ReplyDeleteWe are the unofficial people, just maintaining this site to help people.
Before going to consumer forum to compain against BSNL, check whether you are getting CDMA 1x or EVDO..
If it is 11 KBps, the it is probably CDMA 1x is what you are getting.
EVDO gives more speeds like 600 Kbps - 2 Mbps..

plug to surf (tata indicom) is the worst inernet provider.Is speed is as bad as 2kbps for downloading .....most of time its servers are down.
ReplyDelete@ Kumar,
ReplyDeleteBSNL EVDO is based on CDMA and not on GPRS
Dear Sirs
ReplyDeleteI have purchased the EVDO in Ranchi two weeks back. The maximum connection speed displayed is 193.0 KBPS anywhere in Ranchi. To that extent after having discussion with BSNL officials, who helped me by listening to my problem regarding this low speed, I was called to BSNL Office with the device and a new hybrid prl(Preferred roaming list) was loaded onto the EVDO Device. But that has also not rectified the problem.Even in the BSNL Office, the speed attained was 34.0 kbps. I am yet to get the speed of 1.0 MBPS which the Agents through whom the set was purchased, promised at the time of buying.
AFter repeated contacting BSNL Officials, they have no answers but only add that BTS might be having problems, but they have yet to provide the solutions of such low speeds, otherwise the huawei set with 144 kbps is fine. Even the BTS gives signals to a distance of 6-7 kms crow fly.
Somebody please advise how to go about increasing the speed and who should be spoken to for rectification. Any tools available with anyone for enhancing the speed.
I’ve purchased an EVDO on 30/07/08 from BSNL ofiice ranchi.
ReplyDeleteThey said to me now EVDO will give 1X speed,after three days
will activate EVDO speed.What happen let see.(hec colony,dhurwa,ranchi)
Tall talk is not matched by the performance.Very recently i purchased a EVDO device and also took a connection committing Rs 550/- a month. .The speed is shocking and is pathetic , so much so, even a first generation internet services would beat this.Above all the connection gets disconnected.This was case even in their own customer care office and that too in front of their officer . SDO concerned was honest to accept that the they are not yet ready for the promised speed that is 2.4 mbps
ReplyDeletei would advice thje prospective customers to be informed.
it is fine to read all the comments i was very eager to take one evdo connection but after information provided by the site made me rethink i am using broadband but desperately need mobile internet for my laptop i will regularly see this site for update information at this site
ReplyDeleteanyway thanks a lot for such information.

one must not say bsnl "bhul se nahi lena" they are the best service provider and cheap too look at their bradband they provide much much more speed than any other counterparts i am using the sercices since last 5 years
ReplyDeleteAny way i think evdo is in initial stage they will definitely improve in times to come.

ReplyDeleteI'm planing to have an EVDO card. Can anybody will tell me is that card giving more than 20KBPS of speed in downloading a file..??
ReplyDeleteYes it goes up to 144 KBPS while I was using at Kanke Road
ReplyDeleteI have one which I bought three months back and now want to sell it @Rs.3500, anybody interested contact me at sunilzon@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteRecently BSNL started EVDO and I am the first consumer. After three days of bitter experience, I found the speed since yesterday was upto 1445 kbps. Fantastic. But my nic card is not working properly now. I m from Bokaro. Pl give your opinion in my mail id skmahapatro2002@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteif you r getting 1.4 mbps that is fantastic but i am getting only around 200-250 nkbps in sector 1 , bokaro steel city. In which area are you living in bokaro Mr. Skmahapatro ?
ReplyDeleteI live in ranchi at Patel nagar HATIA.I own a BSNl EVDO device it is now giving me 256-512kbps speed,but it took the bsnl guys 4 days 2 activate the evdo service.No matter who says what this service is good.if u hav any problems with ur connection u can contact the bsnl guys at 0651-2444000.Chow
ReplyDeleteHi,while downloading files from anywhere including torrents and p2p (bearshare,limewire etc.)i easily get download speeds more than 35kbps during the night and early morning u can easily get speeds more than 60kbps.
ReplyDeleteHey Anshul! Hows the speed of your BSNL EVDO now? I am planing to buy one and I live in HEC Colony, thanks for that number of BSNL GUYS, but i wana hear from you as you are using it.Please reply.Thanks
ReplyDeletecan anybody tell me what speed can be expected at mango area at jamshedpur i am willing to take one connection .
ReplyDeleteIt is giving me terrific speeds.recently while downloading using DAP(download accelerator plus) and using limewire i got constant speeds of 80-90kbps.The bsnl customer service is also very good(that was not a typo).this service rocks.i took this service because i couldn't get a landline in my area...but i would recommend bsnl data1 500c plan the speed is absolutely amazing while i was in jamshedpur i used to use this i had downloaded 350mb file in just 20mins.bye.
ReplyDeleteHI,any1 who wants to take the connection should keep i mind that the speed is erratic but u will always get a minimum speed of 256kbps and max of 786kbps(that is wat i am gettin till now).im sure the speeds will increase as 3g is officialy launched in india as bsnl will equip all of it towers with bts.
ReplyDeleteHi all Jamshedpur people...I am planning to start a small BPO unit at Jamshedpur for which I would require a reliable broadband connection...EVDO card users from Jamshedpur please tell me what speed are you getting now ?? Should I take it up ?? This is too urgent for me..Please help...BI

ReplyDeleteis evdo available in hyderabad?
ReplyDeletei want to know if evdo works in cmpdi kanke road(ranchi)?
ReplyDeleteis evdo available in dhanbad?????????????????
ReplyDeleteis evdo available in dhanbad
ReplyDeleteEVDO service is based on CDMA tec., many people say's that are not getting the speed what bsnl promises, but I use my EVDO on various locations in Ranchi & my openion is the speed of EVDO is directly proportional to signel strength, most of the area like EAST Ranchi (namkom, tatisilwe...)are not good in signal due to positions of SBT ( subscriber based terminals) BSNLis planning to introduce more nos. of SBT. Ranchi(SOUTH, CENTRAL & NORTH) is good in signal, compare to Ranchi WEST. whenever the signal is not good try to search by moving the position of EVDO. Use long ( not very long) USB EXTENSION, ROTATE the antena, place outside window ( if possiable)
ReplyDeletedo give ur feedback
happy surfing....
Anyone know what is the maximum range of these EVDO Towers in Ranchi?
ReplyDeleteAccording to my recent survey there is EVDO reception in Bhurkunda(saunda) area thats amazing! The speed is around 60 - 80kbps with 3bars.I think ramgarh can also get the reciption.

ReplyDeletecan somebody upload the .prl and .ini files for ranchi????
ReplyDeleteI live in Jamshedpur Mango .who tell me that's EVDO service is better for me or not.

ReplyDeleteregarding speed issues, please read this, very helpful..
ReplyDeletehttp://bsnlevdoclub.com/forum/every-broadband-user-should-know-this-kbps-vs-t-330.html
***summary***
there is much difference between MBps and mbps.
bsnl evdo promises max 2.4mbps.It means you could get max. download speeds of 2.4/8 = 0.3MBps or 307.2KBps (roughly..)
In short, whatever your network speed is just divide it by 8 to get the download speed i.e,
512kbps(network speed) = 64KBps(download speed)..roughly
hey buddy!

EVDO is Broad band USB data card and 3G is also 3rd generation data card.I had purchased 3G when it is launched at Jamshepur for down loading or uploading data and video coferencing with my daughter. But I am very sorry to say that it is total failure project of BSNL at Jamshedpur. Speed of uploading is so poor that you can not do any thing. I spoke to G.M. and Dy G.M. bsnl at jamshedpur but they have also failed to do any improvement. Then I have taken the EVDO data card for the same purpose it is working up to the satisfaction mostly. I am staying just 1000yds from the main exchange at sakchi.
ReplyDeleteWhat does EVDO stand for?
ReplyDeleteIs it equal in speed as BSNL Broadband Service?
ReplyDeleteAlso the in Cost perspective how does it fit to us, the middle income group?
If every one is searching for high speed and no doubt it is the prime need also, I do not understand why BSNL is still promoting the poor speeds internet devices in market and confusing its customers.
ReplyDeleteNOT GETTING ADEQUATE SPEED, IT IS VERY POOR. PLEASE RECTIFY AND CONFIRM.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone help me to know the contact details for getting BSNL data card in Bokaro, Jharkhand. Please reply to my mail id : re.omprakash@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteIt is Vert low speed
ReplyDeleteNEITHER GETTING ADEQUATE SPEED NOR RECEIVED ANY REPLY
ReplyDeleteevdo stands for Enhanced Voice and Data Optimization
ReplyDeleteBSNL EVDO IS NOT UP TO THE MARK IN RANCHI. AM STAYING AT MID TOWN(HARMU) , ON THE AVERAGE GETIING 100Kbps I.E 12.5 KBPS , bsnl talk of 2000 kbPS i.e 250 KBPS. AND WHAT TO SAY BOUT BSNL 3G OUT OF 7 DAYS IN A WEEK , 2 DAYS THEY MAINTAIN THEIR NETWORK . NO CONNECTION DURING THAT TIME, AM PAYING FOR 3.6 MBPS BUT MAXIMUM IT GOES TO 500 KBPS THAT ALSO DURING MORNING TIME.
ReplyDeleteIF YOU ARE FROM RANCHI AND WANT TO GO FOR 3G ,BETTER USE TATA DOCOMO 2G ,SPEED WILL BE SAME . . BUT DOCOMO CHARGE FOR WHAT THEY GIVE. BSNL IS COMPLETE FAILURE IN ALL TERMS,
Go for tata photon or banl bband
ReplyDeleteThanx everybody for sharing ur experiences. Now i'm dropping the plan to buy EVDO. My experience with 3G is even worst, it works occasionally. Sorry to say but wireless bsnl data connections behaves and performs the same as their old employees (g**d for noth**g). To some extent i like wired broadband service offered by bsnl at Ranchi.
ReplyDeleteBSNL in Ranchi or in other towns with the 3G data card is a total failure, and the worst in the telephone sector. the apathy is that even responsible top notch officials like the GM and the Dy.GM will not be able to help you out and you pay from your pocket. the service is totally a hard disappointment. it is better to stay with TATA PHOTON or any private operator but dont head for BSNL. there is no service and these officers have totally submitted themselves and their services in the hand of private operators.
ReplyDeleteMy friend who is residing near piska more ranchi is using BSNL EVDO and it is working fine. It is giving good downloading and uploading speed. Bsnl EVDO works better where its network is good.
ReplyDeleteI think if the place is having good network for other mobile service providers then it could work fine their.The avg downloading speed that my frnd is getting is about 60 to 80 kbps.
Many timesit goes upto 120-150 kbps.
Evdo Plan is good it comes with 2.4mbps max speed with unlimited download at Rs 750/month only.
BSNL_EVDO data card now available in Dumka, working speed here:_ 1155Kbps(LINE SPEED) & FILE DOWNLOAD SPEED ABOVE 100 KBPS.
ReplyDeletei have bsnl evdo in koderma....i got it from ranchi......i used it for maximum 50 days......download speed 50-150 KBPS....AND SURFING SPEED.....0-600 kbps....after that no network is indicating in pc.....i complained many times but still no solution.......pls never use any bsnl sevice........
