I have used BSNL EVDO and NIC, BSNL GPRS, Airtel GPRS.

BSNL EVDO-
- Speed varies from 10kBps to 200kBps, you may get less than 10kBps and more than 200kBps in one house at different places.
- Try before you buy.
BSNL NIC-
- Speed is constant but the signal disappears sometimes without any clue and you may suffer for that.
- Download speed closes to 21kBps.
BSNL GPRS-
- The cheapest 99/- unlimited on prepaid(Odisha only,don't know about the rest)
- Browsing speed is ok.
- forget about any major download, speed max is 5kBps.
Airtel GPRS-
- Browsing speed is good,download speed closes to 13kBps MAX and avg speed is 9kBps.
- consistant speed,300/- unlimited(Odisha only)

Reliance Data card...

Good for Browsing.
Download 20 KBps max.

I am using Wifi4india USB receiver and getting 256 Kbps at browsing and 28 Kbps to 30 KBps as download.

I Purchase it at 2200 equipment and monthly 700 fix unlimited. they also have 2 Mbps also but charges are very high...

puchu · 03-03-09, 12:16 PM

anybody with TATA photon .........................................?

Harpreet · 03-05-09, 03:45 PM

I have used a Reliance Data card connection, and i found it to be very good, it never got disconnected, gave a good speed and connection was very easy. I have only had a few signal problems, but this was because i was in a remote area, but otherwise i found that for mobile connecrions Reliance data card is good, and worth trying out f a mobile connection is required.

puchu · 04-15-09, 09:16 PM

I heard that TATA photon unlimited usage plan has been withdrawn, is it true ?

And what about the ad showing 16mbps speed Airtel BB.

04-15-09, 10:17 PM

I have used

TATA INDICOM SURF TO WHIZ

->very slow
->no disconnections
->very very costly plans
->No unlimited plans

BSNL EVDO

->Good speeds but variable
->very good plans / costwise
->Does nt work in many places ... signal reception is very poor
->Not available in many areas

I am using

Reliance BB+

->Plans are good
->Excellent speeds
->excellent signal reception
->3.1MBPS currently the fastest Wireless internet provider
->minimum speed :-468kbps (tested in a remote village)
avg speed:- 2.xmbps
max:-3.1 mbps
->very user friendly (the device)
->No unlimited plans (Fair usage policy)
->No linux client

panchabhut · 04-16-09, 02:00 AM

As on date, Reliance EVDO (BB+) is possibly the best wireless option avaialable with full mobility and very good speeds, anmd relatively good plans. The only drawback is the Fair Usage Policy.

PS : i just discovered that you can configure wvdial+Genome-ppp (in Ubuntu) or kppp(in Kubuntu) to use BB+ ....... works perfectly in Linux without a client

puchu · 04-19-09, 02:56 AM

Good to know, will try it now.

Tanmaya · 06-29-09, 06:46 PM

this is really good and useful information, tanks for this! But does anyone have detailed on the other wireless internet services?

SledgeHammer · 07-01-09, 03:28 PM
