Unethical Practice by Reliance GSM
By- Anushka Shrivastava
After spending some valuable years , Indian
telecom market is now moving out from its early immatureness. Now our opera
mini usage is reached as high as the world’s 2nd largest.
The demand for data is increasing day by day. We
already tested lighting fast speed from our 3G operators considering high
tariffs. Next, the hype of 4G LTE makes our fingers crossed towards affordable
stable wireless broadband in the near future.
Our CDMA EVDO players are continuing
themselves with their EVDO Rev B network upgradation. The data market is no doubt
booming. But still, now there is now some backlogging from our own national
operator Reliance GSM. We found them with some unethical stuff that matters to
us.
Recently , we noticed that Reliance GSM is
capping GPRS speed within 64 Kbps if you will recharge with their GPRS packs
specially Rs.99 pack which indented to provide 6GB GPRS/EDGE data for 30
days. Facing some choking data transferring we confirm this matter by a small
size application named MDMA (Mobile Data Monitoring Application).
Here is a screenshot:
From the above screenshot is taken where there is a working EDGE enabled the network which is supposed to deliver an average speed of 236.8 Kbps but Reliance capped this on 64kbps which
is no doubt it is really slow on a 2G network. This condition also occurs when your
3G enabled mobile/data card is on Automatic mode and you started connecting
internet under a 3G network which is caught on your mobile/data card when there
is no 2G signal. Then n there your speed will be capped at 64 kbps. After that
you will have to live with that tortoise speed or that kind of useless speed.
The following screenshot will explain this issue:
Our Take:
If a customer has recharged with 2G GPRS/EDGE
pack, he/she has right to enjoy 2G like speed nothing else. But how can
a customer tolerate this 64kbps speed which is extremely slow network.
Nowadays , if we compare to 2G EDGE to BSNL, Idea Cellular, the, etc provider has come up with a solution they both cap the speed of 2G GRPS/EDGE pack in 3G network at 128/256 Kbps speed so that a customer never faces any problem but they never cap speed in 2G network with 2G tariff.
