And here we get latest EIG cable i.e Euro India Gateway cable in action. Although cable was up few months back, but it’s now we are getting some changes in routing table up. (Probably earlier was test mode?).
Here’s a map of EIG cable. This was very interesting project because of few reasons - firstly it is one (of few) cable consortium’s where India’s biggest State owned telco BSNL (also known as NIB - National Internet Backbone).
And Ubuntu 11.04 released yesterday.
I will do a seperate blog post reviewing Ubuntu 11.04 specially the new Unity interface, but for now I am trying to help Linux community by additonal mirror.
Incase you are going to download Ubuntu - I would encourage you to use this mirror for Asian and European region.

Update: Mirror has been removed as of now. author: “Anurag Bhatia” url: “/2011/04/web-hosting/ubuntu-11-04-additional-mirror/”
Keep spreading the Linux!
I can see heavy confusion on what is 4G? So thought to make a blog post about it.
Some people even feel like….
:) Let’s try to understand from basic definition about 4G.
As per ITU - 4G refers to wireless technologies which gives as fast as 1Gbps speeds when one is stationary, while 100Mbps speeds when one is on move. That’s it. Full stop.
1Gbps!!! Really? Well, that’s “just in defination”.
Which DNS resolver is better - ISP’s (default) DNS resolver, or Google Public DNS or the pioneer of DNS openDNS or even a local DNS server?
Let’s try to find out! I am sitting on a BSNL data link, and I will try to perform few tests to find that out: Available DNS resolvers to me:
BSNL DNS resolvers - 218.248.255.194 & 218.248.255.196 Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 OpenDNS - 208.
Recently lucky mobile users in Haryana got MNP i.e Mobile Number Portability.
I too ported my number out from Airtel to Tata Docomo. Reason remains the super slow GPRS network (yup gprs, not even upgraded to EDGE in most of Haryana) and crazy service activation followed by irritating sms’es.
Here’s my experience with MNP: It took around 20 days in porting of my number, and technically speaking - process is yet not (hundred percent) completed even after a month!
