Yes, torrents do work and port forwarding is allowed. I get a green icon while using utorrent. My pc is on 24x7 and the download is @2.5-3 GB/day. The speed varies a lot and i have not experianced speed only till 170 kbyte/sec. however the avg speed is 40-50 kbytes. I am using it on roaming as the card was not available in pune and had to ask my cousin to source it for me from Nagpur(both cities are in same state). Sliding a CD into the EVDO antenna did improve the signal stability. Daytime speeds may **** sometime. I was not in favor of EVDO but had no choice. thankfully I ended up with a good and cheap connection.

I am a moderate downloader and usually download 30-40 GB/month. However, after getting BSNL EVDO my total download in a month was 70+ GB. considaring Rs.550 for the EVDO, its a steal. BSNL may not be best for blazzing surfing speeds (for me upto 100 KB works) but is good at downloads and torrents. U can get twice or thrice of 256 kb unlimited connection at almost half the price of it. There is no limit on download. upload speed ****s sometime. with all this my vote is for BSNL.

looks like you are missing a lot if you dont have a smartphone. Too bad that CDMA in India has very limited options for smart phones.
