I have recently shifted to a place in Gurgaon where airtel doesnt have broadband service chair: airtel ) and so i decided to do go with TATA wimax.
i had taken a postpaid 256 kbps unlimited, and so i had an option of taking a static ip, which i had taken. the installation was done within 4 days of the application. immediately after connecting i saw that i had a dynamic ip instead of a static one.. :-[
i told this to the installation guy and i was told i needed to call customer care for that. i was like wtf... my first day with the connection and i have to call customer care :S
anyway i tested the connection speed in fron of the guy and it gave me a bandwidth of 257k down and arnd 250 k up. i was satisfied and he left. and then i started up utorrent to check torrent speeds and i saw speeds of around 10 Kbps :huh: i tried downloading a file from http and saw a dl speed of 12 Kbps.:huh: :huh:
i was suddenly having a feeling of sinking somewhere deep.. i rechecked the connection speed from sppedtest.net and i got a max dl bw of 50kbps !!!!!!! i was like
i made my second call to customer care.. and the guy was extremely sorry for my inconvenience and gave me a complaint number after trying to guide me through dns flushing, deleting temporary files and disabling firewall and antivirus... all because i was getting dl speed of 6 Kbps in a 256 kbps connection!!!!! (who are these guys????)
I was supposed to get a call by 10 pm tonight... and I am yet to receive one ....:bomb:
sorry for the rant..but ohh.. my hopes of uninterrupted downloads by getting a personal connection after 6 months :'(
