My PC runs on WinXP Pro.I surf via dial-up conn. of SATYAM.But now whenever i try to connect,i gt this error message - "Error : 678.The remote computer did not respond." I call CustomerCare but they also r helpless :cry: Somebody please tell me how to solve this? Secondly,i'm planning to have AIRTEL MOBILE-OFFICE to surf web on PC.Here they charge 375K monthly for unlimited access.Is it a gud option :?: I have N70 phone connected via data-cable.I heared that connecting it via bluetooth gives more surfing speed!Is it true? Please ans. all my querries...THANKS FOR YOUR REPLIES!!! :razz:

I am using MO form Airtel for the last 12 months. It is not the best option but not very bad too. We will get 30-40 kbps max. Regarding connection, first you need to get it activated from Airtel. U can use any method, I mean bluetooth, cable, IR etc. For data transfer cable will be better but as the internet speed is not that much, it won't make any difference. My scheme was advance rental, that is Rs.125 per month (have to pay 12 months rental in advance). Just chk whether that scheme is still there.

MO provides u mobility. Speed these days is gud for MO but the rental has gone up to Rs.350p.m. So instead if mobility is not an issue, go 4 broadband

Yup... If you are gonna spend ~400 bucks for MO, you can get BSNL BB for 500 p/m.. That would be a better idea..!!

MO would be better option as the N70 supports EDGE. you'll get download speeds of 20-25 kBps

just sms for mo setting for your w550. when you receive the setting, just install it. make a internet connection in your pc using w550. for further assistance just call customer care mo.
