> more importantly, how is your experience with reliance? Just sharing experience of couple of our team members who bought their usb data card service. Their DNS servers would not resolve the ip address to our company website. Calls to their to their tech support was a BIG time waste; as usual they were clueless about the problem. We solved the DNS problem by putting in opendns servers in /etc/resolv.conf. On the speed issue, another team member has their 128Kbps DSL unlimited plan and the throughput she gets competes with speeds that one can get from a land line dial up connection (her best is 5KB/s). Yeah, unlimited but let's see how much patience you have! > is their billing system transparant, and accurate? > some random googling got me to some blogs where > some people have commented on their nasty experiences > with their billing dept: > http://www.tech2buzz.com/internet/review-reliance-net-connect-usb-mod >em You either believe this guys (the consumers) or their sales persons (below). As a general practice - I am always wary about any service that has reliance any where in the name, for electricity they are the only service provider in my area so I don't have a choice.

Right! They may professional and courteous but are they any good in solving your problems? My experience with reliance energy call center, courteous yes, professional yes, solved my problem no. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
