My experience has been great so far. I bought this service in Hyderabad about ten days ago and I have been quite satisfied. I have purchased a 60 hrs. plan / month. Speeds are great and steady at 600-700kbps. I could download and watch online TV, browse and do steady downloads simultaneously. Second, the latencies have been 50ms away from enterprise / corporate grade connections which is superb. I found VoIP (soft phone) working perfectly well while I browse simultaneously.
Check out this screen shot of the speeds i usually get these days. I also hear that they are adding servers, coverage and tower muscle to accommodate its demand.
For those still contemplating, its a loud Yes to go for it.
Tech specs, yes it is part of CDMA2000 series under 3gpp2 and should technically be 3G as described in its respective website. However the existing bands that are unused are allocated to this service that are not used or underutilized making it not necessary operate in a 3G spectrum. Or why do I care?
For those dreaming about 3G, though it may be a reality in an year, its basic infrastructure requirements are relatively high. You need a phone that supports this technology, have a bluetooth or cable to use it, buy a plan (am sure will be expensive in the first year plus, and won't be as affordable to this one (expecting it to be around 1500+) and then basically using it to fulfill wireless internet needs. You are already making a headway by having this now. And this is 3G compatible so it does not matter. And 3G on GSM/CDMA is good 2 years from being affordable. We paid same amount for 1G CDMA data cards / plug-2-surf kind of stuff. This is fantastic for the same price. Who cares about 3G being launched or not?:hap2: :tongue:
Enjoy!!
