Hey guys...
I bought a 3g Sim card, and recharged with a 2g plan (1p/s)... When I connect to net, I'm getting hsdpa signal with a speed around 3Mbps...!
..
Since I'm on a 2g plan, I hope that 98rs gprs pack is applicable for me
Which means, I can use 2GB of data at blazing speed for 98 rs.. I haven't tried it though..
..
I just want to know, if this same situation there in other networks too :)

It use to happen here (Uttrakhand) too but BSNL has fixed it now, speeds are capped to 15 kB/s. :-(
