My BSNL 3G service expired recently. I am in search of a decent 2G data service. I will be using it for both PC and mobile browsing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Better stick to 3G only. 2G is way too slow.

I was thinking about that, but.. only Aircel, BSNL provides 3g here. And both have steeply priced 3G tariffs.

For 2G u can use vodafone and docomo. I use docomo 2G and when downloading got speeds upto 30Kbps.
But now their speeds have slowed downb especially after their 3G launch. But still i manage to get 20Kbps and sometimes for 5-6 secs it goes to 30Kbps.

If reliance has good signal at your area go for it-M99-2.5GB

But that Reliance plan is only for mobile phones. You cant connect with PC.

I'd suggest DOCOMO... have a had a good experience with it.. but it all depends on the number of users in your area.. find out from your friends in your locality.. which network gives good speeds and go for it
