BSNL has announced the shutdown of CDMA Voice and EVDO data service. BSNL has cited poor performance, low revenue, and small customer base as reason for the shutdown of CDMA services. I was using EVDO data card for last 7 years. But now they only offer to migrate to 3g or broadband both are very bad services. I got a notification that in our circle it will shut down from 30th June.

That is not a source. You must post a link from a verifiable web page where this news is reported.

EVDO service was shutdown in uttarakhand circle on 31 March. They were giving an offer on 3G, like anyone will go from cheap unlimited plan to costly limited ones.

Anyway, here's a source: BSNL announces shutdown of CDMA voice and EVDO services in the UP-West circl

First of all, the article is from December 2015, so this is old news.

Secondly, BSNL is closing EVDO services only in UP west region according to the same news.

Finally, I have used it for 2 years and seriously have used all the hacks and tricks in the book but the speed was like a big question to me. Good that they have stopped it finally.

I have read about closing EVDO in haryana in January 2016. Here is the news regarding EVDO / CDMA closing in Punjab. customers have to migrate by 17.05.2016 Punjab circle

I think CDMA will work for some more time in hilly areas where competition is less and providing wired broadband is difficult. In plain area it is not economical because private players are not giving any room for BSNL EVDO / CDMA
