From Last 2 months I am giving them complaint regarding slow speed, but it is not resolved yet. If I lodge complaint that time only it will give good speed, else other time it won’t give even 200 kbps speed.

@Chanda Jhaveri
U should buy a 3g gsm modem like micromax, huawi etc.. & a bsnl mobile sim.. Modem price: 1800, Data pack: Rs. 98/month with 3GB data/month.. Good speed in 3G network.. Around 250 kbps
Sayan December 27, 2011 at 3:00 pm
useless.. Bcoz data packs are not affordable.. Data packs rate should also be decreased.. Do you agree? Plz comment

Cost of dongle is not a serious concern for the subscribers. They want service at the affordable price. BSNL offers unlimited service for Rs. 750 monthly,

@amar
Even TATA is not so good. you may get around 300 to 512kpbs across Chennai.
Actual cost of the EVDO cards are 10 US Dollars in china.
Tremerin Dsouza September 25, 2011 at 9:04 pm
all operators are trying to fool the subscribers by reducing hardware cost which is one time fee,the real benefit to users would be when data plans are made affordable.
amar September 25, 2011 at 8:30 pm
MTS is worst EVDO operator.
I am using it from MAY , it gives max speed of 300 kbps to me and many times below 100 kbps even Network strength is full in BROADBAND MODE.
I think RELIANCE is best.
Gives good speed at better price than Tata photon and MTS.

@ RAJ
very true
aditya September 25, 2011 at 5:24 pm
ITS PRICE WAS REDUCED ONE MONTH BEFORE ONLY
RAJ September 25, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Reduced price for few hundred rupees is not much appreciated unless the per month cost of 3G or EVDo is actually reduced. In India paying 1250/- per month for Wireless is still very expensive for the masses and it is a game for a handful who are working in Bangalore or Pune getting fat salaries. Ideally Gud speed in wireless with unlimited access should not be beyond Rs.450/- per month for the wireless users.

Dhananjay September 25, 2011 at 4:03 pm
i could not understand why all wireless Broadband providers don’t use CDMA ? in CDMA Technology we can get better speed from GSM networks ..
