Bought a 7.2 mbps unlocked reliance 3g modem for 1.7 from a small shop,now getting around 200-250kBps from public torrents.Should improve after 11 pm.One question,any alternative to MDMA for mac?
Don`t know,bought it from a small roadside shop which sells sim cards and handsets.

From what I have read, MTNL mumbai is capping speeds for their own customers! And also BSNL and MTNL are the only options for affordable 3G plans at the moment.
Will prolly go for either of them and will opt for 250 Rs., 500 MB Plan. Anything over that would cost a rupee per MB. So that's fine!
One more stupid thing from BSNL.
I recharged with the 98RCV for 2GB GPRS/1 month validity on 2 jan 2011.
After that I recharged with the Rs197 Top Up for 3G data. (My main validity is 30 July 2011) This top up shd give me additional 500MB usage at 3G speeds. I used only 60MB. Today when my GPRS pack expired it is charging me for data usage. This 197 top up was done on 22 Jan 2011.
What abt the 500 MB ????
I am not even willing to call the BSNL helpline... coz I know even if I get connected it would be a hell explaining them my issue

Re: BSNL Launches Full Value 3G Combo Plans
Either these plans have not yet started in Maharashtra or the denomination is not exactly 331 as the Note 5 mentions.
Cancelled my plan to port to BSNL from Reliance. Going for Vodafone now.

few years back there was a heavy shortage of BSNL sims in Maharashtra and they were going for a high premium. A local shopkeeper in my town sold few sim cards to unknown ppl at premium rates thinking that since they are prepaid it was safe. But a few months later he was arrested in connection of a murder. Guess what... the guy whom he sold his card was someway involved in that crime but by SIM records the police reached him....
Tried to recharge (not Top Up) with the 331 plan given above. I entered the Recharge amount as 331 but it failed giving a message as Invalid Denomination.bigbyte said:In an attempt to provide greater benefits to the 3 G mobile service users, the all new Anytime Anywhere 3 G Call and Data Usage Combo Plans works best for mobile phone users who need both 3 G voice, Video and high-speed data connectivity.

NEVER sell your sim cards ... or share Internet connections with others for earning/saving little cash.apextwin146 said:Ok so i probably have to go outside the country for >6 months.
