An Open Letter To Mr. Lalit Modi

Airtel Broadband Doubles Speeds

March 11, 2010

Airtel Broadband seems to have doubled speeds for all it’s users. I have confirmed the same from users based in Chandigarh, Gurgaon, New Delhi/NCR and parts of Punjab. It could be a totally North Indian thing but until there’s an official word from Airtel there’s no proper way to explain this phenomenon. My 256 kbps [...]

HarryJerry is back

March 1, 2010

We’re up after a massive downtime of almost 3 days. Why? The domain and web hosting bills were due for annual payments. I remember I kept a reminder on my phone but after a recent firmware upgrade forgot to sync my calender with the PC backup. So while I was away to the hills there [...]
