[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]So for the 751 5GB plan we will get 7.5GB instead! That's super cool

Will recharge on Monday.

Its applicable for Chennai SIMs or all TN SIMs?[/font]

Should be applicable for rest of TN as well, I think it's considered as one circle now.

The Rs 750 plan on iPad sims usually have 6 GB so during this offer, 9 GB!

I mentioned about the regular SIM plan. Will definitely do a recharge on Sunday, Monday. Will update the status here.
 
^ Oh k. But do check it once again. My sim which was capped at 1Mbps during the unlimited plan period is now giving full 4-5 Mbps! ")
 
[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Yeah, using that SIM occasionally. Still capped to 256kbps

Plain unlucky i guess.[/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]My friend recharged TN 3G Normal SIM with the 5GB Rs.751 plan and he got 7.5GB data instead. So its working fine for all TN SIM's I guess.[/font]
 
Well I hope some bsnl user can help me..

I have a bsnl sim which till had healthy balance. I dont know whether it was a 2G or 3G sim. Next I ventured to bsnl portal website where I did "3G DATA recharge" for Rs 100. I got a successful confirmation and on checking with *123*10# they show the following:

"Your plan is "3G special", You have "995.99" in your account valid till xx-xx-xxxx .

Now the problem I am facing is that when I am using that sim to connect to net using my data card, I am getting dismal speed similar to 2G / Edge.

Can anyone please suggest what I am doing wrong?

[font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]BTW, has anyone found any ways to improve upload speeds on BSNL 3G network? (Sorry if I am asking this question again. I could not go through all 160 pages.

^^ Is the data card itself 3G?

(do you have an old 2G data card)?
Click to expand...

The data card is Huawei E173 which in theory should go upto 7.2 mbps.

With airtel 3G I regularly get upto 4 MBps

But with bsnl even after doing 3G recharge/Topup, My speed is restricted to 256 KBps..
 
can anyone help me.

i am using bsnl 3G on huwaei E1750 and E353 my problem is my connection after connect goes from HSDPA to WCDMA.

as a result very low speed.

If i download in background constant then it remain on HSDPA but when i only need for browsing the connection goes from HSDPA to WCDMA as a result browsing not possible.

any one have same problem ?
 
Folks, how do I use BSNL GPRS using a BSNL 3G modem? (I have unlocked the modem and am successfully using Aircel GPRS with it.) When I try to connect, it tries to use 3G and doesn't connect (as I have exhausted my 3G bandwidth). How can I use GPRS using this modem? The funny thing is, this works successfully in Linux.
