Reliance 3.1Mbps EVDO

S

The much awaited EVDO from Reliance is out. It comes with 3.1Mbps & nationwide roaming.
As usual its costlier than its competitor BSNL.

Details - *www.amitbhawani.com/blog/reliance-netconnect-broadband-evdo/
Tarrif - *www.amitbhawani.com/blog/reliance-evdo-tariff/

I too just saw that the last night. Looks promising, but will have to wait and watch for the results. Reliance is big name in mobile communications and if it tries and reduces the prices a bit, every other service provider will be forced to reduce as well. Till then keep my fingers crossed.

Terms & Conditions : *offers.connectindia.in/reliance/terms.jsp
Tariff : *offers.connectindia.in/reliance/tariff.jsp

Night plan is rs. 499/- and unlimited is of rs. 1750/- with national roaming.
Cost of USB data card is rs 3500/- and you get 2 months unlimited access of same value as free.

In the above listed plans - Reliance Netconnect team announces couple Unlimited plans but they are not really 100% Unlimited and there is a 10Gb limit/month on the unlimited usage policy, hence dont expect to download tonnes of data by opting for the Unlimited plans.

So much for the unlimited scheme.

yeah...looters

S

yeah. F**k this capping system.

H

these guys hav no right to call their capped schemes UNLIMITED.

btw has Airtel imposed this fair usage policy on the MO connections as well?

IMO these companies should be sued for false advertisements.

i think this is far better than tata's network anytime

UL plan is scrapped in most parts of country, so it will take some time before it is implemented on MO

Why not? Affected users must approach consumer court.

I don't think so.

^^ y not? Its got better speeds (its broadband) and also the night unlimited is way too cheap. Practically speaking, the tata's speeds suc* big time. MY friends have been crying on this issue!

T

^^The tariff sheet says that you have to pay Rs 2/MB on UL plan after 10GB data transfer. I will choose BSNL over Reliance if needed. Once Reliance launches EVDO service, TATA will be following soon.

S

Tata has already launched its EVDO, its called Photon. But its limited to 3 cities of which one is Chennai.

T

^^I know that.

The tariff is GREAT. I liked the 2.5 GB plan.
In my place, 2mbps 2Gb plan is available @Retts. 700 /- from a local operator
Considering that I will mostly be moving within the Mumbai urband and sub-urban areas, I think I will get good speeds an thus can be truly mobile.

reliance is the biggest cheater of all. What fckng crap man. You say plan is UL means its UL- period. 10gb limit :-x

- crap.
BSNL is still the best deal.

the only plan that i can possibly afford is the night ul one..its ok as i have wifi net provided by college.
bsnl offer is obviously better but it doesnt have cdma service every where.

A

but night unlimited will also have FUP ?

*www.rcom.co.in/Communications/rcom/RNetconnect/netconnect_broadband_tariff.html

**Unlimited Night Add-on Pack (applicable on Pay As You Go, Broadband+1 GB, 2.5 GB, 5GB Plan)
Unlimited usage plans will have a fair usage policy of 10 GB/month. Beyond which the customer will be charged at Rs. 2/- per MB

why they call this unlimited, it should be Broadband+ 10 GB Plan
AFAIK

Code:

Unlimited \Un*lim"it*ed\, a.
     1. Not limited; having no bounds; boundless; as, an unlimited
        expanse of ocean.
     
     2. Undefined; indefinite; not bounded by proper exceptions;
        as, unlimited terms. "Nothing doth more prevail than
        unlimited generalities." --Hooker.
          
     3. Unconfined; not restrained; unrestricted.

wait some more time guys the prices are sure to drop

I think the prices are already low(speaking of capped plans)

My local operator is prividing 2mpbs 2Gb plan for about 700/mo.
Reliance EVDO is providing 3.1 mbps down and 1.8 mbps up, 2.5 GB for 850/mo. It has advantage of being mobile.

Ofcourse these speeds mostly do not actually touch that mentioned by the ISP, but then this argument is applicable to both. And most of you know that dealing with a small local operator can eb frustrating many times.

You are not the same Rohan anymore

Nothing has changed(seeing in the mirror)

I doubt if they will provide 3.1 mbps speed in all places.

The connectionplan is not even unlimited as they have put limitation of 10GB. How come
they call a limited connection unlimited.

A

The FUP is a deal breaker.

Will wait till the Official launch date for a retraction.

In the event FUP is implemented, will opt for Tata Photon Unlimited where there is no FUP.

Reliance tariff sucks totally :-(

So finally BSNL EVDO or Reliance EVDO for Pune?

@angeleyes

Even photon has FUP

10 GB ?? biggest joke of the year

When will we get REAL Broad-Band in India ???

Got this connection for Rs.3500/-.
Speed is good enough; getting around 1.5mbps.

^^^^
What plan have you subscribed to and what is the tariff?

I have opted for 850 Plan with 2.5 GB data transfer limit. But it seems like 2.5 GB is not enough for me. I am planning to add a 10GB Night Add-on Pack with additional RS.199/month.

T

The BIGGEST problem with these connections is the Latency

V

reliance can always show a capped scheme as "unlimited plan"

what is TRAI doing on this?cant they see that reliance is cheating people

^^They have changed it..Its now called "10 GB Plan" and not "unlimited"

is it going to be available everywhere or in a few select areas?

Have you used it for bittorrent downloads ? What upload speeds are you getting ?

Is it dynamic unshared IP like normal broadband or Static Shared IP like BSNL EVDO ?
If the later, coupled with the 15GB bandwidth cap it SUCKS bad.

yeah and now we're seeing those sucky ads by Airtel about its 16 Mbps plan with a 40 GB downloading limit.. seriously.. who the hell will use the plan.. i bet people are going to check their e-mail only with that account.. watching videos would be fun but it will fill up the limit in no time..

On that plan we can download 50 GB in 7 hrs!!!.. what the hell was Airtel thinking when they launched this plan.. this plan is the best for gamers.. and nothing else..it would be fun playing games online on this plan..
