I upgraded from my old Reliance Netconnect when the demo showed i was getting 3-4 bars signal in my location on a farm in rural Bangalore.
Unfortunately the speed is very slow (I'm getting spurts of 1-3 kbps followed by long intervals of nothing) and the connection locks up very frequently.

It's been a terrible disappointment.

change network type to HSD from HYBRID, it should give u better speed, but note that if u go out of EVDO coverage, u need to change back to HYBRID/CDMA to get ti working. check above link for image of the screen ( remove the space in http)

I'm using reliance netconnect broadband+ for the past 4 weeks; I bought it for 3500 bucks & I chose to have my first month rental free whereas the other option is to choose for a 200 rupee discount on 1000 + plan for 12 months. So the first month I went for the maximum plan that is Rs.1750/- 15GB Plan, so far I could manage to exhaust only 10GB but no probs as I got some good movies downloaded already. The next month onwards I plan to change it to 2GB plan thats for a rental of 750, which is obviously a bit costly than BSNL EVDO which offers an unlimited package for 650 but reliance wins on the mobility part as no extra roaming charges so can take it anywhere in india with 1X speed guaranteed & Broadband speeds in 35 cities but BSNL is not so sadly.
Coming to the speed part, I'm actually amazed coz I've had the history of struggling with the BSNL WLL Internet, Airtel GPRS & Hathway Broadband which hardly crosses 256Kbps! But this wireless wonder gives me browsing speeds upto 1 to 2 MPBS in the day & poor speeds thats below 500Kbps in the nights. The max download speed I got was 250 Kbps & an average of 150+ but above 100 is assured. While downloading from Megaupload, Rapidshare, etc., who voluntarily caps the speed if we are a non-premium user, sadly download speeds do not cross 40Kbps.

So I would recommend all to go for this, its a boon to frequent travelers who can access the web faster than wired connections.
