MTNL 3G: Slow Speed Problem

[vidyut]

get a high quality extension usb cable preferably 5 metres and hang it near the window or balcony. this is what i do to get good signal and speed. with -85 to -87dBm signal quality you will face slow speed and frequent disconnections.

i have wired.. i was trying to go wireless with a 3 g wifi router.. but the speeds suck
btw.. how much is good.. in dbm strength ?

-85dBm is decent signal and doesn't warrant disconnections. I get around -83dBm at home and speeds are around 2-2.2mbit.

Though, using an extension cable is a good idea.

@OP
Lower the absolute value, the better. -51dBm is the max signal you can get.

-51 dbm is like sitting under a tower..i remember when i used to live below a tower,i had a -60dbm!!
Ahh Golden Days!!
