I MISSED TO mention THAT MTS GIVES 10 GB UNLIMITED FOR JUST Rs.999 per month in prepaid!
jijo March 31, 2012 at 12:53 pm
How can BSNL 3G compete with MTS which gives 10 GB at a speed of 3.1Mbps, and then 144kbps unlimited in prepaid? Reliance Broadband plus gives the same offer. Only if BSNL 3G tariff becomes comeptetive like CDMA players, 3G will become popular.(the same BSNL gives 1.5 Mbps constant speed in their EVDO network with unlimited data for just Rs.750 a month- they could have simply increase their EVDO network, but these bums are not doing it, thereby denying chance for cheap data to rural customers! WHAT A PITY! GO TO HELL WITH YOUR 3G, EXPAND EVDO NETWORK INSTEAD BSNL!)

@akhilesh
For 2G customers, 3G network will give 512Kbps. 3G customers in 3G network will get maximum speed.

@akhilesh
do u think the bsnl guys will understand this, i explained my problem so many times, i am uset, what will i do now…
akhilesh March 31, 2012 at 12:30 am
@soumya
all Network have 2 type signal
1- CS network = call service
2- PS network = packet service
cs network is always max signal
while ps network Lower in all network
so u need to -90dbm cs network signal to
get Ps network full speed (bcoz need good TX RX Power)
& minimum -99dbm is required for avrage speed

PEOPLE SAY BSNL IS BEST, I AGREE BUT NOT IN TECHNICAL BASED PROBLEMS. i am facing problem with bsnl. in my room when i connect to internet in my laptop by a data card( d link usb modem ). the speed is 10 kb/sec, when i take my laptop to the barandah, the speed increases by 1 mbps ( rs 54 data card ). i cant surf internet in my room. although the singal is full, to download i have to take my laptop to barandah. the problem is channel or port problem. i got so many call from bsnl. but they could not solve my problem. the signal come from same tower in room and barandah. i am upset.

Bsnl 3g coverage is good specially in 2 tier n 3 tire cities and mtnl 3g working fine while roaming on bsnl. In pune bsnl 3g far better from other opertaors in terms of coverage.
Pratik March 30, 2012 at 10:02 pm

i dont see any new area covered by bsnl.
akhilesh March 30, 2012 at 9:22 pm
bsnl 3g speed is max 64kB/s=512kbps

the most affordable plan right now in the market…if they want to compete against photon or mts they should make these plans permanent instead..
