Wireless Utopia

In fact I spoke to this people. This sound funny. Currently they do not provide the City wide roaming. What they told that they will put a microwave antenna (You can imagine how bad micro wave antennas for health... If you do not know, let me tell you it bad... very bad) at your Balcony and you can get one wire in to your house to get internet. This is not WiMAX.... Only difference is it can have better speed in comp to 1X CDMA data card or GSM Data card. Nothing else....

hey dude - I am gonna try it out :-)!

Hi
Wimax is now available in Bangalore. And yes, this is not mobile and the reason for this the technology is still not available in mass...

So one of the best idea of using Wireless Broadband is to give broadband to people who are in non-feasible area and using dial-up internet connection.

For more information, pls mail to mktg.reliance@gmail.com

Cheers

I am a Reliance WiMax user from Pune. The speed is really very good but the service is pathetic. As with all the Reliance services; the actual "Reliance" is seemingly nowhere involved. Everything is outsourced and the so-called channel-partners have no technical knowledge. So, think twice before opting for the service

Hi I'm from Pune and recently got subscribed to Reliance Wimax service, the speed is really good but the service is really pathetic. The installation was done after a long delay and the technical team was incapable of handling Windows Vista and this caused further delay. The first week after instaalation I wasn't able to connect to internet and the technical team didn't respond to my calls and finally after a week I got the response that there server in Mumbai had some problems and this was after I threatened to terminate there service and go for alternative one. Right now I'm getting a download speed of around 60 to 100 kbps which is damn good and you can enjoy movies online without any delay. I hope Reliance improves there customer service, this would be the best in broadband

Hi, I have recently moved to Pune and palnning to opt for Relaicne Wimax serivce, tho I am not sure about the services but the only thing that is promtping me to take it low installation cost, incase I dont like it I can change it with out a second thought.
I will keep you updated once I get the connection

Currently Wimax is in its second phase of deployment which offers fixed and nomadic services. Although some developed countries already deployed mobility features for it.

In Pune,one service provider,Reliance, already rolled-out its Wimax services but as i read the thread of its subscribers, it seem that it is not yet ready in terms of technical support because they lack knowledge and duno what they were doing if costumers seek their assistance.

I am not against this ISP but as a customer,we have the right to be helped if we need their assistance. How can we subscribed to Reliance if they cant helped us at all cost in times of trouble with their services.

They should improve their services first before they gain the trust of their customers!!

I've a 2mbps wimax connection from reliance @ bangalore. As far as it is working, I'm extremely happy with the speed. Generally get around 1.5mbps. But once you have a problem, 'reliance' is the last word that the support team can offer. Nobody is trained on solving basic problems over a phone call.
all they are is 'extremely sorry for the inconvenience'
Great technology with poor customer service does not make a great pair.

I have taken a Reliance Wi-Max connection last month, in the last 30 days it has worked only for 10 days, that too for few hours, customer care Sucks, bunch of illeterate monkeys. it has tarted working now after doing a regular follow up with the technical guys, they keep on changing the Antennas directiob, without any good results, people think twice before opting for the service, keep it as the last option.....

I just got a wimax connection @ BLR.The powers that be @ my layout are very fond of bsnl and have ensured a monopoly by ensuring no other service provider is allowed in the layout.So I got tired of bsnl promising upto 2 gig(only 364 kbs in reality).having heard the scary stuff I am going to keep bsnl for some time.

Hi
I wish to subscribe to the Reliance Wi-Max service in Pune. Any pointers as to whom shall I contact would be useful
TIA.

For Pune:

tel no. 32314615
mob no. 9270422002

A person called Sharma with an office in Baner can help. He's a Reliance agent.

Beware of Infospace Technologies
(distributors of Reliance Wimax)
I bought a Reliance Wimax connection from these guys. They promised me a connection in 2 weeks after collecting money from me, but were unable to do so saying there was no tower near my house in BTM Layout, Bangalore. However I ahve been asking them for a refund and they are not paying up!!! So guys please do not pay any money to these people in advance and get cheated.

Here are two more numbers for Bangalore:
98867 98895 & 99800 62800.
I liked the plans that they have
Unlimited plans:
150 kbps - 750
300 kbps - 999
600 kbps - 1799

Limited plan:
2Mbps - 750 (limit of 2 gb)

Well I've applied for a Reliance WiMax connection 3 weeks ago. I still dont have any info about it. Noone called me UP. The outsourced firm called RELIABLE Connections is really pathetic when it comes to following up

so hows does wimax really work? is it like wireless internet all over you city?

hii guys,

i am living in blr .. plannin to take up this wim max service.. if u guys tell me more abt this service then i can decide and go for it.. since in my area only sify and reliance broadband service is only availiable..how is the speend if i go in for 2 mbps for 4 gb download limit in wimax..

I am in Bangalore, Electronic City Area .. got the Reliance Wimax installed yesterday after a long delay..
actually i paid the installation charges around 5 weeks back..and no response ... The thing is that Reliance outsources most of these things to third parties..in this case some 'Incite Tech' was involved.. So, I wrote a strong mail..and then the next day the installation guys showed up..
But the wait was worth it...the speed is amazing..I have downloaded 2 movies till now..within 24 hrs..and my download counter is ticking..But yes..the only issue is mobility..but lets wait for that as of now.

Hi... i applied for reliance wimax 2 weeks ago in b'lore, amount has been debited from my account, but still no response from them. Can u pls give me customer care number for blore.. the person who collected documents is not recieving my call.

Their billing sucks even more .. .

I have written about it on my blog here

Please be very sure before taking this connection

Hey sudipta, Microwave radiation is only as bad as your cellphone. No radiation is good or Bad, it is the power output that makes it Bad. And no, this is not the kind of KWs of power like your microwave oven or the Large Microwave towers used for Telephone exchange connectivity. WiMax is not really mobile in the true sense. You should be able to take it to a different location and set it up like the Satellite DISH. Currently ISP's provide a WiMax-Wi-Fi combination to provide true mobility. You will have issues with Line of sight etc. with Wimax, but once operational, it should be OK. I agree with everyone on the Sick reliance service.

I am another victim of Reliance Wimax.Aplied for the connection more 1.5 months back and got it finally last Friday after a lot of calls made to the dealer (during one call they said the customer requested for a cancellation so not done the installation).the speed was poor (2 Mbps /4GB was my scheme) ,it just disconnect in between downloads making me to redownload it again.but from Monday onwards the connection got completely stopped. I lodged the complaint on last monday and was given a complaint no:.I called on Wednesday again as no one shown up.Then I was told that my call is found closed in their system(!),and given a fresh no:.again on Thursday when called another promise that on Friday somebody will make it.On Friday evening I called again and I insisted the call to be escalated and wanted to talk to the manager.After holding for 20 minuets somebody else pick the call and I got the same promise again that some body will attend it soon. Now I have given them time till tomorrow noon and if nobody shown up,I will terminate the connection. I have the airtel pillar in front of my house but patient for the wimax connection because I wanted to encourage the new technologies. I expected some technical difficulty as this is a new system but expected that somebody will take care of it too.But now I feel ,I shouldn’t have opt for it.

I want to try that out for sure. I just got wifi from this company thats cheap and reliable. If anyone is interested check the site out: www.t1-t3-dsl.com

hi guys,
I am from Bangalore. I took the wimax connection from reliance. The service is pathetic.
Please don't go with the Reliance Wimax connection.
There DHCP server will be down some twice or thrice in a week (I have experienced it). Apart from this, there is some serious problem with their instrument (indoor). If you call their customer care, they will give you a call report number. There after you keep on calling them. Every time they will say the same thing, "We will look into the matter".
I am tasting the same thing for last 4 days and no action has been taken.
So guys, I will advice every body "NOT TO GO WITH RELIANCE " .

Hi , I suggest you please don’t ever go for Reliance Wimax Connection. I applied for the connection one and half months before. After spending so many hours shouting at the Reliance people they finally got the connection done four days ago. But what connection Man?? I dint get the experience of so called Wimax till now.
I called up the customer Service and then the same thing continues!! Reliance Customer Service SUCKS!!!

So guys please be aware of this connection.

I got my WiMax connection two months back and when it works its really good.
for the most part the speeds been around the 600 kbps range but the last few days i'm only getting about 150 kbps.
besides this like others mentioned they've got terrible customer service. i'm just glad i understand the service and can fix most issues but my parents have a really tough time getting it to work if its down.
also getting it to work on all my computers at home using wifi and wired (through a router) was a bit of a problem at first but its working properly now (i've set my routers physical address to my computers address).
i'm all for this connection but reliance really needs to make it more reliable and improve the customer service. A smaller indoor wimax router wouldn't hurt either :)

I am the victim of Reliance WiMax in Pune. I was overjoyed when I saw the deal of small install time and no wiring hassals with moderate install cost. But soon it turned into nightmare since the uptime was hardly 20 %. They have serious problem with tower signal strength and the connection is higly sensitive to antenna orientation. So it hardly worked for me. My patience finally ran out and I threw them out one day. Their customer service sucks big time and there is big disconnect between guys who sit in central call center and franchisee in your place who hardly care for the customer. Its a very good example of good technology going waste due to bad implementation. Man.. Reliance has some serious problem of unreliability in everything they do these days.. they know how to lure customer.. bribe politicians and flood the market with deals and make tonnes of money.. a classic downside of rapid growth without worrying about fundamentals.
