Hi Guys,
I got the 3G sim today and got activated just now. My mobile is Nokia 5230 connected to ovi suite through bluetooth. I have added the APN settings as bsnlnet . When i tried it just works :eek:hyeah: . I was happy and tested the speed and i got just 0.62 Mbps :mad: Dont know what is the issue. Am I missing anything else? Please help me.

Use data cable for speed improvement, speedtest donot always shows the real speed, use auditmypc internet test - better than speedtest.

Dunno about speed but BSNL's UMTS network here in Rajasthan sucks, i live in mid of the city and no network for 3G.

TE always rocks .. Thanks guys I am getting decent speed now after 50 bucks ca 101 cable. After the internet gets connected it shows 460.8kbps speed. But the result is



Tested a small 10 MB torrent download. It downloaded blistering quick. Max it attained 256KBPS thats still short of advertised 3.6 Mbps though.

You can get bsnl 3g in any Telephone exchange. I am staying in Ramamurthy nagar. I got the sim card from ITI colony telephone exchange

B'Lore / Chennai
Do I need B'Lore address proof because all my govt. issued cards are based on my Chennai address...Will they accept those for prepaid like airtel or they will need a proof for B'lore address ?

You need 2 proofs basically. 1 is the photo proof that is (Dl, voter id, pan card) second one is the residential proof identity which should be on your name and bangalore address (mostly your rental agreement) Since I do not have rental agreement with me I asked the csc, if they are ok if i provide my office id card which has bangalore residential address. They accepted that

Tested the 3G speed in chennai. To say the least its pathetic . I am staying in Porur and the max speed i can achieve is 512 kbps. Went ahead and tried utorrent it reached peak speed 200 KBPS but hovered around 150 KBPS.



What could be the reson may be so many users switched to 3G in Chennai as compared to Bangalore?
