Anyone on BSNL EVDO?

Rapidshare or similar ? As long its not warez, no issues :)

Btw, been using the similar service by Tata (The Photon) for the last one month. Its much costlier though at 1500 per month for unlimited but speeds are constant at 180 ~ 230 KBps except for times when there's very heavy load when it goes down to 40 ~ 100 KBps. Upload speeds are good too at a minimum of 30 KBps and going upto 50 ~ 60 KBps. And the signal is full always and am not near any tower :P

The only catch being that Tata still does not have the licence to run this service inside the city. Once you come within city limits, it changes to the 1x mode where its supposed to be 128 kbps. But even on 1x I get anywhere between 144 ~ 300 kbps :P

I was planning to take Photon. They said the tower is at Tambaram. How far away are you from the tower? Also do you get speeds in 200kBps range at night time? Please share more info about it.

cisco_tech - You are getting really awesome speeds. :P

There are no installation charges. Had they charged you anything, you'd be kicking yourself. Its just a USB thumb drive like modem. Plug it in, put the CD that comes with the drivers and the terminal s/w in, install and you're done.

Instant activation.. Wah !! :P

Errr... Is the card being detected ? :S Left click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon and check (Not considering you a n00b :P).

lol, yep...i can actually create a Dial Up connection using the card and internet works fine.Usually, i have to move the modem around a bit so that i can achieve max signal strength but w/o the ZTE Dialer, i can't see the s/g strength and its a bit irritating.
 
ok. i found that that ZTE software for vista is a Russian version. and in Russia Telco provide EV-DO with R-UIM card . so that is the reason you guys are getting errors. But you can install the Dialer from CD and later on update the X64 driver from above link. it works just tried on mine.
 
I got my TATA Photon connection today. Only the CDMA 1x is activated now. The HSIA ( High Speed Internet Access ) will get activated only after two days. :(

I told you so :P

Hehe :)

The guy who came to install, tested his own modem in which HSIA was activated. The signal strength was full but download speeds were around only 30-40kBps. :( :no:

Even @ speedtest.net it showed only like 300kbps. :(

Freaky - Are you really getting 100-200 kBps??
