Thread: Has any one tried this?

hi i got brochure from bsnl office recently.....n saw wireless internet for 250 only speed 144kbps......im not cocerned abt high speeds coz i use the net to kill time ......n 250 is pretty cheap for 144 i guess.....i would like to know has any one used this plan? if so.....is there any kinda prob with that?????

its given its only on CDMA 2000 IX(wll)........wats that mean........plz let me know.....

WLL and the latest EVDO/NIC broadband are two different things,please be clear about what you want.

First thing:-
What do you really want,if you are looking for BSNL EVDO/NIC ,there are two schemes,

1.unlimited-2.4 mbps-3500/-(start),550/month,
2.unlimited-144kbps-2800/-(start),250/month,

For
connection -1 you'll get good speed even for only web browsing,

but for

connection-2 you may not get the full speed for browsing,the connection will be definitely slow,if yoo can do with that, then its ok.

and for WLL,its "wireless local loop".

I am in a hurry I'll clarify more about CDMA soon.

BSNL is offering up to 2 mbps for 250 and why do you want to go for such low speed internet, although wireless. YOu can go th bsnl's 250 plan which has a very good speed.

Well but the merit for wireless is,its unlimited unlike wired 250(1GB limit)

if one keeps this 144kbps connection on for 24 hrs(very unlikely if the person is using this on a laptop) he can only be able to download 1GB in a day & if the person is taking this connection only to surf then 1GB limit in 250 plan is enough for normal browsing & chatting.

Well ,I agree,for the speed is 144kbps. but for BSNL BB wired connection 250/- the speed is upto 2mbps,you'll make a easy 100MB with only surfing 5hrs in one day,as you can browse much more web content in limited period unlike 144kbps as speed is low.

is EVDO pricing only 3500?!!!!!!!!!!

check this site for more details Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited - BSNL EVDO - Details and Review

Yes the one with speed 2.4 mbps is 3500/-
but the one you are looking for(144 kbps) is 2800/-
no doubt

can any one give me an idea abt how many mb's will b consumed if i browse for around 7-8 hrs a day......? no downloads......just browsin n chattin.....i use cam.......i feel if i go for 250 plan it wont b sufficient for me.....ill b happy if i get a speed of 100 or 110kbps consistently......coz im a damn slow YOU Telecom connection in which the download transfer rate never goes beyond 6Kb/sec....

7-8 hrs a day with browsing,chatting & cam i think you may cross the 2.5GB limit in home 500.to be safe i recommend home 1000 or unlimited plan of home 900.you can go for home 500 but always keep an eye on total data transfer after each day as bsnl counts both upload & download & therefore your cam's outgoing video will also eat your available monthly data tansfer.

then i think i have to go for WLL connection which provides 144kbps at 250per month...which is pretty cheaper when compared to 500 permonth for YOU telecom.....i hope i get more than 100 kbps consistently........i dont download much......infact very little......ill b happy if i get 10kb/sec transfer rate

its your choice but before taking this WLL connection check from anyone who has this connection what are the usual average speeds.

thats y am askin over here........i know no one from my city........anyways....i think i have to ask the bsnl guys itself.....

Voice calls over the internet take up about 35mb per hour and if you are using a cam along with the voice you may end up using somewhere in the range of 70-100 mb of data transfer per hour if the resolution you use is average types and it also depends what application you use for video and voice.

I would suggest you go for an unlimited plan as you are a heavy user.

I do agree with Admin,after all when unlimited is same price as BSNL wired,why not go for wireless unlimited,and as you are using cam you'll easily make 500MB a day,but first check for your area coverage,because the speed of EVDO/NIC completely depends on the signal strength.

evdo is not available in my city yaar.......only WLL is available i guess.......has any one used this service??????

well in any case this WLL services will be faster than your YOU telecom connection so why not give it a try.

well thx for the advice........i went to bsnl.....they said itll work in my area.......goin to appply tomm....for WLL phone.....wat r the initial charges for that.....any got any idea?i know that 250 permonth.......any installation charges guys?

since its WLL you may have to deposit some security for the CDMA phone.

is the security deposit refundable????

usually it is if you return the equipment.

yaar one more doubt.....if i get an cdma WLL phone......where should i connect....i mean.....do i have to use the USB slot or can i hook the cable in my oonboard lan card.......i have no idea......plz tell me

here is the bsnl FAQ on WLL
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.

according to this--

Can Internet be accessed from WLL-FWT line ?
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.

this means usb port i think.
