Hi Friends, For all you people who wanted to know about the new Tata Photon broadband wireless in Goa. This will give you most of the answers. It has been launched in Goa last week, not officially. It’s great for people who live in cities and beach areas the speed is superb. Comparing it to BSNLs wireless (wimax) its portable, initial cost is much less, and its roaming. Though BSNL has GSM or with roaming their initial cost is much higher and the units are not available. Bsnls EVDO is not roaming, and major signal issues. Advantage over other providers is that it's roaming and at a wonderful speed, means you can carry it out of Goa to other states and it works seamlessly. No other provider has this speed in usb sticks / modems. I would recommend it to someone who wants a good speed internet connection and portable. Now coming to the costs: Its available only in post paid connection as of now. So documents like passport or election card is a must. It takes 3 -6 days to get activated, they (Tata) do a address verification and signal test before giving you a connection. The cost is 3600 initially for the unit includes activation and comes with plans 299 per month to 2000 per month. Speed is more than 256 kbps. I have personally tested the unit and got 512 kbps. Right now there is a scheme if you pay 4000 (instead of 3600) you get 10gb free for 2 months. On any rental plan. For further queries you could contact me, I can even book the connection for you.
