aviator 3 Report post Posted July 5, 2009 Best Move Ever by BSNLI am using their EVDO service and its quite better as compared to other private operators , in terms of tariff / speed etc. Please let me know if anyone want any information of EVDO. Bro, Although BSNL EVDO is cheap and that's the reason i am using it for past 2 months now but in d past couple of days the download speed has gown down here in J&K circle to 30-40Kbps direct download (i am although using orbit download manager for higher speeds.) The worst issue with BSNL was Torrent download, the speed used to be 10-12kbps on account of blockage of outgoing ports by BSNL. But now, i am getting good speed for torrents @30Kbps approx. Also, the rapidshare issue is now resolved. I mean the IP issue issue.......... Kindly post ur experience................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MOBILE FAN 42 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 It gave me different speed in the different part of the city. At Jahangir Hospital it gave me between 1.1 to 1.8 Gbps. But at Lullanagar it gave me 100 to 400 kbps and in worst condition it gives 44kbps to 80kbps but that is very rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Promotional Offer – BSNL has reduced the sale price of PCMCIA type of NIC and EVDO cards to Rs. 1680/- and Rs 2100/- respectively. Offer valid till stock lasts or upto 30-9-09 whichever is earlier it what written in link. EVDO cards means :: EVDO USB modem, bcoz, they do't offer EVDO in PCMCI type.

Greatest 55 Report post Posted July 19, 2009 ^^ I went to the BSNL office, and they are saying that the Rs. 2100 offer is only for PCMCIA type cards.. Is there any adaptor/cable, which would provide a PCMCIA slot at one end, and USB at the other?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MOBILE FAN 42 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 ^^ ... It would surely solve some issue of mine.. I doubt. Because it seems that converter + PCMCAI card will cost more than the USB card. I think it would be better to go with USB Card. But still you buy the converter plz. update the forum with its price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greatest 55 Report post Posted July 21, 2009 You are right... I was searching the web for the adaptor... and everywhere it was more than USD 50... so I think it would be wise togo for a usb than a PCMCIA and then use an adaptor... Nevertheless, if I get to see a convertor for les, I shall surely update it here.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
