| Tata Docomo Beats Vodafone In Gprs Speed Benchmarks In Bangalore Posted: 14 Jun 2010 12:28 AM PDT 
So the next best option is the GPRS service and that’s what every telco is getting into.With new packs and low rental plans being introduced in every other circle. One of our users has been kind enough to test out the competition between TATA Docomo and Vodafone, not on the pricing but on speeds and given his verdict. Speedtest was done with Nokia 5230 handset using Mobilespeedtest.com Conducted at Yelahanka, Bangalore City. All stats which are shared depends on site mobilespeedtest.com (They send 100kb from mobile to their server and measure how much time it consumes in that process).We Decided to conduct Tests at 3 different Timings morning, evening and midnight. Morning Stats are as shown in Screenshot.
The Speed was 75 Kbps when used with Vodafone Connection at 7:30am Sunday then we did the Same Speed Test with Docomo at 7:35am which gave a whooping speed of 91.2 kbps!! the difference is almost 16 kbps between Vodafone and Docomo at Morning!
We Continued the Same Speed Test at Evening- Vodafone Speed was 69.8kbps while Docomo gave a speed of 75 kbps both operators have similar speed!! The difference is 5 kbps.. docomo’s speed was bit fluctuating.
We had Conducted MidNight Test at 12:00 Saturday the Speed Surprised us! Vodafone’s Speed was Just 23kbps less than a dial up! while docomo crossed 40 kbps we can find a sudden drop in both operators GPRS speed may be there is more traffic at night (may be so many uses wap sites at night.. specially its Saturday midnight, weekend ) Speedtest was done with Nokia 5230 handset using Mobilespeedtest.com Conducted at Yelahanka, Bangalore City. Well the verdict is out – Tata Docomo has taken the crown between the two telcos. We appreciate the results shared by our Telecom Talkers and look forward to more inputs and experiences in the telecom world. However, these tests were conducted by individuals using resources of their choice and therefore beyond our control. We are merely sharing the same and cannot be held liable for any biases, disputes or claims arising out of this tests. Thanks To- Chethan Thimmappa @che2on Related posts:

| Mi-Fone Launches New Ad Campaign in India Posted: 13 Jun 2010 09:47 PM PDT 
Mi-Fone has initiated an advertising campaign to support the launch of MI -Q range (Mi-Q1,Mi-Q+,Mi-Q5) that is reflective of its consumers and the spirit of its mobile phones: capable, trendy, confident, cheeky, and uncompromising. It is feisty and brash, taking the battle for the young Indian consumer directly to other mobile phone manufacturers. It is edgy and risky, unashamedly announcing Mi-Fone’s foray into the QWERTY space. It is about recognising your ability and capacity to move mountains. It is impetuous yet not foolhardy. Indian's today tire of being the whipping boys of the globe and are standing up and working for what they deserve, carving a place for themselves. So too is Mi-Fone with this campaign, the first of which launches the Mi-QWERTY range driven by the tag line “Darker The Berry … The Sweeter The Juice”. “The Mi-Q family is designed to give our young consumers a ‘Blackberry experience’ at a fraction of the cost, while maintaining a high aesthetic. Our advertising campaign is meant to incite and evoke and inform our target market. It may be tongue-in-cheek but it also clearly demonstrates our willingness to compete for our market, which has been side-lined by the bigger brands through pricing,” explains Mr. Patel. The campaign is all about featuring the new handsets with all its looks and features. Cheeky, fresh, pushing the envelope Lifestyle campaign designed to engage, and make a comparative impression. The phones have been designed specially targeting the youth customers primarily in the markets of Africa and India.The phones speaks for itself – Suggestion is that Darker Berries from Africa are sweetest .
