3.1 mbps wow, this is gonna be rocking speed on wireless internet.. rcom.com has mentioned the following plan details on their website, http://www.rcom.co.in/Communications...nd_tariff.html and it seems that plans are not bad at all in beginning level..
Thanks for the great info aadi..

Here Is http://forums.techarena.in/india-broadband/1139078.htm I think Reliance tariff plan is cheaper then TATA photon USB modem.

The speed of 3.1mbps is the burst speed. You cannot compare this with the ADSL or cable Internet which gives an average speed of 2mbps. The average speed of netconnect broadband+ is somewhere in the range of 512kbps and you can consider it equivalent to a 512kbps wired broadband connection.

The speed offered ranges between 400-512kbps at the highest! And this also keeps fluctuating regularly. The service isnt that great and the signal strength is very weak!
