This review is of BSNL’s CDMA EV-DO (2.4 Mbps) from Coimbatore!

On 30th January 2008 – I have got the EVDO connection, Initially I was in trouble to connect to the drivers on my Vista OS, with the help of BSNL officials at Saibabacolony exchange(COimbatore) I was able to solve the problems. At that time I exchanged my views of BSNL and they mentioned some of the future plans of BSNL.

Key Points

- Till date they have given 150 connections at Coimbatore within a month. So people are ready to experiment the new concepts in telecommunication. They said the response is good.

- BSNL engineers said they are not sure about the capacity of each tower(ie- simultaneous connection from the tower). So if they get complaints they will stop giving the new connection.

- Coimbatore BSNL gets the internet bandwidth from Madurai BSNL.

- Some EVDO people asking the official about why they are not getting connection even they are far from tower (7-8 kms) so the people are not aware of the coverage area

- All the Vista OS people having the driver problem and BSNL officials are solving it by asking the people to come to the Exchange with the laptop. So if anybody has Desktop with Vista – they will be in trouble.

- The main point is:
They are going to install EVDO facility to another 15 towers within 4-5 months.(Now only 2 towers are having this facility). So we will get the EVDO all over India soon.

Coverage

- When I connect the net through EVDO at first time, I was able to get the yellow signal only (ie – CDMA coverage) then within 20 minutes I was able to get the EVDO coverage.

- On 30th January evening at around 9PM I was able to get a high speed around 1 Mbps. Normally I am able to get around 300 to 800 kbps speed.

- I was able to talk with one of my cousin who is in US through Skype along with good quality of video.
