Insanity Rediscovered

Many users have already complained to me that they cannot access the forum. Now, I can see that I cannot access the forum myself if I am using Airtel’s DNS Servers.
I am pretty helpless in this case. I have sent a mail to Airtel asking them to check this issue. Though, I doubt it [...]

Now, the Zeest guys are unlikely to release [...]

Still not enough.

I was reading this comment on the Broadband Blog and realized that we have enough players in the market. At least in the major cities.
What we need now is number portability. That ability to change service providers without changing mobile numbers would be awesomeness.

Mileage: 14000 KM

Spending per day on fuel alone: Rs. 162
