^It has.I saw people over Broadband India forum literally calling up their contact centres & reporting this issue to them.I just shooted out a mail & got the same automated response as usual from those dimwits.Nevertheless, if they fix it then well & good else it's going to really cost them a lot of customers.:mad:

when I got yet another RS link from a friend, I too faced the same issue sometime back.

Just because some of them tried to hack the RS accounts, doesnt mean they have to block the whole segment.I totally disagree with their actions.

RapidShare Started Working

RapidShare has removed the IP Ban
So you can enjoy now
The file download service was available when there was IP Ban
Only the login or upload service was not available during the IP Ban
I am sure the hacker tried to hack the Points or tried an SQL Injection on the website

Sorry i think i named the topic wrong,i thought it was only bsnl.
but actually they have banned all the ips from 59.90.0.0 to 59.99.255.255 so it can be bsnl or mtnl or anyone. and it also means not the whole bsnl/mtnl is banned.
