Can anyone tell me why i am not getting 3G speeds on my tata docomo 2GB/48 rs plan ? I am getting full 3.5G signal on my phone and my phone is in UMTS mode.
I know that the plan i am in is not for 3G but for normal GPRS/EDGE but since many people reported that they are getting 3G speeds on this, i thought why i am not getting it :S
Anyone in Pune (Aundh area specifically) report what speed do they get with 3.5G network ?

@raksrules what speeds are you getting? I get constant speeds of 128kbps with the same plan. Check on http://dslreports.com/mspeed

^^ If you mean small b then you are right because i just read on some other forum that docomo has restricted the speed to 128 kbps (yes small b) for people subscribed to normal 2G GPRS plans and use the phone in UMTS/WCDMA/3G/3.5G Mode 
I kept a direct download on and max i got was like 128-131kbps only
PS: Yes all are small b and not B

Fastest i have seen is 1.2 MBps in IDM (Transfer rate) while troubleshooting a friend's laptop in the US!

Ya, even I can see the 3.5G symbol in my phone but I'm getting EDGE speeds in reality coz I've recharged it for Rs. 48. Don't except 3G speed on EDGE plan!raksrules said:

The SMS sent by Docomo says " If you are already on a 2G GPRS plan then speeds upto 128kbps will apply!
@raksrules yes I meant small b. But even then, for Rs. 48 it is a steal compared to what we have been getting up till now from Airtel / Vodafone. There speeds are 120-150 Kbps only in the wee hours of the morning. So, having constant 128Kbps on mobile for just 48 bucks is not bad at all. Atleast for now.
@junk_qwe tata docomo gives 250MB at 3G speeds for first time users iirc. Check once the first 250MB are over. I stay in Bangalore and I get 128Kbps.

I think docomo and BSNL are pushing hard to make me believe that my Nokia 5230 is NOT 3G enabled. I know i am acting weird but with what is happening with me i feel so
I sent the SMS FLY to 53333 to avail the tata docomo 250MB trial at 3G speeds and i get return message saying
Similar thing had happened with BSNL when i contacted them about 3G speed issues and they told that my phone is not 3G enabled :-[

In addition to that, with my phone in Dual mode i am getting max 128kbps (+-10%) but the positive thing at least for my case is that, i am ok with constant 128kbps rather than getting really up and down speeds in normal GSM mode.

TATA DOCOMO 2G speed really sucks.
I have recharge with Rs. 48 for 2GB.
