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!

    Hi
    I am also an EVDO user in kochi,kerala. From last week my EVDO stopped working.It is showing amber colour LED when the system is started (usually its green). When i try to connect it says "No carrire Try again" is this the same issue you guys encountered in Bangalore.by the way i use Fedora 9 as OS and wvdial as the dial up.

    Hi

    I am using BSNL EVDO in RT Nagar in Bangalore, have not been able to connect in EVDO mode. Before connecting it shows green but as soon as I press connect it turns oragne and connects in 1X.

    Do not go for it. There is no support from BSNL.

    I took EVDO card around 8 months back. Initially it was working fine. But from past 2-3 months it is very very slow. Very hardly I am getting 150kbps. Continuously it is showing 20kbps to 40kbps, even the signal is with 3 towers. I am staying in Adugodi (Near Koramangala). Can anyone tells me that how you are getting the speed in Koramangala limits.

    Now that's the reason why BSNL is trying to hike unlimited plan.
