Finally back online

After being back in India for nearly 3 Weeks I finally got my Internet@home working again, thanks Beam Cable. I must say that the speeds which I get from Beam Cable Systems are pretty decent (I’m supposed to have a 2Mbps connection but am not getting that speed), it has a download limit of 2.8GB. They have also updated system a bit so that the internet continues to work even without power (earlier I knew when there was a power cut in Madhapur since it wud affect my internet connection in Kondapur). I should also mention that getting the connection took a while, 2 weeks of nonstop calling, but now that I finally have it… its definitely worth it.

High on the News update list is that my Laptop konked again….3 months after getting my first problem on my laptop (where wifi n display were not working) fixed http://twohomes.wordpress.com/2008/02/13/post-warranty-problems-compaq-presario-v3000/ i get a repeat performance with just the display, I immediatly thought of this as an excuse to upgrade to a new laptop.. No worries though ..this time around when i walked into the HP service station the guys knew exactly wat the problem was without even having to talk bout stupid stuff like reinstalling my OS. I wonder how many Incidents of Compaq v3000 display problems they have faced in the last few months? This time around it also became more obvious that the problem was overheating related since area near the power button went very hot.  Anyway.. they are in the process of fixing it or rather – replacing the motherboard.
