Looks attractive

But in this case if your MTNL phone goes dead, than u can't watch TV as well. That is a very negative point.

Not really...unless someone cuts the cable completely. Cable consists of three different lines, one each for telephone, broadband and iPtv....so unless the cable is cut completely, fault mostly occurs in one of the three lines, not all of them at one go. Those having DSL broadband must have seen their BB running even when the Telephone line is dead, or the vice versa...

i soon will have to apply for a mtnl landline connection...

dont know, but jst a random thought..

can the same be done via garuda mobile... or a gsm/cdma phone??

tv on the move with laptop+mobile.. like our internet??

[GSV13 0]

No lol it require a lot of bandwidth to stream it and our current wireless networks don't support it!! For this i think you have to wait till mid-2007

for 3G to be launched however don't expect it to be any cheaper like this.

cable doesnt contain 3 different lines. it contains 1 line but 3 different frequency bands are used!

[basant_jp 0]

When I say 3 lines, I do not mean three physical wires going through , but what I mean is 'three different channels'. DSL technology splits the normal copper line into three information channels. One carries data from the Internet to the computer, another channel transports data from the computer to the Internet and the third channel handles regular phone calls.

"Splitter" attached to the line assigns voice and data transmissions to different frequencies (as rightly said by linuxguy). Digital bits travel on the inaudible frequencies of the phone line. That keeps them separate, and that's why all the signals - voice and data - can work in parallel without colliding with each another. This is the reason that in most cases either of the service works even in case of faults...of course, it largely depends on the type of fault.

I used the words '3 lines' just to make it more obvious and easier to understand.

Cheers!

[Honest 836]

I agree with basant jp. I think we can still watch TV even when our phone lines goes dead.

Regards.

Not Really!! If the line is completely cut this is when it comes from pole or TelBox to our home this where 90% of complaints occur.

Remember we don't have three physical wires coming to our home but just two pair twisted copper wire.

So wire cut = Black Out!!

Only solution to solve it faster is bribing the lineman(add up to the cost)
