You must have noticed my earlier review of Netconnect broadband plus and the fantastic speeds that we were getting, over 2 Mbps on an average but during the last couple of weeks I have noticed that the speeds have dropped quite significantly and I am getting speeds that are well below half Mbps around (300 – 500 kbps) .

Mobile Wireless broadband is finally here in India and I am happy to say that it works, I had purchased the Reliance Netconnect Broadband plus data Card for mobile broadband, this connection provides a peak theoretical speed of 3.1 Mbps when you are connected to the the Reliance High speed (HSD) network available in 35 major cities across India and if the high speed network is not present it falls back to the slower CDMAx1 network which works in over 20,000 towns and 4.5 lakhs villages.

It’s been almost a year since I have written an article on broadband but there has not been much to write about the broadband scene during the past year, yes we now have WiMax and EVDO services (mobile broadband) but still the broadband scene hasn’t changed a lot, fast connections are still very expensive with absurd data-caps and high speed unlimited connections if at all available are very expensive.

I have moved to a new location a couple of months and I wanted to shift my Airtel broadband connection to the same as I was very happy with the same, but Airtel could not provide the connection at the new location as they did not have empty slots in the new location.

Even BSNL broadband had a long waiting time but Reliance broadband was readily available hence I took up the Reliance broadband connection this service is known as reliance broadnet and here are my views regarding the same.

Did you know that broadband speeds officially in US were speeds of 200kbps or more, yeah I had a laugh reading that at least in India it’s speeds of 256kbps or more, now the US FCC has revamped the much needed broadband minimum speed and its set to  768kbps!
Well I hope this change gets our indian telecom authority to take notice of the same, coz there were a lot of rumors early this year that the minimum broadband speeds in india would be boosted from the current figure of  256kbps, …

I had recently taken an Reliance USB data modem as a secondary connection to connect to the net wirelessly when I am traveling and below are my views regarding the same.

I had purchase the Huawei EC325 USB data modem model for Rs 2,850 they have an current offer in which the first 2 months of usage is free and the dealer said that form the third month the billing will start with a default plan on Rs 650/month for I GB of data, and I could choose any other data …

Airtel broadband has started 1 Mbps unlimited data transfer plans for Rs 2222 / month + tax, which is quite good for users who download a lot of content and don’t want to be worried about how much bandwidth they have consumed, the nearest similar plan that is offered by TATA broadband is 1 Mbps unlimited for Rs 3600 / month.

This new plan have been introduced for Delhi and Kolkata and I am sure that this service would be announced shortly for other areas as well, I hope this …

Just last week I heard news that TRAI was going to bump the minimum speed for broadband from 256kpbs to 2Mbps, I was overjoyed but I don’t think so it’s going to happen, TRAI is now justifying that 256kpbs is an acceptable speed to define broadband in India.
According to TRAI even in US the FFC defines speeds in excess of 200kbps as broadband.
In 2008 Look forward to get broadband via new mediums like DTH, 3G, Wifi and WiMAX. Currently most of the broadband connections in India are via DSL then …
