Tata Indicom Photon Plus Wireless Mobile Broadband – Speed test and Review
Posted at August 26th, 2009 under Broadband, Photon Plus | 120 Comments »
Highspeed mobile broadband services finally arrived to India. In addition to the State owned Bsnl’s EVDO service, RCom’s Netconnect broadband Plus, Tata Indicom also joined to the bandwagon with its Photon Plus. Tata Indicom Photon plus is an upgraded version of its Photon Whiz, a wireless internet service which offers speed upto 144 kbps (CDMA 1x). Tata Photon Plus uses EVDO Rev.0 technology (3G) which offers a download speed upto 3.1 Mbps and available on major cities in India.
Tata Indicom team has sent us Tata Photon plus kit and we tried out and tested the mobile broadband in all testing combination and bringing you this exclusive review.
USB modem and Router:
Tata Photon plus comes in two variants. USB modem type and Router. USB modem type is the preferred choice for Laptop and Desktop users. Wireless router is best suited for small organizations or those who want to access internet from multiple computers at the sametime. In order to use the wireless router, you must have wireless Dong in case of desktop.
Installation
Installation of Photon Plus is very simple. The USB modem comes with the necessary installation drivers and dialer software and it will install automatically on the first plug. For further connection, all you have to do is execute the dialer the software using the desktop or startmenu shortcuts.
Upload and Download Speeds
We were actually surprised with the speed. We got an average download speed of 1.5 Mb/s and Upload speed of 0.44 Mb/s on a regular basis. 25 MB of data file took me 3.10 minutes to download and 4.9 MB music file took 2.45 minutes to upload. Infact we tried downloading the beta version of upcoming Microsoft’s Operating system, which is of 2.36 GB, took 5 hrs approximately. However the connection speed is completely depending on multiple factors like the accessing area’s distance from the tower, time of the day, number of simultaneous users. Also make a note that the 3.1 Mbps download speed claimed by any service providers including Tata Photon Plus is the burst speed and is the maximum speed one can reach at the ideal conditions. So be happy if you are getting the download speed of 1.5 Mbps.
Plans and Tariffs
Tata Indicom USB photon device comes at a cost of Rs. 3500. This charges includes the USB modem charges and the installation. Tata Indicom has more plan options than the competitors, however the absence of any unlimited plan actually restricts power users to move for Hi-Speed broadband. Photon Plus starts from Rs. 250 and extends upto Rs. 1500. Photon plus has both Time bound and Data bound plan options. Rs. 1500 plan allows upto 15 GB of upload + download and yes, it is the maximum.
Network coverage
Tata Photon+ is currently avalilable selected cities in India (Delhi, Patna, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Dehradhun, Shimla & the circles of J & K, Assam & NESA States). On all other parts, the device will automatically switch to CDMA 1X connection and will offer 144 kbps speed. Tata Indicom has to increase the High speed availability areas as they are currently covering very less areas when compared to the competitors.
Verdict
Tata Indicom Photon Plus offers an excellent broadband speed. It covers major cities in India and the speeds are steady while on the move too. But it covers only major Tier-I cities and North eastern region, where fixed line network is not possible as of now. Tata Indicom has to aggressively expand and increase the coverage regions. Also, Watching streaming videos, Browsing rich websites and Downloading in seconds are the major priority for any power user to switch to High speed broadband service. Currently Photon plus is not offering any unlimited plan and the plans are very costly when compared to the fixed line connectivity. We hope Tata Indicom will come up with more interesting plans to give a tough edge to the competitors.

I am Currently staying in Mumbai, got Photon+ a week back. I would say only one word ‘Amazing’. I dont think even the wired connection has this much speed and uninterrupted connectivity. The average time taken to download 1MB file is simply 10-15 seconds. I have tried working and different timings a day and it never slows down. The customer service is also good that i have changed my Plan in 24 hours. The bill payment is also really simple through online payment. The device costs 3500/- and installation took 5 days. Amazing service i have ever seen, now i am recommending my Friends and relatives to buy the same.
i have a photon+ connection and it is horrible. It’s speed is pathetic.Even youtube videos are buffering. Dont go for it
The Tatas need to get their normal broadband services in order and deliver their promise of “always-on” before they start making empty promises about even higher speeds. And…they need to stop constructing at Dhamra port in Orissa.
Nice review. Infact i was looking for such a detailed review before buying Photon plus or netconnect.
Pathetic and very slow… It shows a connection speed of around 200 kbps however you try to surf or download anything it gives a max speed of 5-15 kbps. I almost have to roam with the laptop to all the corners of the place….
It shows upto a speed of 2.3 mbps but while downloading, it shows upto 90 kbps. Pretty nice for surfing. Better than the Reliance Netconnect.
Useless customer care
Please give me full information about tata photon plus wireless internet and various usage plans
Reliance netconnect broadband is good but problem is that they are not offering unlimited plan. Speed is ok 500 to 800 kbps. but problem is no unlimited plan.
Hi I have been using Photo+ in Navi Mumbai for the past 2 weeks. The speed varies between 400 kbps to 1.8 Mbps depending upon the time of the day. During day time it fluctuates between 400 kbps and 800 kbps. Speed starts to increase after 6 pm.
If one does not need mobile broadband internet, go for MTNL Triband. 24 hrs a day I get 1.8 Mbps. It is much cheaper to set up and usage charges are also low.
Mobile broadband is a new offering, so may take time to stabilize and improve. On the hind side as the number of users go up and if the service providers fail to increase bandwidth, service may deteriorate. So it is a wait and watch for now. Internet continues to be a suffering. But the above options are any day better than using your mobile phone for accessing internet.
hi this not onlemetd ok
I think instead of going for Tata you should go for Reliance because of their vast coverage of network and their speed is much better than Tata.
I called both representative to have demo and I noticed that Reliance is quite fast than Tata.
very poor connectivity clashes with lot of software service is poor for tata photon plus repenting buying it will post again if it improves
I think its a brilliant product! The average speed I get is around 1.5 Mbps and on occasion it has gone up to 2.2 Mbps. I regularly watch full length movies online (not just YouTube videos) without the slightest buffering. I think its damn reasonably priced for such awesome speeds. Am thinking of upgrading to the 15GB scheme since the additional usage rates have been brought down to Rs.0.50/MB.
Tata is the ever worst connection for online gaming in northeast. I’m one of the customer who is using tata photon+ for last 2 months n i cant even get 60kbps constantly every 20 min in working hour and in night every 5min i get DC (Disconnect). I call, email to customer care and i got reply it will be solved soon and i even personally went to office to complain about this. I’m so disappointed
for this connection. I have other connections sify (wired) and BSNL (wireless) which is far more better than tata which is call photon+ 3.1Mbps. And Btw go BSNL (wireless) just pay 250/month used unlimited 
. And the connection u will feel like you are using wired comparing to tata indicom photon+
Will post if it get better in notheast (kohima)
Useless customer care
I am facing a problem while connecting the photon device. The device is getting detected by the laptop. The light blinks. But when i connect it via Huawei Access Manager it says the device is not available. I cant understand where does the problem lie? The laptop ports are fine as the device gets detected then why does the Huawei Manager says ‘DEVICE UNAVAILABLE’?!

hey guys… photon sucks!!! the speed of photon plus is very eratic..i.e. the speed does’nt remain the same… some times it gives download speed of 100kbps and suddenly drops to 30kbps… i gave up my photon!!! and they did’nt even take the modem back… i had to bear the loss of 3500rs which i paid to buy it… i had to just throw it… atleast they could have taken in second price… both the material and the customer care is poor… lots are expected from tata!!
Hi,
I am Radheshyam Sharma from Bhilwara. Is this true that tata photon plus give us minimum speed of 3 Mbps. Can we watch online TV on photon plus.
dear All if u want to increase the speed of photon simply log the fake call in call center after some time u can check the speed it is better than previous speed. because speed limit is set by the service provider

Hello,
I am using Photon + for last 2 weeks and, placed an order for the device in march 1st week I got it in 3rd week.
The speed is horrible, it promises me 3.1 Mbps but the Max I got till date is 400Kbps.
Advice you not to go for it,
Shit service, both customer care and So called Nodal officers and, bullshit management, good for nothing.
Don’t go for Tata Photon +
Speed is Fine but customer care is pathetic ..!
Speed and customer care is pathetic ..!
Don’ even think about it 2 purchase . I purchased photon whiz device 7 days ago it speed constantly varies with in 0- 5 kbps.Even I am not able to surf or open google home page at this speed. I am from bhilai (chattisgarh). so my suggestion to all my dear friends think 100 time before to purchase it. fine. God bless you
I bought a tata photon + on 30/03/10. and submitted the documents to the representative on Saturday 3rd April 2010. there is no update there after online can you please tell me the status of my order for tata photon+.
I got a call on finally on the 12th April 2010 morning I get a call from tata executive assuring me the complaint will be taken care of same day afternoon i get a verifying call asking me which laptop I have and what is my address etc. I was once again assured I will be receiving the photon + in 2 days.
I have not received the same so now I think TATA just means assurance and no action I don’t know what I should now.
I purchased and did the payment on march 30th today is 16th April so I understand that tata people are never really active and punctual to deliver the product.
While Tata photon plus speed is good in places where towers are available, it is horribly low in other places. Buffering takes a long time wasting a lot of time. This is to due signal problem. I think more and more towers will solve the problem.
nice article. Why should we think about Increasing photon+ speed
i have a tata photon + it’s provided by my company but it’s speed is very very slow i can say deadslow, if u want to down load 25 mb file it’s taking time 5 hrs for that, it.s transfer rate is 2 to 4 kbps only, why this happend in wireless network,
The worst connection I have ever purchased.
Very bad product.
Very bad customer support.
All are liar, they speak of 3.1 mbps speed, a bad product not even deliverers 100 kbps.
The most untrustworthy and un ethetic connection I have ever seen.
Got Frustrated with it, and customer support intimates that you have used a specific amount of
even though connection was not working for complete month.
Please peoples out there never gop fo TATA PHOTON PLUS
This is only for the metro cities. It is useless even in the cities near Metros. Photon plus does give 60 kbps at Dombivli(Kalyan) 48 kms awy from CST. It takes more than 10 minutes to open a page, leave aside dowloading. Atleast they should clearly indicate the 3.1 Mbps availability area it spoils the name of TATAs to sell products like this.
Hi i live in Aurangabad and I have got a PHOTON+ and I am thinking to crush it down because of its poor network and Third class speed.I will recommend you to go for M-BLAZE.
I TO A SPEEDBOOSTER
I WANT TO A SPEED BOOSTER
good speed bt der no unlimited plan for surfing,browsing,chatting for prepaid customer??????????
tata photon has good download and upload speed in metros .. but worst in most part of the country where it connects to cdma 1X network and the download speed is pathetic..needs to improve a lot.. becoz tatas name is associated with trust but when it comes to tata photon + they need to improve and imrpove fast and only then they can win the trust …
useless customer service. Airtel broadband is quite better. Dont go to Hell
when will tata photon plus come in rajkot???????
if we buy tata photon plus from mumbai and use in rajkot. Then what speed it will give????????
reply me fast. I want an answer…………….
Hi, i have bought tata photon ;it is giving a speed of only 17kb for download –Location –Dombivli east –Khidkali.
i think tata photon is better only in Mumbai not in thane circle
Hi ,
I bought the Tata photon plus connection on May 29. It got diconnected just after two days and even if we have submitted the documents till today (Jun 01) it didnt get activated.We used to call customer service daily.But they are telling our details are not updated in the system, so contact to the local office from where I purchased. The above mentioned office is the ‘Great’ tata photon plus office at Forum.They are telling we are helpless..This is what meant by cheating…From our experience we are telling dont buy any tata photon plus connection especially from FORUM mall..They will smile at you before buying the product only..Once we buy it , we will come to know what the hell service they are providing..Please be very very carefull..Think twice before you are planning to get the tata photon plus connection especially from the Forum mall..
I bought a Photon + an year back..The 1st month i got the promised speed it was awesome..After that i have never got the same speed again..It fluctuates so much that i can’t even explain..The current speed i am getting is 2.4 KBps.
Enigineer visits and says “aapke yahan par connectivity signal strenght kam hai”..How was the signal strenght fantastic in the 1st month..???????
it worked gr8 for the first 3 months but these days it really sucks…… speed not even touching 1 mbps…its in kbs like 300 to max 700 kb/sec…… ppl dont go 4 this device
pl provide a inter connection details for Rs 200 – 250 per month.
I am staying in the Navi Mumbai -Belapur. Speed of Photon+ is pathetic. Even their engineer came and put on the the paper that their network coverage has issue. Their customer care does not accept it. I request Tata Indicom before selling to the product please specify that it’s speed can go down till 2-4 kbps depending on the location so that customer does not go for it.
only 1 month old tata photon in just 1200rs

Well, reading other comments I think it is not a good option to go for, but anyway I want to know your opinion.
Hi All,
i have seen many a comment some positive and others negative. With 20 years of marketing in bangalore & overseas , i did extensive market research & finally decided to buy Photon Plus in Bangalore. I am quite happy with its upload & download speeds & surprised by some negative comments, i suggest those affected to install a good anti virus and if possible take a back-up & format the system, that would really set your system Right !
Is Tata Indicom Photon Plus unlimited plan available in Goa?

Tata photon plus actual speed is 400 to 800 kbps between 24 hrs. Its a wireless service. So don’t expect for actual 3.1mbps speed. Its speed depend on there location. On some places u may get less that 100kbps speed. So if u want to purchase it , first get a demo at our place where u make it in most use. if there is good speed. than u should purchase it.
i am using tata photon plus
but i want to know how much i have used the memory
isn’t 1,6Mbps is a standar?
i need TATA phton in tamil nadu pls contact me
I’ve recently purchased a tata photon+ USB modem. It’s horrible that the speed i got is less than 20 Kbps though the signal strength is between 70-90%. So, they betrayed me as they told they have a speed of 3.1 mbps. I wonder never even i got 100 Kbps. This device is whole lots of stupid things. Therefore, my dear friends never go for this device.
The speed is pathetic. It is never more then 30 KBPS. I tried download a video 0f 178 MB which took hours to complete. I was being sold with 3.1 MBPS but in actual it is 31 KBPS. It is a fraud and cheating. Is somebody looking into this from TATA executive team. It is carrying a bad name in the market. Soon you will be become the worst gadget of year from top gadget of year.
Hi all,
Please don’t take Tataphoton .i am using this service it’s very bad speed it never reach more than 150 KBPS. IF you called customer care they will not give you proper answers.
Please stay away from tata photon .
hey guys y don’t u all check out..airtel data card..i hope u would like the speed of its.
tata whiz and its service is really really very bad i think people should go for some other device
Please dont believe TATA Photon+ will deliver speed, I have bought this 3 months back and till now i have never seen it reach 1 Mbps, i get only 60 Kbps speed normally .Whenever we call customer care, they guide us with stupid procedure which doesnot increase speed.
Hello I got inormation from Tata photon representative that the speed is more than 3 mbps however I went for the same and now regret as the speed is pathetically slow in Kolkata itself what to say of other cities.
There is someting seriously wrong with Tata people they should not send representative who give false propaganda this I hope does not go well with company like Tata which I trusted
I feel betrayed.
Hello Everybody
Tata Photon Plus is the worest network compare to other netwoks, i am facing the bad experience with tata photan plus past 6 months, i have faced toomuch strugle with customer care people also, they are not feel the responsibility, they are telling irregulare answers.
Surendra, Hyderabad
I need photon+ connection.how i will buy it.whats this plan? whether it is montly pay or annual payment?
Hi Bhanu,
Go for monthly pay. If you don’t wanna use it for so many reasons , you can call the customer care and inform them. You no need to pay the rental for that month. BUt in annual that is not the case.
srini, mysore
I have purchased Tata Photon+ in May’2009 for Rs.3500/-. So I am using this service for last 1 year 3 months now. I have only one word for the Tata Photon+ service..its ‘PATHETIC’. So why I am still using it?…because I have already invested in the Photon+ device, and the device cost will be a sunk cost if I discontinue the service.
The average speed of Photon+ is between 2kbps to 20kbps, against a false claim of 3.1mbps!! The connection is also unstable and goes on and off during surfing. The spped increases to 30-40kbps after 2am at midnight, and thats the best speed they offer. I am using it for both my desktop and laptop, both are high-end new machines with original softwares and anti-virus softwares, so there is no problem with mu systems. In fact the laptop works superbly in my office network. So I do not buy the idea that Photon+ does not work because of poor computer devices. The Photon+ service itself SUCKS, and you will get tons of negative feedback about the service on net. These devices are selling because of mis-leading advertisements.
They also have false billing problem. And TATA Indicom’s customer is probably the WORST in the whole world. My strong recommendation about TATA Photon+ is..’DO NOT BUY’.
I want to install tata photan plus on a second system what i’ve to do for this
I have used this device they are just bluffing people with this advertisements its download speed is less than 500 kbps AND upload is less than 256 kbps paying bills of it is just a wastage of money its better to through off the device
I totally agree with Debasish Ray.every bit of what he said is exactly true.when i got thje device i year back had good speed for the first 2 months.after that terrible speeds and ridiculous bills.
i cancelled my reliance connection and switched to photon plus thinking it was a TATA product but an sad to say they are all the same.money swindling phoney claims.
terrible speeds.i think they have dished out too many connections and the result is the end user speeds have drastically come down.bad to worse as the days go by.
may need to change to a BSNL one i guess.
will definately not recommenrd this product to anyone.
