[Resolved]  BSNL (Evdo USB Data Card) — The worst customer service!! The reason why Japan built itself so hi-tech in 50+ years from scratch and India did not!!

I'm an IT trainer and fortunately or unfortunately I teach customer service to people and I experienced the most terrible customer service ever. I walked into the Koramangala, Bangalore BSNL Customer service office to apply and collect a USB Data Card for my laptop. I had to visit the office 7 times and every time I went there they would tell me they have no stocks or they'd tell me that there computers are not functioning so they can’t communicate to the concerned dept. The old lady there even shouted at me for being persistent and showing up so many times, although later she tells me that it happens because she has too much work(Not what I saw when I was there for hours unless you call talking over the phone a lot of work). I eventually got the USB Data Card and now came the issue of activating it. It's been two weeks now and calling customer care number and getting a hold of one person (and that was the only time I got to speak to someone) revealed that the work order was not sent from the customer care office in two weeks. There phones are never reachable and I don’t like to meet them just to get yelled by them.

My opinion as a customer service trainer:
1. Customer Service is an attitude and not something that can be enforced on one
2. Please get rid of people who cannot and I mean literally cannot multi-task certainly for the fact that they are old. I don’t mean offense against elderly folks and I certainly respect them but there's a limit to what we can expect from them
3. Someone has to make a conscious effort to improve the system. It doesn’t happen on its own, It’s not evolution its revolution that this country needs
4. I see a lot of complaints against different departments in BSNL and a Google search will reveal hundreds of blogs that has everything negative to say about BSNL. My question is, what has any of it achieved? Here I am putting down a complaint and I wonder what it's going to fetch me. I sure hope this write up makes a difference somewhere, somehow.

Today I bought EVDO card so as of now neutral. It has an empty slot below the cover on the back.. I wonder if I am missing a simcard in it.. once device interface is started it shows good coverage, then after clicking on connect the coverage slowly drops down and finally (after seeing "an authentication event has occurred message) the complete coverage goes down and... The End!!
Unfortunate but truth is I am unable to connect now.. plz suggest if anyone knows anything about my problem! :-|
if any one want to sell data card plz contect me.

What is the latest of your complaint with BSNL?
I also fall under the same issue with BSNL EVDO service. I took this connection in February 2008. Right after a week, it started showing issues. I used to get disconnected once in 3-5 minutes (but the connection indication shows active) - when we get no display of pages, I needed to reconnect. This goes on continuously... And speed goes beyond normal dial-up. I too have complained with many people in BSNL.. nobody is interested to look into the complaints.. as they are so stupid to think that they get their salary whatever they do to their customers.. forgetting the fact that it is us, the customers who help to pay their salary.. their daily bread... its a good company with good network and all their investments have recovered... now no cost only revenue... if this goes like this.. all these stupid employees of BSNL will get laid off very soon... then they will realise the importance of SERVICE !!!

So I do not think they are going to resolve this for you... sorry to say that you too fell a victim of EVDO, where BSNL has no technical know-how and each and every time.. people from China are required to attend the complaints..
I also truble with my evdo. The speed is very low as there commit and nothing any knowledge in bsnl employee.
Hi I have taken a EVDO card (Outright purchase) in Bhopal. It took me around 3 hrs to complete the formality at the office. (get the card from one officer, get the work order created, take the work order to another officer to generate a Ph number (virtual for billing only), take the Modem to 4th officer to configure it. ( i took my laptop with me make sure its working ).
I can say i was lucky and things got going from the day one. I never got the speed to 2 mbps. But still i got the speed of 512 KBps. The connection was stable (around 4-5 hrs).
But i observed one issue at times. The Internet won't work even when you are connected and with good signals (4 bars). Then i realised that If i connect the VPN (my office) then internet starts working. So it was more of the DNS server issue at BSNL.
Any one interested to Purchase in Bhopal can go ahead . I have used it in Nehru Nagar area and Arera colony / Shahpura Area.
I am still looking for the feedback of the people using the EVDO card in Pune?

EVDO Speed depond upon distance of BTS tower from where u are reaching. I think the speed is well from 250kbps - 450 Kbps if you are 500 meters from the tower. but in Ranchi town (Jharkhand) lack of maintance the service is too poor, the BTS genrator is not working from six months. when the power off the evdo service go to hall. and BTS Care taker does not knowledge of EVDO. the machine of evdo service is very fine like USA, but neglect of BSNL Emplyee You say "Bandar Kai haat mai Damru"
