Reliance Thunder Broadband

Anyone used Reliance Thunder? It looks promising and I just found out that its available in my area. If yes then how's the ping and how's the customer support?

Search reliance here in this forum section.as far as i know if service is good in your area it is the best option but if not then it is the worst option,better ask someone in your locality.

It's well priced and has no FUP, minor problems get fixed in a day or two, but once or twice a year they do have some major problems and you're stuck with no connectivity for at least a month. Last time such problem occurred, I was left without connectivity for 3+ month, later they provided free connectivity for 1.5 months.

3 months without connection is BAD, very BAD.. i hope you werent charged with for those months, otherwise it looks pretty awesome for what they offer

can you post a pingtest to singapore servers ?

I was charged for a whole month even if it was BSNL fault.

 

[Nerevarine]

thats typical BSNL mate, they do that stuff everywhere

we get a 12k bill every month of a bsnl connection which was closed 4 years ago

man I thought that they had a certain sanity level but every time I can find a raised bar easily.

To all @TDF, Friends and [MENTION=126812]whitestar_999[/MENTION] in particular.
Shall I go on for the Reliance wireline Broadband Freedom 999 Plan(Unlimited + Postpaid),which is available in my area of stay???
In that case I have to say Goodbye to BSNL (using since 2005...with Plan changes...!!!)as an old trusted companion.

How much trustworthy + reliable is RELIANCE ???

Seeking advice from you Friends.

I would say if you are happy with BSNL why leave it. But if you want to move on first check out how is the performance of reliance in your area coz if it is bad or OK you are doomed.

 

[whitestar_999]

It is a matter of chance,if reliance service is good in your area it is the best but if not then it is the worst.I suggest talking to some existing reliance user in your area or else take a chance by taking the connection for 2 months to see if it is reliable while keeping bsnl connection(you can change your bsnl plan to basic phone call only Rs.190 plan as it will be much more hassle to disconnect/reconnect land line again compared to just changing plan).

In that case shifting to General Plan 195(only calls) will be a better option. Thank You for your wise advice friend.

By the way, Reliance BB,is it similar to BSNL in configuration or different like that of Alliance or Wishnet(Cable BB)?
I mean ,please explain in details about Reliance Broadband network.
Can I establish a Hotspot as my existing BSNL connection,which I had set up(by the help of you and others)?

 

[whitestar_999]

It is similar to bsnl but with one major difference.Reliance BB does not store username/password in modem & you have to go to reliance login web login page to login & then connect(similar to cable broadband).once connected you can use mac cloning to set your modem/router mac id to the mac id of device used to login & can get simultaneous net access on multiple devices.

Thanks Friend,but a little bit confusion,hence a query.
If I need to go to Reliance login web page to login,then initially after opening up a browser(Firefox,Chrome,Opera,etc...),how do I open up the login page for Reliance??
As according to their condition,until & unless I login with my username + password(provided) I shall be unable to browse/surf the web,rather to open up any web page/site.
Please clarify this.

Create a Bookmark .... They will give u the website and mostly if ur not connected it will auto redirect u 2 the Login Page

 

[whitestar_999]

opening web page does not necessarily mean internet connection,all such login pages are hosted on internal network.simply speaking you will be opening another pc in a big lan.
