Reliance has recently launched it’s high speed wireless broadband service called Netconnect Broadband Plus in India. Reliance claims that Netconnect Broadband Plus is India’s fastest Internet service. It offers a download speed of around 3.1 Mbps and an upload speed of 1.8 Mbps. Seems pretty decent knowing it’s a wireless service. Netconnect Broadband Plus is available in 35 cities with some 20,000 towns across the country.
The service is powered by the Reliance CDMA network. Currently Reliance is offering two plug and play devices for connectivity. These USB modems are priced at around Rs. 3500. The subscription plans are somewhat flexible and starting from Rs. 299. There are night unlimited packages as well as 24X7 unlimited data transfer packages available as well. Users can buy these USB modems and subscribe to the service from March 17.
Reliance doesn’t carry a very good image as far as providing wireless connectivity is concerned. I have tried out their Netconnect wireless Internet access service and trust me it reminds you of those slow-old dial-up days. Whether Reliance will be able to take off that image entirely is what needs to be seen here. I wouldn’t advise anyone to make the switch as of now. If Reliance manages to pull this one off then it could become one of the best modes of remote connectivity provided the speeds remain decent.

I’m a music lover and download at least 5 to 7 songs everyday. Downloading them takes a lot of time and sometimes I would lose the net connection and I’d have to restart it all over again. So I thought of switching over to some other net connection.So now, I’ve been using the ‘Reliance netconnect Broadband plus’.And I must say the download speed is the best I’ve got so far! It also provides an uplink speed of 1.8mbps. This makes video transferring very easy and exciting.
i am also one of the victim of the reliance netconnect i bought the connection at december and i closed the connection on janauary but he never stopped me sending me bill i went to the reliance world again and again but there was just a consolidated response they say “dont worry” its not a problem we will do it right.
finally i got a notice from court to be present before lokadalath i was shocked then i again went to the reliance world the answer was the same finally i have to pay 3000/ rs without any mistake of mine. there are 1000s of people who daily come to the lok adalath daily all are reliance company victims.
The reliance is the biggest frauds i have paid 3000/ rs without any reason the actual fault was the companies but i was the victim.
how do you think that they have the crores this is the reason. Never go to any reliance postpaid or prepaid products. this is a kind request to all indians never buy these frauds products.
