Forget 3G - EVDO [BSNL, Reliance, Tata] is the Way to Go

Time and Again, we have heard your voice that BSNL 3G service is expensive and we agree that it needs to be made more affordable. Until then, users seeking mobility in broadband to work from School or Home or SOHO, can rely on BSNL EVDO or Reliance NetConnect Broadband+ or Tata Photon+.

We recommend Reliance NetConnect Broadband+ or Tata Photon+ for users of Mumbai and Delhi or anybody who frequently visit those cities since you can avail of roaming Boradband access [Kindly confirm the Billing while roaming].

BSNL EVDO: BSNL's EVDO is a great Wireless broadband Plan for users seeking mobility. The deal is great, especially in South India - Having taken the connection in Bangalore, we enjoy South India roaming and the cost is just Rs 650 [Unlimited Access, Speed varies by Signal Strength. Never got the advertised 1 Mbps, but 384Kbps to 768 Kbps is not bad at all].

Access - Access methodology of EVDO based broadband is using a USB stick / antenna. If you wish to purchase the USB stick it costs Rs 4,000 + taxes or if you lease it, it costs Rs 200 / month. [We recommend to lease it] You can install it on any Operating System. BSNL EVDO Drivers for Windows 2K SP4, XP, Vista or even Linux are available.

BSNL is using CDMA 1X Technology for providing EVDO based broadband services and is continuously expanding its BTS'.

    BSNL EVDO is the cheapest possible Unlimited download with mobility across Karnataka. Apply for the Special Broadband+EVDO Combo offer (if you have Broadband already at home - or even a fresh broadband connection in case you have a BSNL landline is fine.) which gives you discount of Rs.250/- on the already lower tariff of Rs.550/- per month as long as your combined rent for Broadband plus telephone rental is minimum Rs.499/-. It literally means your broadband comes almost free for you and you get redundancy and backup connection for internet through both these landline broadband as well as EVDO USB card. Go for 'Home 500C' combo plan which gives you 1.5Gb download limit plus 2am-8am Night download free as well as 175 free calls for your telephone. If you want more download limit and less free calls , choose the latest 'New Combo Limited Plan' offer of Combo 599 plan which gives you 100 free calls and 4Gb download limit but night downlad of 2am-8am at a nominal cost of 40 paise / MB. Visit the site http://www.bangaloretelecom.com/index.php and http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/dataone_tariff.htm to get the exact details. If you are ready to operate at 144Kbps speed,costs can brought down further by using NIC card which gives unlimited download at Rs.150/- per month for the broadband combo plan of 500C.
