Broadband Forum

My wireless broadband connection was installed on 17th Feb 2009. AND I HAVE NOT BROWSED CONTINOUSLY FOR MORE THAN 20 MINS SINCE THEN. THERE IS A FREQUENT DISCONNECTTION PROBELM WITH MY CONNECTION. I logged complaint many times but there were no actions taken.

I paid Rs 2124/- to install the connection and now the worst part is that "My account" is showing Rs 1268/- amount as outstanding balance.

Bill was generated on 21st Feb 09. In just four days they charged me 1268/- amount again.

The worst services in the world.

You are right. Its not working properly. Six month back I swiched to MTNL, thanks to aarkei.

Before taking up a ISP I decided to have a look at the broadband forums to find the various ISP in Pune

I took up the TATA Indicom ( wired ) broadband services in Pune. Now it seems all the stories are coming true to me..

I paid hard cash so that they wouldn't need to clear the money through cheque.. The guy from tata broadband who collected the
registration forms told me they require 5 days to install the Cable line.

Even after 25 days they have not yet installed the broadband. I paid them Installation ( 1000 Rs) + Deposit ( 1000 Rs ) + 1
months advance payment 1000 Rs + 12.5 servie Tax ( 250 Rs to the Blood and sweat sucking Govt from which Of course there is nothing that I or we can expect ) . The total amount came to 3250 Rs ..

I called the service guy many a times.every time he would say that an engineer is being sent say around 3:30 PM .. then from 3:30 PM I would find his cell phone off till the next day ..

The month is about to be over for which I have already paid the advance payment..So it seems that my 1000 Rs advance payment has already gone down the dirty TATA drain as I have to still go into Cybercafe for internet

I am planning to cut off the broadband connection as soon as it is installed. My money and time both are lost.. if YOU wouldn't like to waste your time and send money down the dirty drain don't never ever install TATA BROADBAND.


Characteristics of the TATA Broadband services :

1.) If the TATA guys comes and tries to get cheque / money from you in a hurriedly ( hasty ) manner agreeing to everything you say then he is planning to screw you up your ass at any cost.


2.) He would tell you that he would install the Cable on the 5 day then he means that install it on the 25th day or thereafter.. Some smarty tata guy would tell they would install the next day or as soon as possible .. all these means the same.

3.) You would ring him on his cell phone . he would readily pick up the phone addressing you as Sir or Madam and would tell you that he is sending the guy at 4:30 PM .. It means that you would find his cell phone from that time till infinity

4.) every time you would ask about the status of your connection. They will make excuses that they have lot many connections to install.

5.) You might not get the Service or the broadband .. but these beggars will send the bill on time, that is for sure

Worst service ever! Never buy a Photon+ connection! my speeds are never more than 50K (5K)! Funny thing is that the "connected at" speed of the dialup connection says 2.4 MBPS when it should actually be 3.1 MBPS! not that this matters to me as I am no where getting close to these speeds!
