Tata Indicom FWT and CDMA usbmodem works reasonably well. The FWTs have a downtime of about 3 days per year. And they actually had a tech suport guy 3 yrs back in Pune who new something about Linux. The local call center zombie would patch u on to Prasad (afair) if u said linux.
They patched you on to somebody? Wow! To a tech guy? Wooowww!!! He knew LINUX? OMFG help me I'm dying of wonder!!!!1111!!!!1
Idiots (read > VSNL < read) never were able to make MY broadband installation work with Linux in Pune. They f didn't support it. I only made it when somebody from PLUG gave me pointers. And now they have obliged me with domain registration (davelok.com) and website hosting that don't work!! Haven't worked since January, and countless calls to their zombie call centre are only returned with empty promises.
All diagnostics that I've tried basically give me the following information:
Background: This error indicates that the gateway could not find an
authoritative DNS server for the website you are trying to access.
If only the clueless idiots would understand...and provide some solution!
