This is a thread for discussion regarding 2G/3G connections for users of Bihar/Jharkhand circle. We can discussion on anything regarding 2G/3G connection, let it be, speed, problem in connection, APN, plans, loopholes etc.
Feel free to post your opinion/problem here and the posts should be like,

Operator: Airtel/Aircel/BSNL etc
Connection: 2G/3G/2G & 3G both
<your experience / view / opinion / query here>

For example,
Operator: Airtel
Connection: 2G & 3G both
Airtel 2G is the best connection I've ever used till date and I'm just too happy with it and the most amazing thing is that I use it on my PC. I get a speed of around 30-40 kBps at night and normally during the day time it gives around 15-25 kBps.
Airtel 3G has been my favourite as in terms of loopholes, I've had many experiences of getting 3G speeds on 2G data plan ;)

EDIT: Anyone who sees this thread and knows any 2G/3G user of Bihar/Jharkhand circle, please refer this thread to your friend/relative/who so ever is using 2G/3G in this circle. That could be the least you can do, thank you.

I am a regular user of Airtel 3g.Speeds are quite good, pings on garena for dota and in dota 2 are also decent.Plans are very expensive though and need to be brought down to gain popularity and in turn attract more users.

I recharge my airtel by 102, 300mb 3g almost every two days. I don't know how the hell it gets finished when my 90% browsing is on this very domain. I know, the culprit is extra fast speed. :|

Reliance (smart) sucks here.

If that's the case, why don't you just go for a bigger plan, like 2 GB or above?

btw, Aircel too sucks here :p

p.s. - Where do you live (as in where are you getting these speeds) ??

Reliance - 3G
Location - Bailey Road, Nr Passport Office, Patna
My experience - Since I am here in Patna for a brief period at my brother's house and there is no broadband at home, 3G is the only savior for me. Recharged with 2GB 3G data at INR 449 (1 month validity) as I am using a dongle. The speed is really good. Browsing is snappier. IDM/utorrent gives an average 180KBps+. Video chat through Hangout was lag-free.

Yes, I have used it from raja bazaar and it's pretty good. And best in patna. I went to several places in patna, but everywhere it was sucking, except in bailey road.
