Wimax Internet LogoWhat is Wimax Features & Advantages?
Wimax is a limited area wireless internet connectivity service where in you can access to high speed internet connection by paying a charge. Its similar to a wired line broadband connection but available to a limited area network like a radius of 20kms. You can access to the internet in the whole 20kms network but once you are out of the Wimax internet area you are disconnected. Its better than the wireless internet services because you can access to real broadband speeds in wimax but in case of wireless internet you can access to a maximum to 128kbps internet connection[Speed Test]. The advantage of using a Wimax connection os that if you have got a bad wired internet connection this would be the best alternative.

India is a country with 100 million mobile phone users with the subscribers base increasing every month. Broadband services were launched commercially in India from 2005 with ADSL services covering small towns and cities but the total subscribers are still not yet covered. Currently the wireless internet services subscribers are increasing because of the problems with wired line services and frequent disconnections.

Wimax is a service where in limited area wireless services will be provided to broadband users and currently some broadband service providers like BSNL, VSNL, SIFY, Reliance & Bharti are trying out trials. BSNL has already installed Wi-Fi hot sports in 24 indian cities including Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai & Kolkata.

Only the issue I’m facing is the transfer rate which 18-20 KBps. My advice is before you go for any plans please check the tranfer rate in KBps and not in kbps.

  7. Hi

    My name is Premnath yesterday I have recieved one mail stating that tata has reduced the wimax broadband plans The message is as follows…

    GOOD NEWS

  12. The Saga of lies….

    Reliance info comm foray into the Wimax (Wifi Internet provider) came with lots of promises and today even after 3 yrs it stands as a bag full of lies.

    The scenario which i am portraying is not in terms of money but covers greater issue an issue of trusting the company which deals with not only internet but also trades in stock – market , power sector investments and various segments such as food etc which touches customers life and their trust in the organization.We trust them with our life when we consume their food product,we trust them with our belief when we hear information from them and we trust them with our life and future when we invest our life savings with them…

    But question arises here… is our trust one sided only… are they misusing our trust for small profits … is their policy itself based on lies ,mislead and cheating customers from step to step no matter how small or how low the organization stoops to have its share of profit by scraping and slicing the trust and the hard earned money of the costumer.Well this organization certainly does that… its not story of mine but millions other who have been cheated and today may be this blog makes the world hear and see the truth.

    Day 1 : A call from reliance info comm telling immediate installation of equipment on payment of installation charges: 500 bucks.I paid it and to my surprise 10 days had passed before installation finally took place.
    Day 11: The system was setup and the net connection was finally completed.
    Day 12: Oops… No Net Connectivity : Call to costumer care to put a complaint
    came with a pleasant surprise :Sorry your details are not updated.But they promised to rectify it within 24 hrs.
    Day 13: I placed another call to the call center… *** Why am i mentioning the calls to call center ? Answer : I am paying for each callcharges@per minute from my pocket and i finally get to hear a voice only after auto-voice response has been processed. ***
    Day 14:Same as above : only difference i called 4 times.
    Day 15 …. Day ….Day 18…. Till day… ( I think the promised 24 hrs of the first call was never fulfilled.)

    Now the cherry top to the story :

    Even after so many days the excuse given to me is: Sorry sir,your details have not been updated on out system.

    Well if a organization cannot update a simple request details of where he has installed his system ,how can we expect them to handle our money,how can we trust them with our life cause here every time they were deceiving me… lying to me … with no sense of responsibility and utter ignorance towards the needs and care of customer… The reason : Customer already paid 500 bucks … he has to pay his monthly committed bill amount … and worst the ignorance he’s just one customer from a large customer pool… why care for one customer.

    Nothing would be an apt than my story as a classic satire
    and its quiet a comic relief if you read about the way they talk about “Dreams” on their website :
    http://www.reliancecommunications.co.in/webapp/Communications/rcom/Aboutus/aboutus_home.jsp

    I am not writing this letter as a complaint about Reliance Infocomm , Reliance Communications India.
    But pose a question to the Investors who invest in this company in stock market, individuals who consume their food products, people who trust their information network and all the people who are related to Reliance Communications India, putting their trust ,hopes ,aspirations and dreams…
    The Question is : Can you really trust them? Are they worth it… Because amongst all this …
    you and i are finally one amongst their large customer pool…?

    Think is there any other organization available… if you have already placed your trust just re-eval your options available because an organization that deceives one customer would not hesitate for others and especially if the stakes a higher… and stock profits are better.

  14. Hi,

    1. Placed the application on Day 1
    2. Received the connection kit on Day 3(with in 48hours), and was installed by executives of tata indicom
    3. Started using the net from Day 3(after installation) and on Day 4 cheque was cleared from bank

    Note:
    1. The advantage I had was the easy access point on my terrace from the near tata indicom tower(approx 300 meters)
    2. Speed is good with loss of around less than 20% till now
    3. My plan was 384kbps, (one time payment of 4496 for four months, which excludes the deposit and installation charges)

  20. Hey , Do you know when will the BSNL will provide broadband connection from their PAINKULAM exchange.

  23. hi i have wimax internet connction at my home with a goodspeed but atually i am facing one problem in voip device, brakeges are there in my voice to oppsite person i am getting his voice very clearly wot is the problem i sthere in that wimax internet

  24. I am from Bangladesh.
    Going to visit Vizag (10-12days) & Hyderabad (3day)in September 2009. Need WiMAX internet connerction for my laptop. Please help to get price idea & speed. Thanks

  25. I Mr. Amit I have become a fan of your site for finding all technical help. Whenever I am in a dilemma and keeps finding the thing in google your site flashes with several other blogs. I use3d to click all but finally get the best answer from you. So now i have left searching in google and directly hooking to your site for latest updates.

  26. Can you say me which is best provider for data cards or usb modem in hyderabad. I also want to know the best provider for wimax connection at my home. Also say me apart form wimax and data card what are other kind of connections ? I have used connections in mobile say gprs and edge which sucks and are the worst probably one will get frustrate and suicide from its speed. I personally have tested data cards of bsnl ,airtel,tata photon,idea and reliance but reliance speed is best. As i came to learn data card using gsm technology for data transfer is not good on the other hand data card using cdma technology(hsdpa/3g) is better thus reliance net connect gives download upto 250 kbps using idm wheras bsnl and tata photon gives 60 kbps at max.

  27. Plz say me best wimax provider in hyderabad. For broadband in office where 10 pcs will be handled is it wise to got with cable broad band or wimas dish antennae?? What is th edifference in speed? Once net comes other systems will be connected using adsl router and wifi router.

    • There are few advantages and disadvantages of both using Wimax & Cable Broadband.

      You can expect break downs on the Connectivity if you are using Cable Broadband because its connected through optical fibres and which is why its not always good, on the other hand Wimax is normally always connected and comes with the size of a Dish TV Dish placed on the top of your office or home premises. You can use a Wifi Router along with a adsl router for sharing and wifi connectivity.

  28. Hello,
    I want to know whether Wimax services from BSNL available in Pune or not.I would like to know the tariffs for home usage and also about its performance in pune area. pankajps30@gmail.com
