Wimax in Bangalore

I had been reading and hearing about WiMax deployment in Bangalore. Starting with announcements from the state-run BSNL and Sify providing WiMax services to corporates there was no concrete info neither was there any visibility.

I then came across this blog where the author gives pretty detailed info about how to go about getting WiMax Broadband from Reliance.

The interesting (sad) bit is that the speeds are 150kbps or 300kbps and in my book does not qualify for the status of "Broadband" when BSNL itself is offering 2mbps wired connections.

I am also wary of trusting Reliance. Even today Reliance does not mention WiMax as one of its Services, so I guess we are no better off than before.

Cheers!
