there any software that can help me use the full bandwidth while surfing?
Regards. |

| ACT Broadband Bangalore Reviews Posted: 29 Jul 2013 10:30 PM PDT Hello Readers, My name is Vivek Sinha Anurag and i am going to post some "great" work shown by Act Broadband. I applied for ACT Broadband 5 Mbps plan [its having cap value of 35GB after that speed will reduce to 256 kbps] by calling their customer care on 16th Aug 2011. I was surprised to see their lightening fast response as the representative came to my doorstep the very next day and on 17th Aug 2011 Mr Ashitt O.S. collected the money and documents and told me that withing 5 days i will get my connection and i even got sms confirmation that my request no is 142263. Now the real story started. Even after 6 days no one ever bothered to check my request so i called customer care [ 080-42840000] to remind them and i was told that i will get it withing next 2 days. I waited for next 2 days and called them again. I was surprised to learn a new technical term from them that they are "Uploading network" hence its taking time and soon i will get my connection. Since my work was getting affected because of their delay i applied for a BSNL connection too. Now today is 5th September and i am still waiting for the connection and to my surprise i got the BSNL broadband last week. I tried escalating this matter and asked the customer care for any high level contact and they said that i need to mail helpdesk@acttv.in. I emailed them but i got no response. Please note some points regarding ACT broadband before applying ACT broadband 1. They dont have nodal officer/appellate authority [against TRAI rules and i have already escalated this matter to TRAI officials with the help of pgportal.gov.in] 2. They have a customer base of 2500 users in bangalore and they are not able to manage even this small number. 3. They DO NOT PROVIDE STATIC IP [even if they claim to do so] 4. Their customer care service is useless. All you will losse is your balance by talking to them 5. They can "Upload network" [You can imagine the understanding capability of their technicians] 6. They are fast in collecting money but lazy in delivering service Final conclusion: To be on safe side stay away from them else you will suffer like me. Morning shows the day and even before using their service i am suffering. Don't know what will happen when i get the connection and i face any problem that time. |

Every day I am calling customer care but they are telling me the same thing " sir today one engineer will come for installation, sorry for the inconvenience " .
Please tell me what's the meaning of today in ACT's dictionary. I don't want to waste my money and time by calling and sending mail to ACT.
I have sent two mail to nodal officer also but still didn't get any response.
If you cant give me the service then return my money . My local broadband Airwired is giving me one day installation. The only reason I choose ACT is because of high speed internet but I can't sustain with low speed service.

| 6 months advance paid but no connection yet! Posted: 28 Jul 2013 11:40 PM PDT I had referred Act Broadband to my relative and as per my advice they have applied for the broadband connection. They were told feasibility for their area was there. They opted for a 6 months advance payment of Rs. 6,732 under the 999 unlimited 15mbps plan. The payment for Rs. 6,732 was made on 13th June 2013 by cash and received the receipt for the same. The A/c No is 316422 and it is in the name of Sarala M B. Since then they haven't got the connection till date and I have been trying to follow up with the customer care guys but all the follow up has gone in vein. Every time I explain the situation they say we have escalated it and u will receive a call from the concerned department shortly, which by the way has never happened till date. After this bitter experience they have applied for a refund which also has not happened. Act has shifted the junction box onto their property. After the box was shifted onto their property the guy who installed the junction box said he dint have the required tools to setup a new connection and hence he said he would come the next day and give the connection. Its been close to 15-20 days since. He or nobody has ever turned up till date to do the needful. |

| Tikona WiBro Services - Dont Ever go for it Posted: 28 Jul 2013 11:25 PM PDT This is a complaint about Tikona Wireless Broadband and see how much frustration a customer would have in selecting this useless service, 1)Jul-2012 i took the Tikona Wireless Brodaband connection for 1mbps speed. they some how convinced me saying it will never happen again.Then i paid my third due from Jan - Mar 2012. same story. i did not disconnect because i thought i will be changing my house so it will be better if i raise a disconnection thinking that they will disconnect immediately since it is wireless. In April 2013, there was no stable connection, called the Customer Care and made a complaint. As usual the so called Engineer did not turn up and i got frustrated i raised a request for disconnection. After the request is raised the Engineer called me for fixing the issue. I told i disconnected and not needed your service. The next day a guy from Mumbai called me and he spoke in my language(for convincing) and convinced me and promised me it will never happen. I did not have a connection for 10 days again.I was not able to disconnect also because i paid the amount for Apr - Jun 2013
mail sent on Apr 6, 2013 for disconnection, I had disconnected my Tikona WI-BRO service on 05-Apr-2013 and i had raised a complaint to the customer care for the same. thanks, Boooooooooooooooooh. disconnected. it did not even know whether the payment is made. Chapter 2 The WORST 1)I had raised a disconnection request again on 23-jun-2013 before 4 days of bill end date(26-jun-2013).This 4 days + 30(or even more) = 36 days i did not claim anything, instead i want this Ghost out of my Home.

| Airtel Broadband disconnects often - Outlook and Skype disturbed Posted: 28 Jul 2013 11:20 PM PDT Hi All, We have taken a 8 Mbps Airtel broadband for our office usage. We are totally unhappy with the frequent disconnects that happens. Our outlook client and the skype calls are losing connection often. From the day it got installed, the problem persists. We made a complaint to them, they gave a complaint number to follow up, someone came to resolve the issue, he did something to change the copper connection but still the problem continues, the compliant is open for more than 2 weeks. The so-called "good customer care from private broadband providers" is no more valid. Can anyone suggest a better alternate for Airtel?
Thanks & Regards, Kannan

| How Many of you faced Unbearable Delay and Denial in trying to cancel your Airtel Broadband account? Posted: 28 Jul 2013 10:46 PM PDT Hi all, I had been a loyal customer of airtel for around 3 years. I was satisfied by their services (albeit costly), prompt grievance redressal. But once i decided to shift to new location, where airtel is not available, and applied for cancellation it has been a horrible and nightmarish experience for me. I applied for cancellation on 28th June. They assured me that cancellation will be completed within 7 days. But to my utter surprise, the week ended without any action. then i again called 121, they had no idea about previous request. They filed new request without resolving the first one. From then till now, my cancellation has not been processed and i am being forced to bang my head at their customer-service-wall in frustration. 121 guys say they dont know anything except accepting the requests. Basically, i believe, my account is being unnecessarily and deliberately kept active to thrust bills. This fear became more reasonable once i saw these past requests of other guys after googling.
In one of these cases, they even slapped legal notice for bills for months without any basis and employed strategy of threatening calls! I am not giving my details because i have lost my trust in them. I doubt they will solve problem here except generating that cc-ed/general response to resolve soon.
Now, my question to you is 1)Did any of you face such a situation earlier? How did you respond? 2)How to tackle this unnecessary harrasment? Is there any remedy-legal or otherwise 3)Isn't it unwise for Airtel (and surprizing for us) to lose the goodwill/trust generated in such cheap tactics? Or does business happens like this only? |

| Lewis Hamilton News and Updates Posted: 28 Jul 2013 10:26 PM PDT Hi all Lewis Hamilton fans out there. get ur favorite star hamilton's news in this thread... ajuravi007 has started ferrari fans and alonso fans thread :hysterical: so, i have started the young rookie hamilton  news thread. Enjoy .He is the star of tomorrow :thumbsup: No one can touch him... neither alonso nor raikkonen can stop him win the the 2008 f1 championship  :hysterical:Hamilton pleased after maiden MP4-23 run 10 Jan 2008 McLaren's Lewis Hamilton is feeling positive after completing his first laps in the team's 2008 challenger, the MP4-23, on Thursday. Hamilton was in action at Jerez alongside new team mate Heikki Kovalainen, as the British squad continued their three-day private test at the Spanish circuit. "It was fantastic to get my hands on the MP4-23 this morning in Jerez," said the 23 year-old. "I saw the completed car for the first time on Monday at the team's launch in Stuttgart and I have been pretty impatient since then! My first run was at 09:10 and my first impressions are encouraging. "I covered over 103 laps, which is 456kms, today. Considering this is only the second day the car has been on track, I am pretty happy with that. We have a lot of work to do, but now we have a real understanding of where we are starting from. I will be back in the MP4-23 with Heikki tomorrow and I am looking forward to continuing the programme and moving forward." Kovalainen, who got his first taste of the new car on Wednesday, alongside tester Pedro de la Rosa, was equally pleased with his own progress. "Today was my second day with the MP4-23 and I have now been able to complete over 447kms in total," said the Finn. "We are all still spending time learning about the car and starting to get used to it. That we were on track for 204 laps in total today is definitely helping us to learn and progress with the car. "For me in particular the car is very different from last year, and I have been focusing on that side of things. Settling into the team has been very easy." Hamilton clocked the day's best time, a 1m 19.132s, while Kovalainen's best lap was completed in 1m 19.462s. The duo will continue to test at the track on Friday. |

| Fernando Alonso News and Updates Posted: 28 Jul 2013 10:21 PM PDT Fernando Alonso topped the timesheets on his return to Renault today at Jerez lapping the Spanish circuit a tenth clear of countryman Pedro de la Rosa. It was an impressive return to the team for Alonso as he put in 70 laps with a best time of 1:19.503s. It was a busy day for the McLaren Mercedes team with de la Rosa putting in 111 laps in his MP4-23 while Kovalainen sixth fastest, completed 130 laps in the new machine. Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa were third and fifth fastest respectively for Ferrari with Nico Rosberg running well in his FW29 with the fourth fastest time. Sebastian Vettel and Sebastien Bourdais proved closely matched for Toro Rosso Ferrari with the seventh and eighth fastest times while Mark Webber was ninth best in the Red Bull Renault. Kazuke Nakajima rounded out the top ten in his Williams Toyota ahead of Timo Glock in the leading Toyota TF108 and Giancarlo Fisichella in the Force India Ferrari. Kamui Kobayashi brought up the bottom of the timesheets in the second Toyota while Super Aguri Honda did not run after problems encountered yesterday. Renault continued its preparations for 2008 today with Fernando Alonso taking over driving responsibilities from Nelson Piquet. It was an important day as it was Alonso's first appearance in Renault colours since being confirmed as a 2008 race driver in December. Arriving at the Jerez circuit yesterday evening, the Spaniard spoke to the engineers to understand how the first day of the programme had gone, and to prepare for his two days work with the team. His first day behind the wheel gave the Spaniard the opportunity to drive a car in accordance with the 2008 electronic regulations, and most significantly without traction control. It was also a good opportunity to reacclimatise to the team with which he has worked for six years in the past. At the end of the session, having covered 70 laps, the overall result was an encouraging first day as Alonso topped the timesheet with a best lap of 1:19.503s. Fernando Alonso "The result of my first day in the car is encouraging. I could not wait to drive again, but at the same time I was a bit tentative. I quickly settled back in to the team and everything went well. We made good progress throughout the day, but there is a lot still to do. I had to adapt at first to the car and get used to driving the car without traction control, but I am convinced that that soon I will be used to this and will not remember what is was like to drive with traction control." |

The pair made their wedding vows in the Nossa Senora do Brasil church with Jean Todt, Stefano Domenicali, Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa, Luca Baldisserri and Luca Colajanni attending the ceremony. Of course Nicolas Todt, the manager of Massa, could not be missed during the wedding. F1technical wants to congratulate Felipe and Rafaela with their marriage! F1Technical.net: Massa ties the knot (Powered by TotalF1.com) Former Champ: Schu could return to racing Saturday 1st December 2007  Former F1 Champion Alan Jones reckons Michael Schumacher may be considering a comeback after an impressive test at Barcelona two week's ago. Although Schumacher retired from F1 at the end of the 2006 season, the German returned to action with Ferrari at the Spanish track in the first of the winter tests. The seven-time World Champion proved to be the man to beat as he dominated the timesheets during his two days of testing. And although Schumacher has stated many times that his test does not mean he will be making a competitive comeback, Jones reckons the thought has to have crossed Schumi's mind. "After nearly a year out of the saddle, I can image him thinking, 'Maybe I'd like to have another go.' It must be just like coming back from an extended Christmas break," Jones told Autosport. "He used to take a couple of months off at the end of each season, so another few months won't make a big difference. Two or three years might have done. "It's a win-win situation: Ferrari gains from his expertise and he enjoys it. And you can never rule out a comeback - he might be thinking, 'I'm really enjoying this!' Money won't be his motivation, it will be to prove a point. "Niki Lauda was out for several seasons and came back and won the title. Michael could do the same." Schumacher misses Massa's wedding day Dec.3 (GMM) A representative for Michael Schumacher has played down speculation that he may have fallen out with his former Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa. In the presence of many of his Ferrari colleagues, 26-year-old married his fiancee Rafaela Bassi, who is 27, in Sao Paulo last Friday, according to reports from Brazil and Italy. Among the 800 guests were team bosses Jean Todt and Stefano Domenicali, as well as Mario Almondo, Aldo Costa and Luca Baldisserri -- but not Schumacher, his 2006 teammate. Massa's countryman Rubens Barrichello also attended, reports said. Days earlier, the former seven time world champion, Schumacher, won a karting event hosted by Massa in the southern Brazilian city of Florianopolis. The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag said Schumacher had celebrated Massa's impending marriage with his former teammate and friend in the days prior. A representative for Schumacher said: "Michael is currently in the United States for a family vacation." |
| Red Bull Racing News and Updates Posted: 28 Jul 2013 10:17 PM PDT RBR signs Vettel for 2009 Thursday, 17 July 2008 13:21 Red Bull Racing has confirmed that it has signed Sebastian Vettel to partner Mark Webber in its 2009 driver line-up. A vacancy opened up at the Milton Keynes-based squad following David Coulthard's decision to retire at the end of this season, and Vettel has been widely tipped for promotion from Red Bull's 'B' team Toro Rosso. However there has also been speculation that RBR was trying to entice double world champion Fernando Alonso away from Renault, but the Spaniard remains non-committal about his plans for next year and has been linked to a move to Ferrari in 2010. Team principal Christian Horner said he was confident that, despite Vettel's youth and relative inexperience, the 21-year-old German was the right choice. "We are delighted that Sebastian will be joining us next year," said Horner. "With David Coulthard announcing his retirement as a Formula 1 driver a fortnight ago at the British Grand Prix, after careful consideration, it seemed natural to announce his replacement here at Sebastian's home race in Hockenheim. "As he was already part of the Red Bull family, choosing Sebastian as Mark Webber's team-mate was not a difficult decision. RBR signs Vettel for 2009 - F1 | ITV Sport |
