Dear Sirs,
This is another pathetic story of my experience with BSNL mobile today that I underwent.
I have been trying to recharge my mobile with my usual vendors, who regretted that the poor service of BSNL has made them to opt out from possessing BSNL rechargers.
However, today, I recharged my mobile no. [protected] at Om Shoppee, 9A, II nd Main Road, Ram Nagar, Nanganallur, Chennai 600 061 for Rs.500/- (reference no. [protected]) where the vendor informed me that all recharges above Rs.220/- will have a 100% talk time. Knowing about the poor service of BSNL, I double checked with him if I recharge for Rs.500/-, will I get Rs.500/- as talk time. The vendor reiterated and confirmed that all recharges above Rs.220/- will carry 100% talk time.
I opted to recharge my above referred mobile no. for Rs.500/-. Instantly, I got an alert message in my mobile indicating the recharge that recharge was successful for Rs.442/-. I am terribly shocked and questioned the vendor about the balance amount. He insisted what he said earlier and praised BSNL for its poor performance and response to queries and directed me to take it up directly with you.
With no other option I am writing this to you to seek justice.
Why is this poor service from BSNL?
When the vendor confirmed that I will get 100% talk time, why I didn’t happend?
When will I get the balance Rs.58/- to my credit?
I have been using this mobile number for the past 10 years and during the initial years, I had all praise for BSNL for its coverage and easy recharge facilities. When more and more private operators throng the market, we expect the government run BSNL to excel better in your services. However, it is regretted to note that your service has moved from bad to worse.
I hope to save the interest of its customers BSNL will ensure that I will now not move from worse to worst and ensure all steps are taken to retain its customer.
Coming to the point, please let me know per return, when I will get back my balance into my credit.
I again reiterate that with immediate effect I wish my balance Rs.53/-be credited to my account and also expect your good self to acknowledge this email.
If you are unable to do so, please let me know as I will proceed with consumer forum.
Your immediate response is appreciated.
Thanks
Parthasarathy R

Basic phone & Broadband connection — Not functioning
I am lucky to have received broadband connection within a week of applying for it.My problems are as follows:
1. My land line number was having lot of noise on 6th and 7th June 2008 then it was ok by itself. But again it is dead from 9th June 2008 morning and is still dead, Though if you dial my mumber i.e.[protected] you hear the ring tone but it does not ring actually over there.
2. I got my modem installed by BSNL on June 6th in the morning and I was told that it would be activated by noon but it actually was activated in the afternoon of 7th 2008 that is ok. But on 9th morning again found that the net is not working though it shows connected.
3. I am given to understand that when broadband connection is provided a booklet is given and the user id and password are noted in it but to my surprise I was not provided the booklet and the user id and password was very kindly written by the paerson who installed modem on the inner lid of the box of modem.
I shall be obliged if the things are put to order at the earliest.
