BSNL Internet Data Access Card (CDMA EVDO)

Wonderful news,
times when 254 Kbps was high speed broadband couple of years back in India is gone.

This will be highly beneficial for me if it provides the said service at rural areas.Presently i live at a place out of reach of broadband.And i survive on internet service by BSNL through my GPRS enabled mobile at a very dismal speed which can’t even be used for internet banking( it gets time out)
forget youtube video.

sir
i want internet access in my laptop so kindly tell me the price details of the data card
and monthly rent for internet access
thanking you sir

Amit, I wonder if you would be so kind as to instruct me as to which service currently available (30 June, 07) would suite a short-term traveler best.

I’ll be in India only a month, but I need internet access incessantly! I spend hours a day with my laptop plugged into an internet cafe’s ethernet connection, and would love to be freed from it! I have a Mac Powerbook G4 1.0 GHz.

There is a catch–I have no PCMCIA port! Only USB and Firewire. So sad! I know there are converters for USB to PCMCIA, though I’m not at all sure I’ll be able to find the right equipment here.

I’ll be in Pune for a few weeks and then on the road, likely.

Thanks for any help you might be able to give!

I don’t think it will be available soon. Also BSNL is expected to increase the tarrif than what it is proposed. Check it out..

In recent days not all the laptops have PCMCIA card, my laptop has PCI Express slot only. Hopefully it will work on this too :)

Sir,
BSNL has recently launched Datacard in kashmir.but unfortuately it is working at lowest speed starts from 144 KBPS.i am agree that in initial stage speed is low.but it should be increased very soon.that will help us to surf easily,even at this time we can watch a 10 minute video clip, but watching those 10 minute clip we should wait more than 1 hour till then it streams.this is the posotoin of BSNL data card in kashmir.i hope it will work well in coming days.thanks

Bsnl in Kashmir launched data card but without mac software…they promised to provide but as usual the fucking company has not done that so far…nobody is listening the complaints in BSNL in Kashmir….this deptt is so arrogant they even the top officials do not respond to complaints & no service,neither GPRS,DATA CARD,BROADBAND is working properly here & they do not care…BSNL should be completely banned & it’s employees/officers should be dismissed & even put behind the bars….they are bloody assholes…..

sir,
when will be the BSNL EVDO card be launched in INDIA ?
can it be used in usual laptops ??

i purchased a EVDO, BSNL data card from BSNL office at Koramangala Bangalore 2 days back, i have installed the modem and configuration software, yet its not working, i am not sure weather i need to input any username, password, or phone number, which is there in the settings panel. Anybody please let me know if you have used it

I donno whats wrong but i have taken bsnl evdo card and what speed i get is max of 144kbps that too not always. anybody has idea when or how can i get 1 MBPS kind of speed wih the EVDO card?
i never expected such poor speed from bsnl.

Hi,

I am really searching for EVDO, But not finding anywhere, Can some one help, IS this available in Chandigarh or not???

i need BSNL internet to my laptop ,could you suggest me the details

to start with i will first suggest every body and any body to not to take bsnl evdo connection.as i have already taken it and suffering a lot.it promises to give a speed of 144 kbps.i don kno which fucker has promised.there is no fucking proper signal n the speed is not constant.and most importantly i got the first bill in which i have got the total payable amount as 3700.00 bucks.i don kno which mother fucker prepared tat bill.first it was told tat the unlimited tariff would be rs650,but now they r saying tat its revised and now its rs 750.i think these bsnl employees must b fucked properly n they should be fired.the whole bsnl office must be destroyed.if some one needs any help regarding bsnl evdo connection u can call me on 9964242546.

Shrikanth, I think your ist bill includes ist initial charges towards advance deposits. It would have been better if u have gone through the instructions clearly, as every data card purchase involves ist time deposits which are usually not less than 3000 rupees…..

Can some one help me out with the details,

1. What is the average speed on using this data
2. What is the monthly charges for the unlimited internet access with this EVDO Card
3. Have any one tried it with Skype.. Doest it work for a video call (rather for Yahoo messanger with Video) ???
4. Is it worth buying the Card from BSNL
5. How better is it from Airtel.. ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Talking about the buffering requirement.

BSNL EVDO SERVICE IS NOW AVAILABLE IN CITIES ONLY. ITS SPPED WILL VARY FROM 400 TO 1MBPS(THOUGH THE THEORETICAL SPPED IS 2.4MBPS)WHEREVER CDMA RANGE IS NOT AVAILABLE U WILL GET 144 KBPS.CDMA EVDO PRICE IS 3500. MONTHLY 550 AND UNLIITED USAGE. IT IS A MODEM AND CAN BE INSTALLED IN DESK TOP AND LAP TOP.

BSNL AUTHORITIES SAYS BY JUNE THEY WILL EXTEND THE SERVICE TO RURAL AREAS AND NATIONAL ROAMING WILL BE INTRODUCED.

Until now, in Bangalore, I have noticed only CDMA 1x signal on my EVDO device. Today, I noticed EVDO signal for a while but couldnt connect. Later when I connected I got CDMA 1x. I guess they are going to turn this on soon in Bangalore.

hey guys!!! I recently brought EVDO card (USB) bsnl card….whn I first started to download torrents…my speed was around 30 kbps…but gradually my speed has been increased from 30 to 150 kbps….u can only attain 150 kbps…whn u have a good signal strength of EVDO and u must download several torrents at same time…thats means around 10-20 torrents at a time to get super speed of 150kbps

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the DNS ip and other configuration details for setting up EVDO connection ?

Another latest attraction of the BSNL is the data cards. These cards enable the customers to have unlimited Internet facility at a speed of 144 kbps in Vellore and Tiruvannamalai districts. Two mbps EVDO (Evolution Data-Optimised) cards are also available in Katpadi, and this facility would be expanded shortly to new stations. The 144 kbps data cards are available for Rs.2,800 and EVDO cards for Rs.3,500. The monthly charges for these cards are Rs.250 and Rs.550 respectively.
