MTNL Launches Unlimited 3G Data Plan for Rs. 750 in Mumbai

The speed remains the same.. check my signature.. I am getting > 200 KBps speed in torrent with good number of seeds and in direct downloads :)

But the disconnection issue still remains with MTNL
 
I've been having issues with my speeds as of 6 PM Friday. Wasn't able to connect for an hour or 2, post which I can't get past 120kb/s DL speeds even with 4 spokes on my signal strength :(

Does 3rd Party Un-Locked 3G Dongle works without any problem with ANY 3G Sim Card. I do not want to stuck with particular service provider so with to buy Unlock 3G USB Dongle.

Thanks :)
 
Yes i think others are using those unlocked 3g modem namely the huawei UMG1831 bought from ebay.
@emperor
there is an ebay seller who sells these modem in malad.
You can call him and fix a deal outside of ebay to save some cash ;)
alternately try for demo from other operators for their modem.
Get the model of that modem and google for their unlock code to determine how easy or difficult it is do a free unlock.
This might turn out cheap :S
 
^ Frequent disconnection is usual with MTNL network. I suggest to use the software "Reconnect" along with windows dialer to avoid this.
 
^^Shouldn't the Windows dialer suffice? I wanted to control my torrents downloads on it using Teamviewer from office, but MTNL doesn't seem to be in a mood to let me.
 
I don't think so.. Why can't you use "Reconnect" as it's anyway light weight software, but if you can achieve with windows dialer alone that would be great.

I did use teamviewer, but they rejected the free license after sometime.. Now using LogMeIn, but it's very slow due to long pingtime i guess

Does MTNL or other 3G service provider will refund any if latter we wish to discontinue with 3G service & return the Dongle, how much if any? . @ MTNL they are now charging ~ Rs.1750/- for 3G Dongle & free data ~ 250mb.
 
MTNL has introduced a stunning new plan. For 300 + 200 (Add-on), you get unlimited free inter-network calling, free talkime worth Rs. 200 and 2 GB of data!
 
Questions guys:

1. My friend living in Mumbai, he's gonna buy the 3G stick, and bring it to college. Now where our college is(Karnataka), we have BSNL 3G, good signals here. So the MTNL 3G stick would piggy back on BSNL's network and continue giving me 3G right?

2. The monthly limit is 200GB?

3. Should I buy the stock 3G stick or is there some specific modem with which this 3G sim would work the best?

4. Can we use this sim on our phones for 3G DATA ACCESS only?

I also am based in Mumbai but on my frequent visits to Bangalore and surrounding areas of Bangalore (near Kanakpura Rd) I want to be able to use the connection. Would MTNL DATA roam FREE on BSNL?
