Take a look at the following table showing the difference between similar ADSL broadband plans of BSNL and MTNL – the two public sector telecom companies of India. MTNL only operates in the cities of Delhi and Mumbai, while BSNL operates every else. Delhi and Mumbai are probably the two largest commercial cities of the [...]

Biting the “broadband” bullet again – Tata Broadband in Delhi
June 10th, 2005 · Comments · General
After my terrible experience with Sify broadband early this year, I decided to stick to dialup – Reliance rconnect over FWP actually. But the idea of keeping a phone busy all day doesn’t appeal to me much even if the plan I have (Platinum) doesn’t have download caps or per minute call charges.
So today I [...]

I bought my first wireless equipment a couple of days back – A Linksys Wireless-G router model WRT54G. I had selected this model after spending a number of days poring through online reviews of various routers.

Today morning when I logged in my net4domains control panel, I was shocked to see the control panel missing. I tried to login using one of my end-user accounts (I am one of net4domains’ reseller), I couldn’t see the user control panel either. I use Firefox on Linux. The webdeveloper extension showed that there was [...]

Moving on to Sify (not)broadband
February 25th, 2005 · Comments · General
Inspite of my contempt for their loathsome Internet fleecing plans, I had to reluctantly sign up for a Sify cable internet plan today. Cost me a neat pile for installation and pre-payment for one month. The most painful part of this transition is going back to a NAT-ted private IP. This means no more gnomemeeting, [...]

A world without TV ads?

This cartoon strip of Rudy Park today, in some way brings out the revolution in TV watching that TiVo has pioneered.

Tables are passe. CSS is here!
September 1st, 2004 · Comments · General
Eric Meyer writes that the Microsoft web site has been redesigned to use a mostly CSS based design as compared to the old table based one. The subsequent page size decrease was 75%+!!
