Avijeet 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2010 Dear All, I have BB 8830 "Siddik's" Currently on Reliance CDMA. I do have a BSNL Prepaid.. which i use for data/gpra as data doesnt work in CDMA for this. BSNL GPRS is very slow so i was just wondering..... if i opt for a BSNL 3G.. will it work? What bout the GPRS/DATA Speed? Will i be able to watch IPL @ Youtube? I know .. m sounding like a nobb... but that's my status on BB as i am unable make data work for me on CDMA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akg7091 4 Report post Posted March 25, 2010 But still, you can't use any apn which has a proxy. And BIS is too expensive compared to the normal gprs plans. Choose wisely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not on BES/BIS .. but how it is going to change/increase data transfer speed..?? Pls throw some light on this ( and any possible tweak to get maximum possible data transfer speed), which is i believe (theoretical maximum is 473.6 kbit/s) which means > 473.6/8 = 59.2 KB/s.
