Hi,
Has anybody use the Reliance WiMax (Broadnet) services? I am
more interested in their services in Mumbai. Good, Bad, Ugly?
Apparently they install separate antenna for each connection. The size
of this is as big as a laptop monitor or such, thats what the
marketing exec told me.
What I want to know is - 1) compatibility with Linux Boxes
2) does it work during the rainy season? Considering that rains in
Mumbai or Panvel is slightly on the extreme side ;), does it work fine
during the rainy season? I guess the same applies to the DTH setup
even.
Only reason, I am thinking its worth a try is because I won't
have to depend on availabilty of power and such because I will be
responsible to provide power to the setup which I can in case of load
shedding as well. Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

i am using this service since 6 months. unlimited 300kbps for approx
1k p/m . have got 340k thruput at times.
the point of entry device
provides lan interface. you need to do browser authentication.
so
any os works. i use it with wireless router and a bunch of other
devices.
about power the point of entry device requires power supply
but that is at end point not near the disc.
dunno about rain etc yet.
