Folks,
Was away from home for a long time and hence away from the wifi. In the urge to become online, I fumbled with my lappy + reliance handset. I had a good luck with ubuntu + cdma internet and thought of posting my experience.
1. Use OpenDNS! Reliance DNS suck big time, once I switched to OpenDNS, my surfing speed just went up from 8Kbps to 56-72Kbps.
2. Linux... yeah kind of weird but can't help noticing it. Yup the hardware support for all those USB cable is excellent and works out of the box. I yet haven't figured out the software of windows box and the admins at my office don't have clue of anything else other than windows
...weird, hence not allowed to log on from linux!... I had the USB cable's installation CD's during purchase, but now have no clue where they all are. Hence linux is a pretty good rescue.
3. Avoid parallel website surfing, it seemed to be a bottleneck.
HTH for reliance users... maybe you are aware of these.
