I have been using Tata Indicom Wimax connection for last 2.5 months, recently Tata has upgraded my plan to infinity 384 Kbps . Connection reliability is very good, Speed is also excellent. I have tested the speed on multiple speed testing sites . Speed is around 380+KBPS at all times. I am really satisfied with there service.
On hitch is that you have to keep the modem on all times to avoid delay in connting to base site.

I got a Tata Indicom Wimax connection
installed last week and it has been working quite well so far .
My package is 256 infinity and all the speed
tests show a download speed of 240+ though the upload is slower more in the 150
- range. I Choose a post-paid plan in which U pay advance rental for 4 months,
your Installation and Security Deposit will be waived+ You get 2 Months of
FREE broadband. I have got a good response from their support center clarifying
all my queries and also got calls from them inquiring about quality of
installation etc.
Overall a good experience till now. I have
seen a lot of connectivity breaks being reported by people in various forums
and my guess most of them are because of a weak signal. I would suggest people
to follow the following procedures while installing to avoid such issues
- Ensure that the engineer who comes for
installation checks for signal strength for all the possible towers near your
area. Also since wimax is directional(unlike a mobile tower) even the
orientation is important.
- Ensure that the antenna is installed as
high as possible and pointing to a direction where there are minimum
obstructions(mostly buildings & trees/hills)
3.
Check the signal strength of your connection. Ask your engineer to show you how
to do that. Pretty easy to do just telnet 192.168.1.1(login with a default
login pass which your engineer will let you know). And do a "sh bs".
This show you the signal strength which should be 20+ for good connectivity.
Though your engineer might say 16+ is good
ensure its 20+. Mine is 26 and I have downloaded quite a bit with no
connectivity issues. Hope you guys take care of the following tips & enjoy
