Photon plus performance on board Goa Express

I recently had a chance to find a good internet connection in DehraDun. There are quite a few 3G services available like airtel, idea, BSNL, tata docomo etc.
Asking around, the best wifi broadband connection available seems to be BSNL. They have download speeds upto 2 MBPS. most customers who have BSNL in Dun are really satisfied. As long as your landline is working fine you will be a happy BSNL customer.
The problem with BSNL is that it could take around 2 months to get a working connection.
Since I needed something quick I had to get a photon plus.
I got a chance to test my photon plus in various location, even on a train.
Sharing this info for the benefit of others who might be looking for some similar information.
my photon plus gave the following speeds in different areas-
race course - 0.58MBPS
prince chowk - 0.65MBPS
JogiWalla - 0.69 MBPS
New Delhi Harzat Nizammudin railway station - 1.65 MBPS
the connectivity is very good around Delhi even on the train.
goes on and off after a 100KM distance from Delhi
Agra Cantt  1.15 MBPS
Gwalior    0.1MBPS
Jhansi       0.07 MBPS
Bhusaval  0.13 MBPS
JalGaon   1.43 MBPS
Manmad   0.12 MBPS
Shirdi       0.11 MBPS
Vashi        1.27 MBPS 
Kota         1.91 MBPS 
Mathura    0.12 MBPS

Overall I am very satisfied with photon plus as it at least offers connectivity in many different cities.
The speed is an issue in some places but hopefully that will improve with time.
