The battle for Wireless broadband intensified as BSNL now has a competitor – Reliance. We review the BSNL 3G USB interface DataCards for HSDPA [a 3G service]. Kindly note that 3G calling and Voice services has been withdrawn in certain circles until the security equipments are deployed. 3G / EVDO broadband / data services is not related to the same issue.
The picture on your left is the DataCard that you will plug into your system to access 3G broadband. Ideal Data transfer limits using this card are 3.6 Mbps Download and 384 Kbps Upload. The data card supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista and also Mac but not Linux. Additional support for VAS such as in-built phone book for contacts management as well as SMS facilities including Group SMS.
BSNL 3G broadband services is currently available in 11 cities and will cost you Rs 3,000 for Unlimited Plan.
Update:
The cost of MMX 300G DataCard is INR 3801.00.
I have a BSNL 3G Data card. It works like a charm, no hassles faced what so ever.
I am a user of BSNL 3G wireless broadband. This is one among the waste network in the country itself. I am not able to connect to the 3G option always. Insted of that it’s automatically connecting to the 1x service which is providing by Bsnl as secondary one. There is enough signal in our area showing enough four bars out of total five bars which is showing signal strength.But still it’s not working properly. It’s one of the best time killer through browsing if you use it.
Hi guys keep posting reviews,
we need reviews for products, only by reviews we can make a decision how is that product performing and let other people know abt the product.
Earlier reliance has upto its promises, their 3.1 mbps is not performing well, they should give same type of services to each and every customer, whats the use if u giving services to 10 people and making 20 people fool.
These new giant companies coming in wireless segment cant put more towers antennas to provide better services for which their loyal customers pay heavy charges.
when broadband will be cheaper like phone calls.
so keep posting reviews.
plz give me more information trough mail and phone
thankyou.
Hi, Can anyone provide me info about the ip address of 3GData Card of BSNL. The modem , as soon as you install, loads a Firewall which prevents me to log on to ATT network. I shall have to somehow switch off the Firewall.
Asish
BSNL 3G sucks….it doesnt have dynamic IP support that deprives you from using that for office VPNs, their call center guys don’t even understand this when you try to complain. I wonder how can this be a next generation technology when it doesn’t support dynamic IP addresses, and be sure BSNL 3G is only for browsing internet and NOT for working from home, Hence this so called grand old technology which they say is “NEWEST” sucks!!! The tariff is also not value for money.
