Welcome to Reliance Communications

no.just that reliance usually block all major file sharing & torrent sites for a few days whenever one of their film is going to be released(reliance entertainment).if it is available in your area go for it but make sure before paying advance that they have empty/available slot/port at their local exchange because marketing guys(who sell plan) & technical guys(who install plan/equipment) have very little communication among them.

Wow. Reliance has done an amazing job. Now everybody can enjoy 1mbps internet.. I can resist myself, 4mbps for 1099 is too good.

Yeh..! These plans r gr8 if dey provide promised speed which i think dey usually do..! 699 rs for unlimited 2 mbps for a month..? :)))) I read a thread in these forums in which ppl wanted a 2mbps truly unlimited connec for 1000 bucks .. i guess its here with much cheaper price..!

How about Reliance Thunder 699 BroadBand postpaid Plan?
Is there any FUP involved?
How much reliable is it compared to BSNL?

Do I have to register a phone line(Mandatory with Phone number) if I register for Broadband Plan Thunder 699 or can I apply without any Reliance Telephone Registration?

only requirement for reliance broadband is they should have lines/service in your area & free port at their local exchange.rest all is just technicalities(which plan,free calls etc).check the link in 1st post to know FUP.

Yes, you can have Reliance Broadband connection without taking Reliance phone. You just need to pay the installation charge 500-600rs and your connection will be on.

Oct 17, 2012 at 11:51 AM
reliance uses a different type of adsl so normal adsl modem+router will either not work or will work simply as router & you have to login into reliance portal from pc to use net,no automatic dialing by router.

it is obvious that to use a wired broadband you need a wire!why are you people even asking such questions?if it is wired broadband you need a wire coming to your house(cable or telephone line or lan wire).btw reliance uses a different type of adsl so normal adsl modem+router will either not work or will work simply as router & you have to login into reliance portal from pc to use net,no automatic dialing by router.

Expert friend,@whitestar_999,I am using BSNL BB for the past 5 yrs. and is under the ULD 900 Plan for the past 1.6 yrs or so.It is well known fact,for a noob like me,that we have to use wires to access BroadBand network.I MYSELF PREFER WIRED(WIRELINE) BB NETWORK WHEN USING A DESKTOP PC.
Please,mark it friend, I am not satirical nor harsh on any comments,since I've learned much about network issues and other generic hardware related issues(on the extent of solving the issues also...)from you.

I was a bit perplexed about @Chirag_123's comment ,where he said :
You dont need a fixed line.You just have to pay dem Rs 600 as installation....
What did he mean by not needing a fixed line?
My reply was a query to that.

Even If I want to have Reliance BroadBand Network such as "Thunder 699 Plan" I shall always opt for a wired network instead of wireless.

M just saying that you dont need a fixed line that doesn't means that you wont need wires to connect to the internet.A fixed line is only compulsory if you opt for combo plans.You will have to login to their website after your session expires which is of 24 hours.If your 24 hour session is over you will have to login again to acess internet.

But If I opt for Thunder 699 (POSTPAID) Plan from Reliance,certainly I don't have to login everytime for any such "expiry" of "session"?

Oct 18, 2012 at 4:07 PM
@kg11sgbg,reliance broadband uses pppoe/pppoa with MER(mac encapsulation routing) making it different from normal pppoe without MER which is used by ISP's like BSNL & airtel.what this means is that it is not possible to save the login info in modem/router & then get connected by simply turning on the modem/router like in case of bsnl or airtel.most commonly used way with reliance broadband is using a simple wifi router(no modem) & then login once from any device into reliance portal connected to router & after that net is accessible on all devices connected to router.you have to login once every 24 hours but there are scripts available which can automate this task.

P.S.i do have some theories about making reliance broadband work in a normal way with adsl modem by saving login info in modem itself but can't test it because of no reliance service in my area.

Hey Guys... I cant figure out how to apply for a new connection. I need some help. My current internet speed is damn low to browse through pages yet I tried but couldn't get anything on the official website. I am in Kumarswamy Layout, Bangalore. If you guys could kindly at least tell me how to apply for a connection I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I've heard horrible stories about them taking the money and never coming back. Worse, even after you give application for surrendering the connection, they keep on sending you bills for months. Later, they'll file a case against you if you don't pay. If it was not for that fear, I'd have grabbed the 2Mbps connection by now.
1. BTW, is the torrent site blocking still happening?
2. Is it possible to bypass it using a different DNS or is VPN the only option?
3. When they do block it, do they block only the torrent sites or they start slowing down all P2P communications?

Nov 16, 2012 at 5:44 AM
Do you have Wi-Fi adapter in both of them ???
You will need to connect one of your PC to the Lan cable coming from your ISP.
Then you will need to enable Internet connection sharing on this PC.
Once you do this , the PC will share your Internet with any other computer on Wi-Fi.

A simple way to do this would be through a software named "Connectify-me". This will create a Wi-fi hotspot for you and will help you use internet on any device connected to this hotspot.

As-easy as it sounds. YOu jsut need 2 wi-fi adapters.

Nov 16, 2012 at 1:00 PM
But that would require the primary computer to be on whenever I need to use internet on the second computer, wouldn't it?

I was reading about LAN divider. How does that work? Will Reliance allow two systems to log in simultaneously?

YOu can try a Wi-FI router , O/w a switch coming from your modem .

Either via WiFi or LAN. For wifi, you'll need wifi adapters for each PC. Better use LAN.

But that would require the primary computer to be on whenever I need to use internet on the second computer, wouldn't it?

No, if you use a router.

I was reading about LAN divider. How does that work? Will Reliance allow two systems to log in simultaneously?

Its called "switch". Your connection cable goes directly in switch "IN" and rest "OUT" ports for your devices to be connected. And Reliance login won't be required from both PCs, you login from one and use in multiple devices.

Btw , you can put your login details in the modem itself.

Not possible in Reliance, normally.

Thanks. I think I will go with a wireless router. That way I can occasionally use internet on mobile phones too. How much will a decent one cost?

Also, I am still not totally clear about how login in Reliance broadband will work. My perception is that if nobody is using the connection at a point of time, then any device can use the login credentials to connect. And when the second device needs to connect, then it won't need to login. Am I correct?

hi,
I too plan to go for thunder 549 plan.currently i have 300kbps combo plan.
When i checked with customercare they said they can migrate my connection to thunder 549 with the land line phone plan of RS.250.
I asked them i dont need landline phone only internet i need.they said that as i have the land line phone with existing combo plan i shouls migrate it with the 250 plan after that i have to request reliance to cancel only landline phone.

Is the same thing happened for you also?...please let me know.

Iam living in Bangalore.

Been using Reliance Night zoom plan for Rs.999/- for over 3 months now. This is how it works with reliance:

1. Reliance engineer will tell you if they can give Freedom 999 plan. Its not available at all the locations. I was informed that I can still go for it but I will get only 2mbps or thereabouts.
2. You have to login each time through browser interface. I remember reading some trick somewhere but it didnt work for me.. So didnt try any further experiments.
3. I am using Netgear DGND3700. Unless I set "Use Computer MAC Address", I cannot login.
4. If reliance says plan is unlimited, it is unlimited. Never faced any reduced speed issue.. have crossed 60GB in a month.
5. Few pirated MP3 sites are blocked but torrents work - be it isohunt or piratebay.

With new plans, I may be shifting to 4mbps at an extra Rs.100/- :) Avoid combo plans though unless phone is of extreme importance.

For anyone who has doubts about what reliance delivers ....

1. I am subscribed to Reliance's Freedom 999 for the last 5 months.
2. I hit my FUP in a matter of days, but Reliance is too kind and I still get 12 Mbps beyond my FUP
3. I am my modem connected a a Cisco router and use the connection simultaneously on 4 machines at home.
4. For anyone who wants more details, I took this from speedtest [dot] net ... *i45.tinypic.com/zvxuug.jpg

hi, to all. i hav registered for new connection in reliance wired bb, but they saying that there is no feasibility in your area of wire line broadband connection,whenever we launch the same you would be notified through relevant media channels.
but when i check there network coverage map its showing my area. the nearest tower is very closefrom my place, hardly five minutes walk.

i hav told them that they will get good business in my area bcoz we only hav mtnl bb which is very costly for good speed plans.
i stay at dahisar (west) mumbai - 400068.
i hav tried tikona bb, i get good signal strenght in my place. but reliance bb plans r really good.
if any reliance guy is reading this please take this seriously. i want reliance bb urgently.

Yes, browsing is not up to the mark, no where near airtel. Sometimes you hit enter after typing url, and then it will make you wait for some second, and then start loading. Steaming can't get worse. Even 360p lags; with airtel, even 720p didn't. And ask this when speeds are identical. Also, not to mention, pathetic pings worsened by packet loss.

The ones who are opting for Reliance broadband by looking at these plans are fools.

2 year old Reliance broadband subscriber here. It worked well until Jan 2013. Since Jan 2013, the entire network has gone to the dogs. I'm getting 15-150 Kbps speed on my 4 Mbps tariff plan. Packet loss is ~50% and they just don't care. Moreover, they refused my rental waiver demand as well. Reliance broadband is worse than bullshit.

Ladies (if any!) and gentlemen, I present to you my "thunderous" 4 Mbps plan:

Better opt for dial-up than opting for Reliance broadband. Entire Pune city is facing this slow speed/packet loss issue since last 2 months, but they're simply not interested in fixing it.

I've already applied for YOU broadband. Let's just hope they cover my area.

RCOM policy: NO rental waiver for slow speed / packet loss issues. Rental waiver will be given only if your connection is totally down, that too for 72+ hours. I have limited options in my area. :(

@iChaitanya I had similar issues with Reliance connection for few days and then my connection was totally down. Moved to Tata Docomo broadband and its a million times better than reliance in terms of connectivity / stability, speed, no need to login and multiple devices work properly at the same time. Its a little expensive though (Rs.1499 for unlimited 1mbps connection).

If u are sure about giving up reliance connection, I would suggest you start disconnection process atleast one month in advance since they take 15 days to confirm disconnection and another month to collect the modem.

Can anyone tell me the reason of these f***ing high pings??? It will defeat the purpose of taking broadband for online gaming.

Too many issues for online gaming using reliance connection. Even BSNL is throwing up problems. Better get Tata or some other broadband.

They won't respond. Applied 3 times without any response from them..Screw it, if they are interested in getting customers let them take some interest and get back to us!

How good is TATA Indicom BB in Bangalore?

Are you able to use torrent sites and utorrent download at good speed or not?

I am thinking to get 2mbps unlimited for 699 plan. My main purpose would be web browsing, youtube videos 720p streaming and torrent sharing.

I'd it true that whenever Reliance Entertainment releases a film, reliance broadband blocks all torrent and file sharing sites for a month?

Reliance Netconnect+ Postpaid plans

Unlimited Internet Plans

Truly Unlimited ** 999

Wireless Internet, Broadband Connection, Reliance Netconnect – Reliance Communications
Is anyone using NetConnect+ ?

Is this really Truly Unlimited plan or does it have some FUP. Nothing specific is mentioned.

[MENTION=11737]s18000rpm[/MENTION] Last time I did try netconnect+ it was a disaster. Just get BSNL WiMax if Wired BB isn't an option. Although your online gaming options will be somewhat limited with it.

Disastrous, how? Can you tell me your experience :p

I have BSNL 3g, it's the most unreliable network I've experienced, normal browsing is incredibly frustrating, forget ticket booking :p

I just want a good connection for downloads.

For banking, ticket booking, gaming i can use Airtel 4G, but for Windows 10, game updates i need a good connection with reasonable data plans. Waiting for Jio. :))

[MENTION=11737]s18000rpm[/MENTION] 56kbps speed and huge lag. Couldn't do much. It was several years ago though so I'm hopeful the network infrastructure has improved a lot by now.
