Getting slow speed on unlimited combo 550 plan - DSL_Unltd_Combo_550

it is showing

Hi,
I had brought BSNL EVDO pre paid connection (Prithavi Modem UE100) a month back from Lucknow. It was working fine in Lucknow, I was getting EVDO signal, avg speed 510 kbps approx and rssi -74 dbm. Right now I am in Bangalore , here I am getting only 1x speed, avg speed 23 kbps and rssi -125 dbm (sometime -79dbm also).
 
When I plugged my device first to laptop I get EVDO signal but after conneting it goes to 1x.
 
Not sure why this is happening I heard Bangalore has a good EVDO signal.
 
I tried to call BSNL cdma customer care on 1502; they told me to dail UP EAST customer care. When I dialed to UP east customer care they told me to dial 1502. 
 
Any thoughts on this.

So i visited today BSNL office and they were ready to provide me the evdo but they said that only Micromax data card is available, no prithvi or zte. But i have heard that Micromax-bsnl data card is not that good and has speed issues. I met one guy outside the office who claimed to be a distributor or something and he told me that there's a plan on zte modem costing me 4.5k total but the advantage will be that the unlimited plan comes with it is @Rs. 290 per month. And he was pretty sure that it was not wimax but an evdo connection. I told him i haven't heard any such plan nor it is on bsnl portal but he assured me that it exists and he will make sure that the bsnl officer in charge will give a personal guarantee to it. I am so confused now. Is that zte offer TRUE and also plz tell me is it ok if i go with Micromax modem. Location : patna

Does anyone have the new 10/20/50/100 Mbps High speed plans? They seem much better than Airtel's plans. What kind of connections are they?

 

http://www.tatadocomo.com/broadband-high-speed-plans.aspx

 

Update:

Connection is useless. They are barely able to provide 1.5 - 2 Mbps. Read post #109 onwards.

To all those who are thinking of going for Tata Docomo wired broadband, hopefully I can address some of your concerns.

 

I was so far using Tata Indicom Broadband with a monthly plan of Rs 1800 for 1 Mbps unltd.One day while browsing I came across the plans offered by Tata Docomo which  sounded too good to be true.I immediately called the Tata Docomo customer care and opted for  a new connection. After a bit of follow up, my connection was installed within a week.Here's my experience so far:

 

I opted for the 8Mbps (160 GB FUP) plan for Rs 1500 p.m. At the time of installation, the engineer admitted that even though the plan says 8 Mbps, users generally get between 5-7Mbps. A quick speed test proved this statment to be true.I appreciate this kind of honesty upfront  rather than the smooth talking executives who cheat customers on the pretext of false promises.

 

Its been 2 weeks since I had the connection and the overall experience has been pretty good. There have been almost no downtimes and the speeds stay withing the promised range, in fact of late I have sometimes observed the speed hover around the 7.5 Mbps mark.Installation charges are about Rs 1200 and they give a wi-fi router free of cost.

 

My suggestion to anyone who is looking to switch- go for it!

BJP breaks silence on Sec 377, says party will never support homosexuality

 

BJP President Rajnath Singh said, "We will state (at an all-party meeting if it is called) that we support Section 377 because we believe that homosexuality is an unnatural act and cannot be supported." It seems the BJP has now dropped its circumspection, probably on the assessment that the gay community is not electorally significant and the party stands to suffer a dent in its traditional base if it is seen to be supporting "unnatural acts".

Rumors about his demise on social channels... though seems inaccurate. He has been in hospital for the last couple of days. Quite serious conditions.

This seems to be the source behind the reports.

And they have removed the story and posted a retraction. Idiots.

This one has Woody Harrelson. How can I miss this show! 

recently i got this spectranet connection. They did underground fiber optic cabling and started the service called spectranet FOX in my area. the plan is 12 to 16 mbps  for 6 months. looking at the speeds they will provide, i got my airtel BB service discontinued.

 

I AM HIGHLY DISSATISFIED WITH THE CONNECTION.

 

 1) promised speeds 12-16 mbps ,you never get the promised speeds throughout the day. even right now i am getting just 3-5 mbps.

     why do ISPs do this? come on! if you dont want to give constant speeds then why the hell do you have to make false promises?

when they visit your home for a demonstration, such good marketing skills, overselling their product, promising this and that. 

but when it comes to the connection, its very poor.

 

2) its a daily glitch in the connection. from timings 9 pm to 12 pm i always get very low speeds like 1 mbps and very high pings touching 200 ms. i've got to play online games , but with such a pathetic ping im not able to play the games properly. and this is very irritating!

and this happens everyday

 

3) when i had the airtel connection i used to watch alot of youtube, surf internet and the data limit was 8 gb. with these activities not even half of my data limit was used, and around 4-5 gb was left unused per month.seldom, i used to download movies because once the data limit was reached, then speed degraded to 256kpbs(reason to change spectranet ISP). using this connection, in last 1 week the 5 gb of data usage has been shown in my spectranet account(5gb data volume used)

i myself have downloaded around 700mb of data THAT'S IT! i can accept even if i had watched 1080p HD videos on youtube, i could accept that i could've consumed data but still cant find what has used 5gb. if it could've been a theft over wi-fi, but whenever i am at home i connect through LAN cable and switch of the wifi service and whenever im not at home i switch off the router. then how come 5 gb of data has been consumed?! and i cant buy this fact that ONLY net surfing at watching videos on youtube would've consumed so much of data. i really find that spectranet is a cheat on this part. 

 

if someone using the same net plans from spectranet and facing the same issues please reply and put forward some solutions to my problem, so as how to get the promised service from my ISP.
