Thread: BSNL's New USB Data Card

BSNL has launched new USB data card for interenet. It costs only Rs.225 per month and gives unlimited acces. Speed is quite good. But if somebody feel that the speed is low just type "netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted" without the " signs in the Command Prompt. Be sure to run the Command Prompt with Administrator right...The surfing and download speed will effectively increase..

BSNL already launched data card in gujarat @ Rs.250/- pm unlimited download ,speed is good but in ur area ur lucky that tarrif is less just tell me the intial charges for purchase and also tell if we dont want to purchase then rent of card and also tell whether romming is available on data card

Its launched it Jaipur also, some time back and it was a major hit.

Right Now, no new EvDO connections are being issued in Jaipur

Any ideas why? The network is already saturated? Or there are no takers for the same?

No this is not the Reason data cards are not having high speed they are having up to 144 Kbps but evdo is having more speed up to 2mbps and evdo is easily available where BB is not feasiable. for more speed people are diverted towards EVDO

initial charge to buy the equipment is Rs. 2800. It also has rental plan. If you have bsnl lanphone in home then you can rent this with a Rs. 1000 refundable deposit. In that case the rent is Rs. 100 per month, i.e you have yo pay Rs. 325 per month with rental plan,,,,

just go to bsnl website and search your location in bsnl units. see if it has been launched in your area also...

yes it is launched in our location but roaming facility is not there in data card

Okay could some one be kind enough to post reviews and pricing and listing

I think only MTNL provides service in delhi. Maybe u can try with them.

I found something close to this http://wifine.mtnl.net.in/services.htm

Well i went and got me a voucher in noida and well he (BSNL chap) told me to buy it one time fees of rs 4193 and for rent a one time fees of rs.2281.Now this is for NIC

and there is something called EVDO card which costs 5202 and on rent rs.2562
monthly rent varies form 250 to 500 for NIC and EVDO respectively

Hey, whats the speed of this data card ?

It depends on lot of users mainly Signal Quality,No of Users ACtive etc.

When i used this, i got around 400kbps to 700kpbs speed average which is very good as its unlimited.

You asking me??

I am guessing that you are asking me so here is the speed details as per the phamplet i got

For EVDO cards
Internet speed upto 2.4mbps

For nic cards
Internet speed upto 144kbps

If i were you then i would be buying EVDO cards ,what ever that means

Data card supports max of 144kbps

U are speaking of EVDO which promises 2.5mbps and gives 700kbps-1 mbps

Edit : Seems like Tejaswy beat me into it !!

if there are more subscriber then u will not get 144 kbps speed at that time it is just ok

Lol, yes.
I was reffering to Evod card, sorry for misleading post

what does EVDO mean anyway?

and what is the difference between EVDO and NIC.
Both of the cost approx the same

Earlier i had written about this on my blog:
Everything About BSNL EvDO Data Card | Gaurish Sharma Live


copying from there:

What is CDMA 1x ?

CDMA 1x is the previous version or the older version of EVDO which has speed upto 144kbps. As EvDO is still in Nascent stage of deployment very few areas have Evdo BTS (base transmitting stations), rest are still CDMA 1x. If BTS near you is not Evdo enabled then you will get CDMA 1x speeds of upto144kbps.

also a nice site for information:
