Can anyone advise on how the connection speeds are for non-EVDO cards? I am planning to take one but wanted to check the speed before taking. Thanks

I think the speed would be the same as BSNL wll.I have WLL connection it gives me download speed of 15KB/s that's half the UL broadband.But you could find hard times downloading from link-removed.

Airtel EDGE, DataOne, Sify
The speed really sucks for USB Data Cards (NON EVDO).It varies from 15 to 18 Kb/s during peak hours and 20 to 25Kb/s during offpeak hours.
