internet connection-reliance forced to upgrade to 4g

#11
I have migrated from CDMA to 4G (Reliance) because CDMA is shutting down -- or has already shut down -- in a few circles including Mumbai.

The new 4G sim was supposed to be sent by courier but that didn't happen. So I went to the gallery and got one. It says 4G on the sim but I tested with an app called Network Cell Info Lite, and it shows 3G. Still, I'm getting speeds between 250-400 Kbps.

My Reliance dongle too has to be changed (it's been blinking red since the beginning of June with intermittent access late in the day). Best to get a 4G sim and get an unlocked dongle like Huawei from Amazon.

4G WiPod is going to be available and active only by Jun 30.

Regarding this...


Just wanted to add that You Broadband has been acquired by Vodafone

For nearly a month now I have received SMS from rcom saying that my 4G sim has been despatched, but haven't received anything so far. Had 2 calls in last 3 days from them telling me about the upgrade and confirming my address. But nothing has reached me so far. Tried contacting them on *222 but can't get through. Which other numbers can I try ? The dongle has been giving red light since last Monday, but the connection is very patchy. I am seriously thinking of getting a broadband connection. My problem is that I keep shifting cities twice a month these days.
timepass bro
reliance customer care is worst..I have tried their all numbers..even i hold for 45 minutes..but no reply..
4 4g upgradation, you need to go reliance gallery..their you need to take 4g sim & new dongle..
if you keep moving, broadband connection will not helpful..only wireless connection
thanks

Nifty Taurus,

These are some options :

1. Hathway - if they have cable in your area, go for it. 3 month plan cost 3,000 (Rs. 1,000 per month) including router. I am getting 15 MBPS download and 6 MBPS upload. Not faced any issue so far.

2. My second ISP is Tata Broadband. This is a back up service. The speed is slow. They have good service facility if there is any issue. If you are looking for speed in absence of Hathway, then check this plan :




3. I had written my experience with MTNL. New connection of 4 MBPS. Within two hours of service activation, it went of 5-6 times. Thereafter, if went off for a stretch of 14 hours (reconnected the next day) I promptly surrendered my MTNL modem and asked for a disconnection.

4. Read today in the papers that Reliance Jio is offering with their Lyfe handsets unlimited download at reportedly 50 MBPS speed. (Not sure as this is hearsay) But suggest you try/apply for Reliance Jio connection.

Good luck.
thanks DSM Bro for your detailed reply..
I will check all options
thanks

hi niftytaurus ji,
i m facing the same dilemma .
i was using reliance since 2009 and no issues so far.
now the prob is the dongle was bought in chennai during my college days. now i m not in chennai. i got 4g sim which belongs to ap circle, thus i m unable to upgrade.

i m also searching for wired broadband, narrowed down to YOU broadband and ACT. not decided yet.
hi Vijay Bro
If you want to continue with reliance, surrender old no of AP circle ..
buy a new 4g connection & dongle from reliance from your present city...
i am also searching for one wired connection also
thanks

Dear friends
Thanks to all for giving your valuable advice & suggestions..I am sincerly greatful for this..
To sorting this problem, I had to go reliance gallery..they told that I have to take 4g only from the city where I take it first..so due to my health reasons, I am not nearly going to the original city..so I will think of closing that connection..& will think of buying reliance 4g as 2nd wireless connection..
so meanwhile I need a urgent connection to do trading ..so on friday, I apply for Tata photon wifi..they provide dongel at home @ cost of 2000 rs on saturday..& it gets activated on sunday..fast service..so today I will be able to start trading with it..I dont know much about speed..as long as my zerodha & GFDL data feed is running without interruption..I am ok..
I have 2 reliance connection..so 2nd connection is working till now..lets see how long wil it go..
when i go back to original city , i will take a broadband connection..its the plan as if now

but I want to ask senior fellow traders..how to trade interrupt..how to make infrastructure of computers,laptop & internet connection to trade without breeak?
thanks

How much monthly charges ? How much data ??

Actually that's where rcom beats all the others. I have 40GB @Rs. 999 (Rs. 1138 including all the taxes). For me too, about 90% of the usage is for trading where I use 3 softwares - NOW, ztrader and trade tiger.

Spoke with rcom fellow in chat. He too said that I have to collect the 4g card from Surat and then apply online for a 4g pod. Will do that when visiting Surat later this month.
hi
its monthly 800 rs for 5GB.I use this connection only for trading ..no video or audio ..so I manage with that data also..
thanks
