I have already blogged about the new Fair Usage Policy crap from Airtel on TW.
A user on the India Broadband Forum had an interesting response he said he got from the Airtel team.
TRAI specifically say that the broadband companies have to provide at least 80% of the specified speeds.
But Airtel promises just half the of the speeds with their packages. It’s officially listed and accepted by their customer care people.
Why is TRAI silent on this issue?
I am frustrated coz Airtel does not provide me double speeds at night time and I am getting like around 20 KBps on a package which should give me 32 KBps.
130 MBs of updates on Ubuntu today. I am sure it would take a long long time…
Yeah. It’s a horrible movie. So horrible that I would place it in the same category as Aks and Boom.
I made a mistake. It’s an Akshay Kumar movie. This means that the movie is tasteless, senseless, logicless, meaningless… and manymoreless.
I wanted to kill myself when I was watching this movie. You would probably want to do the same.
I had love to speak more about how bad the movie is. But I guess I would spend that time taking backups of the server which was down for the last couple of hours.
The interval showed the trailer of the upcoming Aamir Khan movie: Tare Zameen Par. I missed it coz I was out in the line buying Popcorn.
The SRS Theater guys cut the end credits which had the song Hare Ram Hare Ram Hare Krishna Hare Ram… I hate them for doing that.
Vodafone just spam called me to tell me about a new feature on their service. This service has been designed to protect me from unwanted spam calls.
So, they want me to pay them 99 rupees monthly to set up a black list of numbers from which I do not want to receive calls. And I have to pay I think 50 paisa for adding every number to this list!
Considering, we already have National-Do-Not-Call registry in place, Vodafone should be taken to task by TRAI…
This is simply wrong.
I recommend watching this one man’s experience with TATA-indicom (VSNL) on CNN-IBN this Saturday (06.10.2007) at 6:30 PM. The show is called “All about the money!” Ajoy Eric Lal ( ajoyericlal[at]gmail.com ) has taken his case all the way up. It is now with TRAI and even an RTI application has been handed in demanding answers. He plans to take it even higher in his fight to improve things for all of us.
Let that episode inspire you to also start approaching your ISP formally and escalating your story up to TRAI, let it inspire you to form user groups that will take on ISPs and demand better services and let it inspire you all to help each other where it really matters.
So, we end up getting junk content on our browser screens. Why cannot they learn something from BBC which is running a Hindi website since ages and that website works fine on my computer without requiring downloading and installing a Hindi font.
Here is a part of the code that IS the problem…

Starting December 1, the country’s 3.2 million Direct-to-Home (DTH) subscribers will be able to ask for refunds on DTH equipment (the set-top box and antenna) if they choose to discontinue the service.
One of the two Nokia phones at my home has the battery which would need to be replaced by the company.
I applied for it online. Was pretty simple and straightforward. Now, it would be interesting to see how soon Nokia delivers the new battery!
To check out yours… Here is the link to: Product Advisory: Nokia BL-5C battery
Update: Nokia has stated that they are going to fulfill all the requests by September 15. I have doubts. Let’s see!
