yes at my home i am getting constant download speed around 200+ Kilobyte per second. and great surfing speed. just need to pay 750 + tax rs 93 = 843 per month and totally unlimited with 200+ Kbps speed.
Shimer May 27, 2012 at 3:33 pm
What is evdo? i use broadband.
yogesh April 16, 2012 at 2:32 am
to get best speed in torrents restrict upload speed to 3 .u will get same speed as u get in direct downloads.@dskushwaha
rramachandra April 15, 2012 at 8:06 pm
EVDO wireless technology. Wireless is profitable for BSNL as more than 100 customers can be accommodated in single BTS.. ,???
I doubt. Max 24 customers/BTS? Max Down load speed in reality 100-150Kbps.
Aiswarya R L April 15, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Why do u call this mad? If your like to have unlimited 2mbps ,wireless plan go for EVDO ,Isn’t it a good thing to get it at low cost …. or do u want pay more for EVDO also…
As far as ADSL is concerned its old and costly technology (Per meter of cable have more than 50 rs , maintenance is also very difficult) , so it will costlier than new EVDO wireless technology. Wireless is profitable for BSNL as more than 100 customers can be accommodated in single BTS.. ,so they will promote its usage more than wired technology
krishnendu April 15, 2012 at 10:01 am
thats what I am telling they are selling advanced technology with better features such as high speed net on the move with low cost and stone age dsl bb technology at a fortune!
krishnendu April 15, 2012 at 9:58 am
which plan did you used?do you know the cost of unlimited 2mbps bb plan?
Nilay April 14, 2012 at 2:43 pm
absolutely correct….@sushant gupta
sushant gupta April 14, 2012 at 10:28 am
as far as i have experienced bsnl evdo it is one of the best available wireless broadband in the country still the least famous….

BSNL Landline Broadband has many advantages over BSNL EVDO:
1. Upload speed is more
2. Constant download speed (No fluctuation like EVDO which sows only the max speed of 2 Mbps or more but average speed using some downloader like Flashget etc shows below 1000 kbps whereas in Landline it is always 2000 kbps + )
3. Torrents sucks in EVDO
I have used both the EVDO (less than 500 meters from BTS) and Landline. I download around 10 times more in Landline with much lesser bills.

Its hitback time for BSNL . Let BSNL rethink its strategy on FTTH , SIP Call and WiMax .

MTNL operational area is Mumbai and Delhi only.
@harish
FWT is Fixed Wireless Telephone which works on CDMA having an option to create with Limited mobility within SDCA or Full Mobility all over India except MTNL area ie., Mumbai and Delhi

Kaushik April 13, 2012 at 8:14 pm
I mentioned ‘exploiting opportunity’. Understand the meaning.
krishnendu April 13, 2012 at 7:07 pm
If it was good marketing then most people would have used evdo not photon or netconnect!!
Kaushik April 13, 2012 at 5:51 pm
At the end of the day, its the customer’s discretion which technology he/she would use. if he/she chooses broadband, he/she pays for it. When that is the case, BSNL exploits the opportunity. That is called marketing. Learn it to use it.
Kaushik April 13, 2012 at 4:17 pm
Rs. 75/month is the charge for basic 1X service, not for EVDO.
krishnendu April 13, 2012 at 2:39 pm
bsnl is a joke!750pm unlimited for evdo which is wireless!but for bb its 2mb unlimited plan cost is unimaginable!What are bsnl supporters view about this mad policy?
tarun dhwan April 13, 2012 at 1:31 pm
vijay mishra is right there.Mtnl is not providing evdo service in delhi region.it’s just 1X cdma service which is worst speed in this internet era.
harish April 13, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Can you please specify what is FWT or MDN number?
Vijay Mishra April 13, 2012 at 1:14 pm
@Asif samadhan
Don’t get confused with MTNL service. MTNL has got only 1X cdma service having maximum speed of 144 kbps. It do not have any EVDO plan or service. Unlimited download and upload is provided by MTNL on its CDMA 1X network for Rs. 75 per month
Gowrishankar April 13, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Well said
@Mr.Kaka

Gowrishankar April 13, 2012 at 12:55 pm
@kaka Ya Mr.Kaka You told very Absolutly correct..BSNL is only Operator live for People…
Asif samadhan April 13, 2012 at 12:55 pm
Mtnl 75rs. r u conform?
vijay April 13, 2012 at 12:53 pm
when will the mtnl comes to southern regions(TN) ?
kaka April 13, 2012 at 12:42 pm
Only because of BSNL best services, people will prefer bsnl, other evdo of bsnl is too costly, 750/month for unlimited but mtnl provides 75/month for unlimited in evdo, so who will go for bsnl
