tusharkanwar 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2005 I have been a regular user of the R-Connect service on my LG RD2030 for the past 1.5 years in Bangalore, and have been using LG Serial Cable to connect to my Desktop. I just purchased a new laptop, and since it did not have serial ports, I started using a USB cable purchased from Reliance for the same purpose (this cable had worked with a Simputer previously, so I know it works!). I used R-Connect (USB for WinXP) drivers from Relianceinfo.com, installed LG USB converter driver, installed R-connect dialler, restarted and start using the R-Connect dialler. Here is where the trouble starts. Connectivity is fine for a minute, after which it flat-lines and the application/windows dialup freezes and I have to kill it. I cannot relogon since windows shows the connection is still in 'Disconnecting' state. The machine wont even power down now and after some trial and error, I realized I have to kill 1 instance of svchost.exe (consuming 19 MB of RAM) before I can restart. Can anyone help - I have tried everything from reinstalling the connection after deleting the modem and uninstalling the LG USB drivers, but nothing seems to work. Here is how the ping looks to Yahoo once I connect - note the general failure [the full ping has been included, scrolls quite a bit till the connection starts timing out- the time equivalent is approximately 1 minute] Pinging www.yahoo.akadns.net [68.142.197.89] with 1 bytes of data: Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=468ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=460ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=533ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1445ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=767ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=476ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=616ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=735ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=475ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=476ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=655ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=560ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=480ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=780ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=497ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1285ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=738ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1070ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=818ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=769ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=889ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=479ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=640ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=632ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=505ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1451ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1102ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=620ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=483ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=895ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=802ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1183ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1365ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=793ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=873ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=800ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=667ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=746ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1044ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=559ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=477ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=637ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=477ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=478ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=477ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=478ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=657ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=997ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=597ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=485ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1085ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=532ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=940ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=627ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1100ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=547ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=470ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=937ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=1155ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=679ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=598ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=498ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=483ms TTL=52 Reply from 68.142.197.89: bytes=1 time=2003ms TTL=52 Request timed out.

piyush832003 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2005 100% True the only plus point of reliance is it's mobility otherwise BSNL is better than it. Really these people have lowered their standards and charge like giving broadband services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirCom 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 (edited) Hello everyone, I have a LG LSP 340E phone that is about a year old. It has started to give give a bad voice quality (nothing is clear on it) and the internet speed is pathetic at 10 kilobits per second. Is something wrong with its internals? For about 7-8 months after its purchase the phone used to be there without any cover mostly and collected dust. Is it possible that what I am facing is because of this? Does anyone have any idea? Thanks. <TOPIC MERGED!> Edited June 26, 2005 by Vishal Gupta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AirCom 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2005 Hey dacodecz, could you please detail some of these tweaks maybe in a howto (on linux and windows)? Speeds of 10 kbps are not strange to me, I am getting these bl**dy speeds for 10 months now. And no config/virus problems here because i get such speeds on installed windows, linux and linux livecds.

AirCom 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2005 Also I observed this wonderful fact. I am getting normal speeds on my uploads, from 30 kbps to 70 kbps, but it is only the download on which i am stuck at around 10 kbps. Is there something wrong with the modem circuitry, modem's software level settings, or the problem is at the ISP end (Reliance) itself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rohitkaila 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 Hi, I am planning to take RConnect as I am moving to a location where there is no DSL. I currently use Airtel DSL 256kbps, which is pretty good. Can someone tell me if it is worth taking RConnect? How much bandwidth does it really give you in Bangalore? Also, do they block in VoIP or website or provider? I use VoIP calling through webPhone and Dialpad (both in US) a lot. So that is definitely a concern. Any input will be greatly appreciated. thanx, --rohit.

Ramchi 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2005 RConnect speed may vary depending on various parameters I believe. 1. Region or Place where you live 2. The plan you take. I do have Rconnect though I have not signed any specific plans with Reliance and I am getting very poor connection speed yet in comparison with Airtel GPRS it may be good [but Airtel GPRS charges me Rs 250 per month]; still the speed can not replace DSL or Broadband connections. There is an unlimited package available in Rconnect costs Rs 1500 Per Month but I am hearing some credit limit restriction which might pose some practical issues. Unless you need mobility plus internet connection together, going for Rconnect may NOT serve your needs and it may be bit expensive as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been using reliance for the past 2 yrs and trust me even though it might be expensive and slower than airtel (256 Kbps), it think its pretty good if u consider the mobility factor and convenience. There might be better services but since you are concerned with Reliance will come back to the topic.... R-connect download speeds are in the range of 13 - 16 kbps constantly over here in bangalore. I'm using LG RD 5130 and download 24/7. I download 6 GBs every week on an average, so download speed is decent. Just a word of advice, go for LG RD 5130 or 6130 with Original data cable and install the 230 kbps driver if u want to achieve these speeds; else u'll have to settle down with 8-10 kbps with the original drivers. Just search for the post, u'll able to find the 230 kbps driver link. About Voip, I've used dialpad and skype, and to be frank its not awesome by nay means....voice seems to be lost a few times but overall the experience is satisfactory if not good.....Surfing is also fair enough, though not at the speeds of downloading. Overall I'd say its good if u want it as a portable net service otherwise u could look at airtel (Undisputed BEST for their unlimited 256 kbps @ Rs 999/-) or Bsnl Dataone. Relaince is good if u want unlimited downloads and have no airtel covergae in your area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It gives a lot of errors and the speed is quite slow. I have no idea for high speed drivers for this phone plus the fact that its serial based makes it even more difficult to be tweaked. I suggets if u use the phone for extensive net surfing, u rather go for LG LSI 110 cordless (could probably excahnge it). It gives max possible speed and u don't need to purchase data cable as well as it uses a generic USB A to B cable. Don't know about the recently launched LG 350R, so can't comment on its performance.... Edited October 15, 2005 by TeeKay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raccoon 53 Report post Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) I'v been on BSNL DataOne for about a month now, and much as I hate BSNL, I have to admit that the connection is quite reliable and gives close to the rated speed. And they do test your phone line before giving the connection... Compared to my nightmarish experience with Hathway, it feels like a godsend! But BSNL customer support is ultra-pathetic ...if you have a problem, you could be screwed... Edited October 31, 2005 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
