I was able to use the internet thru the zte wireless data terminal thru ubuntu (and in windows) but the speeds were very low-- much lower than advertised and half of the usual 256Kbps dsl connection. All in all it looks to be more of marketing hype than real substance. If anybody has got better speeds do let me know. I shall try to return the wireless data card and get a refund.

BSNL punjab circle has recently introduced a scheme where they are giving broadband speed of around 2.4 Mbps at unlimited download for just Rs 550 per month thru a wireless CDMA data card made by ZTE china. The wireless card can be purchased for Rs 4200 and the data connectivity is limited to just the punjab telecom circle. This scheme has not been publicised and has been in operation for the last 3-4 months. I came to know about it by chance thru word of mouth and the demand is very high but supply very less.
The problem is that i haven't been able to install it using wine etc in ubuntu 9.04 with the installation CD
Can anybody help if they have installed/configured the same in ubuntu 9.04 etc?
