To fool those who don't read through all the conditions!!

Yes. its so very characteristic of the Ambani clan.

Service now launched.
Will be available for retail customers from 17th.

Have they capped Night Unlimited add on pack for 10 GB too?

yes. seems to be so.

whether we will able to get the full speed all over the city.

check the coverage maps on the official site. Areas where full EVDO is available has been indicated
Reliance Netconnect

Even I am planning to buy one... But my city (JAMNAGAR) is not included in the list. Does that mean I wount get the connection?
:cool2:

unfortunately, not for the moment.
But Jamnagar is an important town. so may be soon enough it will also be covered.

I got a usb modem last week got the 5gb plan it is Rs1000 something. Gives good speed in Delhi and Mumbai.. yet to try it else where.

5GB is actually a lot of data transfer if its just for work and in my opinion its the best mobile broadband connection available in India right now It would be great if Reliance could cover atleast the national highways and provide mobile broadband for those who travel by road.

Nice to hear from you... Pretty busy these days.. huh?

And I agree with you that reliance is best mobile broadband connection... And the speed is good enough for browsing...

Welcome back Admin Ji. Hope your deals went through nicely.

Yes, for the present Reliance is the best mobile broadband option. And the level of response they are getting would sure tempt them to expand the service as fast as possible.

hey is there a additional charge for roaming (nat) ??

As already indicated in post #2 Full Roaming at no extra charge (except plan 6). Card changes to CDMA 1x mode (144 kbps) in cities not covered under EVDO.

ohh sorryy i missed that post,

i wiish bsnl starts nat roaming as well

So do I. but BSNL uses the Tarang WLL (landline) infrastructure for their EVDO cards. So roaming is not possible till they shift to full mobility mobile CDMA.

Request to MODs
Pl. move this thread to the appropriate segment
Mobile Broadband>Reliance Netconnect

I tried and it gives me consistent amazing speed of 350-400 kbps.. Planning to buy it but no plan seems to be good for me

Looks great.

So far I have been using wired Broadband by BSNL for my desktop. Soon I am going to buy a laptop and planing to have either Reliance or BSNL EVDO.
But there are few things I need to know, I would be glad if anyone clears them.

1. I am a heavy downloader. On Reliance's site, it says "Nil" for Night usage for plans like Broadband+ 5 GB or Broadband+ 3 GB which I would love to have. But I want to know, is this 10 GB limit applicable for Night usage too? Or is it like BSNL's Home 500 - 2.5 GB Day, Night Unlimited? It would be great if it is so!

2. Most important : Would I be able to use either of 'em (even with some tweaking) on a Linux distribution?

3. Sorry for asking a lil' irrelevant to this thread, but what is the exact difference between BSNL 3G and BSNL EVDO?

Yes FUP is there.

It wont be a problem, It should work.
