Bharat Sanchar Nigam [BSNL] Complaints & Reviews

I have a 'fast' intenet connection(claimed by BSNL) via BSNL WLL set. The speed shown on is 230 kbps,but the actual speed comes to 8-30 kbps, Many a times the online payment sights such as ICICI Bank, IRCTC are closed due to idle speed. In my area BSNL telephone lines are not there, so I cannot opt for broadband connetion. I made complaints .BSNL gave a new inscrument,but the speed remains the same. What is the remidy for this ? My telephone No.is [protected] at Pune.

I have a BSNL WLL connection.On the back of the bill it has been stated that the bill can be paid online through www.bsnl.co.in.

my number is [protected]. I have BSNL prepaid service and for last two weeks i have been receiving a message from 56363, saying tht "Thankyou for subscribing SM pack. U have been charged Rs. 8/- per week." i have already lost 16 rupees for it. i have never subscribed for the service and i also donot get any service for Rs 8. it is irresponsible of BSNL to allow such kind of theft.
considering the amount of customers who have been wronged..there can be lacs of rupees stolen frm people collectively.
I would like to get the reason for this security breach and there is no way to recover my money but, it should not happen to others!

Respected sir,

I relocated my telephone from Ramesh Nagar (Indira Nagar Exchange-Old No.[protected] to Kundanahalli gate (Brooke Field Exchange-New Ph No[protected]. The phone got installed on 10th Feb 2010, I been given lots of complaints, and went to the exchange personally. No response.
I'm working in an MNC, since I don't have net connection I was not able to attend the conference at late night. Most of the time I need to go to office and attend the calls.
I purchased the type II modem from BSNL by paying around Rs.1800.Hence I'm not in a position to take another service.
BSNL is trying to grab new connection by giving lots of sales promotion. But there is no effort on retaining the existing customers.

Hello Sir,

I had subscribed for BSNL broadband Unlimited -750/- rental on 10 th march. My bsnl number is 25221370.
The line man asked for money for installing it, what I denied to give as installation charge will come in first bill. Because of this he cut the connection from pole and after compalaint on 12 march, no body listened to me till march 15. I visted the BSNL office thrice for knowing the problem.

They give me the line man's number[protected]. This person now telling me that you are doing some internal problem in system. There can not be any problem out side. He is talking rudely and telling "you can compalint whom ever you want my working hour is till 4.30, if I will get time then I will come and if you would be at home then I can repair, I can not inform you before coming, its your duty keep waiting for me."

I told the situation to the concern person for challaghatta region in BSNL Ofiice named Venugopal Nair[protected]. but its also of not much o[censored]se. I am suffering from 10 march to till now no body cares.

I am putting this complaint in public concern to know How BSNL is working.

Thanks
Ravi

Dear Sir,

We have at home our BSNL land line connection of[protected] for nearly ten years. But surprisingly the phone is down from January 2010 and even after repeated submission of complains, no measure has been taken.

In fact, some of the BSNL staff has told us that there is permanent damage to the underground wire and the line will never be connected. We could never imagine such an irresponsible comment from a professional service.

In this circumstances, let us know what we should do? I was planning to get BSNL broadband service at my home. But without the land line connection that is not possible.

We have even paid the rent for one year for this line in advance. But there is no formal communication from BSNL to explain the reason for discontinuation of service.

As this is a very old phone number for our family, it is extremely inconvenient for us to manage without this phone.

We are expecting your help on this.

Yours Faithfully,

My IPTV executive had collect Rs.1500/- from us on NOV 2009 with the commitm ent that they would give BSNL - IPT^V connection within a weeks time, however after the cheque submission in our bank, the IPTV executive nor any officials had communicated with us nor any response as to the instllation nor the problem.

On our frequent calls to their customer care their exe had confirmed that their technical team wud contact us , however this also had not happened, again after a week we started making no. of calls the same response stating that there is a technical prblem on our landline and our Modem to be replaced and all stories. More so they didnt inform us that we may hv to pay another 1600 rs to BSNL for change of modem, in DEC bill BSNL had charged us Rs.1600 for change of modem.

Even though it is more than 5 mnths no one is taking any responsibility to either commit us on our refund of our money nor abt the instlln, we wisht o inform all that pls do not go for My IPTV - BSNL connection the response and service is very poor and bad.

Sir, I am having a BSNL Broadband connection plan 750 plus at my home. Very often there is problems in connectivity of internet.On lodging a complaint in the nearby tele-exchange (Rapti Nagar Gorakhpur) the staff never pays any attention and generally says that the modem may be defective. After getting checked the modem by them they keep on saying that the line may getting earthed and the lineman will vist ur house and check the complaint.But after several vists even the lineman did not visited and checked the faults.I am now bound to get the line checked by private means by paying a large amount. Now I am really feeling why people are really going for private broadband connections. It is really true that the full form of BSNL is BHOOL SE NA LENA

Hi sir,

I have been using BSNL Cellone HP Employees CUG plan for the last 2 years and is regulary paying my bills in time. Last month my plan was changed and my rental went down by Rs 75 to Rs 175 (previously it was rs 250 ). i had also subscibed to GPRS facilty for the last one year which is Rs 150 for unlimited access anywher in India. I got message for the new plan through message and there was nothing described about the gprs plan so I contacted BSNL CSC at Parwanoo. There I was told by a lady customer service executive that the plan was same for GPRS usage anywhere. I am on training nowadaz at Chandigarh. Now for my surprisewhen i got my bill for this month I was shocked it was Rs 3074. i had never paid bill more than Rs 800 during the last two years. So I thought this might be due to some technical faulta at bsnl end . So I went to exchange at Kullu. There I was told that the amount was valid and was charged due to surfing while roaming. My credit limit was rs 2000 and last month I even got a message from bsnl while my limit was about 90 % reached. But this time I didnt got any message only such a big blow when I got my final bill.

Sir even last month when I was roaming my usage was for Rs 872 and I got discount for Rs 702 (as my plan gives discount on incoming while roaming) and my bill wa totalled to amount Rs 544 .But this month my usage is for Rs2,749 and I have got discount for just Rs282 .This is visibally a blunder mistake and BSNL is not accepting it. that is why I want to register a complaint.

I am not in the position to pay such a huge amount of bil. Kindly guide me how to file complaint against bsnl. I shall be grateful to you.

I have received the following message on my CellOne Mobile phone in Chennai from TM-BT-PTC as under, which I am uploading on your website for the information of all your users/browsers (having BSNL connections) so that they are careful about such SMSs which may be hoax messages to defraud/cheat unsuspecting people:
“YOUR MOBILE-NUMBER HAS WON-USD 750,000.00 IN THE 2010 BT-MOBILE-DRAW, TO CLAIM YOUR-PRIZE SEND YOUR NAMES, AGE, TEL AND ADDRESS TO: [protected]@hotmail.com

Dear Sir,
I have been a regular and loyal BSNL user for more than 20 years.
About 5 years ago after i had purchased my residence at Block 2, Flat 4 ,3 Bhavanthiyar street,Kamarajpuram,Tambaram , Chennai 600 073,i had applied for my second BSNL line [protected] First[protected].When i had applied i was promised a regular fixed landline ,but i was given a WILL Phone.This number[protected] does not work from day one.What i want to know is WHY IS BSNL NOT GIVING A REGULAR CONNECTION WHEN THERE ARE OTHER NUMBERS (REGULAR CONNECTION) IN THE SAME FLAT.IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE A REGULAR CONNECTION.WHEN OTHER PROVIDERS ARE WILLING TO DO THE SAME.
I ALSO LIKE TO PLACE ON RECORD THAT I HAVE SENT NUMERIOUS EMAILS BUT TO NO AVAIL.LET ME ALSO TELL YOU THAT I HAVE SAMLL CHILDREN WHO ALSO STAY ALONE.If this is the type of service they are going to provide i will not only be forced to surrender the line ,but also take a connection from some private provider.
I hope someone will look into this issue and solve this issue at the earliest.

Regards
Dinshaw
When contacted they replaced the instrument .This works only in there own office and not at my residence.

I have purchased an internet plan of BSNL in which i'm getting a download of 1 GB per month in that context I had lodged a complaint 4 days before and there is no result yet. My complaint is that my net linking is not proper and half of my capacity is wasted in connecting and reconnecting. The problem is i'm a research student and with the amount of MB wasted i can download atleast 100's of research papers. I called them twice and pleaded to please see to the situation but i think its worthless to them, so in that context what should I do, should I approach TRAI or Consumer forum or what to do I really dont understand because I think i'm a research student and i should do research instead of asking queries like this. Somebody please reply back on my mail ID [protected]@hotmail.com. Thanks in Advance

BSNL office at KPHB(Kukatpally, Hyderabad) is constantly denying to accept the application form for new telephone connection for home use at Pragathi Nagar.
I am facing this prblem since 3-4 months.
When I first approached BSNL office at KPHB with the application form, the officer denied to take the form saying there are no lines at present at Pragathi Nagar.
She asked me to visit Telephone exchange at Nizampet and check if they are providing the new line for required location. When I spoke to engineer at exchange, he replied saying it may take 3 months and that too not sure.
I applied again after 3 months at KPHB office and they again denied saying the same reason.
I don't understand why these people constantly trouble people for availing the service.
This doesn't make good reputation of such a huge governmental firm of India.
