MTNL broadband slow speeds in Nerul, Navi Mumbai

Posted: 28 May 2011 04:53 AM PDT

MTNL speeds down again on Saturday afternoon.
Speedtest shows upload speed of 0.45Mbps & download speed of 0.080Mbps(80kbps):excruciating:
Thats really bad considering that I am on 1Mbps plan.
What is weird is that upload speeds are not affected!!!


What would you do with a 100mbit/s or 1Gbit/s connection?

You know that, I know that, but that's not the point. The original point is that I should be allowed, as a license holder, to have a copy of that content on any medium or mediums I choose, so if I have the CD, I should be able to rip it to my iPod or if I have the MP3/AAC version, I should be allowed to write that to a CD-R for my car stereo.

Etc.

Android OS is the only one which has begun to be cloud friendly.

Android was designed that way from scratch. Everything else is 10-ish years old BUT there are OSes out there which are perfect for the cloud - they're just even older.

What a lot of you youngsters don't seem to realize is that we're seeing the reversion of computing power and storage of information away from our own devices back to the cloud, or what would have been referred to up until about 1995 as "mainframes".

Mobile devices as they are are largely fine - 7mbit/s should be roughly sufficient for your average cloud service. But the networks almost never deliver that.

They're up to the stage now that wired networks were at back in the early 90's when an entire office would run on a 4mbit/s Token-Ring or 10mbit/s 10Base2 network with co-ax cable running along the wall and T-joiners at each machine; or, if you were really lucky, 10BaseT with the Cat5 cables we know and recognize today.

Of course, today's wireless networks are also much more complex and support far more users per segment/cell/bts/etc than any of those old networks could have done.

just wanted to use the word ginormous in a post here so please do not take this seriously. i would be paying for my hayai broadband connection just like anyone.

While I am aware that the reason you support the idea of Hayai is not for personal gain, I think it would be silly NOT to give you a benefit of some kind.

Obviously though, we can't have you appearing to be our lackey (through things like gifts or making your connection completely free of charge or anything of that nature), so apart from you being eligible for the same discounts as anyone else on some discount/referral program, maybe something else can be offered, like priority tech support or extra upload speed or something to that effect - we'll have to put our imaginations to work.

Is it worth migrating to Reliance Wireline Broadband? - A fed up Airtel Broadband user

Posted: 28 May 2011 04:00 AM PDT

Thats what i said, u have to check how is it in ur particular area......in my area, the CC guy has even given me his direct number, so that for any routine issue, i can just call him up & comes that very day & solves my issue. In other cases, may be 1 or 2 days time may be taken. U have to be unlucky to face major issues with CC.
