BSNL to launch 3G service in Bangalore in July

BSNL will launch 3G mobile services to its subscribers in Bangalore from July this year

Monday, May 04, 2009

MUMBAI, INDIA: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), the state-owned telecom service provider, said that 3G mobile services will be available to its subscribers in Bangalore from July this year.

BSNL is investing around Rs. 650 crore for installation of equipment and other infrastructure for launching the services in Bangalore. The 3G mobile services will be available across the state after December this year, a senior BSNL official said, reports Business Standard.

Bangalore will be the second city in South India to get 3G mobile services from BSNL after Chennai, where the service was launched in February this year. BSNL 3G mobile services are currently available in 10 north Indian cities.

The customers of 3G services will get three main services like video on demand, video conferencing and broadband on mobile.

Hi All, I am from Bangalore and stay near Majestic area. I too bought a BSNL 3G with a data card after Diwali. The signal strength in my area is almost 98-100%. Considering this, I get an average speed of 1.5 - 2 Mbps. The maximum file download speed which I observed while downloading a file form Oracle website was 360 KBps. Remember its KBps and not Kbps with a small 'b'. So that was truly amazing. The least speed observed in the same site was 120-140 KBps with a slight fluctuation. Torrent downloads with 4 file simultaneously, the total bandwith for download nearly reached 390-400 KBps, and upload was 1-1.5 Mbps. This is truly amazing provided u have sufficient signal in ur respective areas. The only doubt I have here is whether the 4200 Rs, plan for 6 months is really unlimited or is there any cap on the usage which they call as "Fair Usage Policy". One more question please. Am using Huawei data card, model no e1752, which I purchased for Rs 3800/= Is this the correct price? Or have I paid more for this ? Any body who knows about this or who want to know anything about BSNL's 3G experience can drop me a mail to mohammedbit@gmail.com Thanks, Mohammed P.
