hi,
I am Noble Jose, from Bangalore.
I am on TATA WiMax 384kbps infinity, What will be the ideal download speed? I hv checked with so many speed tests, but all of them giving different results, somewhere around 160kbps.

And for a single file download from download.com or any other major site, is 20-22 KBps, technically I should get 46-48KB/sec on a 384kbps plan right? Should I raise a complaint to TATA about the speed?

I hv checked my signal strength, and it is constant on 24-25, which is i think good enough to get a decent speed. The nearest tower is just about 30 meters from my house, no obstructions in between, should i expect better signal strength?

Overall I am happy abt TATA service, because i got connection in 2 days! and no disconnect till now. I need to figure out the speed promised is correct or not.

Thanks for your time

Yes i do have tata wimax and i am using this service since 29 Jan 09. i had logged a complaint after next installation date 10 tiimes and nothing happend they tried to call and promised and one day they replied that you should get 22-25kb/sec speed.

and Now i am waiting to complete my 4 months advance rental to disconnect this service. i think reliance is more superior than TATA in Service.

Tata Indicom is one of the worst service provider.... Get rid of this ASAP


I am going to get Airtel ASAP so that i won't require to dial TATA CC for problems.

And they will say we will come back to soon... But they won't

Dear Noblejose,

Ideal speed for your plan should be 48 KB per sec. However, any speed above 40 KBps should be considered acceptable.
Visit this site, speedtest (Google it) take a speed test and post your results.
It is very much possible to optimize your bandwidth, let me know!
