Anybody using Idea unlimited 3G plan (650 bucks)?

[cool_dude]

Here it is - http://www.ideacellular.com/wps/wcm...ffPlanType=Postpaid&CntID=maharashtra#unplans. They offer 3GB at 3G speed and then the speed gets reduced to 80Kbps. I plan to use it on my PC since no other ISP provides service in my area (Dhankawadi, Pune).

Have you used it? If yes, how is the speed after 3Gb limit is crossed?

80 Kbps is pretty low buddy. Your webpages too won't happen fast. Forget video and pics in webpages.

OP,
Airtel Broadband is available at your place. Why not try it?

Problem with airtel / reliance and such is that they are usually available in the area but that does not mean it will be available in my building. This is happening in Aundh area of Pune where i stay. Airtel is everywhere even in the building just 100 meters from mine and they don't provide internet in my society.

Same was the case with me. You gotta keep on calling the local airtel broadband guys on a regular basis. Eventually they'll give up and install the lines in your society provided your society secretary gives them a NOC for trenching work.

Thanks for your comments guys. But is there nobody who has actually used this service here?

If you are talking about the same plan. yes i have used it.
with that Post FUP speed, you can browse a plain vbulltein forums without issues
If this 3Gb is just for mails and occasional facebook. Its fine.

Idea`s service was good few years back. after 3g arrival it has drastically came down. Suggest you find a local broadband connection than this 3g

 

[swatkats]

and if you talk about speeds 3-4mbps. 4-6mbps during night time (12-6am)

I did Get a 7mbps+ speed once. When i was testing at Idea cellular Showroom

I have been using Idea 3g in Pune in Dhanori area. I have used it for more than 4-5 months and I can tell you that the speeds are pathetic. These guys promise for 3g speeds (which I believe should be above 2 Mbps at anytime since I am paying a hefty sum for it) and most of the time you will end up having speed below 1 Mbps that too if you are lucky that day.

I would suggest to go for wired broadband only. 3g in only scenario where you do not have anything other service provider and you need it badly and that too you can live with the speed hiccups.

Ohhh... That's bad. And what about the speeds after crossing 3Gb limit? How were they? At least good for web browsing?
