Now the present cost of BSNL EVDO is rs 3500/- and p/m is 550+200 + taxes and bill will come to your home and yes it is unlimited with maximum speed of 2.4 Mbps

Dont know about billing much

ummm i am not sure about this but i think it is not necessary as it is just a USB modem just like reliance is giving internet through USB

It says "BSNL data card is based on the CDMA network".
Do all the other data cards like Reliance,Airtel or Tata Indicom work on the same principle.
Do the data cards work through the mobile towers

Yes this evdo data card works with the bsnl's towers... not all towers are evdo enabled thats why evdo is only available in select areas.

Thanks Admin....
The speed is different in different area in chennai... Chennai Telephones-Provision of Data Services on CDMA 2000 IX using NIC / EVDO cards- BTS Locations

In my area its only 144 Kbps
If it was around 2.4 Mbps...i would have gone for it...
I would have got rid of all those wires....no low SNR value problems....

Dude 144 KBps is awesome for a data card in India... Reliance, Tata indicom don't give more than 15-20KBps... And u won't get 2 MBps anyway even if u have normal wired broadband...

I think he meant 144kbps and not 144kBps.

If we get 144kBps unlimited at less then Rs1000 a month it would be great

I meant 144Kbps speed.
They (BSNL) are saying "upto 144Kbps speed".
which means it will be less than 144Kbps.
& anyhthing less than 144Kbps speed & paying around 500 is not worth.

Datacard might be useful for those who travel very frequently.

  • GPRS gives u a bullshit speed... 1-10 kBps...comparable to ancient dial-up..
  • Data-Card or evdo will give ya speed anywhr in between 10-20 kBps so good for browsing...
  • Broadband through landline will give you high speeds ranging from ~16 to 200kBps(its getting higher day by day) depending upon the plan you choose.. Its good for downloading large files.

In lay man terms Datacard/EVDO will catch signal anywhere the operator's signal for its mobile services are available... For example, If I'm travelling in a train with my Reliance handset and datacard... My datacard's signal n performance will be as good as my handset... i.e., normally good near a railway station but bad or no signal in remote areas...

Hope I answered ur query well...

I have used BSNL GPRS and the speed I got was 1-2 KB max. Even when I had full signal strength.
