Reliance netconnect “broadband” service in Kerala
January 26th, 2007
Reliance offers broadband service (if you can call 144kbps service as broadband service!) through its mobile network called netconnect. Two devices(USB and PCI) are available in the market for about Rs. 4500. The USB device is the best!
This device also has a phone number, hence you can make or receive calls when the device is connected to the laptop. The schemes are costly (Rs. 400+ per month depending on scheme) considering that it offers only 144kbps. Also you may not even get 144kbps if the signal is low. But what makes it irresistable is the fact that it can be used anywhere in Kerala! Hence I can access internet in train, bus or even in dense jungles of Idukki district. 
So guys, get it if you have money and if you are on the move most of the time. I used to hate long train travels, but not any more!

Beware of Reliance Infocomm. They have their own mwthods of duping the customers to build up their coffers. To know the full details of how they cheated me, please refer to the undermentioned link. By the way, I have decided to offer my brand new reliance handsets free of cost, as I dont want to be in the subscription list of swindlers. Any takers?

I also have very bad experience with Reliance Netconnect
- Their customer care(is substandard, opportunistic and plain useless)
- Reliance outlets(Webworld) is also uselss and unhelpful and all the more does not beleive in the concept of customer satisfaction
And (as you mentioned), please do not call this broadband. The speeds are lower than mediocre (in single digit kbps 3-4 kbps)
If you have a choice please dont even think about buying this.

Hopeless!!!
First they billed me under the wrong scheme, and I ended up paying twice the supposed amount.
Then when I approached reliance webworld (Kottayam) with a problem of not getting connected to the internet with my netconnect, they ask me to go their service centre in Ernakulam (more than 80 kms away). Then why the hell do they have a webworld there? Only to accept the payments??
