I am thinking of subscribing to one of these plans:

The reliance guy had called up and asked if I would like to see a demo
before purchase. I was surprized to hear such words from a Reliance customer
care. The last time I had a reliance connection was 4 years back and their
customer care was pathetic that time.
So I have this Tata Indicom Data card since 2006. Works great. Have
used it at various places - from dusty Panvel to streets of Delhi to
lanes of Kharagpur to beautiful campus of NIT Durgapur/Calicut. That
is the end of happy story.
I called up the Tata Indicom to enquire if there a upgrade path for
old users/customers to somehow move to these super fast new USB
devices and plans also known as "Photon". They said nopes, the only
way is to chuck the old one ( no refunds of course ) and buy a new
connection from scratch, thusly pay installation fees of INR 3500 for
the new device or such. The dude told me to contact the Nodal Officer
Sugna Shetty ( 022 65102309 ) if I wanted to complain about this.
Cheers!

FYI, Tata Indicom CDMA USB modem (the post Photon version) is totally
useless in sector 14 Vashi where I stay now.
Tata Indicom support staff (Vashi) tell me "Sector 14 mein
'feasibility' nahi hai saar".
Reliance and Tata Indicom have now come out with USB
modems that provide
broadband speeds theoretically upto 3.1 Mbps in major cities with
National low speed roaming in other areas. A client of mine told me that
his friend uses a Reliance one and clocked upto 1.5 Mbps on it.
Do you have links to these plans? Thanks in advance. From day one, Tata Indicom has been giving me huge
packet losses in
Mankhurd ( 70% to 90%).
I feel cheated by Tata Indicom's wireless internet service and would
not recommend it to any user.
