its good.now i want to tell for crater’s comment it tells 4.9 Mbps on single carrier of 1.25Mhz. but we will get 9.8 mbps on double carrier and i also don’t think that it is expensive what’s bad on paying if you get excellent speed

The chief downside of having CDMA usb broadband modems is that there is no resale value for it, neither can Rev.A modems be upgraded to support Rev.B. The consumer will be forced to invest in new modems and if he ends up being unsatisfied by the coverage and service, he is bound to the operator with no way out. The least that the company can do is to give upgradation discount to existing Rev.A users who would like to shift to Rev.B on exchange of their old modem even a concession of Rs.500 would make a difference. Even DTH operators like Reliance give discount to existing users upgrading from standard definition(SD) to high definition(HD) on exchange of their old set top box.

pratik :

looks like its going to be costly ;whats the use of speed when you dont get data to downloadlooks like its going to be costly ;whats the use of speed when you dont get data to download

As u can see, 1GB data costs Rs 750+, i.e. double data tariff compared to RevA where 2GB comes @ Rs 750.

crater :

looks like MTS is fooling the customers, it has only 1.25 mhz of spectrum which can at max go up to 4.9 mbps then why are they proclaiming 9.8 mbps which is theoretically impossible.

this is not true, MTS is most circles has around 5Mhz spectrum = 4* 1.25Mhz. 2 blocks for EVDO, 2 blocks for voice.

Anandh :

Good job guys. But when you are going to reduce the data plans of 3.1 mbps connection?

That is the most sought answer from MTS and TTSL.

Sudhakar :

CDMA cannot compete over the blazing speed of GSM 3G.

may be, but cdma will give more coverage and better stability.

@crater yaah thats Right

JIJO September 1, 2011 at 7:01 pm

WELCOME REV.B!! CDMA can definitely offer higher speed for cheaper rates compared to GSM 3G. Keeping my fingers crossed for that.

It’s possible since 1.25mhz single frequency carrier can support upto 4.9mbps and 9 .8 Mbps in two
frequency carrier bundle .

Rakesh September 1, 2011 at 5:13 pm

this would Rs.629 for 100 mb. and Rs.1000 for 750 mb like that and so on.
