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 bothlaptops 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.

Arvind says
Now days TATA INDICOM PHOTON is offering cheap connection of RS 750 with many products (specially ACER computers). DONT TAKE IT, The serivce is very bad and very slow. Signal is NOT available at most of the places. When you complain they say “yes in your area its is weak., go to that area” and when you want to get it disconnected, they DONT DISCONNECT and tell you that you have to use it for MINIMUM 3 MONTHS and pay RS 2500/-. BE CAREFUL.\r\nAlso it is NOT UNLIMITED. You can upload or download only 2GB per month. Which is nothing if you want to upload pics or download music or movies.
Raja says

rajur says
Reliance is a chor company. I have been using the Netconnect – supposed to be broadband for last 1 year and the speed is pathetic. I have already filed a case in consumer court to get full refund and damages for deficient service. They promise 3.1 Mbps but till date I have not got even 100 Kbps and I have changed the Huawei modem TWICE!!
The modem also is useless brand. All in all pls AVOID AVOID AVOID buying any Reliance product. You will regret…their customer service does not exist. 🙁 Shame on the Ambanis’
Justin says

Aman says

thanks for sharing the information
zubi says

@ 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.
N. Rahman says

Plz tell me in detail abt which plan u using too.
FashDesigns says
20 hours in day and 20 hours in night… per month?
well if its that, then i think its is low!
Amit Patel says
@ 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 😉
FashDesigns says
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.. 😉
Abhishek Gulyani says
I am waiting for Delhi to go WiMax.
Too Bad Hyderabad won’t have it. :p
dotcompals says
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.
prachi kulkarni says
yes, bsnl does have a usb net connector but the procedures to get it r too lengthy.
but it better to wait and get it because it offers fabulous speed. i have it and found it better than other net connectors.
rahul says
Hi, which is the bsnl data card you are using? can you email me how to apply for this or just give the name of this usb net connector from bsnl so I can find out more? Thanks.
Manav says
BSNL rarely serve ideally permanent way everywhere and as per i know its card rate also so so so high. i have Airtel DataCard working with other sim cards like vodaphone , idea too with average good speed. i m surprised by BSNL preference from any one…..i m from Ahmedabad
Tungish says
Hello Prachi,
can u tell me which bsnl netconnect are u using and what is its cost?
Ravinder says
Hiii
This is for all data cards lovers:-
I am in the sale of the data cards & SIM for last three years.As per my experience BSNL data card is providing best value for money.Though its one time investment may be high but it is worth.Few facts:-
BSNL is providing unlimited data plan for Rs274?month or Rs 750 for three month with all india roaming free with a speed of 250 kbps to 1 Mbps.
BSNL’s 3G plans are available for Rs4200 for six month unlimited.
Data cards prices are (Rs2000 -Teracomm, 2500-3000 Micromax MMX 310G 3.6 Mbps)
(Capitel 3.6 Mbps -2800, Capitel 7.2 Mbps 3200 (best buy)
BSNL’s data card are unlocked and support all operator and data tariffs are lowest. No other operator are providing unlimited 3G data plans at such cheap prices.Portability is a big plus.
For CDMA my obvious choice is MTS but there you bound with the operator and are at the mercy of that operator unlike BSNL GSM data cards that support upto 10 operators.
Abhishek Daaga says
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….
sid says
Well i have tata indicom 786 plan.. unlimited but no laptop… he he .. i mean i have pc to access the internet
Arvind says
Now days TATA INDICOM PHOTON is offering cheap connection of RS 750 with many products (specially ACER computers). DONT TAKE IT, The serivce is very bad and very slow.

Madhu Kishor says
Hey
Tata Indicom is nt that bad, instead a better choice with the price and offers..
Can hv new connection at Rs 1400 with one month free unlimited download.
Its unlimited package for following months starts from Rs.99 fro 7 days, 179 for 15 days, 333 for 30 days, 499 for 60 days and 750 for 90 days. This offer is under homezone towers and for other areas its Rs.555 for unlimited download…
Chat says
“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. :–)
Hefin Dsouza says
What Should I use My cable net just sucks. i want to use a USB internet connection which is fast and reliable.

Singh says
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.
rajesh says

ranjeet says

Amitava Biswas says

Amit Patel says
@ Amitava Biswas – Normally you need to contact the data card provider for this information.
Sushant Saurabh says
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.
Amit Patel says
@ 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.
Sushant Saurabh says
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.
Sushant Saurabh says

Shikha says
hi

thanks
shikha
vasu says
hi reliance is best, but airtel is cheeper to reliance, so u buy reliance
sanjay goel says
reliance
Amit Patel says
@ 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.
vishal says
Hi

Varun says
Hello friends,
I have mac book pro. I would like to know which internet data card supports mac in india.
vaibhav says
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
Naveen says
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
vipin says
i am using reliance data card model ZTE and it provides seemless data rate of 17KB and its the good option to buy out….
Anurag Bhateja says
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.!!!
malaya says
hi, i m malaya. i want to know, which data card is better. plz suggest
9953458758
Basil.L.Fernandes says
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
Bharath says
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.
Naveen Reddy Bondalapati says
@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?
@naveen says
tatas do not rent modem, u have to buy it outright
Abhishek Daaga says
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..
deepan says
can u tell me about the prepaid netconnect plans
deepan says
why we should use external usb connctions rather than pcmcia card?
Abhishek Daaga says
@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 have pcmcia slot so this is the alternative 🙂
deepan says
i’m a student. i want to buy a data card for my laptop.can anyone tell me that which one(tata,reliance,airtel)is the best and which tariff plan is the cheapest?
Jai says
only 15 to 25 kbps.what the hell. I use my nokia 6600 as modem,giving speed of 15-20 kbps with only 150 rup /month on unlimited use. Yaa m again saying its unlimited
deepan says

basilfern says
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.
basilfern says
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.
Rohit Gurung says
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.
Rohit Gurung says
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….
Amit Patel says
@ 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.
Rohit Gurung says
Amit- Thanks for your instant reply….
gaurav says
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
deepan says
hi
please help me to choose in between Tata Indicom or Reliance Data Card…which one good in speed and connectivity..?
if i pay 12 mont advanc relianc will give me free dta card.
or Airtel is the right choice..
please tell me soon .
Amit Patel says
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.
deepan says
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?
deepan says
one more question..
is there any billing problem of reliance netconnect?
Rohit Gurung says
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…
sanjay says
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)?
deepan says
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..
Amit Patel says
@ 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?
kelly says
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
kanak says
hey hi amit. thanks for this great info. My friend was planning to get a wireless data card for my laptop. reliance was my first choice … Thanks for the useful info. 😀
kanak’s last blog post..Speed linking this Wednesday : Link attack on fellow bloggers

dominic says
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
Anupama says
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
Navin says
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

Wireless Internet – charges how mutch
satya says
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 🙂
VINAY says
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..
Radheyshyam says
is all connections are applicable for rural village also across country ?????????????????
Antony says
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?
Amit Bhawani says
@ 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!

pravinpatil says
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,

I have an Apple-iMac iBook labtop. I wish to get net connection from tataindicom through datacard. But i don’t know that how do i make connection with my Operating system OS X 10.4.2. pl help me
Amit Bhawani says
Apple imac & Apple Macbook’s can be easily setup with Reliance Netconnect data cards but iam not sure about the tataindicom data card but iam sure the service providers can help you with the drivers for the same and help you in connecting to the internet.
Vikash Chandra says

Itna ghatiya response hai lete time kaha gaya tha ki download speed 50-60Kbps par kaha sala 5-6 kbps ke upper toh range jati hi nahi. sara paisa doob gaya.aur customer care bhi itna ghatiya hai aur kaya kaho reliance ka sirf naam hai mukesh ambani sirf paisa bannane mein laga hai aur logo ko dokha diya ja raha hai.
Very bad response, from reliance for purchaseing time they told us download speed is 50-60 kbps but all are worng it wont reach more than 5-6kbps relaince communication making fool peoples and it secter people. even there customer care also very bad in between mukash ambani is thinking only money making through reliance they making fool the peoples. relaince communication is very bad in network and telephone also i suffer 8 years eralier when i purchase dhirubhai ambani pioneer offer 25,000 ruppes loss but i think sub better done now a days again same problem. i purcahse data and suffering again.

U see, data cards will always get u in despair.
Rahul says
“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.
vijay bhaskar says
does relaince data cards work in rural and interior areas
do they provide data card on rental basis
Hiten says
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.. ..
Amar says
Wow
this is amazing,,, a post with so many replies.. lol
anyways, i think data cards are ok.. not that good
i heard bsnl is offering a data card with 2 mbps speed
That would be awesome

Mac user says
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…

Tims says
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).
JV says
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.
adnaan says
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.

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
Saahil says
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
Gaurav says
Wat about bsnl wireless??????????
Surendar says
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%
GV Shailendra Singh says
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.

Dr Subramanian says
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
Shadab says
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.

ebby says
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.?
Saurabh says
Hi, can u temme in todays date which is the best option to go for….

Pranav says
hi, i have a macbook and i will be coming to india in july, i will only be staying for a month but i want wireless internet that works every where i take my Mac, price range of about 3-5 thousand rupees. please suggest one that works pretty fast (at least 512 kbps)
thanks.
nik says
@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)

All guys, Iam asking all of you to not buy any of the wireless modems, when you connect to the pc, just you have to wait for more time even to open an website, sometimes we will get tention also even we will get blood preaser too, please dont spoil your health by buying any of the wireless one, my suggetion is please go to wired Broadband, now iam using BSNL Broadband 500c plan, I get 220 kbps download speed, 2 am to 8 am free downloads, after that 1.5 gb free useage, and 175 free local calls, all this just in below 600 rs only.
sam says
i had reliance crap from last 3 months and its so aweful n such a pain in my ass. guys pls dont buy it
Tejinder says
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.
shasman says
hi
I am coming to india for one month and would like to use internet in Armoor town, Nizamabad district, Andhra presedh. So could you advise me which service provider offering wi-fi or any wireless internet connections over there.
suman says
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.

Ashish says
i dont know about best but i am able to point out the worst in industry in terms of service is Airtel.
Even when you call their Nodal Officer then from 9:30 to 6:30 no one picks the call or just a voice message that ‘Our Nodal officer is busy’ and after 6:30 PM or before 9:30 AM, they say that you can call between 9:30 to 6:30 to talk nodal officer.
Worst service i have in my life is Airtel Wirelss Internet.
Surbhi says
Hey, i have recently bought data card from MTS. It is giving an excellent speed both for downloading and uploading. moreover there are plenty of sites like yahoo, wikipedia, makemy trip where you can avail free surfing.
MTS have great plans and the best thing is that in the first month it is providing the usage of rs 1500 absolutely free.. charges are very minimal .. prepaid service.
im really happy with mts data card. if anybody wants to buy the same, u can contact the preson from whom i have bought … num is 9289305678

hello every1,
am 1 of the lucky guys who have been using TATA PHOTON 2.4Mbps unlimited plan for just Rs1500 for more than a year witout any problm in guwahati, assam. it is not tata photon+. the looks is just like BSNL EVDO and i get the speed usually from 500kbps to 2.1Mbps(2100kbps). doesn’t make any difference in download or upload as i’ve tested both(TATA PHOTON 2.4Mbps and TATA PHOTON+ 3.1Mbps). Its very good here in Guwahati.
Max says
am still using this unlimited plan still existing for me. But for others now this unlimited plan is no more. the company has changed the plans wit TATA PHOTON+ 3.1Mbps. even when i travel in rural areas i get 1x speed which ranges from minimum 30Kbps to 280Kbps(PRACTICAL).
i even hav roamin facility!!!! thats all guys.

Keshav Kumar says
Hi,
I am planning to buy a Reliance broadband net connect USB data card. I have two laptops at my home and I want to access internet by using the data card simultaneously. Can I connect to internet at the same time on both the laptops? Please suggest me the options with total set-up cost involved. I have heard about Wi-Fi router that can solve my problem but I don’t want to spend that much money. Any cable based set-up would also do for me.
Maneesh says
The easiest and cheapest option is BSNL TRIBAND modem (wired) where u can connect two systems simultaneously.The speed is good ofcourse some minor hicups on service part if at all it gets defective.
Amit says

sumit says
please dont buy MTS data card you may phase problem after 6 months they will deactivate ur data card and when u call customer care there reply is “Our system is corrupted u have to wait for 1 week” and no action will be taken by calling cc u lose your money in cc bec z its not an toll free no.U have to throw ur data card and go 4 reliance or tata photon.
Please my recommendation to go for a brand Reliance or Tata photon
scorpio says
MOSTLY PRIVATE COMPANIES HAVE A HIDDEN CHARGES AND SALES MAN MAKE A FOOL TO PPLS FOR THIER OWN COMMISIONS, SO THEY NEVER TELL U REALITY ABOUT THAT PLAN WHICH U R GOING TO BUY,,,,I THINK BSNL IS BETTER THAN OTHERS,,IF U DON’T WANNA BECOME A ONE FOOL,,,,,
ALWAYS CAREFUL AND READ CAREFULLY ABT PLAN,,,,NEVER TRUST IN EMPLOYEES AND SALESPERSON OF INTERNET CONNECTION ,,THEY R FOR MAKING A FOOL TO INNOCENT PPLS,,
RELIANCE = BHAR LO LOGOAN KA PAISA JAIB MEIN (CHAHE CUSTOMER KITNA BHI ROTA RAHE)
TATA = AFTER USE 1 TIME,,,U READY FOR BYE-BYE TO (TATA)COMPANY
AIRTEL = MOSTLY BITS R FLY FOREVER IN AIR(SLOW SPEED),,TOUGH TO CATCH
BSNL = PHIR KYA HUYA SUST HEIN, PER RATES MEIN WE R HONEST DUDE
shalini says
thumbs up ! BUT TATA IS NOT THAT BAD..they have been honest with me apart from a scam of rs 150..and they have great speeds..
shalini says
i usually surf internet for 4 to 5 hours a day on my desktop..i do not download anything..i need a datacard with cheaper monthly rentals ..as per my requirements..thanks
shalini says
and guys since iam not a technology freak , i want to ask you that 4 TO 5 HOURS OF SURFING DAILY WILL MAKE HOW MUCH GB FOR THE MONTH?thanks
Ravinder says
melody khao khud jaan jao.try bsnl’s Rs 98 for 2GB plan and check your usage using *123*6#.Usage heavly depends on content and not on duration.If you are using video than 300-400 MB per hour possbile for simple email and chatting 50 MB.
as seen on tv guys says
these wirless services won’t work properly.dont trust it will take much time to load.better choose broadband

They said they are not aware of the complaint they only called to ask for money. For NO SERVICES>now they say they will take me to court for not paying for disconnected services. !!!!

Naren says
Parul,
great advice, could you please elaborate?
How do i use my mobile modem? I am in remote area of haryana.
can i email you?
Ravinder says
Parul your advice is wise,but I would like to add few points useful for all netizens:
If you are a casual net user not using net for long hours then using your mobile is a good idea to save those 2000 -3000 bucks.
But if you are a heavy net user downloading 3 hour or so continuously then there are great chance that your mobile chip will burn out.Coz mobile set is optimized for voice communication while in internet heavy heat is generated for which only data cards are optimised.
Second Now advanced 3.5G networks have been rolled out in india that support a speed upto 21 Mbps which is not available in any existing phone.Even a handsome 3G handset(that support only 3.6 Mbps) will cost you more that 8000 bucks.
Third it is very tedious to set up gprs on PC for different operator.So I would still suggest a GSM data card that support all operator and having a speed minimum 7.2 Mbps & cost less than Rs 2800 with one yr warranty to avoid above mentioned troubles.
One more thing I would like to share, in BSNL you will get 2GB in Rs 98 only and get 3G speed (Average 1 to 2 Mbps) no other operatot is even close to that.So try that and feel the difference.
brahmaji says
i am in a remote village. only idea communication works there. so please tell about idea net offers
Arslan says

With increasing dependability over the internet, everyone is looking for the most reliable Broadband internet connection. Airtel Broadband internet connection is the most preferred internet access solution because it is being offered by Bharti Airtel Limited, undisputed leader of telecom sector. Like other services of Bharti group, Airtel Broadband internet connection also offers many extra features being anticipated by the people who trust our capabilities.

Check whether Service Provider are providing speed in KBps or kbps. They only talks kbps ie kilo bits per second. so check the actual speed in bits only. you will get right info.
