From my experience,for calls (qos) airtel is good (really) , but for data services they are the worse |

Shyam, i have to say they have improved a million times now. It is always fast and never disconnects! We had some sour experience with AirTel earlier i know. But really, they have improved a lot!

Downloading with airtel is a headache. You cant go past 25kb barrier.

Dudes, I dont think gprs is capable of going faster then 25-30 kbps. The fastest it gets is 48 kbps, but that would be only if you would get full gsm and full gprs signal, with the RF interference taken as negligible.
In other wordd, not possible  |

3g in india?!? Thats gonna be a distant dream for quite some time here. Airtel has yet to figure out its gprs/edge leave alone 3g...thats prob just a lie their cc guys are trained to say to cover their lapses. People in uk with 3g phones dont use it coz its too expensive so its def not feasible for india cost wise(handset+data service) Hutch is sooo much better when it comes to gprs...i can download any sized file anytime without any problems so i'll be expectin 3g from them first...along with a v800  |

How bout reliance their network is already cdma1x best in terms of cogestion so if they come out with wcdma z800 then that would be the best

Hmmm thats a great news to hear about 3G guys as far as coverage goes 3G works on almost same platform as 2.5G(so called GSM) all they need is a little upgrade to their cell sites and it would be ready for 3G use so airtel could go for it but if reliance is planning that then reliance has to take the hard way round by upgrading their 2G (CDMA) to 3G which needs major modification so lots of home-work to be done

thats a misconception,both require (gsm and cdma) require almost same amount of effort to upgrade to 3g. and the gsm 3g works on quite different pattern from our ordinary gsm. reliance networks are defenitley 2.5g (they call their network 3g themslelves infact!) but its cdma, and i think when it comes to upgrade to 3g , i think cdma has an edge ,ie i belive to Evo-duo is easier to upgrade for cdma than for utms/3g for gsm. but im not sure which is better though

I think the operators should let the edge service flourish first and then the 3g... There will be infinite problems regarding the use of 3g... Firstly most of us will need a 3g handset... Secondly. The plans will definately priced high.... So this raises the question do we really need 3g?..... And if some day we start using 3g then there will be numerous problems regarding speeds, server down.. (they are already occuring in gprs)

3G will co-exist with 2/2.5G,for all those teething problems to be resolved itll take time,thats usual.by the look of it you dont have to worry about 3g coming anytime soon everywhere.
