I am looking for Wireless Internet Services for my lappy. I am bit confused between Tata V-Data Card and Reliance R-Connect plans. Users of these plans please share your experience about:

*average Speed in their city
*Connectivity coverage-Roaming
*Charges
*any more new plans in the market
*offers for downloads
..etccc

I 0wn a tata indicom connection, and so far am very happy with their service.

* average Speed in their city --> 140kbps
* Connectivity coverage --> Very good across Mumbai
* Roaming --> Free roaming all across india
* Charges --> 700INR per month for 1GB download (which i never reached yet)
* Offers for downloads --> None that i know of

The card will cost you 5000INR. They give away Huwaei EC321 CDMA card. Once the payment is done, you will get the card delivered at doorsteps in a couple of days. After that you will get bill everymonth end.

Ok. I guess 1GB is the amount of Data Transfer including browsing, and of course downloads too.

Saurav, I remember about Reliance R-connect. HP offered discount on installation of the card during my laptop purchase. I missed it out due to damn negligance. When I realised about it, the offer date expired! :-(

Hutch's EDGE card seems good...must check it out. Thanks for the link Saurav. But Tata VData card seems better. Good speed and less installation cost too.
I checked out Airtel. They are offering Data Card @Rs.6099/- i think most expensive compared to other players. Don't know about their service though..
