starnet 7 Report post Posted March 4, 2009 I have this offer from my vendor for bulk Sierra EVDO cards in 25USD. Have you looked into buying GSM/HSDPA USB modems and selling them here? May be you can import cards similar to those that are used by AT&T 3G customers in the USA and sell them here after unlocking. We can use those modems with GPRS/EDGE untill 3G is widely available here in India. Right now GPRS/EDGE modems that are available for Rs. 2400 or more are too costly for the value that they provide because those cards will become obsolete in around a year or so from today.

So Reliance is Rs.1200 more but has full mobility. Edited March 5, 2009 by commonman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starnet 7 Report post Posted March 5, 2009 This is the lowest price in the market and a potential game changer subjected to 3 conditions: 1. Service is reliable and not a joke like the EVDO service provided by BSNL. This is easy to do for reliance given that EVDO is a proven technology and is already being used in the USA at large scale. 2. Connection should be real unlimited and should not have limits such as the FUP rules of Airtel. 3. Pings should not be very high as they are in case of Netconnect right now. I see pings of 700ms to servers in USA on Netconnect and pings to USA based servers are well over 1 second in case of Tata indicom plug2surf. Basically we are talking about a potential 3.1 mbps unlimited connection for about Rs. 1930 per month (inclusive of service tax). If the service is of good quality then it will start much needed price wars in the broadband market in India. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So Reliance is Rs.1200 more but has full mobility. It would all depend on the stability of the connection. As someone mentioned above, BSNL's EVDO is joke, if Reliance's EVDO is stable then it can't be compared with BSNL EVDO. I hear from testing phase reviews that the connection was "very stable and good". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MOBILE FAN 42 Report post Posted March 6, 2009 In the initial phase when the service is starting and when the users are less generally the service is good. However the real test begins when there are 1000 + users hook on the same tower. Its premature to compare R-EVDO to BSNL-EVDO. But I would still say the price difference is huge and a very important decision pointer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
