Tata Photon Plus USB modem tariffs and review

by Sriraj on June 27, 2009

Tata has come up with a new Wireless Broadband service called as the Tata Photon Plus (photon +) , which works with a USB modem. It promises a speed of upto 3.1 mbps. But remember that the speed depends on the time of the day, the web page being accessed etc. Also this speed may only be upto their ISP and not the speed that’ll be delivered to you. So better confirm this before you proceed to subscribe.

At present (2009-06-27) this service is only being offered in Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Jaipur, J&K, and a few north eastern states. (See Update below)

The USB modem is only available in a Sale model unlike BSNL where USB modems can also be used under rentals models.

The plans start from as low as Rs.500 per month to Rs.1500 per month apart the from the price of the USB modem which is a one time charge of around Rs.3600.

For the Rs.500 plan, you get a bandwidth (download+upload+browsing) of 0.5 GB per month and for the 1500 plan you get a bandwidth of 15 GB.

You can also pay for what you use with some plans like Use n Pay for which the monthly rental is Rs.250.

Coming to its service quality, don’t get attracted by its eye catching advertisements. It justifies the advertisements strictly in the said cities. So if you live in cities like Mumbai, Bangalore or Hyderabad you may try Photon + as you will get speeds of at least 1mbps in these areas. If you live in other places then don’t expect this Photon + to be any different from your 128kbps dial-up connection. One of my friend, who stays in Guntur (a town in Andhra Pradesh) said that he was getting a download speed of 11-15 kbps almost all the time and also the connection frequently gets interrupted.

So my ratings for Tata Photon + are:

Price: 3/5

Speed: 4/5 (if you are in the service city)

Service: 3.5/5

Want to realize broadband speed of 100mbps? Read Tata Indicom More 4 Sure Offer.

Update: See the latest Photon Plus Unlimited plans for Rs.750/month

I use Photon Whiz. I recharged with Rs.777 (unlimited package??) on 31.07.10 When I recharged on 30.08.10, I had to pay Rs.273, which the customer care lady said, was due (my account was negative -Rs.273). I don’t understand what “unlimited” means in Photon language!! How was I charged when my validity period was not over? and the retailer says its unlimited downloading/uploading for 30 days. Now, I have paid my credit and recharged with Rs.666 package… if again my account goes into credit within 30 days, I will just throw my photon into the drain. Thats all.

Tata photon plus as it claims (the representative from Tata photon told me)that the speed is better than existing competetors however the reality is different .I think I made a blunder now I get really speed of avarage 4o to 80 kbps worse than even BSNL and I feel no one should go for it but if you have money to waste and get frustration also please and buy tataphoton plus.
I need advice how to get my money back as I have postpaid plan and if I stop I loose money as modem is constly.
thanks friends be careful.

all da posts praising tata are posted by the dealers only..

if u r thnkng tata is a better option for net surfing den better say tata to tata..

rest is ur choice

Reply

Sriraj June 11, 2010 at 7:30 am

I would put Airtel in front of BSNL, if cost is not your concern.
But this is entirely a different category, we are talking about wireless USB Modems here. There are only 3 Data cards, that can serve the purpose, BSNL EVDO, Tata Photon and Reliance NetConnect.
BSNL EVDO is like a lottery, if you manage to get one, then you don’t have to look at an other.
Out of Photon and NetConnect, I certainly find Photon to be better and believe me I ain’t either a Tata employee or at the least any dealer.

Those who said it doesn’t work, it only means it doesn’t work for THEM.
If you live in Delhi City, you should have no problems. Nevertheless, it is always wise to contact their customer care (or better visit a Tata Indicom store in your area) and ask if your area is served by HSDPA network.

Rahul Ji,
Jaha Jaha Tata ki Signals rehte hai waha aap isko use kar sakte hain, chahe vo Jalandhar me ho yaa aapke ke Ghar. Tata photon ki Hi speed (3.1mbps) ke liye aapko HSDPA signals ki avashyakta hai. Jaha aap rehte hain vaha agar HSDPA signals rehte hain tho aapko high speed milega, nahi tho normal GPRS/EDGE ko shift hojayega, jinki speed max 144kbps hoga.

WELL SAID DEC ANAND , YES THE PROTON GUYS TELL U ALL KINDS OF THINGS WHEN THEY SEL YOU THE PROTON PLUS AND , U HAPPILY USE THE INTERNET AND BROWSE AND DOWNLOAS . WHEN THE BILL COME U WILL BE STUNNED AT THE AMOUNT. IF YOU GO AND ASK THE TATA FELLOS , THEY WILL SIMPLY TELL YOU THAT U DOWN LOADED AND THIS AND THAT AND WILL NEVER CARE FOR YOUR QUESTIONS . I EVEN WENT TO THEIR OFFICE IN CHENNAI ROYAPATTA AND BELIEVE ME THEY ARE A SET UF USELESS GUYS OUT THERE. THEN I ASKED THEM AS HOW THEY BILLED SOO MUCH , AND ASKED FOR THE STATEMENT . NOTHING HAS COME FOR FIVE MONTHS BUT THEIR BILL EVERY MONTH WILT EXTRA RS. 500 X 5 MONTHS . NOW THEY SEND MEA LAWER NOTICE AND THRETEN ME TO SUE ME IF I DONT PAY UP IN 7 DAYS.

NEVER EVER TRUST THAT PROTON PLUS INTERNET . THEY WILL BILL YOU IN SUCH A WAY U WILL NEVER RECOVER. ONE MORE THING THOSE PROTON SALES GUYS A ANOTHER CUNNING FELLOS . THEY TELL U ALL KINDS RS. 500 FIRST MONTH FREE AND EVERY MONTH 1800 MTS FREE AND ALL THE SHIT . NEVER BUY PROTON PLEASE. IF U DONT WANT A NEUSENCE WITH OVER BILLING .

Can I replace my Airtel Broadband with Photon plus, I always gate the specified speed on my Airtel Broadband. I am staying in Gurgaon , Ncr.
Is Photon plus is comparable with my Airtel Braodband for the speed matter.
I need High speed all the time.
If Photon plus is fine I can replace my bradband & tata indicom data card with singal Photon Plus.

I have been using Airtel Data Card for the last five years without much problem. Since I am informed that TATA Photon is much better version with good speed, I have opted for it 10 days back. I was given tall promises of fast installation and better customer service. To my dismay , the Technician arrived three days after paying the amount in cash after many reminders. He has no knowledge about installation at all. He was taking instruction over phone after inserting the hardware into my laptop. He was not successful and gave up stating that it is not compatible. I have been reminding every day ever since and I regret to inform that either the phone is not attended or they give evasive replies. The persons whom I have contacted are Devilal Shukla who took my order and Rajendra Doiphode to whom I was referred by Devilal. Is this the way a customer is treated. I have been requesting them either to install the hardware or return my money and I am told that the amount shall be refunded only after 45 days. I have even suggested that they send their technician to my office where I could support them through our IT dept. The above two individuals are totally indifferent to my requests, representations. WILL THE AUTHORITIES LOOK INTO THE MATTER???

Finally made it working on Win 7.

I used to get download speed of 200+KBPS. After upgrading firmware for win7, I’m getting not more than 30-40KBPS. Not sure if firmware upgrade caused this or network congestion.

Reply

Moinuddin February 19, 2010 at 7:23 pm

I would suggest all to stay away from Photon+ , nd if you already are using it, please DO NOT apply the firmware upgrade listed on the TataPhoton website. It will damage the firmware, is not compatible with any of the OS. On XP, it will repeatedly re-install the drivers whenever you re-insert your device, it will not work on Win7 and if you get it working anyhow, it will take time to troubleshoot the drivers, making the device obsolete as a plug-n-play. Don’t believe me? I had this experience recently. Their support technicians tried exactly what I tried and after an hour of troubleshooting were able to get the device detected. But after re-insert, same story. They closed the complaint by saying my OS has issues!!! I can get the device detected on my same computer by methods unknown to them within secs, though it is irritating! But hey, is it an issue with the 6 different computers I have tried so far? I can PROVE their firmware has issues (just downgrade the firmware, you will find it), but still they close customer complaints by saying the OS is an issue!!!

I feel with respect to connectivity and range, Reliance is far more better than Tata. I had a tata indicom USB modem which has a speed of 156 kbps. It gave me lots of conncetivity problems, At present i am using Reliance net connect which is 3.1 MBPS speed and faster and has good range and speed

Reply

Sriraj February 6, 2010 at 7:37 am

It all depends on where you stay. The one which gave you 156kbps could be Photon whiz but similar to your 3.1mbps reliance, Photon plus gives you amazing speeds.

Hardware: Huawei EC 1260
Color: Black
Accessories: USB Cable

Tata “Photon+” is really good compared to Reliance “Broadband+”. As per my 3 days benchmark Reliance will give close to 300Kbps – 800Kbps but Tata is giving almost 400Kbps – 1300Kbps in New Delhi & NCR. The connection is also good with lesser Latency & lesser Delay. Major cities will get the HSIA (High Speed Internet Access) but other cities will get only standard speed (6Kbps – 16Kbps), so don’t complain.
You can do an optimization in you OS for ppp0 connection and in TCP stack to get additional boost in speeds. The Tata Photo+ is supported in Windows & MacOS (official) but it also works in any Linux flavours (Not official and U have to work ur own). The Huawei Modem EC1260 is detected very well in Linux.

# Pros:
1. Good quality signals, Good Download/Upload speeds.
2. Stylish USB Design
3. InBuild MiniSD Card Slot as storage.
4. No CD. The USB itself has the drivers and installed (manually) onto the OS.
5. Addtional 10GB Night pack as Addon. (I’m not confirmed but read it somewhere, Please confirm if anyone has the update)

# Cons:
1. Customer Care sucks.
2. Technical Support is *ull*hit.
3. Bandwidth Plans are as per FUP (Fair Usage Policy) and maximum of only 15GB and after that 2Rs/Mb.

Overall the Tata Photon+ is great for money & pocket (unless u exceed ur bandwidth bill plan and sucked by tata, sometimes i’m also worri’ed about my usage)

I have tested on following unix/linux/BSD flavorus:
> FreeBSD 8.x CVS
> Ubuntu 9.x CVS (kernel:2.26.30)
> Sabayon 4.x (kernel:2.26.29.1)
> GRML 1.x (kernel:2.26.29.1)

ANY HELP IN CONFIGURING IN UNIX/LINUX, JUST MAIL ME at bsdgeek-tempATusa.net

Reply

sriraj July 16, 2009 at 1:42 am

Great thoughts !!
As I said, if you live in one of those cities specified by Tata, then there could be no better than photon +
other wise, something like the BSNL NIC card would equal its speed (if not exceed the speed sometimes)

never buy proton plus . You pay Rs.3600 for that stupid plastic and you will never get a refund
if u are not satisfied. They will tell u U BOUGHT IT , IT UR PROPERT , we wont take it back .
Then u have to sctatch your backside with that proton plastic . Again , Once your bills come you will faint at the big amount and wonder how so much money . No answers from tata guys . U used it you pay ur bills . So forget that Proton stuff go for Air Tel . UNLESS U WANT TROUBLE .

Hi BSDgeek,

I have similar hardware as you mentioned above.

Can you suggest me the steps and driver i need to run it on FreeBSD 8.0?

One more thing, as you suggested warranty will not work after re-write, but windows part will work as it is, right?

Thanks a lot in advance.

BTW, I tried your email id given above, but it did not worked.
