Review: MTS MBlaze Ultra WiFi. Strictly not recommended, Poor speed

Are you looking to purchase a good Data Card with high internet speed at great prices? If yes, then you must read this article before you take the final decision and go ahead with the final purchase.

If you have already searched for some of the available options in the market, you must have come across cheesy advertising and big claims from the telecom and data services provider MTS.

I purchased the MTS MBLAZE Ultra WiFi device a few months back. The top cover the devices has 3GPLUS* along with Upto 9.8 Mbps written in a big bold fonts. The pack that was available was also looked like a great offer as I was supposed to pay INR 999 + taxes for a 40GB unlimited plan. A 40GB unlimited plan means that you will have high speed data access until 40 GB of data consumption, post which the speed will drop to 256Kbps.

However, it has been quite a few months that I have been using this device but the speed has never exceeded 900 Kbps. On an average the speed remains anywhere between 400 Kbps to 500 Kbps. I have been using this device in Gurgaon where most of the telecom companies have good coverage but the speed on MTS device has remained extremely poor. All the claims made by MTS are baseless and I highly recommend all the consumers to not purchase MTS data cards. 

Below is a screenshot of speed test taken recently to give you a proof of the poor service of MTS.


As you can see in this image, the speed is only 0.25 Mbps as against the claims of 9.8 Mbps etc. Hence, please do not get trapped in the enticing marketing messaging by MTS and beware of their fake claims.
