I am using Nokia 6630.

Dude that is Rs 600 /month

dont you think that you are paying really really high price for a speed of 15 KBps were as BSNL is giving 2 Mbps

Yep you are right buddy but considering my requirement its good. As for the week days i use my office broadband connection of 5 MBPS and need a net connection only on week ends that too just for checking my mails, some wall papers download and reading blogs so its good to have Net (Rs 20*8days=Rs160 per month) with a good 18kbps that tooo considering the fact that its a GPRS.

OH! now i get it
You mean you pay only for the days your use, then it is very good
I taught that you need to pay Rs 20/Day for the whole month if you subscribe for the service

I m getting max 10 kiloByte/sec on W200i.

guys whn i ws using airtel gprs it used to be 4-5kbs both in karnataka as well as in delhi.....but with airtel data card it hovered around 13-15 kbps........the basic thing is u cannot use these speeds for dwnlding or uploading......it can only be usd to chk mails or just surfing the net......but with rel data cards it ws not so bad as the phon or the data card gives 15-17kbps....but still reliance is damm costlier thn airtel.....it is upon u ....weather u can afford to pay for rel or be happy at airtel.....

i am also using airtel gprs and getting speed around 5 -6 KBps which is maximum speed in gprs:surrender:

5-6 is what i get on my nokia 3500c

it's a class 10 EDGE enabled phone

How do you know that thw speed is around 6~7 kb...

there is a difference between bits(b) and bytes (B)
256kbps is = 32kBps

bcoz i hav checked it

If You Are Getting Slow Speeds smartflight It may be Cause You Are Using Blutooth Try A Direct data Cable Connetion . I AM Useing An N72 Connected Using A Data cable And Get Good Speeds Upto 22 kBps In HTTP And Torrents

in gprs most of the mobiles 0-4kbps and it may go till 8 or 10kbps but if you need more speed you should use 3g service or wifi on mobile

in 3g service u could get speed upto 3.6 mbps which means 450 KBps but u couldn't get unlimited plan they max of 10-15gb data transfer...... so the best way of internet is ur landline broadband.....

I think if you really want wireless broadband go for CDMA EVDO (Normally around 2mbps) from TATA indicom/Reliance/MTS or GSM edge (Around 200kbps)
from Airtel/Idea/Vodafone etc

i was using gprs before i got broadband...
i was getting speeds till 29kbps...constant at night..!!!!
was happy..
but now more happy..
getting 235kbps for broadband....

Airtel sim pripaid GPRS 15day plans speed better than monthly 502 Plans.....
I usess Airtel GPRS last one year nov-2008 to now.....I usse also Daily GPRS plan But 15 day plan speed is better.....i foun spee 4-8at monthly and 8-16 Kbps 15 Day Plan.....
But unlimited seric change its not better....It coustly now We can only 500mb free dowanlod after that 30p/50kb...on monthly plan ...another also ..

Now it is very costly...

Most of the times it used to be quite close to the speed I requested for the service unless there is some outage. I used it for over 2 years and I am quite happy with the service

It is different at different places. at cities the speed is better.

Yes thats true and it varies from region to region, but otherwise I am quite satisfied with the service
