Review on BSNL 3G data card and their Plans
Wed, 11/24/2010 - 11:35 — Mohammed

Hi All,

I am from Bangalore and stay near Majestic area. I too bought a BSNL 3G with a
data card after Diwali. The signal strength in my area is almost 98-100%.

Considering this, I get an average speed of 1.5 - 2 Mbps.

The maximum file download speed which I observed while downloading a file form Oracle website was 575 KBps. Remember its KBps and not Kbps, so its a caps 'B'.
So that was truly amazing. Therefore the maximum download speed I noticed was 4.5 Mbps and an average of 2 Mbps most of the time.

The least speed observed in the same site was 120-140 KBps with a slight fluctuation.

Torrent downloads with 4 file simultaneously, the total bandwith for download nearly reached 390-400 KBps, and upload was 1-1.5 Mbps.

This is truly amazing provided u have sufficient signal in ur respective areas.

The only doubt I have here is whether the 4200 Rs, plan for 6 months is really unlimited or is there any cap on the usage which they call as "Fair Usage Policy".

One more question please.
Am using Huawei data card, model no e1752, which I purchased for Rs 3800/= Is this the correct price? Or have I paid more for this ?

Any body who knows about this or who want to know anything about BSNL's 3G experience can drop me a mail to [email protected]

Thanks,
Mohammed P.

Sudden Reduction in Speed with BSNL 3G data-card
Thu, 12/09/2010 - 11:16 — Mohammed

Hi Guys,

I am using BSNL 3G data card for broadband from the past 1 month.
From yesterday, am observing the speeds are reducing drastically. Am just getting 800-1200 Kbps or 0.8-1.2 Mbps hardly.
Is anybody else too experiencing the same.........? If yes please reply.

Do you know why is this happening? Is there any usage or speed capping in this BSNL unlimited scheme for 3G.....?

Or is it a network problem with some network device down?
If anyone has any idea about this pls reply to [email protected]

Thanks,
Mohammed P.
