Getting really good speeds on BSNL unlimited 2MBPS EVDO

[The Conqueror]

You're using BSNL in Boston?

You could even get something like 20mbps unlimited in US for that price.

BSNL Evdo works locally only na? Like you can't take it to other city and stuff. Thats what the bsnl guys were telling me.. True?

 

[NauticA]

what is the tariff and what is the speed ?

i advise users to not go in for EVDO connection until they are 100% sure that they will get EVDO coverage in their area and not the usual 144 kb speed. problem is there is not enough info available about this service. i had also got this EVDO.. about 3-4 months back... used it for about a month... never got high speeds. the guys in BSNL didnt even know what EVDO was. so i had to chuck it.. waste of money..

it doesnt make sense. if BSNL were to make this available all over.. then ppl would shift from wired broadband to that service which is cheaper and offers better speeds. the EVDO thing is not really organized yet..

Does it work in other cities if bought in ur hometown?

Yes it works but only as CDMA 1X and not EVDO.The modem downgrades to CDMA 1X speed.

my pune based bsnl evdo works in pune, nasik & kalyan... but still bsnl ppl said that it wont work in nagpur... i dont see a reason why.. though i dont htink that it really does downgrade to CDMA1x because the highway coverage is horrendous... touch the highway and bye-bye...

but the main point is... i havnt received a single bill for the last 3 months.. in my 3 months of usage...

i dunno whether to be happy or sad about it...

P.S.: i have a total of 3 connections... 1 Nasik and 2 in Pune... and for the 3... i have recieved 1 out of the 9 scheduled bills.

EVDO!..errr...what the F** is that)..if evdo is available..should i go for that..?

[nitish_mythology]

[Rollercoaster]

can someone please post links/info about the package/plan details.

Don't even think of going for EVDO.Its the worst BB connection you can get.
Actually the reason why i get games quickly is that because i have fused my sify connection with this one using an internet load balancing software.
