where is the link to the petition? I'm not seeing it.By the way I would expect the petition to provide correct technical reasons:1. Available spectrum which is unused by operators2. Backend network support.However, I feel that 2G- EDGE techonology uses so much spectrum. Take an example. My phone has class 32 EGPRS modem that can make 5X59.4kbps connections=296kbps bandwidth (bandwidth!=speed). So 5 time slots occupied that could have been used for servicing voice calls for 5 customers. So if there is a spectrum shortage, the operators will lose out customers and revenue. Lets take a look at Airtel's 1GB plan at Rs.98. If you download 1GB at full throttle at 296kbps, you'd finish the downloading it in 7 hours 52 seconds. Which means airtel will have to keep 5 time slots engaged for 7:52 hours. If airtel gives that spectrum to 5 voice call customers during that time @50p/min call, then they can generate Rs.236 (=7:52 hours X 0.5 Rs/min). So basically GPRS is less profitable for airtel. Imagine the same for tata docomo's [email protected] plan. May be government of India should give more spectrum for use commercially (if available?)

If you both have ever used mobile internet. You will know that if you do 2G recharge you will get slower speeds even if you are connected to a 3G network.

Seriously? What's your point? I actually skipped using 2G my whole life. It was not ready for me :D. You deserve to get the speed based on your recharge plan. Every operator has this policy. I don't see anything wrong with it. If you want fast speeds, don't expect them on 2G network. Get a capable 3G handset. (Hint: dozens of El. Chepo android phones are flooding the market) Recharge using a suitable 3G plan and get on with your life.

Don't take this in a negative way. :D
 
Ye to wahi bat ho gai : 1080p ke zamane mein VCD kharidna.

what would you do if the content you want to see is only available on a VCD?
 
I am asking to CHANGE the way 2G plans are offered in the market.



So, You think filling information and providing them your details will make changes in 2G Policies which is already wading through mud of scams.

If you do a 2G recharge and connect to 3G network on for example airtel they will CAP your speeds to 64 Kbps. But they should give at least 296 Kbps speeds.



So, whats wrong in that. Are yoy expecting 3G speed in 2G recharge of Rs 99.

Many of us especially in tier 3 small towns need better mobile internet speeds so that we don't depend on bsnl wireline connection for everyday internet.


That can be a valid point but as users are high , so speed is further reduced as compared to Metro and Cat A cities.

I am not asking to abandon 3G. I am asking to give better speeds under 2G plans.

I think you should sign the petition as it has real benefit for everyone.

I appreciate your intention but the way you are doing will help in no way. The website link you posted is nothing more than a new database collection site. And they are promoting their website by using all these tricks.
