Hi,

I purchased a Huawei E355 device and used Airtel Prepaid Simcard to check the 3g data speed. I recharged for 45 Rs. - 180 MB 3g data.

I used for just 10 minutes, just searching a topic in Google the data balance went down to 30 mb from 180 mb. then in next couple of minutes all data were spent. Even-though I have disabled my Antivirus Auto Update, Windows Update and all other background internet accessing services the internet usage in 10 minutes has consumed 180 MB. I couldn't understand this, Is everyone facing the issue like this?

I had recharged twice to check this and it happened the same.. Could someone help me out on this..

Been fine for me over the past year.

Get this checked by their customer care as this seems very strange.

I called customer care and they said I have utilized it. Do you do something particularly to avoid data usage in background applications? Or how do i find it out.

Which Data provider are you using? Airtel or Aircel etc..

I use AIRtel only mate.

What i would recommend you is, check with a smartphone and whether it is consuming data at a similar pace.
The aim of this exercise would be to find if they have any fault in its service.
You can also download a data counter on the lappy where you are using this device.


I mostly use it with my smartphone and tether it only once a week when the inevitable net disconnection happens.
