Highway to Footpath….

We have been unceremoniously kicked from the Information Super highway to the Information Footpath. As news tells it our ISP was illegally giving cable internet connections using a leased line from BSNL, their offices were raided by CBI yesterday and all the equipment seized.

So we are back to using dial-up and very high telephone bills… thankfully though the dial-up is very stable and gives a decent 56kbps. Hopefully there will be some alternative soon.

In other news the book “Building Custom PHP Extensions” arrived from Amazon. Yeah I know it is available in electronic format for free BUT I wanted a dead tree version which I can read to the point where I know everything even without looking at it 🙂 I somehow cannot do that with texts on CRT….

  • SuperPlan…

    Switch to the BSNL super-plan you’ll save around 20% minimum!(Anyone with a bill of over 1400 per month should be on the SuperPlan.)

    • Re: SuperPlan…

      Where do you apply for the SuperPlan ?

      • Any customer service center…

  • Switch to the BSNL 500 bucks flat plan (if it is available in your area).

    500 bucks flat per month – stay online 24 hours a day if you want. Add 10 paise per minute for ISP time (BSNL) and you are going to have a tough time crossing 1000 bucks a month.

    • Thanks, Looks promising BUT I don’t think it is available in our area / city, will find out tommorow

      Anyway another cablewala has promised us connection in the coming week so hopefully in a month or so we will get it 😀
