BSNL Evdo Wireless broadband service
After Tata and Reliance, it is now Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited which has introduced USB data cards for wireless internet service, and speeds of which can reach to 2.4 MBPS.
It is called as EVDO Card.
There are no registration charges, and activation cost is Rs. 250.
EV-DO Device cost = Rs. 7,500
Right now, the speed of broadband available is 144 kbps and after the CDMA EVDO card is introduced, the speed of 2.4 Mbps can be reached.
Rental cost is Rs. 250 per month.
Still it is not available everywhere, but only in selected cities.
And the download/upload is unlimited.
Here is how the EVDO card looks like -

Thanks for the info. Has anyone tested the speed and seen how it performs. I am not really happy with my Reliance Data card.

I’m browsing with one
And it costs only Rs 3500+taxes, they’ve cut the prices.
If you’re in Kerala, you’re lucky because there’s a lot of EVDO coverage and easy availability of the device (as I got it within a week).

@Shinil I use it outside EVDO coverage, and it gives 70-140 Kbps (fluctuates a lot every second). Forget torrents, though - this baby sucks in it.

The speed of this card is also fairly low, say about 100 kbps but it does offer unlimited download (gr8 for me). However, Bsnl officials believe that the speed will reach 2.4 mbps very soon.

i recently visited bsnl office in hosur, TN. they asked me to give application and would inform when the devices are available. when i called 2 days back, they said device is available and cost of it is 6000/-. how did they increase from 4k to 6k suddenly. i have recently seen one press statement from qualcom that they would offer evdo device for 3.5k. what is the bsnl motive behind this to increase the device cost suddenly.

Really bsnl evdo is good. but it has limited coverge.
September 27th, 2008 at 7:41 am
Yes. EVDO is ok.
But EVDO’s main Disadvantage is,
Shared IP Address.
You could not use Rapidshare Downloads and other streaming Download sites. So it is sucks..
So I’m waiting for Dynamic IP address in Wireless broadband.

I have been using EVDO for about ten days in Yerawada,Pune.After the initial follow up as with any government office,my netconnection started working.Some other buyers are not as lucky.They keep getting the message “remote computer did not respond” frequently.However,I have a feeling that apart from the strength of the signal and the management of it by the chinese modem,a user’s PC also matters a lot.Many people are not even aware about the virus-infected status of their systems.They should not squarely blame BSNL.if other things are taken care of,EVDO does a fair job compared to a dial-up.I have been getting speeds varying between 60KBPS during morning office hours to about 245KBPS midnight at 3a.m.I am happy because I could not get a broadband from BSNL in the last two years even with follow up, but got EVDO within two days.
