Airtel's "Net Expert" - What is it?

[sakumar79]

Hi all,
Today, an Airtel rep came to my home and told me that he had to install this software called Net Expert on my system... Said it would diagnose problems in the connection... I told him I would have to check it out first before I install it on my comp...

Are all airtel customers getting this software installed? I am from Madurai... People from other cities, please post your experience with this software...

yes , this software is safe .

This will diagnoise your pc ( in case of any problems )and give some solutions before u have to call customer care

Yes, i got this installed on PC last week.

Basically, the 24x7 connections were on PPPOE setting in roter. Now they are doing all to Bridging. The software will just check if all setting are in place. You can also chat with tech support. IT also generates a request code....give that to tect support on phone and they will help you easily in solving the probs

LOL Then What did he do? do they have linux version also?

 

[aryayush]

Of course they don't.

I have to say though, BSNL is doing a really good job with DataOne. I took a connection for my uncle's home and I was apprehensive about the fact that they had Windows 98 installed on their computer. I thought I would have a tough time searching for drivers and what not but to my pleasant surprise, they gave me a CD which had an index.html file with information about how there is some problem in Windows 98 that Microsoft has released a hot-fix for and that I should install it first before installing the drivers. Not only that, both the hot-fix and the drivers were there on the CD itself. When the drivers were installed, it automatically asked me for the username and password and placed a shortcut on the desktop.
I have become a fan of DataOne. Plus, they also had drivers, etc. for Linux on that CD. And it was also mentioned that Windows XP and Mac OS X do not need any drivers. (Vista hadn't been released then.) Great stuff.

I use ubuntu too. The guy said: "Sir maine college mein linux padhne ke liye Rs. 15K jama kiya they but phir main gaya nahi wahan." He also gave his word to send another rep. who knew linux. But that guy never came.
The rep. was also unable to install the net expert on Win2k. He said he'll come on sunday and never came.

Once an airtel technician came to my home & upon looking my Windows XP desktop with Windowblinds & rest of the stardock apps he said "Linux hai kya" .

Then one came recently, & good thing he knew what Vista is.

You should ask the airtel people. I think this tool is for everyone who has a PC. Its just a set of tweaking apps and every braodband connection can profit from it.

Actually, they are not perfect technician. Airtel hire many such persons to do such simple click works. They know only how to do next-> next .

For rest problem, they dont have any words.

I have the Net Xpert software disabled from the start up registry. Also,for using the connection on my father's laptop, all I had to do was connect the cable, that's all, not one thing more!
