JAX 1 Report post Posted December 26, 2003 I am also getting similar speed....about 50 to 60 kbps...nowhere near their claim:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted December 27, 2003 R Connect speed varies depending on the SDCA where you are using. If it is a bigger SDCA with more customers, the speed would be less, while in less populated SDCA's, the speed should be more. Also, the speed is better during early mornings.

rshivk 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2003 Speed is quite good - if it is so, there are lot of errors in transmission leading to either less effective throughput or corrupt downloads or both. I had bad experiences and have posed the problem to Reliance technical team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aashiq 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2004 whts the differnce between kilobits and kilobytes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted January 5, 2004 There are 8 kilobits for every 1 kilobyte. So 115 kilobits gives you around 14 - 15 kilobytes only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neel 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2004 Comparing with other ISP like Sify and HCL Infinity or Dishnet in Bhubaneswar I think Reliance India Mobile's Internet speed is good and ok. I admit sometime it's data transfer is slow,but usually it's speed varies from 7 to 25 Kilobytes per sec. How abt ur cities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunil_jok 2 Report post Posted January 10, 2004 hello neel, and welcome to the forum i once went to webworld and checked the speed from there, and i got bout 5 kbps... it might be avg speed. but those of us who use cable it doenst give extra speed, when we want to download something fast, and at present the rates offered by bsnl is very cheap. i think their latest offer is a new landline connection for internet and a certain amt as rent, and then the call carge to 17 no is 60 paise for 3 mins or so... so its more cheaper. reliance is charging 40 ps per minute.. but i cant really say an opinion, i guess the opinion of those who have used it recently like you would be more valuable.

harikris53 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2004 The speed varies from 80 kbps to 10 kbps but my problem is the connection hangs after a while, neither disconnecting and reconnecting as it is supposed to do Nor transmitting any data. If I manually disconnect and reconnect then it works for another 5-10 minutes and then the old story of connection without data transfer. hari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sunil_jok 2 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 well it would show like that coz the speed would increase a bit when ur downloading the same file again. must be due to server caching. but the best way to determine the speed is to run the test at various time of the day. also check this site. http://www.pcpitstop.com you can check your connection speed, do anti virus scan and test ur computer and so on. btw i used it to check the speed of connection when i was testing at RWW. i got just 5 kbps. i dont know how it would perform now.

hovs 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 The speed is destined to get lower once more customers buy the data cable and connect to the net. I think a very small percentage has bought the data cable. I am not aware of the numbers, but the pc penetration in our country is quite low. Amongst them, the number of users interested to use the R-conncet service will be lesser. As far as speed is concerned (I have been using the R-connect almost immediately since they introduced the data cable) and it has been very erratic and compared quite evenly with the BSNL dial up connection. The connection to the net, however was almost instantaneous without the screeching modem sounds. As of now, it looks the BSNL tariff is lower (60 ps per 3 mts + 10 ps per min for ISP) which is 90 paisa for a three minute call. And you don't pay 200 rs per month. The best part of it is the connection will be on throughout and u will not get inflated R-Connect bills (because the R-connect goes into dormancy when ever the data transfer stops and reconnects again when we click another link or other button). Even the cost of the data cable is quite expensive at 1200/-. The best option for our city (many areas) is cable internet where they charge from something around 500 rs. service tax included. If u intend to use the net for long hours or have several downloads etc, cable connection is the best option. You can install a download manager, start the download process, switch off the monitor and go to sleep! I have downloaded fedora core linux in one go (5-6 hours).

The best option for our city (many areas) is cable internet where they charge from something around 500 rs. service tax included. i m sure u ll not be able to carry ur cable internet connection wherever u roam thruout the country. do think about such things before criticising... jigar trivedi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niket 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2004 Well, For hovs, his tendency to criticizing RIM. so this type of statement is not new from him. But if he do it by well balanced thinking then it is worth to read his posts. R-connect is 5 to 6 time faster then Dial-up. and in night time BSNL connection is hard to get. in Day time BSNL dial-up cost about 30 RS. and R-connect cost just 24 Rs. per hour. Reliance is serving in about 1200 cities. and my city of one of them and here in my area CABLE internet connection is not yet come. some providers are planning to start in next six months. So think from that 1200 cities how much cities have CABLE connection. And if cable cost Rs.1200 is high then what about Rs.6000 cost of CABLE modem. and yet china made cables are available at just Rs. 300 - 600 only. And if u use FWT or FWP (Fixed wireless phone) then Same R-connect speed u get at Price of BSNL's Dial-up. with Effective monthly rental ZERO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
