Ranjith’s Castle

This is the first time I am out of my mother country India. It is a very good experience flying on the Airlines over 12000 mts above sea level. I took the Indian Airlines from India to Singapore and Cathy pacific from Singapore to Hongkong to San Franscisco.

The take off at chennai is the one which I experience a little oddness and everything else were fine with all the other flights. The interior was no different from a road transport with a little leg room. The Cathy had a personal TV which can play movies as well us show the route and current position of the air craft at every second including height,speed,time to destination,etc. The drink and food is good in all the flights and I especially felt like taking some other foods other than indian. I took some chinese and port in my way from Hong kong to SFO.

The most beautiful thing is the view of the land and ocean and the clouds in the early morning before we landed in Singapore. I loved the view and the clouds looked like Antartic ice filled ocean.  We spent a couple of hours in Singapore and an hour in Hong kong. The air ports at both the cities looked great and it was little drizzling at Singapore which made it look very exciting. I have some photos of my travel and the airports. We landed 10 minutes before  time in SFO and till now SFO is good and the weather is very charming. Yesterday evening and today we roamed around the city and had some fun.

I had BSNL broadband connection for a long time and As of now due to the change in my house, I am yet to get the connections from the new BSNL Office. I am using the Account Less Dialer of the BSNL BFone Option. I want to try out the Airtel Broadband.  Before getting one, I thought of trying out  the wireless option got by Ashok.

Following are my inference:

• Airtel broadband Data Card states it gives out a speed of 237 kbps. It is much slower that the 32 kbps connection made from a BSNL BFone.
• The customer care personnel wants me to check the speed with connecting to the internet via a GPRS Enabled Mobile phone which I don’t think is not my job.

I don’t care what is the connectivity or signal strength of the Airtel network around my locality. It is the responsibility of the Airtel to give me correct figures of what will be speed at my locality and what is the steps taken by them to increase it.

Comparing to this BSNL Broadband has a much stabler and much much much faster data transfer rate with the promised 256 kbps  connectivity. I really appreciate the work BSNL guys has done with the already existing copper wires and for some of the plans bsnl provides a 2 Mbps speed tooo.

Please analyse before you take a call on Airtel.

PS:- I have not used any wired Airtel Broad Band.
