ReplyDeleteWill it work with htc evo 4g cdma mobile?
ReplyDeletewhat about installation charges
ReplyDeletewhat about the installtion charges for that unlimited plan of 750???
ReplyDeleteit was 2mbps when its was launched. ..... now the speed is so pathetic......it serves a max speed of 835kbps....and a downloading speed of 60 to 100 kbps to the max.............asianet homenet 475 is much much better than this....event though the asianet plan is not unlimited one, but its having a free time usage from 2am to 8am with speed of 4mbps at all time... !!!
ReplyDeletebsnl reduced speed for the plan(750 - unlimited) because some people used home plan for business purpose which resulted in a high amount of data transfer (~600GB/per month from a single user) ...... and they normalized the speed.......now whats the differences between wimax and broadband ??? wimax is suppose to give min of 1 to 2 mbps bandwidth, not 512 or 800 kbps .......
ReplyDeletei must say that bsnl could have taken a feed back from us, i mean we users, before they reduced the speed.......
now its 1mbps bsnl reduced wimax speed
