kshah 452 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Hi, I got 15 days free trial for 15 days from BSNL> They came and handed me modem. Its simple to install. Infact no installation is required. Speed yet to test extensively. Just have a look at speed test. I tested my Airtel BB and BSNL WIma side by side and they both seems to be comparable. Tomorrow will test for downloads of torrent (I dont use much except for downloading audio books) and also big files from other servers.o be Both are said to be 2 mbps BSNL WiMax Airtel BB Edited July 4, 2009 by kshah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arun 795 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 Wimax is entirely different from EV-DO @kshah: I hope it is Mobile WiMAX and not Fixed WiMAX? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kshah 452 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 I got free trial because in our industrial area they are offering free trial to the factories having plot area larger than some size. I don't know size. As pre commercial launch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shashank 8 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 In Whatever technology they launch Wimax, ADSL...don't know why they are stuck with those stone age plans.... There hasn't been any reduction in Broadband tariffs since 2+ years.. Anyways where are they providing this Wimax service? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 BSNL has best plans amongst all operators. Because they have few non complicated plans they are not attractive. In airtel I get 2 mbps, 10 GB plan for 1200 plus compulsory 200 voice add on. Where as BSNL was charging 1200 for 8 GB + 4 GB free after 6 months. Same plan but no complications.

starnet 7 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 Monthly cost is too high. I am paying Rs. 649 plus service tax for Airtel 256 kbps DSL and BSNL Wimax is priced at Rs. 1000 plus tax. There is no chance that such high-priced wimax will succeed in urban areas where DSL is available at much lower cost. I see that modem/CPE is from Soma networks. What is the exact model number of CPE? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
