BSNL EVDO Reviews

patna India
A total disaster!
Jun 05, 2010 03:36 AM 16860 Views

When evdo was first launched by BSNL a few years ago, it took the netizens across India by storm & suddenly became the apple of their eyes overnight! Everyone seemed to be going ga ga over its blazing speed & all that. But as the time passed by, BSNL's poor management & maintenance gradually started taking its toll on this technically so advanced EVDO service. Now things are pretty different from what it used to be a couple of years ago! Speed is gone for like forever! Forget about HD or DIVX video, I cant even watch a simple flv video on the net coz it takes too long to load! Have stopped downloading bigger files now bcoz of its annoyingly slow speed. Its signal is very inconsistent & unpreditable.


Have to waste a hell of a time & energy to get the maximum signal strength around home. This service has in fact become so unpopular now-a-days among internet-users that BSNL had to pull back their price hike plan for EVDO recently!

Bsnl evdo works great
May 28, 2010 09:05 AM 28066 Views

I had rented bsnl evdo from bsnl exchanging with a 750 you'll plan and discovered that it works gr8 as compared to my old reliance netconnect 1x service now I have decided to surrender my reliance connection and buy a new modem of bsnl evdo from exchange as bsnl had given me old second hand device for rent. So my dear friends if u have bsnl evdo coverage at your place then I will surely recommend this awesome device to you. Just try it and feel the difference. dude.


So my request is that buy bsnl evdo and enjoy speedy life for ever. https://speedtest.net/result/828461196.png

Wonderful Service from BSNL
May 06, 2010 11:29 AM 12712 Views

As I needed a mobility option for wireless Broad band in Bangalore, started a search for a reliable connection to replace my Airtel Wired Broad band. Finally got a information that BSNL EVDO connection is so far good in Bangalore city , so decided to give it a try.


Went to the Jayanagar BSNL office, in the entrance they have a advt. about evdo  but when enquired they told that now it is not available. So I was disappointed, started googling for contact numbers of Bsnl offices in Bangalore city.


Finally got a connection from BTM bsnl office.


Initial amount : 2500/- NON Refundable


monthly : 750 /- Rs for unlimited usage.


Completed the formalities and asked the lady to give me details of configuration settings, to my dismay she just showed me a notebook cover in which the settings have been hand written. She asked me to copy it , they do not have any leaflet nor a brochure. This is bad, having paid Rs 2500/- I just got a new line payment receipt and the Device, that is all, You have to do all by your own.


Headed to home, connected the device to the laptop, the device got installed with out any issues, well and good. Network was shown in the connection dialog but is was not able to connect.It was showing some error. I thought I lost my hard earned money, OHM help me , tried to contact he customer care for no use. After 4 hrs tried again, finally got the network, but only 1x connection not the 3g.. retry was the only option. Finally got things right when I changed my location to the balcony and was able to connect. Speed was also not bad, so things got working..


Day 2, early morning got up to check the connection, I was surprised to see the network was connecting very fast and the Internet speed was also good, did a speedtest, got nearly 0.8 Mbps not bad. After one month of use I got the speed of 1+ MBps. So finally fully satisfied with the connection and was able to connect to my VPN and work..


The issues:




  1. Connectivity depends on the network coverage




  2. Need to reconnect if the signal strength is low.






3.Cannot discontinue the service as the device will not be taken back by bsnl.


--------------------------Update-----------------------------------


Receiving more than 1.0 mbps consistently.


Good speed!!!
Apr 29, 2010 04:39 PM 8128 Views

I just had to go one day to my local BSNL office in kolkata and file the application paid Rs.3640/- towards the price of the EVDO device and wallah the next day I got the device with a demo from BSNL(din xpect that from a Govt enterprise)as you people can see in the picture I have full evdo tower in my area. I'm getting a decent download speed of 55-65 KBps.


A connection charge of 500 INR will come with the next bill and there on, I will be charged RS.650+taxes /month. I'm happy with the product and the device looks cool with an antenna.

Can anyone take my EVDO ?
Mar 15, 2010 02:08 PM 6713 Views

I am from Chennai. Since I am going abroad, I don't need my EVDO any more. I can give my EVDO for lesser price. I bought just 1 month before and it is in very good condition. If you are interested please contact in this number. I can give this for 3300 Rs. Gives unlimited access for 550Rs. As an average u can get 230KBPS speed. I can give this through BSNL authorized officer. So don't need to worry about the product.


I will transfer from my name to yours.


This is not a review may be an advice..
Jan 24, 2010 10:36 AM 13826 Views

I think all of u already read plenty of reviews about BSNL EVDO so I didn't realy do this time.


I will give u some idea based on my experience.


Ideas:




  1. First u have to check weather BSNL tower is near to ur house for this - see manualy is there any bsnl towers around ur area with in 1km from ur house for best results. Even though there is a tower it may not have a EVDO fecility for this u have to ask BSNL staff.




  2. Second thig is if u have a good friend or an siblings studing in college they can get a EVDO fro you. Use it in ur house for one day because EVDO work well in cool timings like morning, evening and night do u know one thing if it is a rainy day u are lucky because EVDO will give u upto 2mbps.




  3. If u dont have any friend's card go to BSNL, beware that should be a small office. In my personal experperience I got good help from them, even though I got a friends card & check it in my house the bsnl officials gave me a card but with a full payment only and gave me one option if I didn't get signal for one day return that card and get back the money and they told me we will never register ur application with out ur confirmation - "could you belive that" thats why I recomand small branch, but it is not in a head office of BSNL they are very arrogant and when I ask them about EVDO they told me to wait for 1hr even to talk about it(think about future transactions). so friends please approach a small branch.




  4. For great connections I did a research on my house and used a laptop for that. The signal will be high when you place the antena in the direction of the tower. Dont need to place the card out of the window just place the card in the corner of the room in the direction of the tower. Place the antena little bit wide to the oppsite direction of the device(card) but aim it to the tower and place very close to the corner wall just inches from the wall. Friends belive me I have got up to 1.2mbps some times 2mbps at rainy day and 512kbps all the day only when I placed tha card in that position. if I changed that position I got only 60kbps so please give ur concentration on placement and dont get angry because I got it when it show me network disconnted.




  5. It will take about 2 to 5 hrs to recogonize ur card for the first time so don't get into the conclusion just wait and ensure the tower showned in the software is full ie. 5 towers, if it is 3 u will not get good speeds.






friends these are all my experience if anybody have some other please share and this will help others to have some knowledge.


All the best for good speed at very good price.


If I did any wrong please correct me friends.


After a long time I am rewriting this review (year 2012).


Friends after 3 years of usage my EVDO kicked in my back now it will not give the same speeds


i don't know the reasons. Only 128kbps and downloading in 12 to 15 kbps and very poor at some times


so I discontinued it. The reasons may be there are lot of EVDO users or anything but lost my patience


so I cancelled it.


So u must try one in ur place before buy it and don't expect BSNL to respond quickly to ur complaint.

EV-DO smart
Jan 11, 2010 02:24 PM 7600 Views

Recently I joined the fan club the EVDO. it was my dream to have this instrument wid me and finally got one. All is well with  this pre activated USB type internet connection. but the tower is the thing which plays amajor role in the speed.


I wanted to get this directly form the BSNL but they routed me to a DSA and that promptly delivered the product in two days after collecting the 3640/- chq.


The problem is had I purchased it from the BSNL directly I could have enquired abt the speed and other details then made a decision. but here I did ask the DSA abt all these and all igot is the bla bla and all good, no bad of the EVDO.


The moment I got it and till today, well over a 45 days I was watching the speed never crossed the 180 kb(rarely got) as against the ads of 256 kbps and more. any way I am contend wid it.


BSNL EVDO Card - gives true Broadband Speed -
Jan 08, 2010 03:05 PM 11574 Views

I purchased the EVDO Card on 2nd of January 2010. It took me one day to file application and get the card in my hand. I was amazed to see BSNL staff giving me DEMO of EVDO card giving an average speed of 400 to 600 kbps.


I am regularly using it from last one week and I am preferring it over my Connect Landline Broadband.


I tested the speed on speedtest.net and the download speed came out to be 0.44 mbps


the maximum speed I touch is 1780 KB/SEC


It is a real good device but the only problem is that it is very expensive to buy and monthly rent is also high. but they say all good things comes at a price.:)


BSNL EVDO IS NO MORE CHEAP GUYS EFF DEC'09
Dec 27, 2009 04:00 PM 7325 Views

I have bought new evdo connection day before yest with the help of my uncle who is divisional engineer with bsnl connection,


Here is the new tariff plan for bsnl edvo eff dec1'200. USB kit is Rs 4000+act fee rs. 500 +serv tax rs.52 = total rs.4052.

BSNL EVDO - Think about it before you purchase
Dec 16, 2009 05:41 PM 8681 Views

I am using BSNL EVDO from past 6 months for my home desktop in Bangalore.  As BSNL claims it provides speed up to maximum of 2.4 Mbps I am


getting only avg 150kbps - 350 kbps during day night time. The speed what you get in BSNL EVDO is not constant speed and it is continuously varying(144kbps.40kbps.60kbps.190kbps.2kbps).


Below are the points you need to know before purchase:


Reason for low speed:


No evdo coverage


Signals are weak


More Number of users is connected in that particular area(during initial months I used to get avg 800kbps   - 1mbps of speed which is now reduced to avg 150kbps.looks like there are now more users in my EVDO coverage area!)


Distance from the BSNL Tower



Current BSNL EVDO tariff:


On purchase of EVDO card= 3500+ 650(Monthly charge)


On rental of EVDO card= 1000(security)+ 650(Monthly charge)+ 200(rental)


Taxes, as applicable, will be extra



Advantages:


Unlimited internet access and downloads


Access Internet on the move


EVDO offers backward compatibility, you can access a CDMA 1x network with EVDO Device


Price is much less compared to any other current internet wireless providers


Roaming facility is available


Download from rapidshare…. Use torrent downloads


Installation is pretty easy and straight forward.


Online Bill Payment


Unlike other providers, BSNL provides devices on rental.If you are not satisfied, you can return the device. If u have purchased the device, then you cant return the device.


Disadvantages:


            Poor customer care


            Continuous variations in speed


            Need to be close to EVDO enabled BSNL tower(< 5km) to get good speed

BSNL EVDO at ambegaon pathar
Dec 16, 2009 04:13 PM 5221 Views

One Good news those who are from Ambegaon Pathar (Behind Bharati Vidyapeeth). I have recently opt BSNL EVDO & found it very handy to use. I am getting better signal strength (5 bars).


Pros:




  1. Easy to use




  2. Wireless internet (specially helpful for the guys living near by ambegaon where there is no BSNL connects available)






I got EVDO from Nashik & its working absolutely fine here at Pune. I will update about the speed soon.


I have opt it on rent of Rs. 200 /- month. Rs. 1000 deposite (Refundable). Rs. 999/- per month for unlimited usage (this rent has been recently revised for new connections but still better than reliance wireless broadband)


Still waiting for my EVDO device
Sep 23, 2009 09:13 PM 4503 Views

I am not yet sure about speeds and all because I am still to get the much-famed EVDO device of BSNL. I have heard a lot about EVDO device, that it is the most affordable wireless internet device available in the market, and that it offers excellent speed.


But, my problem is that getting a EVDO device has been like trying to find a needle in the haystack. When I first went to the franchisee of BSNL near my area, they told me that “absolutely no problem”, I must admit that I was very happy to know that soon I will have my own wireless broadband at very affordable rate. they gave me forms to fill up and asked me to provide address proof and other documents such as electricity bill.


After two days when I went to submit all document, I was told that currently EVDO devices are in short supply and not available. They asked me to confirm with local BSNL exchange, but when I called the local phone numbers, either no one picked up the phone or they were not sure about what was EVDO all about. I tried many times, but since I was unable to make progress, I simply had to give up.


So, if anyone of you has any suggestions, please tell me. Rest all wireless broadband services are too costly, it would help if somehow I can have one of the BSNL’s EVDO devices. Also inform me about speed and all in pune.

Bsnl evdo review
Aug 27, 2009 02:10 AM 8893 Views

After reading all the reviews over here I decided to lay my hands on this device, but let me tell you friends it was not easy to get bsnl evdo connection. let me start off by telling you the customer service of bsnl staff.


The very first day when I went to the bsnl exchange here in dehradun to inquire about evdo, the staff didn had any clue, they all just kept sending me from one place to another and believe me I was totally up with their ignorance, so finally one staff member helped me out with my evdo queries.


So the very next day I went to the bsnl exchange with all my documents and form filled up and Rs1552 with me (i rented evdo card as I was not so sure about their service in my area) and it was Rs 4200 if you wanted to purchase the device.


But my bad luck , the guy who deals with evdo was on a holiday and the lady who was sitting over there refused to accept my form and told me to come tomorrow and submit my documents to the person who deals with evdo. so I went home empty handed..


Finally, I got my device the next day but he told me that it will take 3-4 days to get my services activated. so now as my evdo services are activated and let me share my experience with you guys . First of all I got this device on rent and initially I paid rs. 1552 which includes 1000 rs as a security deposit (which is refundable) and rs.500 as an activation charges plus Rs.52 as service tax. my monthly rental is Rs.650 plus Rs.200 rent plus tax.


I am getting all the five bars on my evdo, and the speed on an average is around 400-800 kbps while browsing and if I download from microsoft or an apple website I have seen speed touching upto 1916 kbps that's been my maximum speed even thugh only fr few seconds lol.. but on an average downloading speed is between 80-120 KBPS...


I dont download any stuff from torrents or any p2p sites, so dnt have any experience regarding that.. As of now I am very happy with their service and with Rs850-900 you gettin unlimited download with a decent speed is not a bad deal. I think bsnl is providing their services very cheap as compared to private companies like tata and reliance but their tariffs are freaking costly with limited bandwidth to use.


But before buying evdo device please make sure with your exchange whether your area is covered to receive this service. that's all I had to say in my review


cheers!

BSNL EVDO SERVICE IN SOUTH BANGALORE
Jul 26, 2009 10:54 AM 7064 Views

Thanks to all reviews in here, I bought BSNL EVDO PCMCIA card yesterday, hoping that at least if not 2.4 Mbps I'll get around 700-800kbps of speed with download speed upto at least around 100kbps.


However, after bringing it to Home, I tried connecting, it said No Signal. I thought, maybe, it's not yet activated. But later on when I took my laptop to the roof top, I found EVDO signal(4 bars). I was happy. Immediately I checked the speed at Speedtest.net, I found its, somewhat around 100kbps.(0.09mbps).


Then I went back to Home, but alas, still no signal!:( I'm thinking now, did I pay so much just to get 100kbps spped that too coming to my roof top? I live hardly 200 mts from the BSNL tower in BTM 1st Stage of Bangalore.


My suggestion, please don't go for this.


BSNL EVDO really good and affordable
Jul 26, 2009 09:18 AM 7337 Views

Hello friends, I am using BSNL EVDO from 6 months in Pune and very much satisfied.The speed though BSNL claims is 2.4 mbps but I get speed of 1090 kbps which is quite goodThe speed depends on your location.If you are located on top floor of a building and no obstacle anywhere in between, then I can say that one can get speed close to 1.5 mbps alsoAll this I can get at affordable price of 550 rupees per month.The unlimited plans from Reliance Netconnect and Tata Photon are very costly.


They account to 3 times more costly than BSNL EVDO.There are many hidden charges in Tata Indicom and Reliance.These companies have many plans which are time based and data basedin time based you can have say 100 hours free in a month and 50 paise per minute after that.But how these are calculated and billed no one knowsSame about data based plans.


So BSNL is good hereThey have just one plan Unlimited usage for 550 rupees a month.No hidden chargesI know that there are many complaints of less bandwidth, slow connection etc for BSNL EVDO but this problem will be solved in 2 years as claimed by BSNLBecause this technology of EVDO is in developing stage hence it will take a time to be stableThe plus points of this technology is 1) Good speed at affordable rates2) Plans which dont have hidden charges


Cons1) The Technical support is not available throughought.It is available only morning 9:30 to Evening 5:302)The waiting period for this device is more.It took 2 weeks for me to get this device


Overall this BSNL EVDO is a good product to use.I Definately recommend it.


Review Edited from this line onwards


I have taken a DSA (Direct selling agency) of BSNL in Pune East area, hence I am authorized for sales of EVDO and wireless devices in Pune and also for broadband and wired phone and mobile sim cards


My main Aim is that the customer should get the best and hence I show the demo of the EVDO right at the customer place where he/she wants so that if the device works well then only I recommend it.Otherwise I straightway refuse to sell it to the customer by saying him/her not to waste your money.


So anybody who require to see demo of BSNL EVDO before purchasing in Pune can call me on 9420196156.I can show you the demo of this device at your location.


Also Roaming is activated in EVDO now


in big metros and cities, where EVDO network is available, you will get speed upto 2.4 mbps and in rural areas and small towns where CDMA 1.x is available, you can get speed of around 230 kbps.


Practically speaking, I tested EVDO at my place during peak hours along with Reliance net connect.


I didnt check Tata Photon plus yet


Result


EVDO gave 650 kbps and Reliance netconnect gave 710 kbps, but downloading speed of both were almost same.But Reliance cost is somewhat more(prepaid plans start from 500 rupees for 700 MB monthly usage) as compared to EVDO 750 rupees unlimited usage


Areas near to telephone exchange get good signals

BSNL EvDO in Trivandrum Kerala
Jun 20, 2009 12:09 PM 8879 Views

Well..First up...T best thing has to be ..its wireless. I mean..tas HAS to be cool! Aright, I initially had the unlimited 256kbps plan. That worked like a charm- barring t "once in a bluemoon" problem.But, then I got a job an moved here, an I realizd I cudnt go on witout an internet connection. So I started scouting for the best...One thing led to another and presto//......i landed on Bsnls EvDo


I applied fer it ...and to my UTTER DISBELIEF...i got it within 15 minutes. I mean, since when did bsnl get so punctual.( The earlier connection I told ya about...t 256 kbps one...that took me a year and a half to get!!..an im not exaggerating!) Anyway..i went home ..excited ...installed it all. Wasntoo hard..an I must say, the device looked verry snazzy!!!


I began using it, an found out it was slower tan snail. Aight...dont panic...i changed the port, an I found a lotta relief. GOt better. but still nowhere near as the said speed of "UPTO 2MbPS"I call quality( I call my folks pretty often on t net) is absolutely terrible! But I somehow gotta adjust! I started moving around wit it in my room. Got upto 400kbps at some places(though not consistently)


Then I moved onto the terrace- there I almos got 700kbps. Think t tas t most by far. Now ppl, the thing is, this is somethin new. It depends on range(EvDO range)..an hence towers. Until an unless there are a good number of towers up an about, ur not gonna get a good speed. So u gotta have patience.


Now another thing, if ur anywhere near the city, ull get a pretty decent speed im sure. Theres no download limit for this.i luv it bcos of this. Using Utorrent I can get speeds upto 30-35kbps...aint bad....but not satisfactory considering im payin 880 bucks er this deaL!!


BUt I wudnt this was too bad....some of the other ISP providerscharge cut throat rates, and compared to them BSNL is absolutely gold. Reliance, TATA , etc, etc..promise awesome speed an stuff..but after we spend upto 4k's on t stuff, they may tell us that e dont have proper range in our place, an we may haveto wait fer towers t come up!...


Thats another plus point of bsnl, they prtty much have range everywhere. But Evdo range is jus bulding up everywhere , so it'll be there in a while, . An remember, speeds can go upto 2 mbps, so thrs always a cushion of improvement.


An one more thing, u can take it anywhere within t state an use it at no extra cost.


While I wudnt recommend this device to ppl who require rocket speed downloads, I wud definitely recommend it t ppl who want decent portable speeds at a decent rate an at an economical cost

I ve been a bsnl customer for quite some time.i ve been using its moblie connection all over rural india - best price verses service offered.the landline broadband I am a fan...now coming to EVDO was lookin for a mobile net connection which covers even rural india with a good speed.


Went to their Koramalgala BDA branch in bangalorethe mobile department BSNL staff indeed did clearly mention that though the advertised speed is 3.1mbps it will hardly give you 2mbps and only within bangalore. it is based on CDMA 1x connection. they even advised me to gather more information of futher connectivity from their main office near GPO, bangalore. which I did.i learnt from tat office that EVDO net is still on experimental stage in few other cities too. its a WLL based connection and so you will get better speed in cities - with CDMA1x tower compared to rural with usuall WLL towers. guess till sept 09 it will improve and expand.(This was a + push for me, definitly looking forward for better coverage by next year as I plan for a long term connection).


Review from other friend users wasreliance had the best speed (it had a premuim price and usage limitation, moreover in long term I had exprienced difficulties with customer support, dead connections and had ended two connections)


EVDO speed was not very great especially with mulitple windows open it almost freezes. I M may09 went for EVDO connection. it was an immediate on the spot delivery on submission of form. koramangala BDA branch was more than help full. activation takes 24 hrs.




  • after installation in the skin(software) setting menu Enter the WLL no. given in ur reciept for both User : & Pass word: (the staff at window in not good for info like thisjust hunt for the right staff, here the head of mobile department in the concerned branch.)- speed differs - I have been using it in flat in HSR layout, Bangalore.(poor for BSNL reception, indoor, even mobile phones) for past 2 weeks speed is poor but then dont expect the performance of bsnl landline broadband connection, multiple windows is painfully slow. at times have to sit in the balcony to get proper signal- avg uprate 60kbps and down rate 122kbps for good signal 20% of my usage- avg uprate 8kbps and downrate 22kbps for poor signals 75% of my usageif I am lucky downrate touches 900kbps 5% of my usage




  • but unlimited download offer in Rs.550 is cool...even if it takes time..good for overnight downloads.. I have downloaded 5 MB file in 1 minute. its true.downloaded 700MB in 7 hrs - normal download.






ITS SURE U NEED PATIENCE TO USE EVDO to reap its benefits... good for home use (for now)

I am using EVDO in South Bangalore, that is Hanumanth Nagar/ Srinagar area from past 20 days. Its in rental basis.


1000 Rs fixed deposit.


550+200+ Srvc Tx PM


225 Installation charge + 3 months rental adv ( One Time)


About speed, I am not a big technical guy, 6MB mp3 song will get downloaded in 2 to 2.5 mins. I am getting green EVDO full signal. If I click on the EVDO Software screen , it says 900kbps, some time 500kbps. Thing is, its not constant as it is wireless, some time it goes to 150 to 200 kbps.


In download accelerator I have seen the download speed as 40kbps, though in torrent I am getting 5 to 10 kbps download as well as upload speed. The weather is not good from few days here, so I am getting an Orange signal with low speed of 180 to 200 kbps. At night it plays You Tube without getting struck , but dont use it if you are a Torrent user.


Overall EVDO is not bad,
