BeamTelecom ups its speed from 4Mbps to 15Mbps

You wont believe this, but, I got a text from BeamTele.com (was beamcable , only available in Hyderabad) that the connection speed has been upgraded to 15Mbps . I am not aware if this is temporary or permanent. I ran over to speedtest.net to verify the authenticity of the text. The Speedtest site uses Flash to pull up the numbers and here are the results.

The sad thing is there no word about the FUP (Fair Usage Policy) which I think is not some thing present outside of India for broadband connections. 

This is to say, that BeamTele.com is doing very good at this in Hyderabad. By the way, BeamTele.com also provides a free antivirus for windows. 

You know that the disk space is limited even though there is such a good internet connection. Guess I have to stick with live streaming 🙂

rainy season already ?

So much for not bothering about the yahoo forecast in Hyderabad. It was around 5’o clock in the evening when I bothered to see the status of weather outside and it was dark. It was like in the Harry Potter movies, where in it becomes dark when Voldemort is around.

My bike got drenched in the heavy rain alongside with me  20 continuous minutes with water in order to get home from work. Water levels were close to 1/3rd height of the bike’s tyre at places where the road is irregular. It was ugly ride. Things were not good for me from the past couple of weeks and this looks like its starting to worse things. Long live the sun !

Tycoon’s on the desk

I was searching for a game called “European War Cossacks” in the south India’s biggest mall, HyperCity. I would have been happy with any edition of the game, but I found a Tycoon game.I thought ‘wow’ ! Its the Zoo edition and I continued to search for  the Roller Coaster edition.  I played Roller Coaster Tycoon(a lot) and Zoo Tycoon when I was in school. And the cost of the game is just 300 bucks(INR). No wonder! Its been 8 years since the game was released. for PC 🙂

Adding to the post another random macro.
