YouTube - Unboxing Iphone 4 & Reliance 3G test INDIA



For 3G skip to 3:38

Some screenshots ..

Reliance 3G actually gives a speed of 28 MBPS which is faster than any other operator in India. DOCOMO gives speeds of just 21 MBPS.
Besides Reliance has bagged the most circles in India at 19 and hence will give you the best coverage.

This guy is reliance representative and and is posting the same message every where.

Fcuk you up. The services from all 3G subscribers are very poor at the moment. It's just race to acquire more and more customers. AS tata launched it very early so they are rolling out untested and unstable services ...

Yep, agree with zillr.
Even if you use a HSPA+ Modem, you will get speeds around 10 mbps max. I think
