but just read exp. of few guys that its based on WLL so its unstable .can anyone confirm me in any circumstances what will be the minimum speed for a user

Signal may vary but i don't think the QOS varies.
I am using it for the past three months and its great for me.
During 3 months it was unavailable for max a week (due to OF Line) else
it is excellent.

As fr as speed is concerned its far better the BB UL 900 Plan.
In 900 Plan u will get 256 kbps while in this u will get 2.4 mbps rates speed.
(Real speed depends upon the signal strength but from my experience i am getting speeds of 100-225 kBps. I am getting max signal strength.)

Give it a try. What u r expecting for such a small price tag?

thanks for the info dear will surely try it

100KBps (800kbps) - 250KBps(2Mbps)

But today i talked to Customer care of BSNL and the commericial officer of BSNL for UP(W). They even don't know about it

Can U Please provide some screenshots

for rapidshare, torrents

Thanks

That is not unusual. Many a times I ask the BSNL people for any info, they have no idea about it.

Another question I have about EVDO is, can I use it on my desktop and laptop? Ordoes it work only on laptop?

Suvi, it is a USB Model so it can be used on any of the abovee.

There is one seperate model for Laptop (PCMCIA Model)

in nagpur the service has launched but with the speed of 144kbps for both plans
PCMCI and USB based .and they dont know when they will be able to serve the speed of 2mbps.

very few places currently support 2mbps as this service is in a testing phase & for now available only in small/remote areas mostly with 2mbps.if they start offering it in big cities & towns now everyone will quit bsnl broadband & start using EVDO.

hi ,in kerala EVDO is useless. In centre of COCHIN i m getting downloading speed of 4-10KBp/s on torrent. can anybody help me

read my reply to your post
http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...html#post15528 (BSNL DATACARD WITH 2.2MBPS SPEED!!! NEED SMaLL HELP!!)

Low speed can also be due to the towers which doesn't have evdo connectivity, and support only 144kbps.

i guess it depends a lot on which area you are currently in!!!different areas different speeds!!

Hi all,
At present EVDO service is given only on circle basis, but soon it will be provided on all india basis.
There are certain settings which are currently circle based.
EVDO (Evolution Data Optimized) is a data optimized CDMA network and hence uses a username and password as well as an Electronic Serial Number
So there is nothing like short range and long range, it works where signal is available
Currently only a few BTS (Base Transceiver Station) supports EVDO and upgradation process is in progress all over India.

Hi,i am a new user of bsnl 3g evdo.I want to say that i am getting only10-30 kBps speed.I am from jaipur.Recently i was using bsnl unlimited home plan and getting about 60 kBps speed.What happened now to me?I have used tcp/ip optimizer,magic tweak etc. but no result.Please help me.I am in a big trouble.
Thanks in advance.

well guys i m frm lucknow n jus wanna know is it available here..........??????

There is an interface i assume, from where you dial right?
what is the signal strength shown there?

Explore some ways to enhance reception if the signal is weak in your area for instance a bigger aerial for better reception or even try different locations in your house as it does make a lot of difference on how deep you are inside a building.

How is the adsl working? Is it wired or wireless?

adsl is wired.you get a modem which is connected to your telephone line.this modem is then connected to your computer/laptop using cable.you can also get a wireless modem & then you don't have to connect it to your computer using cable.

Can anyone tell me that whether the EVDO modem driver is working for Vista or it is working for XP only?

hi guys .. can anyone let me know if evdo is available in kanpur.. UP(E) .. if anyone is using it .. then let me know cause these guys in the bsnl office know nothing.. thanks!!

Can someone list the exchanges in Bangalore that has EVDO support?

hi,i am using my friend's EVDO modem in bhubaneswar. I got maximum speed upto 1 mbps and using DAP i got download speed upto 100kBps. the signal strength and speed is consistent..

So all I have to do is get this wireless modem and data one connection and I have wireless connection in that modems range(what is it like 10-50-100 meters?) in my home. Am I correct about this one?

yes.. inside it should work inside your home.. if you place your router in the right place, centralized away from cordless phones,microwaves,walls etc

Are the router you mentioned and the wireless modem from bsnl the same things?

well it depends.. there are two types of routers.. normal wifi routers and adsl wifi routers.. adsl wifi routers are similar to modems..they are able to dial the dsl connection(ppoe).. normal wifi routers cannot dial the connection, they are used to extend your network, provide wifi etc etc

Which one is the kind BSNL is providing for Rs. 1800?
