3g WTH

3g is what 3g can. For a user, its increases the data speed upto 21mbps. To be candid, its doesnt do anything else. So chuck the hoopla and aura around it and just chill if you dont know a thing about 3g

Well is it worth the money, operators are charging. (link on 3g tariffs). Yes if you need the speed, the operators are promising. You must be thinking, how much speed i need. Well folks, speed is measured in kbps, mbps and stuffs like that. 1b =8 chracters so for example the word "beginner" is 1b of data. Then 1kb =8b and 1mb=1024 kb and then 1gb =1024 mb. Now go back to the word beginner and check how much of data you use and whats the kinda speed will suffice for you.

Hey i forgot to talk about pictures, videos and streaming. Let me put it this way, check any picture and check its size, and similarly check for video, audio and stuffs like that. Just check what you use on internet and you will realise, if you need 3g or not. Also for folks who do lots of youtube, their only crib would be why the heck there is buffering. Well if your network is offering speeds of less than 240kbps your streaming will have buffering. Why the hell, this no of 240kbps, forget and chill, you dont need to know. 

Folks now as a guru, what advice do i give. Well you can use any amount of data you want but since you gotta pay for it, work the reverse way. Control, how much of data you should use and then decide on tariffs. Well freaks, control your net usage. For normal folks,2-3gb is sufficient amount of data and the amount is worth it. Obviously am not talking about folks who spend lives downloading movies. Holy crap, 1movie is 600 mb and so on. But why the heck do you need a mobile broadband for downloading movies. Use your cheapad and slow stationary connection for that. Well, read mtnl.

Lastly before you bug me, let me say, you cant use 3g on a crap device. You need to have a device which has capacities of 3.6mbps or more. Lazy bones, go and check the cartons of your box and find out whats the speed, the device supports. If you are amongst those lucky few who have lost the box, just google your handset models and you will find millions of links telling every holy grail about your device.
 
Also, before i end , let me share some secret on how to save your money while using a data plan. Well, let me give only one advice, keep your data off and switch it on only when you need to use data. You would have heard stories of how customers get billed like craxy for data usage. Well follow this secret. Nowdont ask me, How to keep data off. Folks if you cant do that, then chuck your smartphone and take a nokia 1210. Ok ok, check this linkon how to keep data off.

Good night
