Reliance Wimax Service in Pune

Posted Mon, 09/15/2008 - 15:36 by editor

After having used Reliance Wimax Broadband Service in Pune for well over a year now, it is time for another review of the service. During the past 16 months, we notice that the Base Stations (bs) usually go down once every week. The most common problem is that the DHCP server fails to respond, and your working lease which is set to 2 hours times out. You end up without a working connection for upwards of 2 hours a week at least. Apparently, Reliance uses Cisco equipment at the Base Stations for the routing and DHCP.
