Hi im Shiva, im a BSNL PREPAID customer since 2years, in this two years i faced some problems with this provider like deduction of balance from my prepaid account for unknown reasons, charging me more rates than usual, and more over the customer care providers, they will make me to hold for nearly half and hour or more to take one complaint and not solving it after more than 72hrs after making a promise in solving it in 24hrs, making me hold in line and improper response from customer care people.
I recently logged a complaint against my balance deduction recently while i was looking to change my service from bsnl to other service through MNP, i got shocked by looking my balance as negative from positive.i logged a complaint on 23rd jan 2011 regarding this, cc people said i activated some service which i dint do. after taking that complaint he promised to clear that within 24hrs, which he dint do, later i called again after 24hrs they said they will review my complaint and send me details in 2hrs, which again he failed. After 48hrs i called again, but response was again poor i logged a complaint again on that, no response again yet. Each time i was wasting my half an hour to one hour of time for calling to cc, answers i used to get were, NO ACTIVE SERVERS, NO SENIOR EXECUTIVES, CANT HELP, MUST WAIT FOR SOME MORE TIME, CALL US AGAIN AFTER 1HR OR SO, etc..,
I please request you to solve my problem as soon as possible. Thank you

BSNL is fooling customers. Considering the comparatively cheaper data plans, i shifted to Bsnl 3G from Tata Docomo 3G. But my decision went wrong when I got 15-20 kBps meager speeds during 8 am - 11 pm, after tht only 120-150 kBps( these r downloading speeds with IDM, surfing speed is more worse than downloading speed). I opted for Rs.606 data plan. I m having to stick with this stupid company till the end this month, coz i cant afford to go for another data plan of docomo.
I m residing within 400 metres of main Bsnl exchange tower and using ZTE MF180 3.6mbps device.

I suggest people to go for Tata Docomo 3G, because it gives consistent speeds of 2 mbps - 3.2 mbps on 3.6 mbps device for 24 hours.

Dear admin, please escalate my complaint to BSNL officials. i badly need good net speeds, but unable even to surf websites with bsnl 3g.

Hai I am residing in a village named Poyya in Thrissur District, Kerala. I applied for a broadband connection from BSNL office in Mala, which is the office to provide BSNL service for our area, in November 2009. I got WLL connection with a guarantee that I will provided broadband landline connection as soon as possible. I waited for 6 months...after that one day the lineman came and told me he can arrange for connection. I said ok...then I went to BSNL office to pay my bill and met JTO and told him that lineman told me he can give the connection and asked him to kindly process my application. He asked me to re-submit an application stating to change the WLL to landline...I did that. After 4 months the cable came to my house and it is still lying in ground. When I enquire about this with an officer in Thrissur office to whom complaints are given, he said he will look into that...then no answer....Then I called JTO and asked him...he told I will get the connection in 1 month....I called the lineman...he told he will not do anything since I contacted JTO....I asked JTO...he told lineman only can do anything....suddenly one day my neighbor got the connection after giving an application just one week before....I asked him how....he told "BRIBE the lineman" u will get it.....

This is what happening now....JTO and lineman and not in good terms and they are playing with my connection which I deserve.....secondly, I have to bribe the lineman for the connection....

One day a lady from the exchange called me and asked did I apply for the connection? Is BSNL laying cable to all the house in the country with applying for that??? then HOW come they lay the cable to my house....

From my experience to get a connection from BSNL either kneel to ground and beg with every person in the exchange or bribe them.....

Even giving a complaint to the person authorized for that is not enough

I dont understand what mistake I did.....not paying bribe or contact JTO....

anyhow I had enough with BSNL....let me wait for a private provider....I will cost me more but I will get the service.....

I am having phone no 22532810 in the name of km sivasubramanian
inspite of so many remeinders and e mail to the dept they are deactivating the god charges that is being charged to telephone bill for the past 6 months.
I request goodselves to approraite that amt in the next telphone bill and deactivated the god immediately without further delay.
This is my complaint my cell no [protected]

Hi all,

I have been waiting for 2 months to get my Type II modem for purchase from BSNL Karnataka. How long they can keep the customers waiting to get the modem. Last month they charged me the amount for the modem with the bill before giving the modem too.

SITARAM

This is very sad to say but after launging 3G and MNP, BSNL EVDO services are at their worst. From last 3 days and 4 complaints still I am nor able to connect my EVDO and as usual BSNL is very slow in process.
My Problem is very clear:
01. I start my Laptop.
02. connect EVDO from its shortcut and It got connect.
03. Within a minute Down Rate goes on "0".
04. I wait for 5 minutes but Down Rate remains unchanged.
05. I disconnect and try to connect again.
06. When I try to reconnect it starts showing "Remote computer does not respond..."
I file 4 complaint on 1502 but still not got permanent solution. They are keep saying we forward your complaint and all. I want they solve my problem but they are just interested in forwarding my problem.
God knows what to do now.

I HAVE TALKED TO CUSTOMER CARE 3 DAYS AGO REGARDING GPRS SETTINGS, HE TOLD ME THAT I WILL SHORTLY RECEIVE MESSAGE OF SETTINGS, THEN AGAIN I CALLED IN THE NOON THEN AGAIN HE TOLD ME THAT WE WILL SEND YOU SETTINGS IN SHORT TIME, NOW THE TIME IS OUT OF ACCESS THAT YOU PEOPLES DOES'NT UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF THE CUSTOMERS.NOW WHEN I CALL AT CUSTOMER CARE AND TELL THAT I WANT THE ANSWER THEN THEY JUST PUT MY CALL ON HOLD, AND DON'T EVEN COME BACK TO GIVE THE ANSWER.
THIS IS THE RIDICULOUS SERVICE THAT YOU ARE GIVING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
I HAVE HEARD A LOT THAT BSNL IS THE WORST COMPANY IN GIVING SERVICES BUT NOW I HAVE REALISED THAT IT IS REALLY A WORST COMPANY, THIS COMPANY DOES'NT CARES THAT WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE.

RIDICULOUS.

I HAVE BEEN BILLED WRONGLY. WHEN I APPLIED FOR THE CONNECTION HOME COMBO ULF-1000, IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I FOR THE FIRST 12 MONTHS, THE USAGE OF THE MODEM IS FREE OF CHARGE AND FROM THE AFTER THAT TIME, I WOULD HAVE THE OPTION OF EITHER MAKING A FULL TIME PAYMENT FOR THE MODEM AT ONCE OR PAY RS. 80 PER MONTH UNTIL THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE MODEM WAS RECOVERED (10-13 MONTHS, IT WAS TOLD).
THERE ARE NO CALL CHARGES. IN MY DEBIT ADJUSTMENT DETAILS, I HAVE A CHARGES UNDER ADVANCE RENTAL DEPOSIT PAID (ADJUSTED WITH ADVANCE PAID, NPC-INST. CHARGES, INST. FEE BROADBAND AND MODEM DEPOSIT. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO BRING THIS TO ATTENTION OF THE BILLING AUTHORITIES, BUT NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE ON ANY OF THE NUMMBERS MENTIONED IN THE BILL, INCLUDING THE COMMON CUSTOMER CARE NUMBERS. PLEASE CHECK THE NEEDFUL AND GET BACK TO ME.
