It appears TATA docomo will always lead in providing cheapest 3G plans. They now hold cheapest 1GB 3G data pack for one month for Rs. 96 only.

We have recently witnessed 3G data price slashes in the country, started by Reliance, however, TATA Docomo silently introduced one of the cheapest 3G plan so far. The plan is valid for 30 days and it comes at price of Rs. 96 only with 1GB of data usage.

Though India is one of the world's most populous country by the mean of total telecom subscribers of but 3G adaptation rates are really low in India. May be because of high price of 3G services, but with the recent price slashes, price of 3G data is now even lower than some 2G data packs.

Docomo proabably offers the fastest 3G net, but its a huge pain in the a** to get connected to the internet in the first place.. :(
this is the speed of 3G internet i got in Docomo :

I hope Vodafone reduces its prices of 3G plans. The day they reduce their prices, i will port to Vodafone as i've heard Vodafone gets connected to net easily. :D

Docomo's services in Punjab are simply fabulous! Not much in UP East & don't know about other states.

I have heard Docomo network isn't good in Karnataka.

BTW I was wondering if there's some app that records signal strength and GPS location data from many users an plots it on a map for a 'Waze' like crowd sourced coverage map?

Actually the problem with Tata docomo is their coverage and the Network equipments they use in their Core Network.If I'm not wrong they are using cheap vendors like ZTE and Huawei for their Network Equipments.On the other side they are trying to mitigate these flaws by providing ultra cheap plans for Customers!!!

But the bottom line is that what is the use of cheap plans with a crappy network?

I'm planning to port to Idea but I'm just lazy to do the procedures :p...I always hate paper works!!!

All the pages of today's times of india was filled with airtel 3g ads. Airtel was claiming that it provides the best 3g network coverage, customizes the aspect ratio of you tube videos so that they can buffer easily. Well, I got only one thing to say. Eat $!-!it.

But I don't understand. How can they offer 3G speeds at 2G rates? Isn't that odd?
