EVDO Connection Problems Troubleshooting

If your are having problems connecting to EVDO network or accesing internet, try the steps given below:

Technical details of BSNL EVDO service

In BSNL EVDO service you don't get a public IP. You will get a static shared IP.
Typically there is no problem with this but it will create problems except in cases
where public IP is important.
For eg: Rapidshare has a download limit per IP. Since you are sharing same IP
with a lot of other EVDO users, you may not be able to download from Rapidshare.
Currently there are limited EVDO connections but if the EDVO connections are
increased BSNL will allow public IP.

Tips for speeding up your EVDO connection

Sometimes the EVDO connection speed will be slow.This may happen for different reasons.
First: There could be weak signal in your area
Second: There maynot be EVDO coverage in your BSNL network antenna.
Third: Also if there are too many customers connecting to a specific BSNL network antenna.

TO overcome this,experiment positioning the card at different places.
Also turn the antenna and see whether signal strength improves.
