USB port available.  Other details, I don't know.  It was supplied by BSNL.
There may be other products for your requirements.  The addresses of the
company is available from this site:

 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.

In my experience, the private broadband providers are worst than BSNL.
Our company had really bad experience with Reliance and Tata Indicom
broadband and ultimately terminated the connections. The prime reason
is the opaqueness in billing and support staff's ignorance in
technical knowledge.

Whenever the connection went bad the support people always suggested
to restart Windows(Desktop), and our system administrators has to
explain in detail about the router(Vyatta) and the connection sharing
within the network. Subsequently, the issue is ignored by saying that
it's the problem with the *Open Source* stuff we are using.

When subscribing for the private broadband service, they will have
*Enterprise* and *Domestic* plans, but once we report an issue it is
always in the *Domestic* pool ans will not get it resolved.

Our experience with Tata Indicom was the worst. For 2 months we never
had connectivity, and reported the issue several times but they never
resolved it. During this period, the Modem was active and as soon as
we terminated the connection, they claimed that we were using the
connection showing as the report which had an average data transfer of
1MB per day. We have to spend another 2 months to settle the billing
issue after terminating the connection.

BSNL service is better in our area(Ernakulam), at least the
technicians will visit the office at least to verify the modem
indicators, others preferred telephone and prompted stupid steps.

 True. But I meant that you wont be stuck with a twisted pair line that
 is as flimsy as a cloth line. Atleast, the wireless communication
 medium (air) wont break every 24 hours leaving you at the mercy of
 their questionable competence. Considering the hassle, I definitely
 prefer a non-portable wireless solution - you need only worry about a
 data card!

Agreed. But I am now desperately looking for another solution. BSNL
has not solved dozens of complaints about the stupid connection and
now they are arrogantly neglecting the new ones. I am wondering if I
should take them to consumer court. It is disheartening to see their
contemptuous disregard for the rights of a customer who pays for their
services. So for anyone who is thinking about their landline services,
my advice would be to pretend that they don't exist.

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.

True. But I meant that you wont be stuck with a twisted pair line that
is as flimsy as a cloth line. Atleast, the wireless communication
medium (air) wont break every 24 hours leaving you at the mercy of
their questionable competence. Considering the hassle, I definitely
prefer a non-portable wireless solution - you need only worry about a
data card!

how so ? you still have to either buy a wimax or 3g modem/card to use those 
services. and in most cases will be locked to providers network(the ones 
already in market) so portability will be an issue as well.

  It is ok as far as your connection doesn't break. However if it
does, it is a lost cause. They appear to lack the competence or
resources to correct it. It is best to go for a wireless connection
(Wimax or 3G data) since it doesn't entail a permanent investment.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Re: Best type II modem

2011-09-13 Thread sunil s
Thank u everybody for the replies

This is for my friends who has booked BSNL broadband.
He can avail the rural tariff and also 20 percent discount as a government
employee.
BSNL broadband is a best solution for him.  (He informed that BSNL
authorities has stopped supplying modems enquired best modem).

Currently I am using BSNL broadband with the modem in rental basis - which
is vmc AN 1020-21- I think the latest and the best one (cost may be around
1600).
  Is this one available for purchase?

my search lead me to the beetle modem ( I think it was the earlier one
supplied by bsnl) - it lacks the usb port and another port from that of the
vmc modem).

I am interested in the points of Gokul das.

If its is true, what about other service providers?

I was a customer of Asianet Dataline and feeling discomfort, switched over
to BSNL
At present it is marvellous.  (No problems faced till date).

And anybody have experience the Wimax from BSNL?

2011-09-10 Thread Visakh
Hi,
  I don't know if this is meaningful here, but may I suggest that you
avoid any of BSNL's landline based services? The dearth of official
modems is a very ominous indication of a deeply systemic rot in their
services. They have been totally incompetent in solving very
frequently occurring problems with their DSL service. And lately, they
have started to totally neglect any complaints. I also heard rumours
that they were instructed not to deal with complaints which require
replacement of any of their equipments (the sources will remain anon).

Regards,
Gokul Das
