Tata DOCOMO Photon Max WiFi Data Card Review
[Update]
-----------------
5 Oct: I have been using this WiFi dongle and don't have positive experience. It almost never auto-connects. The network signal keeps fluctuating between 2-3 bars. I have to place it in a window to get decent signal of steady 3 bars. And I can do so since I have a power bank into which I plug this thing.
The utility of this is good since you get WiFi for upto 5 devices. But the experience is crappy.
Well, I guess I'll use it for a year so that I feel like my money is not total waste. Then I'll ditch it for sure.
-----------------
Since I moved to new place which was six months ago, I have been surviving on need basis small internet packs. They worked fine for things like paying electricity bills, checking mails and occasional browsing. But with three internet devices( two smartphones and one laptop) and two concurrent users (me n wife), I had to get some kind of better solution.
First I thought I would be able to get cable broadband, but local cable provider turned out lazier than ever and after a fortnight of follow-up I gave up on the idiots. So started search for other options. But after numerous calls and hearing a number of NO's I finally decided on getting a data card. -----------------

This is CDMA solution with Rev B giving about 6-8Mbps speeds (if you are lucky and get good range, otherwise it's CDMA Rev A 153kbps speeds.)
Plus I invested INR1999/- in their Wi-Fi data card. I know it sucks but it's not a loss till I get reliable connectivity. Also one good point of this particular data card is it's roaming free. So if I get out then I could take it with me and still enjoy decent speeds.
I'll update this review as and when possible.
