Is BSNL's WLL wireless unlimited internet @Rs.250 per month better than Tata Indicom Whiz wireless internet?
I m currently using Tata Indicom Whiz wireless internet. I dont find it good in terms of speed and cost-effective.Besidez the service, I find the rates very expensive than compared to BSNL wirless internet (WLL),which is at Rs.250 + rs 180 for phone rent = Rs.430 per month.

I m currently in theTata Indicom Whiz Rs.325 plan which gives me 30 hours of free internet after which I ll be charged 50p/minute during day time and 25p/minute from 0200-0800 hrs. I dont think Tata Indicom works for me.

I came to know about BSNL's WLL wireless unlimited internet @Rs.250.

I want answers to the following questions -

1.Is the internet speed better than Tata Indicom Whiz?

2.What is the download speed? The download speed for Tata Indicom Whiz ranges from 10Kb to 16kb.On using Download Accelerator,it ranges from 18kb-25kb,but it isnt that fast. Of course,I do understand that it is not broadband.

3.Since its unlimited internet at Rs.430 per month [Rs.250 + Rs.180(phone rent)],is there extra charge for downloading content from the web like audio or video files or watching YouTube Videos?

4.I have read on many forums that BSNL's WLL wireless unlimited internet @Rs.250 per month is cheap and best. Is it the best in terms of wireless internet?

Hope you will answer my questions.

Thanks.

hi guys.. dis will be my first post..
dint know dere were so many guys using WLL high speed internet coz bsnl wale told me dat dis service is very new.. so i got this big blue cuboid wireless modem and a normal landline phone, a big battery and a data cable wid me.

WLL net is very much okay.. m very near to d tower in my college.. so i get full signal strenght.

guys i hav some queries.. :
1. i am unsure about the tariff, as i don't hav some formal documentation regardin the new connection details, is dere a way to check it online.. like hav on my home fixed line broadband. i enter d phone no. on mtnl site and i get all d details bout current plan n everything, usage, etc

2. are there any hidden costs in dis plan.. its said to be 'unlimited' but dere were some posts above sayin dis might happen. i hav 250 + 180 ka plan plus phone calls. dat i might get a shock with the bill. :P

3. and.. :P is dere a way to increase d speed even more.. i get a constant 17KB/s down speed and jst a bit more wid torrents.

Heya theblur2,

Glad2kno u r usin WLL.

Is the connection good for downloads? Wat do u think?

Wats the average download speed? Also is it having good speed for browsing?

Y dont u try Download Accelerator software....U ll get it for download at Download.com. It shoots up ur download.My current Tata Indicom Whiz gives me a download of average 10K.....When I use Download Accelerator, it shoots upto 16-18K sometimes goes upto 25-30K,but cums down.
I tink Download Accelerator s effective....I think a new version has come out called Download Accelerator Plus (Version 9 or so). U should try it...Its pretty good.

I dont tink there r additional charges as far as I kno and the info I m gettin fr the forum....Its juz 250+180.....I ll b taking one next week.

Cheers!!

Yes. WLL-FWT set comes with built in modem. For accessing Internet you don’t need any additional modem. The following procedure may be followed for establishing Internet connection. 1. Connect RS-232 cable between your PC COM port and data port of FWT 2. In control panel select Add Hardware 3. In Modems menu select Don’t detect option 4. Set Modem as Standard 19.2 Kbps Modem 5. Save the settings and restart the computer Now your PC is ready to access internet. Use other steps like dial my connection and Internet explorer for accessing internet.

Hello,
I finally got the WLL. The speed s satisfactory. The browsing speed s OK to slow.On using download accelerator, the download speed shoots upto 15-16K. The network goes kaput after say 1 hour of internet and there are instances where you need to disconnect and then connect.
I better get used to it.Gettin internet@Rs.250 doesnt mean u get evating.
Its juz satisfactory!!!!
BSNL say speed for WLL is 144 kbps, but my laptop taskbar shows me 230.4 kbps...
Wonder wat dat means?
Beats me!!!

Does anyone know how to boost up the internet connection?
Any inputs would b valuable.
Cheers!!!!

admins.. a prob for you...

bsnl wll does provide okay okay speed.. m gettin wat dey promise... download managers and torrents do download at +/- 16 KB/s.

m into a lil gamin and i think 17 KB/s wud be okay for cs 1.6 or age of empires II.
but d real prob is dat the ping in speedtest.net is 1000+ dats y d bad lag in opening sites.. i think d bandwidth is alrite but pings suck big time...
m using bsnl wll 250 unlimited connection. some1 mentioned dis is due to shared static ip.. i googled around to lower pings and smbdy here has mention 'tree walk' but it seems too complicated at d moment.

so is dere sm other solution... like changin my default DNS server or by sm other means.. i got dis connection in hostel n its utility wud really be halved if i can't play Counter strike ....

and shud i post dis stuff elswhr ki ye post admins ki nazron mein aa jaye ??

i dont have broadband ...

is there a way to find latest driver for CP800P WLL phone/modem ?

why is it showing hardware failure ?

essbebe

Did not check the MB's required.!
Sorry. Noted for future. reference.
Usually all drivers are checked by MS for compatabilty
and say "digtally signed " and approved.
Usually most work without the certificate also

If your system crashes often with any new hardware
better to avoid using the Hardware.
Let us hope BSNL will come up with a solution.



REF:http://www.assam.bsnl.co.in/wll_data.html

only two models LG and Huawei listed. ( drivers at bottom of page)

.

i have searched the phone and also the box.. couldnt find any specific make except Linktop and drivers are dated back to 2004 !!!
