Hi,

I've got a Tata Photon+ USB that I've been trying to use with my lappy from yesterday.

Although the signal strength shows > 90% (usually around 94-100) I still see that when downloading files the speed fluctuates a lot usually starts at 120-130+ kBps and then goes down (even as low as 2kBps) after which it climbs back after some time to stay around 30-40 kBps.

Really cant figure out why this is happening even though the signal strength is obviously very good.

Does anyone know if there is some way to improve these speeds?
 
Don't look at the Signal Strength alone, for me the speed even depends on the position I keep the modem. If you don't travel much, get an EVDO Wireless router and put it somewhere the speeds are good maybe near the window or balcony etc so you get constant and better speeds.
 
Hmm... guess I would need to try moving the modem around with the USB dongle they have provided then?

Anyone knows what are the normal speeds that we get with this in Bangalore?
 
Ya attach the USB extension cable and try different positions. :)

In Chennai city I've got 250-300kBps easily whereas in the outer city where I live, I get about 100-125kBps avg. Sometimes in the range of 150-175kBps whereas it may go in the 40-60kBps range too.
