Few months ago I complained here DIRECTORATE OF PUBLIC* GRIEVANCES about bad evdo speed in my area. A divisional engineer named K.Lal used to call me often after that and used to apologize for inconvenience caused and all that and told me that they would install new tower nearby to my home.I also got a letter from Directorate of Public Grievances Cabinet Secretariat regarding the same that they will take action :S I thought they are bluffing and making fool of me,
As still I have great passion for Wireless
So in order to check if he had really taken any action to improve coverage,
Recently I recharged with 250Rs for 7 days Unlimtied on my EVDO no ( General Plan) but was not getting any speed above 512kbps if connected directly to PC though attenuation was -79dbm with full signal and 5bars. So used an extension Hub, placed it on the Printer and wrapped it with an aluminum foil ( as its a good conductor of BSNL wireless signals as said to be :S and also placed an cd near to it as suggested by some :Read: and getting this speed all the time. :S Yesterday downloaded above 6GB from Video streaming sites :secret:

Though the Upload speed still sucks not above 160kbps and there is a drawback that if I download 600MB at a stretch the connection disconnects automatically.Not to mention the latency is also still poor in BSNL.🙁
But still its better than other wireless providers as long its UNLIMITED.
