3G is 3 times faster




BSNL 3G on my phone finally showed some signs of life. Praneeth got an Idea modem with Bsnl sim and I wanted to see if it can work in 3G mode on my phone. Only change I had to make was to change my APN to bsnlnet and not gprs3gnorth as specified on various online blogs. It not only worked in first shot, we were able to download some videos as well at a consistent 30KBps speed with 70KBps spikes now and then. To test the performance we downloaded the speed test app which showed a maximum download rate of 200kbps. This is cool. As claimed by Praneeth the connection is unlimited downloaded at Rs. 250 per month.
With EDGE I usually get 10KBps so 3G is definitely 3 times faster and it can download videos. .... Amazing !!
