[snip] the reports on reliance's bililng issues are pretty consistent. you can find them on forums, mailing lists, and among your own circle of friends. quite a few people also feel harrassed due to this, so i'll stay away from them even though i also know of people who have no problem.
have used tata indicom on ubuntu breezy badger for more than a year, and had no problems with connectivity, except in certain parts of mumbai. used it at airports, in taxis on the road while being driven around in various indian cities and once even on NH1 while driving down from chandigarh to delhi. no issues. would appreciate if you could share with me your experiences and verdict on airtel gprs-over-edge on a pre-paid. i find it sucks even when i'm here in urban heart-of-the-city in the NCR, awash with zillions of radiowaves bouncing off, absorbing, and passing through my skull 24x7. what's with airtel? specifically, i have found i may have to make 9 or 10 attempts in a session before i get a few random spurts of good connectivity for a few seconds or minutes, until it goes back into an excruciatingly painful crawl. sometimes i joke to myself it falls to 1 byte per hour or something, or maybe even 1 bit. the next re-connect suddenly coughs and splutters. what's your take? was zapped to note a colleague's vodaphone had far-better gprs-over-edge connectivity and speed than mine. niyam bhushan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
