Hahaha! This is a joke almost all operators have HSPA (i.e., HSDPA). Using 3G data, one can expect only 386 kbps MAX. If greater speed is required, HSPA is the way (2.4Mbps/3.6Mbps).
As for BSNL HSPA all connections are traffic shaped. i.e., it doesn’t matter if u have 2.4/3.6/7.2 Mbps modem/device, we’ll only get “broadband” speed of 256kbps.
BK August 23, 2011 at 9:22 am
I get a flat 256 kbps on my Android smart phone on bsnl network whether I do a 2g or 3g recharge. The handset shows I am connected to hspa. I called cc but they have no idea why speed doesnot go beyond 256 kbps. Emails to bsnl cc were never answered. I have a 3g usim, activated 3g plan, rexharged with 3g pack and have a wildfire s.

Ya You are Somewhat Right. BSNL Is Having Little Bit Poor Coverage in Some States and They are Deploying The Towers to Give a Total Coverage. Especially You Will Get BSNL Signals in Forests of Karnataka State and Even in Remote Areas Too.

in every aspect bsnl and mtnl are the best than any other private operator…private operators popular in cheating customers always deducting balance for unknown services …bsnl is the only operator which is cheap as well as wide network coverage…
max August 22, 2011 at 11:30 pm
why MTNL not launching it services to all india by using BSNL network? it would be great for competition.
dhruv August 22, 2011 at 11:20 pm
mtnl is best.
Here in vadodara, bsnl download speed is only 250KBps in 7.2 MBps modem.
Mehul August 22, 2011 at 9:28 pm
I have seen some videos on YouTube showing 1mb/sec download seed on reliance 3g in the Mumbai circle is it possible?????
Manojs August 22, 2011 at 9:16 pm
If anybody frm mtnl recharge with the gprs plan 12 or 98 then wht they can get the speed it wil 3g or edge?
As information received from mtnl official that they already waived off activation charges of 3g/HSDPA. so i think its not a latest news for us
Manoj August 22, 2011 at 9:09 pm
If I activate gprs plan then wht i wil get the speed? I am confused.
As info recd frm mtnl mumbai higher authority tht they already waived off Rs 449 activation charges so this is not a latest news for us.
Diaz Samera August 22, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Lets hope the speed is decent now.
akhilesh August 22, 2011 at 7:39 pm
Mean Mtnl Slower than Bsnl
Bsnl default 3.5Mbps
Now Its Being Ready 14.4Mbps
I checked With Vodafone K4505(28Mbps) max 1500kB/s Speed on Bsnl 3G
Which is Slower Than Reliance 3G ( 2000kB/s ) but enough..
Abhijit August 22, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Yes I have also received the same message today at 1.22pm… I m already on 3G data plan..
Till date download speed was not crossing above 0.50 Mbps.. Now I will check whether it is touching at least 2 Mbps!!!
