I bought my new EVDO connection 3 days ago in Pondicherry. It cost around Rs.4100(outright purchase of the card Rs.3600 + activation charge Rs.500). The speed is pretty good. The EVDO tower is around 2 km from my house , I am getting a speed of around 600kbps. I also used this card in perungudi Chennai, where the speed I get is around 300kbps. CDMA 1x is available almost everywhere, i got a speed of around 150kbps.
