Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection Never buy this connection even if they are providing it to you for free.
I brought one flash 256 unlimited plan by paying in advance for one year to gain 4 months extra free keeping in mind of tata/vsnl name & I am regretting it since.
It is not even up to dial up speed. You cannot download a single file after multiple attempts.Download file speed will be below 1 kb or below per second.
They are charging Rs.350/- per month extra for 1.5mbps speed whereas the actual speed will be less than 256 kbps .
On the top of it they accept their poor service but refuse to either refund your money or give desired connectivity for which you have paid.
Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection here is my experience so far
bs4 3369000 3000 OPER 00:1B:20:01:04:35 -55.00 21.00 9.99
Been using tata wimax for 6 months, from the past 1 week, the upload speeds went down drastically, i am getting less than 3KBps upload speed during business hours. and i am supposed to get 32KBps upload speed. bangalore wimax towers are getting congested too much. I get connected to bs4 on normal days as it gives best signal. when i get slow upload speeds, i manually make it connect to bs3, where the speeds are good.
from last 4 days i m trying to get Tata CC to get my antenna oriented towards bs3 tower so that i can get good signal from bs3 and good speeds all the time. current issue with bs3 is it gives little low signal to me, i think i can get better signal from it, if antenna is oriented towards it
Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection @sarafgovind
Thanks for your input.I didn't install it finally.Their engnieers came to my home and when tested ,found out signal link was weak.They insisted me to try it out for 4 months.I didn't go for it.After hearing all of your experiences,I have to say what a lucky I am.
Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection hi
I am from Delhi
i am frustated with Tata Broadband wimax connection because :
1) dynamic ip - not always on - gotta go to their server page to login every 4-5 hrs [session timeout]
2) auto login option on their page works with static ip plans which they charge around Rs.250-300 more over and above dynamic ipplan charges
3) Torrenting not possible as they have smart software to detect such activity blocking / limiting TCPs connections [they block all torrent ports - no router provided to fwd ports ]
4) installation constitutes 2 boxes [one is BIG box antinna , the other is small one which needs to be turned on 30 min before i can authenticate and connect]
5) the d/l speed is 80-85% of max download speed promised
6) customer care say that if less than 80% of max d/l speed then they 'd register a complaint else no mercy
so given the pts 1-6 above anybody wanting to try Tata Broadband for torrents will be in for a big disappointment!!!! - be warned !
MTNL in Delhi is still the best with "always on - dynamic ip" for torrents [ you have to configure virtual server settings yourself - do not call their tech else there will be troublealthough speed 'd be made better if they want!
update : connection in my area of Tata broadband have been terminated by my neighbors [ same reasons above ]
i guess now they are keeping their connection afloat by providing the connections to their employees , may be giving them for free !
please keep this thread updated for tata BB wimax in Delhi for worst/good experience for everybody's knowledge !

Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection Please do not for Tata Wimax. The engineers called me a few months back to take it. I researched their website and found out that the Unlimited plans are not actually Unlimited. They are Fair Usage Policy-ed..! And torrent ports are blocked. So don't go for this conn.
Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection this is found the hard way after paying them Rs 2500 +Originally Posted by icycool25
they 'd not refund the amount at all - tata broadband is total crap !
Now with MTNL - no isssue viz a viz torrenting [port fwd can be done on router]
But the upload is not what they promise it's max 250kbps - not symmetrical at 512 kbps downlaod speed
so difficult maintaing ratio on 'invitation based' torrent sites!
i configure d/l speed = 360 kbps to have as much upload [360 kbps] on my utorrent client !
looking for a change if better ISP[Tikona - max upload is 256 kbps] is found !

Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection ^ Well thats the reason why I didn't take a Tata Wimax connection. And secondly, when I questioned the engineers so as to why are the plans FUPed, he replied that "it was a rule from TRAI"...!! Whaatttt..? R u kiiding me ? Thank God I am still using my BSNL L conn..!

Re: Feedback on Tata wimax connection What about tikona broadband - in delhi they have started providing services
1) is there connection really " always on" ?
Or do i have to punch in my id and password in their dialer every 4-5 hrs?
2) What about "torrents" - do they block torrent ports ?
3) Also what about the speed they promise - do they actually provide it ?
Please reply anybody who is using the tikona services in Delhi for running "torrents"
Yeah - that's another thing - only a fool will pay 1250+ for just 'browsing" or may be he has a lot of money to spend!!!
