With R Connect, Reliance Infocomm now runs one of the largest ISPs in India. It has logged in close to 300,000 subscribers. Though the four metros, along with Bangalore and Hyderabad, account for the largest number of subscribers of R Connect, surprisingly, it is subscribers in the cow-belt states of UP, Bihar, MP and Orissa (who tradition-ally suffer due to poor infrastructure) who have clocked the highest Internet airtime on R Connect. Subscribers in these four states have logged upwards of 400 minutes of R Connect per month on an average, far higher than that in the metros or mini-metros.

Reliance Infocomm offers three packages, gold and silver for Internet access through its CDMA mobile service on
R Connect which, respectively, cost Rs 1,000 per month and Rs 500 per month for unlimited access but with download limits of 250 MB and 100 MB, respectively, and a standard package at a monthly rental of Rs 200 and Rs 0.40 per minute airtime charge.

The Internet access service can work through any one of the following devices: R Connect data cable, the fixed wireless phone/fixed wireless terminal (FWP/FWT), the PDA phone and the GTRAN data card.
