India’s most popular online retailer Flipkart slashes the price of popular quad core based handset HTC One X. HTC One X was initially launched in India at a price tag of Rs. 37,899. However we can also take into account the fact that one can already purchase the same phone for Rs. 36,000 from some local retailer if he/she knows the concept of bargaining. But still Flipkart being India’s best and trusted online shopping website and a price cut by them will effect a larger audience as compared to the varying pricing by the local retailers. Presently it is priced at Rs. 36,099 for both white and brown grey colours at Flipkart.

Is Reliance broadband shaping torrent traffic?

Reliance is a well known ISP in India and is also one of the few ISP’s which offers FUP free plans to it’s customers. But still they cannot become as popular as BSNL and Airtel. Well the reason for this that they are intentionally shaping the web traffic using hardware equipment’s located at their back end. There are many reports from various Reliance users throughout the country on public forums that they are not getting the promised speeds while downloading content form torrents.

Reliance also produce films and whenever they release their movie, they are known to block all the file sharing websites and forces other ISP’s also to block the file sharing websites by issuing them the court order! This definitely causes a lot of trouble for legitimate users as they cannot share important files with their colleagues or family.

As Reliance provides FUP free plan, their networked is abused to a much greater extent which spoils of other legitimate users and gamers. Reliance is definitely not good for gamers as they are know to have huge problems with their routing to Indian and international servers.

Just recently Reliance user are experiencing lot of problems while opening twitter on their computers. Though this was resolved after few weeks. So i will suggest you to think twice before going with Reliance.
