But it is true that initial investment is a lose to the customer always either it is broadband landline or wireless.
I already have 3G connection also. Frustrated with the experience from Asianet, I bought the 3G of BSNL. (At that time only BSNL and MTS has licence for 3G and MTS had very poor performance I experienced). I got very good result - Very good speed, reliability etc at that time. Also they have several promotional and unlimited packages. I have invested Rs.2000/- for the data usb device and other miscellaneous charges. But as customers increased, BSNL has brought several restrictions on band with ( I think so ) and it was not suitable for mass downloads like OS cds/dvds etc. Also they have stopped the unlimited schemes on 3G at that time. Though I had much interest in Wimax, the experience got from the 3G forced me to adopt the landline. It is only later I have identified that the usb device supplied by BSNL was compatiable with only 3.6 mbps, It was wise to buy an unlocked one having 7.2 speed paying just 300 or more. Now, the Asianet moder worth Rs.1300/- and the usb device Rs.2000/- is a dead investment for me. 3G is a money eater. I think among the 3G services, bsnl is the cheapest one.
