FAQ
Who are we?
We are two University of Mauritius students. At the time of update, we are going to be in our third year of undergraduate studies in Computer Science. This might tip you off as to why we like writing about technology. We also like to share tips with our readers to make their use of computers and Internet more interesting and friendly.
We also live in Mauritius, so from time to time, we blog about events and news occuring on the Island for other fellow bloggers to read and comment on.
For now, we are only two and a some guest bloggers. Hope we’ll turn them into authors soon!
Why the nicknames?
Cuz it’s fun!
How can I contact you?
You can always email us at geekscribes [dot] editors [at] gmail [dot] com. We are always willing to reply your mails. BUT! We will not be replying to:
- Thank you mails.
- Questions about what have been written. Post your questions as comments.
- Mails without proper subject. Such emails will most probably be subjected to automatic deletion.
But! The fastest, easiest and safest way to get a reply from us is just to post a comment on the article you are interested in. We always take a look at your comments.
How frequently is the weblog updated?
It depends on availability of authors. We are still students! We got exams, assignments… and revisions. We tend to write in our spare time, so excuse us if at some periods, there is no update. Specially in test/exam periods. We’ll let you know.
How can you get updates?
We have two methods of content delivery:
You just need to subscribe and you are all set.
How can I help?
We don’t have any donations system for now. So the best way you can help GeekScribes is to spread the word about us, and get your friends and close ones to read our blog. It’s a great encouragement to see more readers. Whether on social-sites like Facebook, on Twitter or otherwise, if you are able to bring traffic to us, we’d be grateful.
Also, if you want to contribute an article, we encourage you to do so, provided it is relevant with our subjects – Technology, Internet, Anime & Manga, Graphics, Photography, etc… Contact us at our mail address if you want to help write articles here. We’ll have our guidelines up soon enough.

I am a subscriber to 512K ADSL. I prefer to get twice the speed instead of half the price. I value speed first. It doesn’t make much sense to have half the price with the same speed.
You are just going to spend the money you saved on electricity bills waiting for your downloads to end.
Whereas with twice speed with double speed, it means 1/2 electricity bills for me. But this would be a perfect world. I still pay the same electricity bills, but can download twice as much. I browse twice faster, and this means I do things twice as fast. Less waiting is much better for me.
That’s why I am grateful to Orange for doing something like this. I’ve always said that it’d be better if instead of price decreases, we get speed increases. It’s finally done. We actually got both. Speed increase and price fall.
You can choose what you want. If for example, you thought 512K was enough for you, you can downgrade your auto-upgraded line and pay Rs. 700 (almost 1/2 price), or keep the price, and get twice the speed.
As long as there is no capping, I’m a happy guy!

Hmm.. depends in which country you are.
In Mauritius, your best bets would be the usual suppliers:
Mercury, FastClick, Jacey, Compuspeed (I think that’s the name, it’s in Labourdonnais street) and maybe Pascal for some of their ASUS boards.
Quad Extreme, I don’t think you’ll get it for cheap here. You’d probably save by having it imported.

If you are an existing subscriber to Myt 256kbps line, would you prefer a reduction in monthly subscription fee like for adsl or do you prefer paying the same price for double capacity (as is the case with latest offer from orange mauritius)?
