As we promised to keep you updated whenever BSNL expands it’s network, we are now here with a good news to people who live in Nagpur, Maharastra & Panaji, Goa.

BSNL has started its EVDO service in these two cities long ago, but now it has enabled EVDO network (2.4 Mbps Network) from past one months or two.

A member by user name mmmishea from our forum (who was recently promoted moderation squad) has got good experience with EVDO in Nagpur and has posted his speed report over here. So, kindly have a look at it if you are from Nagpur especially.

Thanks to our forum members for updating us in this thread.

If BSNL starts EVDO service (be it CDMA 1x or EVDO), please kindly inform us in that thread which helps others like it does in this post.

The post title may sound bit weird, but it’s pretty true. Using any internet connection in linux is a bliss. You will sure love the stabilty of network connection it offers and the speeds that you gain. There are few people who are using EVDO in windows and are facing many issues like frequent disconnections and low speeds. So using EVDO in linux is a great alternate solution for frustrated windows EVDO users.

If you are a kind of internet user who often use Internet just to check mails, read articles and do other online activities like watching youtube video, blogging or social networking, you will feel a great difference when you start using internet in linux. You won’t miss most of the applications that you use in windows. Linux has got loads and loads of software packages available and all for free. Also you won’t miss the windows, because you can install linux in another partition and have multi-boot with GRUB.

You may feel difficult to get started with using linux, but the massive online community is ready to solve all your problems and will help you to get started. If you are new to linux, I will recommend you to get started with Ubuntu Linux, which is free and very user-friendly. And also setting up EVDO in it takes no more than 10 minutes. Read this thread to know how to configure EVDO in Ubuntu linux and few others. I’m not forcing you to switch to linux, but just suggesting you to do it for the good reason. You will also have a proud feeling of using a free opensource and supporting the community.
