Please must write area(state) within which you have been using internet through bsnl or other network provider…thanks
I got download speed of 2Mbps in chennai and the got around 1Mbps in madurai and coimbatore with same device.
Firstly BSNL has to teach their employees to talk on phone. They have a lot of attitude problem. Customer service from BSNL is totally 0%. I am sure they will never change unless its privitised.
How to check the bsnl 3g broad band usage?
is any websites to check the usage?
Hi

the service of bsnl 3g is very third class.i request all my frnds not to opt for this service this is the most third class internet service and simply a wastage of money.so never opt for this.

Dev,
Iam using same handset Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic with 3G sim card conected to my Laptop in Chennai. Speed is average, i get a download speed of 30-60 kbps, browsing speed is also average, better than Airtels Mobile office.
The problem is 3G ntwork is very poor, keeps dipping down, and bcoz of which (and also due to 3G) the battery goes down very fast. Iam not really happy. and its expensive too if you use it more (Rs 1 for 1MB).
