A Brief Review on Photon+
Photon +
The Photon+ is one such a device that Tata’s have provided the market. The words claimed “I carry Speed” is worth saying(in metros esp).
Speed: (3/5)
On avg., in Cities or the Coverage Area I get a Speed of 1.02Mb/s
In other areas I get a Speed of 1.5Mb/s
Both these data are irrespective of the Peak hours.
Network Area : (4/5)
If you are not in a metro, it acts as a normal CDMA only.But, this is comparatively good enough to stay connected. Their network coverage area is wide enough. I personally experience it in Pune, Bangalore, Goa , New Delhi & Chennai. This works good enough unless until you are in a core village.
Economy: (3/5)
The Package they offer are not attractive on the basis of Cost. Comparing with a wired connection this is high in cost. But, for anybody looking for portability & good network coverage the only option available is this. For normal surfing, browsing & Googling the 2Gb package will work good enough. Moving to Online Gaming, Video Streaming or Movie & Songs download you should go for 5Gb & more( personally I don’t recommend- It is very costly). Photon or any mobile broadband provider don’t have a unlimited download Package.
Customer Service: (2.5/5)
The Customer service is not very much appreciable. They need to work a lot in this part. For any queries you are suppose to contact on cs.helpdesk[@]tatatel.co.in along with DC number( Data Card no) & they respond in 2 or 3 days.
Overall : 3/5 for those who prefer portability & Network Coverage area as prime factor for Purchase.
