Use EVDO in Linux for the best user experience.

The post title may sound bit weird, but it's pretty true. Using any internet connection in linux is a bliss. You will sure love the stabilty of network connection it offers and the speeds that you gain. There are few people who are using EVDO in windows and are facing many issues like frequent disconnections and low speeds. So using EVDO in linux is a great alternate solution for frustrated windows EVDO users.

If you are a kind of internet user who often use Internet just to check mails, read articles and do other online activities like watching youtube video, blogging or social networking, you will feel a great difference when you start using internet in linux. You won't miss most of the applications that you use in windows. Linux has got loads and loads of software packages available and all for free. Also you won't miss the windows, because you can install linux in another partition and have multi-boot with GRUB.

You may feel difficult to get started with using linux, but the massive online community is ready to solve all your problems and will help you to get started. If you are new to linux, I will recommend you to get started with Ubuntu Linux, which is free and very user-friendly. And also setting up EVDO in it takes no more than 10 minutes. Read this thread to know how to configure EVDO in Ubuntu linux and few others. I'm not forcing you to switch to linux, but just suggesting you to do it for the good reason. You will also have a proud feeling of using a free opensource and supporting the community.

EVDO outage in Bangalore!

Just like Electricity outage, Bangalore had to face EVDO outage for more than week and a half during the end of September and in the begining of October. Not all the Bangalore users faced this issue, but most people did. Which led users to connect only to CDMA 1x.

Most people, including me were frustrated with the outage. When I made contact with Customer Care officials, they said it's sorted out. But it wasn't for me. And it grew my impatience more and made me to contact once again. This time, they said the issues has been sorted out only in few areas and hung up!

After all this I created a thread in the forum seeking for replies from other Bangalore users and found that most people are facing the issue and few were not. So I thought to wait for few more days and planned to go to my exchange office and make a query.

But the issue was solved sooner and better. After this outage, I can see the increase in speed and stability. The reason for this outage is unknown. But I think there was either some maintenance work done all those days or some upgradation work.

Anyway, the EVDO is now up in Bangalore after a week and half outage. Happy Browsing!
