Sir john Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I have to buy a USB internet connection.suggest me indian mates,if anyone using USB internet . i mean like pendrive connection.
ganeshran Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Reliance Netconnect is good. But whichever one you buy get a demo in your place and check the speed in speedtest.net
Holysmoke Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Tata photon plus.. Altho nowadays I have stopped using that.. I use the wifi hotspot on my phone.. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
varun Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah, +1 to Reliance Netconnect.. I use that whenever I go to India these days. Sasta and Tikau
yoda Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah' date=' +1 to Reliance Netconnect.. I use that whenever I go to India these days. Sasta and Tikau[/quote'] Does it work on a mac? Do I need special drivers provided by Reliance?
ganeshran Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Does it work on a mac? Do I need special drivers provided by Reliance? I think it should work. I use it on linux without Reliance's dialer using wvdial. Something similar must be available for Mac too
The Outsider Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I was quite happy with Reliance. And yeah it works on a Mac and comes with all the required drivers. Otherwise, just go to one of their outlets and they'll set it up for you.
bulbul Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 check u will get proper signal in u r Room/house ... By listeneing to friends what i have understood was normally rooms in Ground floor recieve weak signals... if 3G chk Cost is managebale.....all 3G costs are going up...you wont get more than 1 GB for less than 400 rs.....even BSNL which is cheapest increased prices heavily in last 0ne month... Also i doubt u will get consistent download speeds in USB... I used IPAD BSNL sim on a Huwei usb for couple of months (unlimited 999 plan) now BSNL stopped that plan and changed it to 6GB for 750 and 9GB for 999 rs ... Used Reliance long time back got good speeds now no idea...
ganeshran Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Why do you need a USB internet connection? Do you travel a lot? A fixed line internet works out to be far more cheaper. I used to pay 900 odd bucks for a 1GB day, 10 GB night plan in reliance. The maximum download plan available was 15GB at 1400 odd. With airtel fixed line, you get 25 GB unlimited (speed reduces to 256kbps after the limit) plan for 1299 and 75GB unlimited for 1599. Also the speeds in fixed line are way more reliable than wireless net connection.
Jersey #10 Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 what are the normal net speeds in India nowadays? just wondering I remember the max being like 256kbps 5 years ago. Higher speeds were insanely expensive but available.
Magneto Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 You first need to check whether the Reliance Netconnect USB drive gives you the desired speeds from where you'll mostly operate. For example, my Reliance connection is really pathetic at my place, but since I travel a lot, I can bear with it. It gives me decent speeds elsewhere. You can try Tata Photon too. The Photon guys will come to ur place and give you a live demo, whereas the Reliance guys will probably not do that.
ganeshran Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 what are the normal net speeds in India nowadays? just wondering I remember the max being like 256kbps 5 years ago. Higher speeds were insanely expensive but available. We are perpetually stuck at 2mbps. Though there are 4 and 8 Mbps plans available. All are subject to technical feasibility and not available in many parts of the city.
Rajiv Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Out of Curiosity, who has the fastest service in India? and how much traffic is allowed
varun Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 what are the normal net speeds in India nowadays? just wondering I remember the max being like 256kbps 5 years ago. Higher speeds were insanely expensive but available. Hmm.. at home we have a 4MBps connection (Airtel Broadband) The Reliance Datacard was supposed to give me 4MBps too, but I could only squeeze 2-3Mbps out of it.
Holysmoke Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 I have always found tata to be better and faster than reliance.. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
