Pathetic BSNL BroadBand in Bareilly

Thursday, March 19, 2009
Its almost more than a year since I am using BSNL Broadband service, not because its the Best for me (as Preity Zinta says "BSNL hai BEST merein Liye"), but the only Broadband service provider in Bareilly. Before coming back to Bareilly I used Spectranet 's Broadband service for 3 months and as far as I recall its not even once my net got disconnected. But over here in Bareilly, I really don't recall a single day when my net not disconnected. I know how people curse me when I am playing multi player game on Internet as it will ruin the all game if one player disconnects and to avoid being kicked from games, I keep on changing my nick from Lord Voldermort to BraZook or kobu.

Before using BSNL I was using AIRTEL Data card and I was fully satisfied with it as it was the only provider who offered me unlimited downloads for Rs 999 per month at the speed of about 15 kbps, not really bad if you don't have any other option. I first applied for BSNL Broadband in Oct 2007 but as you already know Govt. services, I ended up buying a Airtel data card worth Rs 5000 because I was in great need of Internet at home. well then again I applied for it in Nov. 2007 and got the connection in January 2008.
I got the connection but again BSNL people did their Job and instead of providing me with 900 unlimited plan they gave me 250 plan where I had to pay for every mb I use. I am too net savvy and I uses like 200 mb a day for browsing, didn't mention how much i downlaod in a day. Then after a week or two I got the 900 unlimited Plan.
Now I am just waiting for some other players other than BSNL or sify in Bareilly. I am really willing to pay any price to have a good broadband service as Net means a lot to me and I rely on Net to pay my bills and expenses. I earned a healthy sum in the last two years using Internet.

The Cursed Road - IVRI Bareilly

Monday, March 16, 2009
Its not more than a year and half, the road in Bareilly in front of the IVRI ( Indian Veterinary Research Institute) is back to its old shape. It connects the vehicles coming from Delhi, Nainital to Lucknow and Pilibhit. Its really pathetic to see them driving through it with a fear that the cursed road may take their lives not because it has High speed traffic or sharp turns but because the dumb or some corrupt authorities didn't paid attention to the material used on it. Its almost the same now as it was one and half year back, with patches of pits filled with sand and stone. Because of these patches heavy vehicles really pose a danger to the pedestrians and light vehicles in order to avoid these patches.
Over the last one year I have seen authorities repairing and constructing roads which really of not that use. Instead if they paid attention to that IVRI Road, things won't be like this.
Wake Up authorities Wake up.
