bsnl EVDO is available in limited areas.even in UP(east) it is not available everywhere though chances of finding it there are much more than,say,in up(west) or other states.

Yes, EVDO connection do requires a dongle.
Not necessarily,you will get good speeds,despite staying so front. BSNL EVDO runs on CDMA technology,and if the tower in front of your room has such...then you will ENJOY,otherwise most of the towers which uses/runs on GSM tech. wont be of much help to you regarding EVDO...

I think our friend whitestar could elaborate more on this specifics. and guide you better.

EVDO is basically CDMA 3g like the usual GSM 3g.just like the normal 3g where you need 3g enabled network/tower EVDO also require an EVDO enabled tower nearby.you can not check if a tower is EVDO enabled by just looking so you have to ask bsnl guy for a trial to see if in your area EVDO signal is available.
