Reliance capping lifetime pack subscribers of Netconnect+ and Pro3 at 1X speeds

Reliance communications had launched a lifetime validity pack for its Netconnect+ and Pro3 prepaid subscribers towards the end of last year. The pack which is still available comes with a denomination of Rs.3001 and offers 1GB high speed data per month till the end of the current license period in each circle. Effectively Reliance is offering 1GB per month for approx 6 years or 72 months which brings the per GB cost to around Rs.41.

The only condition that Reliance has mentioned for this offer is that the 1GB that is credited each month will only be usable during that same month and leftover data will not be carried forward to the following month. No where has reliance specified that it will be capping the net access for the subscribers of this pack to 1x speeds as the offering reads 1GB of high speed data per month which implies EvDO.

It was brought to our notice by some of our readers about this misleading advertisement that Rcom was doing and how they felt cheated of their money due to this unethical practice. We decided to subject it to the test, we got a Reliance Pro3 wingle ZTE AC3633 and recharged it with the Rs.999 unlimited pack and it connected flawlessly to the EvDO Rev.A network (Though ideally speaking it should’ve latched on to Rev.B network since testing was done in Mumbai which is a Re.B city) in the Pro3 mode and gave an average download speed ranging between 1 to 1.5 Mbps.
