Recently I visited the reliance communications outlet near my house(hyderabad trimulgherry). I had asked them to give me a demo of the newly launched broadband plus data card. I had to pay my bill of my cdma 1x modem.
The attendant handed over me the laptop with the broadband plus data card connected. I initially browsed over some sites like microsoft.com, gmail.com, mouthshut.com, etc. It was an awesome experience. Believe me even when I was browsing I got a speed more than 1 mbps.
Then when I downloaded the IE8 file from microsoft ( 16mb) it just got downloaded when I approximately blinked my eyes for 10 times. The speed was awesome. I downloaded it with a speed of 2mbps and more.
Sad thing is that Tata Indicom doesn't give any live demo to judge itself. It does not give satisfactory customer support. I called them 100 times nearly to give a demo at my residence. they never came. I got frustrated.
But Reliance in order to resist the competition introduced the add on plan which all of us would like. Because we download huge files in short time ( with reliance). We generally turn our computers on for the whole night. and now there is no such need.
But do remember to set the data card in hybrid mode to ensure good downloading speed at all times. I stay in a house that blocks all netword signals( of all providers). But I managed to find few spots that give five point signal and all other places in my house give 2-3 signals. Even then I get a speed of 1mbps and more. But if you stay in a excellenty networked area, I think you should get nothing less than 2 mbps. Now they have introduced a 300 monthly rental waiver offer. What are you waiting for then? Go ahead with reliance.
Hurrah.......................
