Thread: EVDO or Broadband

For me it cost Rs. 1750/- initially. I couldn't understand these BSNL guys.

Is there any standard rate of their services.

Different exchanges charge different rate.

Note: (Service Tax : 12.36% in U.P.)

Also when i applied for home 500 plan of DataOne they charged Rs. 2550 initially. The modem is on rent. Is it same there

can anyone confirm this service availabilty in UP(West) circle?if yes then EVDO speeds of 2.4mbps are available or not as most people who are claiming such speeds are from south india.also mention the city where you are getting this service.

i am from UP East. So i cann't confirm the availability of this service is UP West. I am from Sonbhadra District (Near to Varanasi).

I also wish to share one thing that this EVDO service was launched before the Broadband Service. Also it was first of its kind in the country.

May be i am lucky to use this service before the others.

rock_daring can you post a screenshot of average speed achieved during downloading some big file(say a 700mb movie torrent or some linux distro using uTorrent or some big setup like ditectX 9c sdk from microsoft site using a download manager like flashget).please download full file to get an accurate idea.

If this is what u r gettin thro EVDO service you better stick to it. the broadband unlimited plan offers only 256 kbps, and the download speed is always below 50 KBps, at a cost of Rs. 900/ month.

this is what i want to be sure about.none of the people here have posted any screenshot of such average speeds while they downloaded a large file(>100mb from http or 700mb torrent).all they are posting is results from sites such as speednet.i want to be sure about getting good average speeds rather than getting 200KBps for a few minutes & 40KBps for the rest.

and connection stablity?

Is this EVDO data card from bsnl available in Gurgaon or Noida by any chance? anyone?

hey guys, could u pls tell me how much ping do u get with evdo connection ?

and please specify which connection u r using 2.4 or 144 one ?

Hey...I am shifting to Bangalore for a month in Feburary and will be staying close to Whitefields. Will the EVDO card work over there?

try going for home 500 combo+

2.5 gb download
night unlimited(2 am to 8 pm)

Thanks Niraj. But will it work in Whitefields...as a lot of the messages here say that it only works in specific areas? Where can i buy one?

yes of course it will work.. u can buy one from bsnl exchange...(marketing)

I'm from Bangalore, and planning to go fot EVDO...

How is the connection stability? I am currently using reliance wimax 300 kbps unlimited plan... wimax sucks!!! a lot of downtime...

Can any one tell where is the official link of the EVDO, as tried to find it but couldnt got it. i want to know if it is available in Bihar and Chandigarh.

Thanks

i have seen the bsnl official page but can't find it now.however rest assured EVDO is available in very few places.also this service's speed varies greatly.you will get speeds of 144kbps for cdma network until proper equipments are installed at your local exchange so notice carefully before taking it as you may get an EVDO card but not necessarily high speeds as CDMA(1x) 144kbps speed is available everywhere & for both speeds(2mbps or 144kbps) you will get the same data card.

Thanks for the info..ill keep on checking the bsnl web site for any update. I hope in Chandigarh they must have the proper exchange installation.
