EVDO vs 3G



The bsnl Evdo is the CDMA brand of internet that has not yet made much of a market or hoohaa compared to 3G. Both of them have currently almost the same speed with 3G slightly ahead in terms of data transfer rate, but the chief point in India is the signal transmission.
3G signal reception has been criticized by many. Proper distribution is not there in 3G. But, same is the case with EVDO. Although both of them aren't made for the rural market but the middle class market is essential. And, in this 3G makes it out because it is cheaper.
MTNL modem costs Rs 1799, while BSNL’s modem comes around Rs 2000 which supports 3.6Mbps, the modem supports 7.2Mbps costs. In case of Evdo, Reliance, MTS, BSNL modem Rs 2299, while Tata Photon+ modem costs Rs 2499. Apart from BSNL other EVDO operators don’t have option to use unlocked/outside purchase.

All in all 3G is still the better option if you have got good reception in your locality.
