I will be getting turbo 444 from tomorrow.I have 5 year old pentium 3 700 mhz computer with intel i810e tomato zx motherboard.I have usb 1.1 port.Will this usb 1.1 slow down my net speeds?Will I have to install usb 2.0 on my computer? That will be expensive as I may have to buy new motherboard and stuff!! :huh: :angry: this turbo 444 offers 444 mb and 444 minutes talktime.talktime is useless for me as I only need internet. what is ideal plan for me. I am light-medium internet user.

invest 150 bucks more to get 128 unlimited. u dont have to pay anything for calls. you get unlimited internet.

err.. you did not comment upon my usb 1.1 port situation. Will it significantly reduce my net speed? Do I have to go for usb 2 port? 🤔 🙁

Answering both your questions:
[*]USB 1.1 will not hamper your speeds unless you get a connection over 12 Mbps!!!
[*]Home 699 Plus is what you need to go for. It's not a top-up plan, and you get 128Kbps unlimited for Rs. 699 (modem rent included) + taxes.
[/list]oh, and FYI you don't need to upgrade your motherboard to get USB 2.0 !!! You just get a PCI card and installing it is a piece of cake.

Hmm, does this work well at all ?
Tho given the parent posters config, i think he may be able to use just one PCI card as the other 2 slots would be for video & sound and locked to those. I use a PC similar to the one described and this limitation drives me nuts. The only PCi card that has to be there is a ethernet one and thats it.

well I have a USB 2.0 card in one of my (4) slots... works like a gem - never given me a problem. but yes if you don't have a slot free, then you don't have that option.anyway, USB 1.1. is sufficient for any kind of broadband connection available in India, so this is a moot issue right now.
