| Junior Member | Dear members, I currently have a prepaid LAN based (metro E) type connection and web based login. (no adsl modem, only lan wire) Blocked ports have created a havoc for me, I cannot even connect my yahoo webcam now and talking to TATAs about port forwarding is like greek and latin for them. If nothing works out, then i m planning to take paid static IP Request feedback from all users of this forum for the following : 1) Does static ip mean that all ports are by default open ? Will prepaid / postpaid make any technical difference ? Is there any user with static ip , but still with blocked ports ? In short, postpaid = free static ip + open ports prepaid + paid static IP = open ports ????? --->>> yr comments Last edited by tusharch; 06-18-09 at 08:13 AM. |

| Aditya | I suggest you to pick postpaid connection and i am really not very sure about any prepaid plan. you should not face any such problem in postpaid connection with static ip, still if you want to go for portforwarding then get one router for yourself and config it according to your needs. |

I am not sure if Tata is doing that and just for testing why don't you get an router to check if portforwarding is helpful or not. If Tata is blocking P2P traffic then also they can not block it on 24*7 basis, it should be applicable for peak hours only. Please check and update. | |

So as a service to all I am translating this to English. -F "But the problem in our city is that they have blocked the peer to peer download protocol and not the ports. The ports are unblocked because we get tracker status OK but can't connect to any peers. I spoke to a Tata engineer today and he said they are not going to unblock it no matter what. The same goes for postpaid connections, and we can't connect a router anyways." See how much better this is. | |

-F Dear Smoothvibes , the above has been admitted by the Tata engineer. He said they blocked that protocol and they are not going to unblock it ever. It is not just me but there are around 25 of my friends and we all are going to storm into the Tata head office on Friday to get this issue resolved because they have no right to block the protocol. They might call security and arrest all of us and beat the hell out of us in the lockup, but we don't care, we need to download stuff illegally and Tata has no right to prevent it. (added the last line myself ;-)) Why do you say that? Is it somewhere in your contract where they specifically mention that they won't block it? Otherwise they can do whatever they want. -F Last edited by Punch Farce; 06-25-09 at 12:33 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost | |

Rep Power: 2 | @tusharch If the service provider blocked torrents in protocol level and applied to everyone or set of users, then Static IP or Dynamic IP doesn't matter. It will be blocked for both of them. So do not go for Static IP before getting confirmation from ISP. Also buying router will not solve this problem as ISP blocked the protocol. So the only way is to question them. But if ISP says and shows you some legal and compliance issues then we can not question them much. |

Rep Power: 1 | Illegal @farce ? i can give you 13 legal torrent sites wherein you can download free legal torrents...and yeah...i gave the list to the mumbai nodal officer she admitted that i am right but they had no other option because p2p consumes alot of bandwidth....an yeah its written in my contract that they cant block p2p(torrents)...when i got it installed i specifically asked the tata engg whether i can download torrents or not...he said definitely yes if not claim your money back...and now dont be so stupid to ask me to claim my money....because ther is no other isp in my city providing 4mbps night unlimited internet.... |

There is nothing like that written in my contract and i really don't think they will consider verbal contract or agreement. | |
