The company has launched the dongle in Mumbai, Rest of Maharashtra & Goa and the service is offered on its CDMA network, which is considered to have seen less traction in the country. "For the first time ever in the industry, Tata Docomo Photon Max will offer lifetime validity to its pre-paid customers," Gupta said. Indian population, which seems to be constantly craving for better speeds, is going to give this new hi-speed mobile broadband a definite try. Tata Docomo Photon Max has a simply plug-n-play integration to quickly get started with. Speaking at the launch, Aditya Gupta said, "Today’s increasing demand for powerful and faster networks continues to inspire us to continually upgrade our network and service offerings and maintain our technological strength. This launch will further redefine the way customers experience fast internet, as it underlines the technological superiority of mobile broadband technology, which has become a rage amongst Internet-users everywhere."

Though we all know that the actual internet speed always depends on multiple factors like time of the day, number of simultaneous users, web page accessed etc. we have got high hopes from this particular mobile broadband service.

    "monthly Rental of Rs. 1000, you get a Bundled Usage of 3 GB with a Validity of 30 days". It is way too much costly. Airtel offers 15GB data in 1449 rental with much better speed..

    Just thought of sharing the below, in continuation to the specifications posted in the above thread:

    The Tata Photon Max aims at providing speedier, dependable connectivity and is driven by a Qualcomm Gobi chipset that flaunts a dual processor technology. Tata Photon Max targets to offer a multimedia-rich know-how side by side, along with over 6.2 Mbps. The Qualcomm Gobi chipset offers a one of its kind competence to send and receive signals from two diversified carriers at the same time, thereby conveying loftier modem speeds.

    Well speed is okayish But are you sure that tata can assure 100% connectivity in highly populated metros

    I really doubt this

    The more denser the population the lesser the tower strength and this becomes a nuisance to all the pocket internet users all around Chennai

    10 GB data usage at speed of 6.2 Mbps & after threshold 153.6 Kbps ? seriously ? Atleast keep 1 Mbps of data transfer rate after limit's been reached.

    Anyways, this plan is good for the people who need internet connection while travelling, but for home users, No plans can beat BSNL & MTNL plans, period!
