Why man! Did I gave you the shocker of life? Hmmm, I had to be married, been with my girl for last 13 years or odd, her mom won't like my singleton status, got married 4 years back, then her mom won't like us just being couple, in fact, had hell lot of pressure from everyone, so we became parents this June. I guess many here would have the same story. Yup we both started in Nagpur.

Evdo is 550 for the plan @2mbps ul and abt 4k for the modem if purchased or 200 as rent..So comes to 750..Same as 256kbps ul..

The things is that the damn thing depends on the towers and signals, u need to be in 3km radius for full speed..:(thats wat the guys at bsnl said..

Yeah they allow u to test by sending someone over..the guy told me to come after a month and he'l send a guy with me to check the speeds and all..

check the broadband section for evdo thread..check out cisco's torrent speed..

HTPC without speakers ??? :no:
Click to expand...

Hmm, mine constraints are:

1. Least possible wires. (Thanks HDMI, this was easy)
2. No big speakers, nothing thats going to take space. (I finally lost on this). Hence use the ones thats from LCD/PLASMA.
3. No way the CPU should be visible (No point using any bling bling cabinet).
4. Keyboard and mouse will not be visible other than special circumstances (can live with, with the remote).

So, in a nutshell, once the LCD is here, so will be the speaker... such is the life. :ashamed:
