MTNL Triband Combo Offer? VALID?
by Roshan 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hi, http://mumbai.mtnl.net.in/helpdesk/gifs/ads/revealad150905.jpg is the URL for looking at the advertisement that may have appeared in local newspapers. However, there's something called as Unlimited Free Uploads. So that means that they are only going to consider the surfing of sites and downloads of software from download.com (or any other site...) and not consider the attachements that are uploaded.... Has anyone gone for this plan...Please let me know.... Also, there are certain things in Triband Shifting charges - Rs. 100 (what's this?) Safety Charges - Rs. 100 (per month) CPE rent - Rs. 80 (agreed) In this plan, (COMBO plan) is 500 the minimum amount or are there any hidden costs. I am a bit confused and have long schedules in colleges with practicals and lectures longing for hours... I need to search the internet to understand certain concepts and study various things and transfer files... So I require a good reliable internet connection Also, is it supported in Redhat Linux 9.0? _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Does that mean if someone knows my password (and has DSL enabled on his line), he can misuse my account. What happens if router is attached to normal telephone line but account used is of DSL enabled line. Does it still work? May be MTNL might have activated DSL on all lines but not activated account for that NUMBER. OR other use can be is if my home usage is 350MB(400 scheme) I can use the remaining 50MB at office by changing username/password on router? I do not have MTNL DSL. Can someone who has it, check this? I am planning to get one. There can be uses and misuses of this bug/feature. Amish.

[OT] MTNL DSL - NU plan billing snafu?
by Arun K. Khan 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

I got my MTNL bill a few days ago. For the NU Plan the charge is Rs. 590 (unlimited usage 00:00->08:00) plus additional usage charge to the tune of Rs. 6304! My prime time (08:00->00:00) Internet usage pattern has not changed since I got the DSL service in Apr/05. I suspect there is some billing snafu whereby downloads during 00:00->08:00 have also been counted. Another friend of mine, with the NU plan, got a Rs. 14,000 additional DSL usage charge! Both of us are serviced by the Khar(W) CO. I have already complained to MTNL in writing but have not heard from them yet. Anyone on this list experiencing the same? Were you able to resolve it with MTNL? If not, perhaps we can complain to them collectively - pls. contact me off list. Regards, -- Arun Khan (knura at yahoo dot com) Success defies gravity - it goes straight to the head. Gravity take over when the head becomes heavy with Success!

Partly true. The real cause is voice circuits and Govt. revenues. ALL governments take a fat fee from the telcos for voice circuits and in return guarantee them a monopoly. If bandwidth is made cheap voip will wipe out the voice revenue. In fact given the price of copper and huge demand for power, it will be cheaper to rip out the copper signal cable and recast it for power distribution while replacing with optical fibre. U will have instant 1gbps bandwidth. That is what S'pore and Korea have in the pipeline. Ofcourse that would be the end of the telephony companies. In India things are skewed even worse. The copper infrastructure was setup with taxpayers money, on which the DOT (and phone vendors like Bharati telecom, ITI) made insane amounts of money. The government then sold off parts of their equity and pocketed the taxpayers money for such noble purposes as rural telcom. The original players retain the last mile network, in effect being a major stumbling block for other telecos and competing with private companies using public money. The TRAI and telecom mandarins refuse to share their last mile circuits with other service providers and have made it illegal to provide any telecom service without paying licence fees. In the guise of protecting the public the government has effectively held them to ransom, allowing a few players to profit. rgds jtd
