i m totaly unsatisfied with the connection of Orange GPRS in mumbai
its bloody bhenchod i pay 100 bucks for the GPRS and at nite..due to heavy traffic i cant even open the ESATO.
thats why i had got a new topic Which Reliance handset u got ? and why...to know more about reliance connectivity as itz closed down...!!! cause of off topic...i truly agree wid dat...
but.. this GPRS connection of Orange in mumbai is useless at nite 2-3 am i get a very good access but bhenchod i juzz cant wake up every late nite to surf any wap sites...or go online thru my friends...
GPRS connection is like this or its just in india? my usage of a cell phone is dailing and receiving calls and GPRS thru which i read news surf esato etc , games, music / videos ! not for messaging and all
now is there any good network company in india which provides a good connectivity...!! i heard now a days airtel in mumbai provides a very good connectivity...the network catches anywhere...!!
i guess GPRS is not at all worth in mumbai dunno abt rest of the cities in india
i also want to know more about reliance internet and whats the difference between CDMA and 3G
lot of questions lol but this is madness i bloody pay 100 bucks and i guess its just bhenchod useless

Well i am in bombay and i use airtel gprs, i must say that none of the operators give you satisfactory speeds here in bombay, may be due to large amount of gprs users :-(

reliance R Connect isn't all that great actually.
there isn't like a constant data transfer rate, it's pretty jerky.average speeds i get are around 5-6k with a max of 10 or 11k.
but it's pretty cheap imho, so that's why i'm gonna stick to it. i don't use it to download

Orange Advanced GPRS sevice, which is called Hutch Access, costs rs 199 p.m. But they charge 50 paise for every 10 kb download. The speed is great but the additional 50 p for every 10 kb you access is a RIP OFF. I got it on a test basis for a month..Im getting rid of it today & getting an Airtel connection only for the net access. Will continue to use Orange for telephony. Too much of a hassle to communicate the new number to all my contacts

Airtel GPRS in Kerala connects at whopping 115kbps! ( but downlaod speed i saroubd 20's or so). My frnd has online via K700i for over 87hrs till date , in less than a month!. Not bad when u calculate. Rs 250 per month!
I took an Airtel connection, and now my frnd's main time pass is calling up 121( airtel customer service) and shouting at them coz they havent yet activated my 'Mobile Office GPRS' connection  .
Anyone here using Airtel Kerala? I would like 2 know, in how many days u got it activated!
and oh, my bro uses a shhh!(nokia 6230) and says TN Airtel is damn fast. I bet it is when I saw his GRPS counter. He had downloaded only 167MB worth of files. All free downloads, even while roaming!
cheers

erm....I use Hutch GPRS here in Navi Mumbai for 99 Rspm unlimited downloads and its pretty fast even on my Motorola c350. I can open a page of esato in maximum 20 seconds (wml version) ans usually 10 seconds, even at prime time at nights.
My friend uses Airtel GPRS on the same model as mine and gets pissed off at the appaling speeds ! Its a question of what phone you have and more importantly the density of towers and gprs active users in your area.
Obviously more users but less tower density = slow speeds.
but more users + more towr density like in my area = still good speeds  |
