Is GPRS 199 Plan better or DataOne 250 Home Plan?
What is the average speed for GPRS 199 Plan, while DataOne 250 has 1800kbps?

Further, I want to use GPRS with my System using my phone. What devices I have to purchase to use it with my PC? Can then I download unlimited, (movies, trailers, games, etc...all) with only Rs 199 printed on my Bill?

I want to download unlimited:
For that DataOne 900UL holes my pocket to Rs 900, while as BSNL Galaxy holes only upto Rs 199.
I get 1500-1800kbps Speed on my Dataone Plan, but I cannot download much due to 1GB restriction.

So, I want to shift to Galaxy UL 199 GPRS for Unlimited Download.

Now, I want to known any Feedback from the 199 UL Galaxy User.

What is the average Speed?
Does it cost more than 199 to download in Gbs?
Will it work on my PC?

One thing I dont get it... GPRS will come in Cell one mobile where as DATAOne will come with Landline... or BFone is what its called... so those to are different...

GPRS in BSNL expect speeds of 35 to 45 kbps (downloads are poor max 5kBps ) in GPRS, as didnt see any one here at Kolkata geting advantage of EDGE so not sure whether u have EDGE in there at ur place or not...

I would say its not BSNL GRPS which u can compare with Home 250 DATAone... if u have AirTel service with EDGE and supported phone of Class 32 EDGE then u can think of AirTel GPRS Rs. 249/- .... unlimited, in Kolkata I found with Class 10 mobiles speeds are 24 to 25 kBps stable...

So if u really have to compare BSNL, then I would say think of BSNL WLL CDMA Intelnet access through PCMCIA Card, Rs. 250/- unlimited speeds of 115kbps (download 12 to 15 kBps stable) with same upload speed too !!!

O.K. I will not change to GPRS 199 because of the V.Slow Speed, which will take centuries to download a GB file!

I have a BFONE But not WLL. For CDMA IntelNet I have to apply for WLL.
What is the Initial Feee for Applying to WLL?
What is the Monthly forWLL?
What are its different Plans?
What I have to pay for starting Unlimited IntelNet Service?
What devices to Purchase for PC Use?

Rs.250 - Unlimited Internet
Rs.150 - Data Card Rental (if you buy data card for Rs.4500, you need not pay this)
