Reliance vs. BSNL & AIRTEL

Na, I havnt tried Reliance

But till now I've been using 3 cell GSM networks during my rides, MTNL (BSNL), AIRTEL & VODAFONE...

of these BSNL provides the best roaming esp in Mountains, which I need. Next is Airtel.

as these are GSM networks, I hope GSM based data cards would have better connectivity rather than any CDMA like Reliance

Suggest me.

Topic Merged.

Have you tried Reliance's data card mountaintrekker?

[mountaintrekker.india]

Which data card you use while roaming ?

Hi,


I am looking for a data card providing me the best roaming in remote parts of India. (Himalayas)

I have MTNL's unlimited broadband at home. Just to stay connected while traveling I need the datacard for basic surfing.

anyone here played Grid??

I have and I am still playing it! LOVE IT!

yes...personally i think its has the best handling physics after nfs porsche unleashed

Count me in as well! The physics, handling, gameplay - I find GRID in all these department to be a cut above the rest..

Pretty serious crime i must say, a mod himself involved in OT.

This could have been accepted if we were not having a dedicated thread on the discussed topic.

Please continue it over there, you know where.

A more easier way to download the videos is by using Realplayer.Just install the player and automatically "Download the video" tag appears on the top bar of the youtube video, from where one can download the file and play it in the same software.

Download Youtube Videos (IE/ Firefox) - Have a large collection!!

So, I posted this method here itself. Hope it helps you. Do this :-->


1. Go to this link :-->

2. Download & install the Add in (Works in IE & Firefox only) ...

3. Now, Restart Firefox & do you see that icon on the bottom right side of browser? Also in the Menu bar too ...



Open a Youtube Link Video, let it play for 1 second, then Cl!ck on this icon mentioned above ...

4. Video will start downloading, & now you can close Youtube too ... Download will still continue on ...


I downloaded some Crazy R1 Videos from ken.cool's youtube profile ... They are Cool! Thanks Ken bhaiya for the videos ...

@Psycho: Although gamers still swear by the benchmarking capabilities of Quake-III but it is really passe, if you ask me..Do run the Crysis benchmark, that would be the real test..

And lest I forget Congratulations for that beast.

ofcourse its passe, but still it is one game that we play here on the lan and thus I had it handy....

ofcourse I will run a plethora of benchmarks, all the 3dmark 05 & 06 - no vista no vantage, and other CPU intensive benchies too...

and games too, will install them slowly and then go.

abhi gotta put some benchmark soffies on download and gotta crash, its already close to midnight here...

got my machine, and price drops here enabled me to get both the E8400 processor and the ATi 4870 card.

and the 24 inch widescreen monitor is bliss - i mean movies and videos really come to life on it. games too - though haven't played many as yet. will install over the course of the week and then enjoy the weekend fully

btw, such is the power of the machine that quake 3 at 1600.1200 resolution, all quality options MAX, with 8X AA and 16X AF pulls 500-800 fps. that is killer.
