On Friday I booked my own Reliance netconnect broadband plus online, paid via ICICI bank transfer. And today at 11.00 I received the delivery of kit. First of all I am very happy that I got it within 2 days of booking, meanwhile on Saturday I got the confirmation call from their customer care.

At the time of delivery reliance guy will ask you to fill up a form where you have to mention the plan details, now this form is sent to their office and within 48 hours your plan will get activated, till than I have to wait, but I will share some images with you ppl.

First of all it comes with an international style DVD packing with seal. Insights there are 4 main components
1) The USB data card
2) Installation guide and CD
3) USB extension and
4) Warranty card

First time you have to install the device (very easy installation process hardly takes 5 mins) and next time it is plug and play. Now first thing you have to do after installation is launch Reliance netconnect broadband plus dialer, here you have to click on activate button (Reliance will be default profile) in activation process follow a voice instructions i.e. press 1 for hindi press 2 for English etc..

As I told you earlier my connection is not yet activated, so cant share user experience. But till now everything goes smoothly and I can’t wait to test the speed and other features with you…. Will share everything soon.. tc

In Chennai i get an average speed of around 2mbps


currently i am using the 2.5GB (No night unlimited) 850rs plan

i will be putting the 10GB night add on pack from next month (when it becomes available)

it has a windows xp and Mac dialer client .... it can be made to work on linux without a dialer ..... i own the USB modem not the data card

As of now this has received a lot of + reviews ... so lets see

NOT A GOOD PRODUCT!!!!!…. Reliance are cheaters… I’ve suffered a lot buying their internet service products.. my waivers are still unpaid..... I’m much satisfied with tata photon.

ShAdOwCoN

It depends on the area

Its been a few months since i bought this connection and uptil now i am very satisfied ..... I got exactly what i asked for ...... and speeds have been very consistent

My fren is using netconnect and unfortunately I wont agree about it giving a satisfactory service and speed. I get hopelessly stuck in between file tranfers even if its a small image or listening to a youtube link. The speed is not stable keeps on changing. Personally using it I will prefer never to use it till they sort out their so called speed issues.

Something smells fishy *sniff* *sniff*

hmmmmm ..........

Hold your horses now .......... i thought you said your friend was using it ?

This further adds to my suspicion . A 10mb file takes less than 5 seconds to download on the slowest day . But a small image ?? .... i hope you know the difference between kbps ad mbps .
An image however big takes less than a second to be downloaded . How can u get stuck ?
Show me one isp who gives consistent speeds in india and i will worship you .

Pri_dm

well do one thing come to my place and check urself :-) u will know and u wanna see my isp's speed? i have already posted in railwire threads u can check out there. and i know whats the difference no one needs to tell me wat it is but their add says 3.1 mbps while they dont deliver it.

PS. My fren stays nextdoor and whenever i am at her place i use her hsd for logging in and all. And i do use reliance hsd provided by my company. do u need many more of ur doubts to be cleares?

ShAdOwCoN

Just a minute , let me fill in this search warrant


Evdo theoretically gives you 3.1Mbps .. but practically u ll get much lesser .

So it is not possible for ANY isp to give 3.1Mbps with Evdo ...... for marketing reasons obviously Evdo companies have stuck with the 3.1 mbps spec

Well anyways pls point out 1 single ISp in india wired/wireless who give exactly the same speed they advertise ?

Pri_dm

dint i tell u check railwire threads i guess that clearly says that railwire is dekivering that speed until and unless there is something wrong with my english anyways there is no point proving some1 i hardly know.u wanna know go through the threads u dont dont post such insulting comments :-). that will be appreciated.

Hang on please. No fighting between good members of the forum. Please

Pri_dm

apologies jfk, dint mean to break forum rules just that since last night read some comments which were beyond my digestions. will try to avoid putting any personal comments on threads.

just4kix

No problem. Welcome.

ShAdOwCoN

i dont see anything insulting in my comments .

Can you explain this ? You were downloading a small image .... 300 kb max (since its small) ......... and you got stuck in between which would mean it took a long time to download .... with a 3.1mbps connection ? .......... now thats strange

I just dont want other ppl reading this thread to get a wrong impression about the isp we are discussing ... because i am a very satisfied customer of the same

Yeah , Did nt i scale down my tone ?

niceboy

My friend uses Reliance NetConnect and says it is "Not Value for Money!".

ShAdOwCoN

Elaborate please ?

what kind of negative experience did he have ?

No wonder I expected such criticism from Anti-Relaince fans. Always they go whine about TATA and BSNL who aren't actually front-runners here. Something ought to be done about these peoples.Trust me, every ISP's has thier own good's and bad's. I have been using Reliance Netconnect USB modem for about 3 months now. I don't have any issues with the bill nor any complaints regarding the speed. The speed is very reasonable. Theoretically, my maximum download link speed is 387.5 KB\s. Reliance promised me only a download link of speed over 2.4Mb/s for some reason. But when I took few bandwidth tests I was awestruck it was over 2.8Mb/s. I usually download contents at an average speed of 310-340 KB\s - that's when I realized that Reliance delivering me more than it promised. In Reliance it takes 40-45 mins to download the same 700 MB file. In many worst cases it "only" takes 15 mins more - which isn't actually a big issue.

But using Reliance Net Connect off the city limits can reasonably reduce the speed by 20% or so - which I found it lately. "It acctually depends on where are you at." I am from Coimbatore and I always get maximum coverage.

Yes, I have used TATA the speed was good but not good as in Reliance - the problem with TATA was that every month I got my bills at a staggering rate of Rs.3500. Although I haven't done anything much to reach that rates. I knew, if I am going to produce bills at these rates I am sure my parents would go bankrupt at one point which is why I withdrew TATA services for all the good reasons.

You have made a wise choice for which you will never regret.
