Which ISP to select?

Posted on Mar 01, 2009 under General

Here ISP stands for Internet Service Provider.

ISP are companiesthat provide internet connection to common public plus corporates.Normally every ISP provides connection to both the audience. The pricesmay vary accordingly too.

The basic points for pricing is thethe Usage,Connection Speed,Data Transfer. For techy people availabilityof LAN also matters. This is because software like DC++ and ODC helpsto transfer movies/music in fraction of a second through lan.Thankfully it prevents the painful waiting of 2-3 days for a movie tobe downloaded. All the ISPs that gives connection which are shared thatmeans that do not have dedicated services allows usage of such software.

So I looked for various options as follows:
You Telecom
Globcast(our local provider)
Hathway
MTNL TriBand

Myfirst choice was that I needed a Cable Net connection. If it isdedicated connection(static IP) than it was more preferred. So Idecided to go for Hathway. My budget was anything below 600 per monthand around 256 kbps. So hathway didn't fit my budget also it had veryhigh data speed at a very high cost and with less validity of usage.

Visiting you telecom website I shortlisted the following plan :

You explore 250 @Mbps !gB free 250 per month rental and 0.90 Rs extra per MB of usage.

Butthen it again would require LAN connection and an extra Carton of LANcable. The problem is more if they do not have a near by existingconnection and would take more time for installation. I never inquiredtheir installation charges.

I had already experienced badservice with our local cable net operator so decided to go for MTNLTriband. The plan of MTNL Triband is as follows

200P 256 Kbps 500MB download limit 199 per month rental and Re 1 per extra MB usage.

Thisis how we can take a triband connection. Actually the connection we getis on the existing MTNL land line connection. So we have to just callon 1504 from the land line on which we have to take the Tribandconnection. Then just book the plan that we have selected from theirbrochure. Next they will send their technician at your place withinnext 3 days.

They will install the modem, which requires a LANcard(not necessary). Actually there goes a UTP cable between theirmodem and our LAN card with a RJ45 connector. They will also provide uswith a phone cable splitter with the RJ 11 connector. This is for thepurpose that we can use the phone and internet simultaneously.


After this, the actiivation takes around 1-2 hours and you are ON. The modem also has a facility to connect to PC through USB rather thann through LAN card. The speed is pretty decent and also since we didnt need more data usage this plan is perfect.

So now comes the ONE TIME CHARGES.
Rs.300 - Installation charges
Rs.500 - For modem usage(since its rented; we can even buy the modem from them).

Plus apart from the rental (299 in my case) we have to pay Rs.50 per month as a modem rent.

ok guys, thats it :)
happy surfing

AN OATH FOR INDIA

Posted on Dec 10, 2008 under General

Hello Indians
The following post is my point of view, you may agree or disagree, or may add some more points.

Recent Taj event has really shaken everybody of us in this country.
I think everybody wants a system that tries to prevent all this nonsense, than try to combat it.
We as Indians always believe in "PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE"
But for that we really have to find what exactly is the problem.
We don't want our brave soldiers and policemen to die in such events in future.
Allof us are really scared this time, lets capitalize this feeling ofPARANOIA/FEAR, as everyone says lets channelize it properly.

Lets take AN OATH that everyone of us would be PROACTIVE rather than REACTIVE hence forward
Lets not forget this event, keeping it alive in our mind will not let us to be complacent any more.

Coming back to the problem thing. So what exactly is the problem?
After a long period of brainstorming and self analysis, I have came to a conclusion that the problem is the attitude of every Indian, be it educated and uneducated.
We have really became "SUSST"(lazy), if we can use the word.
The second problem is that we are not at all proud of whatever our nation is and are running away from our responsibilities

Guys we are the most privileged ppl of the country to undertake the most famous course of the WORLD, MBA
As an educated,responsible and knowledged citizen of India at least we should be PROACTIVE.
Lets take the effect of this event as a learning, and be proactive in not only against TERRORISM but all other problems that India is facing.
Be it a smallest thing, Start it now.



LETS TAKE A SILENT OATH TODAY, THAT WE WILL BECOME PROACTIVE AND TRY TO CONTRIBUTE IN ANY WAY TO THE COUNTRY.

pass it on IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THAT OATH


Please come up with things that we can contribute as a citizen.
