1. Reliance Broadband+ Device is plug and play. No CD is required for installation. The device automatically Installs.
2. You can call 30335555 (Prefix Your Local STD Code) to request for a Demo or visit Reliance Netconnect
3. On an average you get 400-500 mbps download speed
4. Device can be used in all the major airports, Hotels & more importantly while driving to office... it can be used almost anywhere
5. Amazing connectivity and great speeds. Office mail access (Lotus Notes Full Client Access) is as smooth as it is on the office LAN
6. Great tariff plans. Rs. 1099 for 10GB download with City Wide Roaming, Rs. 1750 for 10 GB with All India Roaming

I stay in Pai Layout, Bangalore. I am getting average speeds around 500-600 kbps. but it frequently disconnects and goes to 1x mode automatically and again after some time it switches back to HSD mode. this is not good though I am happy about speeds.

Here are my speed test results using Reliance Netconnect+

As expected with in couple of months speed came down to half of what I used to get when I took the connection.

thats what is Reliance ..India's Most (Un)Trusted Brand..

Absolutely useless service in Mumbai. They advertise 3.1 Mbps speed - the highest I have ever got is 1.5 Mbps - more often its 500 to 600 Kbps. Also frequent disconnects and fallback to low (CDMA 1X) speeds.Also innumerable mistakes in monthly bills with charges for services (such as VPN) never subscribed to.Just like Reliance Energy, another rip-off from the Reliance stable.

Hi everyone, I had been using reliance netconnect for abt 2 months. My views:

- 'Hybrid' connection ie., the speed change automatically according to the time/availability etc. It was a pain, as the frequent change in speed (very frequent for me) causes disruption if you are downloading a file directly from a site such as link-removed etc. I didn't get the 3.1 mb (effective dload speed is only 1/8th of it) all the time, say for only abt 1/3rd of the time.
- The 'unlimited' plan is NOT so. It has a 10 gb limit (both upload and download)
- The Reliance Netconnect website opens up everytime you connect and EVERYTIME THE CONNECTION CHANGES SPEEDS such as 1x, 2x, hsd. It happens frequently and it's very annoying and also eats up a few kbs everytime.
- You have to buy the modem outright, no rental. It sets you back by 3500 BUCKS. And you can't return it if you plan to cancel your connection
- Only plan on getting the 1gb plan if you use it just to check your mail and visit a few sites, because you will have used up your limit before the month ends, and each mb above the limit is RS.2 PER MB (for landline broadband, it is Rs.0.60 per mb only)
- Even the 10 gb plan (so called 'unlimited') will be over in a jiffy if you download a lot and are not careful. If you use torrents BEWARE as you would have uploaded as much as you download
- They have a credit limit for each person, so if you reach it before the month ends, your connection will be disconnected abruptly and be restored only if you settle the outstanding balance

In my opinion, landline broadband with wifi are the best. If you absolutely need internet for your laptop on the go and have a lot of cash, go for wireless internet.

The speed is great.Whre do u live and how far is ur home from reliance tower.
I am facing very slow speed problem of around 0.3-0.4mbps at 10-11pm:ishock: :ishock: :ishock:.
I have activated my datacard on 30th july but since then ihave even never got speed of 2mbps .
https://www.speedtest.net
This is the speed what i get at 5am which should be around 2-2.5mbps.
The signal strength is full at my location.
I have complained abt this to customer care but they have not responded yet and just have given me a complaint number.
Guide me how to get high speeds.

i have bought it and its true, guys believe it.download speed goes upto 300kbps..that mean i can download a 10mb file in under a minute..just keep a track of how much you download...also the dialer shows exactly how much u have used..the minimum ull get is 0.5mbps and max is 3.1mbps..i am constantly getting between 1-2mbps while surfing... be sure u get full reliance network where u r and depending on the network ur speeds may vary...be sure to get a 1gb plan minimum otherwise u'll end up paying alot...the maximum is10gb as per fair usage in the unlimited plan 1099.. but from may they have a addon pack so ull get 10gb in the night plus the additional day time usage...so if u subscribe for the 5gb plan + the addon ull get 15gb a month for rs.1300 per month.also the upload usage will be substracted from the allowed monthly usage..
the Huawei usb modem cost is 3500.. but worth it for 3.1mbps wireless..have not been disconnected so far as many times i have used..:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
