Best Wireless Connection Data Card USB in India
Nowadays everyone has a Laptop in India because the pricing of the laptops have come from high xxxxxRs to low xxxxxRs and now everyone is in need of a wireless internet connection to connect to the internet and always stay in touch. All the shopping malls and airports are now equipped with WiFi internet connections, but what is the option when there is no WiFi and you want to stay online while travelling?
Thats the time when you are looking for a wireless Datacard or USB option to get connected wireless all over India while travelling and let me introduce you with the Top3 available wireless data card connections -
- Reliance Netconnect – Reliance is currently the best wireless connection in India which can be used for both
laptops and desktops and the monthly subscriptions start from just 400Rs/month and currently a promotional offer is running where in a free data card is offered. The download speeds are ranging from 15-25kbps when you opt in for unlimited data download package which is the best download speed offered in India on wireless internet connections. - Tata Indicom Plug 2 Surf – Tata indicom broadband offers a internet compatible connection for laptops and PC’s where in you can surf internet anywhere in india with internet speeds upto 153 kbps though the practical speed is 20kbps only. The USB modem rental starts from 99Rs/month with time based and data based plans. You can get more information on this at ichoose.in
- Airtel Wireless – With Airtel’s Wireless Internet, you have the freedom to access the Internet anytime, anywhere across India. It enables Internet, Email, and Office applications with real-timesecure VPN access to corporate applications whilst on the move.Airtel Data Card is the superior PC Data Card solution which delivers wireless internet capabilities to laptops and notebooks, by providing EDGE and GPRS technologies in a single PC Card package.
From the above 3 wireless USB/Data Card connections iam personally very much satisfied with Reliance Netconnect connections and i would recommend it to anyone who would be planning to buy one, but again always go for the external USB connection rather than the data card which is plugged into the internal slot in the laptops. Also review, rate and post your experiance on the best broadband connections in india.
Marketing of Reliance going on. Ambani would be happy to see this.

This is a nice piece of info.
AS you mention Rs.400/- a month plan – Swift 40.. The free usage is “20 hrs. day, 20 hrs. night” … can you explain what does this mean…
thanks for sharing the information
[Reply]
@ FashDesigns – The package options meant that you can use 20 hours in day time and 20 hours in night time for free and the extra usage time will be billed post paid.
[Reply]
Amit what speed it reliance giving you? last time i went to webworld yahoo took 10mins n never loaded with it!
Plz tell me in detail abt which plan u using too.
[Reply]
20 hours in day and 20 hours in night… per month?
well if its that, then i think its is low!
[Reply]
@ Sunny – As i said earlier iam having a 10-20kbps download speed which normally varies based on the signal strength, iam in the 1500Rs monthly package.
@ FashDesigns – What else can you expect in the start 400Rs package
[Reply]
Well i use MTNL Gaurda at 299Rs. per month unlimited usage.. with download speed touching 25-30kbps.. but then i use FWP.. i have not testing it on the mobile connection of Gaurda.. but i guess it would be same..
[Reply]
Yep if you see here http://www.techtime.co.in , I have done lots of reviews about these data cards, nice one.
[Reply]
I am waiting for Delhi to go WiMax.
Too Bad Hyderabad won’t have it. :p
[Reply]
BSNL is having a dataplan on its tarang Mobile. But I dont know, they are having a instrument to use with a laptop or not ? .
Cost is just 250 for unlimited net usage.
[Reply]
as fas as my knowledge BSNL has unlimited usage pack @ 600 a month & is not wireless in karnataka… & btw… I m thinking to buy RELIANCE data card but i dont have a permanent laptop … I will buy that toooo very sooon….
[Reply]
Well i have tata indicom 786 plan.. unlimited but no laptop… he he .. i mean i have pc to access the internet
[Reply]
“are ranging from 15-25kbps when you opt in for unlimited data ….speeds upto 153 kbps though the practical speed is 20kbps only”
Man u’ve got confused between kbps and KBps. :–)

[Reply]
Don’t buy Tata Plug n Surf. It is a Horrible card and one gets surprise bills. For using the cards for 25 hours I have started getting bills of 1800 Rupees. Their call center guys say they are helpless and there is no way to get this resolved.

HI
Can anyone please guide me, I have recently bought the relaince usb modem, which plan will be more better to go for 1. Data based 2. Time based.
My usage is I hardly download anything.
[Reply]
@ Sushant Saurabh – Even if you are going to use internet for very less time i would suggest you to go for freedom 650 plan where you get unlimited time internet usage with 1Gb data download, since you are not going to download anything using this wireless internet.
[Reply]
Thanks Amit for the information, But one thing the USB Modem of reliance speed is pathetic, its upload speed is hardly 32KBPS and download is 40KBPS where they boast of 153 KBPS. I am using high end m/c though with 2 GB of RAM. I have checked the same with airtel broadband and its speed is upload 143kbps and download 118kbps.
I think data card spped is really bad.

hi
i have recently bought a laptop… i wanted to know which datacard wud b the best amongst reliance or airtel or tata… i have heard that airtel is much cheaper than reliance?? is this true and how good is it? if someone could help me on that please….
thanks
shikha
[Reply]
@ Sushant Saurabh – There is no way to increase the speed but better try to deactivate the softwares which keep auto updating on your PC to save some bandwidth.
@ Shikha – hey Shikha reliance is better in my experiance since it offers better uptime and good download speed which they promise.
[Reply]
Hi
i want to purchase usb data card.Can anyone tell me which one is better among available in market? I need better connectivity and good signal wen i move 4m one place to another? Plz tell me download speed too?
[Reply]
Hi,
Just checked out all the tariffs.
Airtel is the best with 999 Rs for unlimited acess….
I want to get it…… But i have a macbook….. Does it work on it? Plz advice
[Reply]
the best usb modem around is tatas they offer u a constant 153 kbps connection speed n a dwnload speed of near about 15
this reliance and airtel are not even sure of their speed they say ul get upto 200 kbps but the reality is sumthin different n tata is the cheapst 1000/- for unlimited and also the insatllations are also low
[Reply]
thank u for the reply dude……. are u using TATA … If so r the speeds really 15 kbps ……. do they provide the piece on a rental basis
[Reply]
i am using reliance data card model ZTE and it provides seemless data rate of 17KB and its the good option to buy out….
[Reply]
I am using REL DATA CARD 1500 unlimited plan. Using it like hell.
anyways I am quite happy with the services (although i love my BB 256 KBPS UNLIMITED AIRTEL) but on a move this is the best. I have also tried TATA and AIRTEL Data Cards but frankly speaking they SUCK.
So go for REL Data card they really rock.!!!

the best usb modem around is tatas they offer u a constant 153 kbps ,THAT WAS WHAT THE CO. REPRESENTATIVE PROMISED when my usb modem was activated on 1st this month, AND wow I GOT THIS SPEED FOR 7 DAYS only???, from 8th day onwards the speed is stuck to 115.2kbps, whether i use net at dead of night or day time , IT REMAINS constant 115.2KBPS. This is cheating on part of tata’s since their representative promises they give better speed i.e 153kbps than Reliance which promises higher speeds but gives only 115kbps.The service center did not help since my mODEM nos.10digits they did not know, is supposed to come with 1st bill. My plan is unlimited Rs1000/-, the reduced speeds mean that many times i am not able to brouse 2 sites simultaniously, or trade shares online??? dont know whether i shd get rid of tata internet services
[Reply]
hi
i am using the reliance data card. i am getting the downloading speed around 10 kbps. by this i couldn’t download the torrents. the speed is very low. so i am thinking to jump to bsnl. is bsnl launched its wireless network cards??? If yes specify the plans and the downloading speed. Thanks in advance.
[Reply]
@Basil
Thanks for ur comments…
i was confused to decide between TATA & Reliance… 1000/- for an unlimited plan may tempt me towards TATA … One more question …
Do they provide the USB modem on Rental basis?
[Reply]
tatas do not rent modem, u have to buy it outright
[Reply]
Yeah “naveen” you have to buy TATA modem and the modem cost is reduced to some 2.5k and which is better than paying rent i think
TATA suddenly started giving good service… I dont know what happened LOL..

can u tell me about the prepaid netconnect plans
[Reply]
why we should use external usb connctions rather than pcmcia card?
[Reply]
@deepan
The latest plans u can find in the respective service provider’s websites and u can use usb connection instead of pcmcia card because the usb u can use it for PC’s also and not only for laptops and some laptops doesnt hav pcmcia slot so this is the alternative

The problem i was facing in getting download speeds out of my recently acquired Tata Plug 2 Surf Whiz was solved by one of my tech friends, who removed a virus from my computer and now i am getting higher speed of 230kbps from the previous 115.2 kbpc, with easy dowloads also now i am able to enjoy lots of music from Internet radio day in n out. This info i wanted to share.
[Reply]
but friends i have to confess again that today in the morning when i again switched on the net, the speed is bask to 115.2 Kbps, and since there is no question of catching a virus since i did not browse anything, (except internet radio), AFTER FORMATT TO MY PC, i fail to understand why this is happening out of the tata plug 2 surf card. I WANT TO ASK MY MORE KNOWLEDGABLE FRIENDS (since Tata service centre is not answering my queries) COULD THIS HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH CATCH MEMORY OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE.
[Reply]
well i have bought usb netconnect from reliance…i have opted for plan 650/month..is it 24 hrs free for net surfing or not..if we exceed 1GB then how much will it charge.
[Reply]
whenever i contact customer care they ask for account id which is a 12 digits number ..but i don’t have this number with me…i want to know how to get this number….please let me know….
[Reply]
@ Rohit – The 650 Plan offers you the highest speed possible with a maximum download of 1GB data/month and after that you will be charged att he rate of 2Rs/Mb of data transferred.
The number they are asking is i guess of the reliance SIM card number which you recieve while signing up for this service.
[Reply]
Amit- Thanks for your instant reply….
[Reply]
will the reliance data card or airtel or tata plug and surf will work with MAC o.s.(apple)if yes :fine ,but if no :is there is any other way to install these product on MAC plz let me know

[Reply]
Gaurav here is the solution for your question – Wireless Internet Connection Guide on Apple Mac Book
Deepan – Iam a user of Reliance netconnect service so i would suggest you the same because i have got very bad services with TATA Broadband so my personal recommend is to go for Reliance data card. No idea about Airtel.
[Reply]
thank you amit…
can you tell me is timebased plan best for a little net user?
and i have laptop..should i go for the pcmcia card or usb modem?
[Reply]
one more question..

[Reply]
deepen has asked a very good question..well
i was also thinking about the billing problem of reliance netconnect..as i have already purchased netconnec and till now the service is excellent…speed is good…i would suggest everyone to select netconnect..its a good option…
[Reply]
I want to know few thing
1) for reliance net connect do customer need to use phone as a modem.
2) if I taken connection in mumbai, and then i moved to pune, will i charged for roaming. (is there any roaming charges)?
[Reply]
is the prepaid option available of reliance netconnect allover india?i mean specially kolkata? can i use the prepaid vouchers on data card(pcmcia)? plz help me..
[Reply]
@ Sanjay :
1) for reliance net connect do customer need to use phone as a modem.
> In case of Reliance Netconnect the company provides you the option to buy a Data card or a modem which costs from 2800 – 3200Rs.
2) if I taken connection in mumbai, and then i moved to pune, will i charged for roaming. (is there any roaming charges)?
> I dont think there would be any roaming charges because i have myself used the connection in bangalore & delhi though the connection is registered on hyderabad address.
@ deepan : Never heard about the prepaid options in case of these net connect packages. Do you have any link to this info?
[Reply]
here is the link i’m sending you..plz check it and reply..

Reliance Netconnect is WORST!!! Do not buy this product. The speed depends upon the network availability & varies as per area. Even then you won’t get good speed. Mail gets disonnected lot of times

I bought a reliance net connect once and my mother lost her sleep for 2 months. Every other day they will call my mother and say ” We will put you son in Jail if you dont pay whatever bill we send.” All their promises before you subscribe are mere cheatings.
They take custome voice form promising to change the plan and forget about it the moment you leave their office.
The executives are trained in how to cheat customers. Their Service Assuarance cell knows only one thing “Escalate Issues”.
Even though, they admit their mistake, they will not clear it.
They dont care about Common Sense, Laws or any guidelines.
whatever they do, you will have to pay the bills whether write or wrong.
so beware,buy reliance phone only if no other option exist
[Reply]
I am totally blank on this terminoligy. I just want to know how or whether it is possible for me to access internet on my laptop when there is an airtel broadband connection on the pc at home. I want to connect to the net in my room and the pc is in the hall. I was told to get a router. Can u tell me what this means and how much it costs.
Thanks
[Reply]
VERY IMPORTANT – Before going in for wireless data card/usb (Airtel, TaTA OR rELIANCE), make sure that the singal strength of Cell phone service of Airtel or Tata or Reliance at your house/location is full strength. If not, then you’ll have a connection problem. Airtle & Reliance signal at my house fluctuates between 2 – 4 bars every hour. Vodafone is full strength but does not offer wireless internet

Hey, donot waist ur time for wondereing about wireless internet its all shet, just buy a mobile with GPRS and take a Airtel prepaid connection there u can activate internet withe Rs 15 /- per day [24 hours] with a speed of 43kbps is not a good thing about airtel just go for that
[Reply]
I am using airtel(mobile office) service with an edge enable phone(N73)nd use the bluetooth to connect nd get a descent speed of 20-25 kbps nd im paying 199/mth for an unlimited plan… nd fell its much better then investing at least (Rs2500-4000) on a datacard cause still i can stay connected on move..

my spouse is in Hyderabad, and i am abroad. to make things easy to talk, we bought a reliance usb wifi. it has turned out to be real waste, since we are not able to have a voice chat using this wifi… anyone suggest why is it so? is it a single out issue? Earlier before moving to hyderabad, with bsnl broad band there was no problem. Can any one make a hint, what to do?
[Reply]
@ Antony : The point is that we are discussing about a wireless internet service where you cannot expect a high data download speed and you are looking for voice chats using this internet services which is not possible and you need real broadband internet with speeds more than 256kbps. In case of wireless internet you can just it for emailing and some emergency purpose or whenever you are on a travel because you cannot move a wireline internet services everywhere. Hope it makes your doubt clear!

[Reply]
the first mistake u ever make is buy a data card. Be it a reliance netconnect, tata plug 2 surf whiz, or any hell.
For all those willing 2 have a reliable net connection, there is hardly any option for BSNL broadband.
-No over-billing
-Optimum speeds
-No drop-outs
-500 plan-total free surfing.
-Lowest download charges.
-All together an excellent package.
-So i suggest, get a BSNL broadband as early as possible.
Although it may take a while for the connection to be installed but after that u should rarely have any problems,

“you can surf internet anywhere in india with internet speeds upto 153 kbps though the practical speed is 20kbps only”
Google indexes just about any crap. The writer is either clueless about kilobits and kilobytes or does not know how to write proper sentences.
The advertised connection speed is 153 kilobits/s and the download speed is 20 kiloBytes/s.
I wonder if someone taught him that 8 bits make up a byte. So 153/8 = 19.125 kBps
The writer on the other hand is talking as if they are cheating by providing ONLY 20kBps. Hilarious.
This article is misleading at best.

I am using Reliance netconnect for last 8 or 9 months with an advance payment for 12 month.. I am satisfied with the speed as it is good for a wireless connection…115 kbs shown in computer actuals are 20 kbps approx.. but
one problem i got in this connection is that when i am using it for sometime then it shows connected but after sometime when i browse sites than there is no data transfer (at that time it shows full signals and shows connected in window…)and when nothing happens after repeated refreshing of pages then i have to disconnect it from Reliance netconnect window and then Reconnect it from there…
I have to do it again and again..otherwise its speed goes down….
can anybody tell me what is the problem.. what i thought this is a common problem in wireless network becoz my data card is 100% okk and network are full.. but we have to disconnect and then reconnect it again and again.. ..

this is amazing,,, a post with so many replies.. lol

I’m a Mac user…The only data card that works with Macbook’s and other apple devices is the newly launched Vodafone Usb modem @ 6600 Rs for a year unlimited (free usb modem)..Speed is also better then reliance, tata or airtel but dun know how much speed it practially gives…For Mac users, u need to install a setup which comes along the device…For windows user, u just plug it n surf…no setup required!
However, if u ask me..mac is a complicated device..the only thing that works with it is a broadband wi fy connection…

[Reply]
Hey i’m plannig to go for data cards for my laptop. So which one should i prefer so that it would be economical to me and i could use it for browsing. And how much will the data card cost and what would be the monthly rent for the usage of data and how much will i be able to download using it per month and what speed will i get. I would be thankful if anyone answers to my queries who already have a very good experience in it. I stay in Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh).

I’ve been using Airtel for about a week. I’m a longtime IT guy. Unfortunately I’m from the U.S.A. and Airtel pretty much doesn’t want me to have this. I’ve gotten used to Indian bureaucracy and lines, but nothing comes close to this difficulty. After 1 week Airtel sent a representative to a local friend’s home to verify that he/she knows me. When Airtel was unable to reach them at home during business hours they shut off my USB Dongle Service. I was already told by Airtel that if they couldn’t perform multiple validations of my existance then they would 1) shut off my service 2) refuse to refund any of my 5K Rupee prepaid
Well my hat is off to them, they promised to screw me, and they did. Oh and there was no option but to pay in cash so there is no calling the credit card company to dispute the payment. If I wasn’t living in a hotel while working here I would have ponied up for a cable/dsl option. Somebody cal the Waaahmbulance.

I just want a clarification…when ull are talking about speeds of upto 115-120 kbps,are ull referring to the surfing speed or the download speed.
In simple terms…are ull referring to kilo”bits” per second or kilo”bytes” per second.
Coz im looking for a 2 mbps wireless connection and apparently such a connection is not yet available in india.
I want a minimum 512 kbps connection for my laptop & no wires etc. coz i want portability.What would you suggest??
Thanks in advance!!CHEERS.

[...] with different telecom service providers and this the reason they are offering Data Cards for wireless internet services using GPRS enabled cards with sending/recieving SMS [...]
Never ever take Reliance ZTE Data Cards. The worst data card i have evr seen no speed at all. Promoises are made at the time of purchase. I have been struggling to all service centres from last 1 month noting has been done and everything happens just after the warranty is finished.
U can go for airtel…

Hey buddy,
I am planning a trip to India. I have a laptop which has a built in wireless access card. I wanted to know what is needed to be done to be able to access the internet wirelessly. I would imagine that these data cards themselves provide the functionality provided by the wireless card built into the laptop. So is there any other option that the ones you have already mentioned. And also something a bit faster than 20 30 kbps, i assume it is kilo bits per sec and not kilo bytes

after using reliance net connect sim i would like to say something.lotne ka isse accha bahana nahi mila kya? the speed is very poor and frequent disconnection occurs.now in my store if anyone ask me about reliance net connect i suggest them to better use airtel mobile ofice service which is much more better than it.and rs 250 /month + unlimited download are other great features of airtel mobile office.

they all do not work with the apple macbook laptops and we cant use them.company doesnt provide them.only vodafone has a mac compatible one but its way to costly
[Reply]
Wat about bsnl wireless??????????
[Reply]
I think the BSNL Data Card is better than all if they launches 3G Spectrum.
Without 3G now the BSNL Data Card cost Rs2800, Registration Cost Rs. 250. The plan cost Rs.250/Month for unlimited usage at 144Kbps. The Downloading speed vaies from 15 – 20 Kbps which depands on the signal strength.
When the 3G Spectrum launced by BSNL then the speed of browsing and downloading will increase upto 200%

I have been using tata plug 2 surf usb wireless internet for the past 8 months its speed is moderate and good i would suggest u all to either swicth 2 tata indicom usb internet or idea netsetter other than this reliance ,airtel ,vodafone all are pathetic.

hi, thanks for the info. I work in the north east. Reliance does not work here – so i had to give it up although i am based in chennai. No one will buy the wireless modem. Next i bought airtel – although using EDGE, speed anywhere other than chennai is less than if you connect through your nokia phone with gprs enabled airtel sim. i have given up that also. Tata indicom does not work in north east. BSNL data card no one has an idea about – can someone enlighten me please? thanks
[Reply]
Most of these companies, are fooling the CUSTOMERS, RATES are too high. Speed is also not good enough you can only check emails. And if you want to work 3 websites, can’t do. the real data offering is just 10-12 kbps. But even TRAI is also not checking them.
Advise to Dr Subramanian: Please dont move to BSNL, not even if offered FREE. They are the WORST service provider in india. It’s good not to have anything, better than BSNL.
As far as service is conern private companies still TOP the list.
I have been a internet user since last 11 years, and used different companies.
MY LIST IS HERE:
AIRTEL : PRICE is too high, but service 4/5.
TATA: PRICE is too high, but service 3/5.
Relaince: PRICE are low, but service 1/5.
ENJOY GUYS.

Guys i am using BSNL data card since 6 months.Its the cheapest and the fastest if you compare to Reliance an Tata indicom , these priveate providers charging too much as tarrifs. I am using BSNL unlimited wireless internet for just 420 Rs per month. I don’t think that any private wireless internet operator can’t even beet the BSNL with the tariffs and the speed.
I brought this data card for 3200 Rs. Its called Hawuai data connect(its a chinese manufacturer) which linked with BSNL. To take a connection you need to fill a application form at your nearest BSNL office, then pay the 3200 of amount as cash for the device. You need to pickup the device from the BSNL office when they says( usually it takes 3 to 5 days). At the time of pickup they will tell you all the details that how to use this device proparaly as usual you will recieve a user name and password with the device. The package includes 1) DATA CARD 2) USB CABLE 3) EARPHONE WITH MIC 4) DRIVER CD. Guys you can use this device for phone calls, if need.
Its simple to use just install the driver first then attach the device and logon using the username and password. There is only one plan is available which is 250 Rs unlimited , (taxes and other charges of 180 Rs will be extra ) i am receiving the 420 Rs bill every month( if you use this device for phone calls then you need to pay extra of 120 for FMC charges, i don’t recommended it,BSNL says that you will have 20 units of free calls available in every month but don’t try to use these free calls becoz if you call any body even once then for phone activation BSNL charges 120 FMC charges even its free calls so don’t use this device for phone calls.)
The speed is very good. Usually i highly downloads. Lots of them are torrents ( please search the internet if you don’t know what is “torrent”) and the direct downloads.
The speed is usually from 11Kbs to 25 Kbs depending opon the torrent seeders and the server availability. If you don’t surfing the internet in the back ground you can get at least 16 to 18 Kbps of download speed. From good servers. The last month i downloaded almost 11 GB (11000 MB) , most of them are games as torrents , and softwares.
Some one say that BSNL is does’t have much courage area for better signal availability. some time its may true , but guys aconomy like india needs a cheap and reliable service like BSNL , atleast who can provide unlimited datatransfer for just 420 Rs? The relinace is charging almost 3000 Rs for unlimited , you can simply take a BSNL broadband connection with 512 Kbps speed (for multiple computers) in this 3000 rs tarriff.
In my experience i will give 9.5/10 for this BSNL data connect , some say its takes little extra time to get the connection from BSNL office but to get cheap service you need to wait right.?

@Pranav,
practically speaking 512 kbps(download 60kbps) wireless internet connection is still almost a myth in India.
the ones available are very pricey(comparing to service) n give sad performance.
but ur budget is fit for it.
try reliance netconnect or bsnl ..
other options – airtel n tata , if u stay in mumbai u can try mtnl(best in price performance comparison to others)

I tried BSNL NIC card. They calim a speed of 144 kbps and access in Punjab circle. It works in Chandigarh though speed never goes beyond 64 kbps which means download speed is around 3-4 kbps on an average. It does not work all over Punjab as claimed.Avaialable on rent but with such conditions you may repent later whether you buy or hire.

I have used BSNL for last 5 years, I believe that no private company can competite with BSNL. The infrastructure that BSNL is having is much much better than any other DHOKABAZ provate company. Its next to impossible .. Relience can do lods of advertisement but can not reach the level BSNL having.
