PTCL Brings Back its 2MB DSL Broadband is a post from: ProPakistani

PTCL, which had discontinued 2 MB DSL broadband package, is again offering its customers with 2 MB DSL broadband at Rs. 1,499 per month.

PTCL’s website says that the new 2Mb data rate as a promo will be offered to all existing 1Mb customers who upgrades to 2Mb at the existing monthly charges of 1Mb for a period of 3 Months without any additional charges.

After 3 months the prevailing monthly tariff of 2Mb of Rs 1,499 will be applicable. This discount for three months is only valid for the upgrade customers of 1Mb to 2Mbps.

This move of brining back 2 MB DSL is apparently due to the fact that LDN, Micronet, Cybernet and other ISPs were offering 2 MB at around of less than Rs. 1,499, where as PTCL had discontinued its 2 MB DSL package.

Earlier, PTCL had upgraded all 2 MB DSL customers to 4 MB and had discontinued 2 MB package.

This was a good move, however, those customers without PTCL's fiber-optic network to their door-stop were left with no option but to avail 1 MB DSL (as copper wire doesn't support 4 MB DSL) or to move to other ISPs offering 2 MB.

PTCL Broadband packages now available for customers

1Mb @Rs 1,199
2Mb @Rs 1,499
4Mb @Rs 1,999
6Mb @Rs 4,999
8Mb @Rs 6,999
10Mb @Rs 9,999

Note: PTCL offers wi-fi routers for wireless internet with additional rental of Rs. 200 per month. However, this service has no extra cost for broadband customers having Smart TV.

Benefits and key Highlights:

Range of available Data rates from 1Mbps to 10Mbps to suite customers unique requirements and needs accordingly

Computer Tips From A Computer Guy

Insert Comments into an OpenOffice Writer Document

Posted: 30 Jan 2011 03:40 AM PST

Collaborating with other writers can be a chore when you share documents and can’t leave notes for the next person who works on the project. A welcomed addition to Microsoft Word a few versions ago, you can similarly add comments to an OpenOffice Writer document. Learn how to insert comments into OpenOffice Writer to make sharing a work more convenient and efficient.

Why Add Comments When Sharing a Document?

You’ve probably heard the adage that ‘message sent is not always messaged received.’ This is especially true when collaborating with others and sharing a document. People who share documents often make assumptions about where the work is headed and what needs to be done next. You need a way to convey important information to the next collaborator to make sure he/she knows what to do.

The best way to do this in a text document is to leave comments or notes right in the text itself. E-mail messages and other ways to transmit information do not stay with the document the way internal comments do. Inserting comments into an OpenOffice Writer document is just as convenient and efficient as inserting them into Microsoft Word.

Insert Comments into an OpenOffice Writer Document

Open a new or existing Writer document and locate an area where you would like to add a comment. For our example, we want to alert the next editor of the document that a fact needs to be checked before moving on to the next step.

Select the text you want to point out and click Insert>Comment. You can alternatively use the Ctrl+Alt+N shortcut if you find yourself often inserting comments.

You’ll notice that a comment instantly appears in the right margin of the document similarly to how comments appear in Microsoft Word. Type in your comment and then click on the text of the document to continue editing.

Notice that the comment contains not only the comment itself, it contains the author and the date the comment was added. This can be invaluable when tracking down who said what and when it was said.

Note the arrow in the lower right hand corner of the comment. This arrow gives you access to three useful comment features. You can use this arrow to open a menu and delete any single comment. You can also use this menu to delete all comments made by a single author. Finally, you can use the arrow to delete all comments in the document. That last one can be dangerous so be sure you’ve checked the content of all comments before you delete them. You may inadvertently delete a comment that contained important information.

Using the comment feature in OpenOffice Writer, you can add comments to a document similarly to how you add comments to Microsoft Word. What’s more, the author and date is captured right on the comment itself. This helps you keep track of who wrote the comment and when the comment was written. Using the arrow and menu, you can delete a single comment, delete all comments made by one author, or delete all comments in the document.
