I visited to one of the local exchange at Saravanampatti, Coimbatore to enquire about the EV-DO. At that time BSNL officials testing the EV-DO coverage. Actually in Coimbatore - they have installed EV-DO in 2 towers(Race course and Ganapathy). And it started function from yesterday (16-Jan-2008)

My place is near to Ganapathy (6-7 kms by road)- so they had checking the signals . In saravanmpatty they are not able to get the EV-DO signal, but they are able to receive the 144 kbps. So they plan to increase the height of the instrument at the tower.

They suggest me to wait for another week - so that they can check the signal strengths fully.

From their view- they are able to get the signal from 800-900 kbps on EV-DO on different areas within the coverage.

Also the cost for the connection is Rs 550 per month and the device rent is 200. So it comes 750 rs per month + tax.

They are treating me well :)

I am a new user of evdo at Karumbukkadai, cbe. Here I am getting too low coverage about 63 kbps to 100 kbps. Sometimes it gets disconnected. If I connect that at the same time, it won’t connect. failed username/passed problem exit. will it be clear. is there any other method to get the coverage.
