They havn't officially launched only available in main Tata stores.

sujin

Well on one side network congestion reduces speed or else these ppl limit the speed by themselves frm their side I guess in case of Tata Photon.

sujin

Dude you are wrong here. I meant the speed is only reduced from 3.1 Mbps to 256 Kbps after you consume the 10 GB download limit. After this 10 GB again u r gonna get unlimited data transfer but at reduced speed which definitely makes it a unlimited plan

TGF

That would be throttling which again is a NO NO.

I understand what you want to say but, that's not fair.

Upto 3.1 Mbps Unlimited Connection should be Upto 3.1 Mbps Unlimited Connection and NOT 3.1 Mbps till 10 GB and then 256 Kbps.

Gabu

Please check the site again there are no unlimited plans now. Only 10gb plans

sujin

Well I felt something is better than nothing. When they dint give even that minimum 256 Kbps after 10 GB thr is no use of thinking about getting upto 3.1 Mbps for that plan. But stil as gabu said they have removed the word unlimited plan from their website no use arguing now

TGF

I understand why you suggested throttling but, even then they wouldn't be 3.1 Mbps Unlimited Plans. Good that Reliance changed it now

vatsa

Forget 3.1 Mbps guys ..!!! Once GSM 3G auction is done, technically speeds upto 7.2 Mbps is possible, But I wonder what the tariffs would be then..........???

sujin

lol man...they wil ask for atleast Rs.10000 per month with some 10 GB data cap for 7.2 Mbps then

Gabu

7.2mbps is max theoretical speed with ideal network conditions.
which is rare in choked Indian networks.

sujin

Theory can b applied only on papers not practically. Gabu is right here. Networks get choked and wat v all wil get in the end is 256 kbps..

TGF

That's one point.

The other is that most 3G Mobile Handsets support only upto 3.6 Mbps of 3G Speeds. So, 7.2 is NO WHERE NEAR

Gabu

By the time they would have network ready ... handsets + data cards will be readily available.
Telecom Nz already has this 7.2 mbps network. And they must be having handsets to support this.

sujin

Getting handset support for 7.2 Mbps is no big deal TGF. Getting the network ready witout congestion is d only biggest task in hand. As for handset it wont take more than a month for nokia and sony ericsson to design a device which is capable of handling 7.2 Mbps

vatsa

Well no need to look out for handsets always, the providers themselves provide data cards or usb stick.. etc.... { HOPE SO THEY ARE AFFORDABLE }..
But the matter of network congestion is true, especially in GSM its less reliable than CDMA for data comm...!!! More over even in the most reliable CDMA we won't get proper 3.2 Mbps ..
So I doubt such great speeds on GSM, But its possible .. unless we have quality network and good resource management by our operators....!!!!...

Gabu

True I have never gone over 1.2mbps in Rel BB+ .... and that when there are hardly any takers.

vatsa

^^^^^
At least do you get this 1.2 Mbps consistently or it varies ?????
What is the avg speed you are getting ????

Gabu

in day around 400-800kbps
in night 900-1200kbps

depends from site to site

sujin

Data cards and usb sticks are a pain in our purse vatsa, on one side they r too costly & on the other side they r not mobile like using a cellphone. So if v get handsets for such speeds I guess the cost of the device is justified besides being portable too

coolguy010

LOOOLL...
What r u guys talking ??
Handsets with 7.X mbps r AVAILABLE FROM A LONG TIME..
But thats a different technology its HSDPA (3.5G)
3G is UMTS .
And no one answered my ques. In other thread
Auction will be held for 3.5 G as well ??
And WHATS MTNL & BSNL CURRENTLY PROVIDING 3G OR 3.5G ?
