Reliance maybe the first to launch WiMax Broadband for consumers in Bangalore, but had some issues and coverage was limited. Tata Communications [erstwhile VSNL] has launched “Limited Edition Special Offer” Indicom Wimax Broadband in Bangalore. [Yes that’s right, the official launch and branding are still in pipeline].
Tata Communications WiMax Infrastructure in Bangalore:
Unlike Reliance Communications, which kicked off with less than 50 WiMax towers, Tata Communications debut will be with over 120 WiMax towers linking corners of “Namma Bengalooru” 🙂 I had read a lot about DHCP issues with Reliance. It is told that, the problem was with their server being unable to handle too many requests when the connections were reset, mostly when new towers were added [some kind of system reset was done]. Tata Indicom has been extremely cautious about it.
Tata Communications – Indicom WiMax Broadband Plans and Offer:
In this limited edition special offer, [I am not sure when it ends, but is likely to run atleast till Dec-31st] consumers can choose from Pre-Paid or Post-Paid plans. More details on plans available on broadband forum.
One of the other things I am really particular is customer support. Tata Communications call center will handle all support related issues. You may contact the following numbers to establish your connection – 99805 46805 / 98867 67690 / 93433 78853. So Bangaloreans, lets goBroabandddd 😉

Tata Wimax service in Bangalore is bullshit.. there are lot of problems.. frequent discunnection, the uplink not work at all.. so you cannot send a mail, upload anything to internet.
their customer care is pathetic, even we log a complaint, without resoving the issue they will close the complaint.
logging the complanit itself will cost you a lot, tey’ll put you in hold for a long time, since they dont have any toll free number, like reliance. so one must have a tata phone also to reduce the cost to contat customer care.
as the initial offer they are giving an additional 3 months validity, but this never was the case, my connection is almost one month old.. still the validity is only for 3 months, when contacted they keep on saying excuses, and said have to wait till the 3 validity to be over to get the bonus 3 months validity added.. I’m not sure I’ll really get this BONUS…
last but not the least, I lost lot of money by calling them for installation, customer care, and following them up… 🙁 may more than the installation charge.
Hi ,
i have already applied for wimax tata broadband.It was almost 14 days gone but not yt installed. i need router for wimax as i will be working on VPN clint. Isthat possible theu wimax.
i just want to contact sunil…basing on the fedback. Let me see how many days will it take the installation.
Sunil, plz do me a favour in getting the installation finished asap as it is affecting my work & time.
Can i have an router or modem for wimax tata connection. I need them as i cant configure ip in my system.plz answer me asap
pls give me ur contact number and user id to 9243108958
Two days back some junior engineers came and installed the piece ..They were not getting IP address so they went off without activating–SINCe PAST TWO days i am calling ..what they tell me SEREVER is down for past two days and is not registering new clients hence they cannot activate–IS THIS THE KIND OF SERVERS TATA INDICOM used –god knows what service i can expect
Even thou Wimax connection works in my premises, I face the problem of frequent cut off.. and sometimes if it cuts off.. it takes hours again to get back the connection. When contacted the customer service, they have sent one service engineer. When he came, the connection was proper… and they told the reason like, there may be some problem with authentication of my user ID in the base station. They told soon they wil rectify this problem..
I understand that since this is the initial roll out phase of WIMAX, a lot of unexpected problems are coming. But I would like to tell them that, they should act fast to set them all right to avoid controversies..
Hey,
Will wimax(tata) broadband provides router along with the connection. As i cant configure ip in my system.
Have any body tried Reliance Wimax???
TAriff’s are far far competive that others and services also best some other service providers dont install the Wimax instrument above 30 feet Reliance does it any where, reliance says most of the time every individual subscriber will get 60% to 70% of subscribed speed……
