BSNL 3G is a actually a great service apart from the poor customer support. I barely use my Airtel Mobile Office GPRS connection after I got my BSNL 3G connection.
I still have it because , Airtel’s network coverage is pretty good. But GPRS/EDGE is slow so I prefer using 3G. I get an average speed of 800Kbps to 1 Mbps. Now after my free usage got over, I was paying Rs.1 per MB approx from my prepaid account balance which is expensive. BSNL 3G has 3G Data plans which are actually pretty reasonably priced. There are plans ranging from Rs.249 (500 MB Free usage ) to Rs.2499 (unlimited). A lot of users have been asking about how to recharge the 3G SIM cards with more usage.
Wizdom.In and FoneArena.com have joined hands to bring to you a GPRS / EDGE / 3G Speed Tester.
You need to simply install the free application on your mobile phone and sit back and relax as the tests are being carried out.
Please register for the Speed Test . We will contact you shortly with the details on How to get started.
