Sonakshi Sharma's Restaurant Koramangala Bangalore - Frequent Wrong Billing

I visit this restaurant often. It is a small little restaurant in Koramangala near Wipro Koramangala - 2 / Wipro Park / Raheja Residency. Cost is reasonable and quality of food is good mostly. Only problem or an irritant is frequent wrong billing in the restaurant (first floor). It has happened 3 times in last around 8-9 visits. The rates in bill are often put higher than what is quoted in the menu and some times different items are added on the bills than what you ordered. On pointed out they (gentleman sitting on the first floor) will fix the bill. So watch out if you don't want to be overcharged. 

Have a nice day.

Reliance CDMA USB Data Card Connection - Huawei EC121

Recently started using this Reliance Data card connection service (USB version with Huawei EC-121 card) and thought of posting my experience after around a week of experience. 

In part I have used Reliance data connection using their WLL phone many years ago and it was reasonably good at that time. Otherwise I have tried various other  ISP connections in India including Airtel, Tata Indicom and BSNL. My main connection stays as BSNL broadband which is quite good and this new Reliance connection is a backup or for use when I am not in office or home. 

First impression on this new connection - Very Bad, highly unreliable connection, Many times zero traffic rate even in areas where Reliance network signal strength is very good. It connects atmost every time with the network but you literally have to beg for each packet to arrive.. 

On a Saturday or Sunday evening a non working day when you would expect traffic speed to be really good, even that time almost no traffic. Sites like google are also not opening which are supposed to be really fast to open. Keep trying and trying once in a while some page opens. Looks like a major problem in their data network or DNS servers. Let me see if it is once a while problem or if it stays like this probably will have to try some thing else. 

Will update if I see any improvement.

Rest Later. Have a nice day
