Update on Reliance Wimax

Of late I have seen a lot of third party providers of Reliance Wimax connections in Hyderabad posting their phone number on my blog entry Going WiMax. The wimax connection really did not work out for me for the following reasons
  1. It just took a lot of time to get a connection each time I wanted one. It would sit for ages in trying to acquire network address.
  2. The speed was decent but nothing like the 2 mbps link that Airtel currently gives me.
  3. It was not really reliable. It would get cut of for no reason what-so-ever.
On the whole my experience has not been good at all with the wi-max connection and had it disconnected. I now use Airtel which is completely underground in my area and the service that they offer is quite exceptional. Speed is good and I have not experienced any downtime in the last 1 month that I have been using it.

I also tried Reliance WiMax but they didn't even call me after 2 calls from me. that was enough to turn me off and so I gave up. Sad story. Wireless broadband has such potential but they aren't utilizing it.

I live in Bajara Hills. What package do you have on airtel? can you tell me any package which has only bb and no voice? I don't need voice services as such.

I have hathway. they are ok but speed v/s tariff is not good.

You can go to the following website and check out the schemes that airtel offer - http://www.airtel.in/wps/wcm/connect/airtel.in/Airtel.In/Home/ForYou/Broadband+Internet/Tariffs/

I have taken the 699 combo pack and the phone is just a bonus as i dont use it anyway but it is nice as a backup at home. A friend of mine just took up an airtel connection in Banjara Hills and he is extremely happy with it.

I have used Hathway but the speed that they offer is very bad even though they promise you very high speeds. It was worse than dial up at times.

Yes indeed! This friend of yours is indeed very happy with his 777 connection at Banjara Hills.

The airtel reps were professional, quick and gave me the connection in exactly 3 promised days.

The speed is great and on almost every occasion of testing, I got speeds of over 1.3 mbps. that's faster than my needs.

The phone clarity too is excellent.

I have already quoted the same that Reliance WiMax is just being churned out to dispose not the net connections in an appraisable manner but to just clog the users with crap.

After my experience with Reliance WiMax I did find a lot of other people having similar problems with the service.

The funny thing is that even to disconnect a connection is an issue with Reliance Wimax. Repeated calls were needed for someone to come and pick up the equipment and then the guy asks me for money to take off the equipment saying that he was doing me a service by coming and picking it up and that I had to take out the equipment myself and give it in their service center. I found him hilarious.

Cricket Grounds in Hyderabad

This is a repost of the article I published on the 10th of Jan, 2008 as I have added a new ground - Lahari Resorts. View Larger Map In this post I will try and update the list of cricket grounds that i know in Hyderabad. The grounds that I have listed till now are MCH Play ground, Ameerpet Francis (Do not have the contact number but go to the ground and ask for him). The charges are Rs. 1100 for the ground. They do not charge for anything more. You get the ground from 9:00 AM to 4:00PM. The ground is small. Welfare Center, Sanath Nagar Dhanraj Babu (+91 9394556356). The charges are Rs. 1100 for the ground. They charge you an additional Rs. 500 for the mat and Rs. 100 for cleaning and drawing lines and stuff. They are supposed to give you the ground from 9:00 AM to 4:00PM but what they do is that they pocket extra money from another team wanting to play and give the ground out to them for the remainder of the day assuming that you won't play for the whole day. So what happened th

Problogger guest post

Today my guest post appeared on problogger.net . I wrote about 9 Tips to Start Blogging Successfully . Let me give you a bit of a background about where this article originated from. I have been blogging for close to 3 years now but I have been doing it seriously only for the last 2 months. I then analysed what were the things that I should have done in order to have become a successful blogger based on what I have noticed on the ones that have become successful. The final analysis of my study is what I put into that article and it is what I am trying to implement since the last 2 months. Reading the comments it was exhilarating to notice that some of the readers actually thought Darren was writing the post :-). It was also nice to notice that many readers agreed with my analysis and that strengthened my belief that what I have written if followed will work. How did I get to do a guest post on problogger.net ? A little more than a week ago Darren invited bloggers to do guest pos
