SIR
I AM A RESIDENT OF SECTOR 38-WEST AND HAVING 3 BSNL MOBILE AND ONE LANDLINE NUMBERS AT HOME.BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT SIGNAL IS VERY POOR IN THIS AREA. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE THE CALLS CLEARLY. SOMETIMES, WE HAVE TO DIAL THE NUMBER THROUGH LANDLINE TO COMPLETE THE TALK. THIS IS CREATING LOT OF TROUBLE AND THE BENEFIT OF MOBILE PHONE IS REDUCED AND BECOMES ANNOYING.
PL LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND GIVE THE SOLUTION AT THE EARLIEST SO THAT THE BENEFIT OF BSNL SERVICES CAN BE TAKEN FULLY.

ONE MORE ISSUE IS THAT SOMETIMES WITHOUT ANY CALL SOME MONEY IS BEING DEDUCTED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. AND SOMETIMES WHILE RECEIVING THE CALL EVEN AT 38-WEST, ROAMING CHARGES ARE DEDUCTED. THIS IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND NECESSARY ACTION.

Sir,
I have recently changed my broadband plan from plan 250 to plan 500 under which free downloading facility is being provided during night hrs i.e. 0200 to 0800 hrs. I wish to mention specifically that I have changed my plan just because I have to download some big files from rapidshare.com. First two days I got bandwidth of 1.5 to 1.6 mbps and download speed of around 200 kbps I have downloaded around 2 GB during those days after that my net was not working for a day then when I complained about my net my net was rectified but my speed specially during free downloading hrs are limited to 155 kbps and downloading speed of just 15 to 20 kbps. I have complained everywhere, local exchange, regional call centre, mailed to local and regional officers but my complaint is still unheard. Now I am planning to take help of Consumer forum and will ask for rebate in rental as the complaint is unheard for 1 week.

iam the user of bsnl excel prepaid since 4 years my complaint is
about caller tune, iam using caller tune from 7 months, i have selected an new caller tune its is not activated on my mobile my

The connection to landline phone no[protected] is frequently interrupted. The complaint is rarely attended. The phone connection is restored automatically but is snapped again. The phone is useless for about 10- 15 days per month since last 4 months but the rental charges have to be paid in full.

I have a landline provided by BSNL, unfortunately I also have a Data One Broadband service. For the last four months my internet connection gets dropped immediately after connecting. The DSL led goes off and comes back, I try to connect back, it is either phone line busy that is shown or a connection established only to get disconnected in the next few seconds.
I have been trying to get this rectified and I have atleast 10-20 complaints registered some of them that I can recollect, 67424, 67758, 62358, 2588. I have one registered even yesterday.

I contacted the JTO Mr, Amarnath in gandhinagar and initially he said this is a problem with the so called server. I then contacted Mr. Narsaih (I guess from Lakdi-ka-pul) who promised some action but none done. I spoke to Mr. Ravinder in Mushirabad exchange (Responds good to the calls), he inspected the line and informed me that the phone line to my apartment is very bad. This is communicated to the JTO in gandhinagar 2 months back, no action yet. Mr.Suresh in the JTO office in gandhinagar agrees that the line is bad, Mr.Swamy promised this will be corrected. No use.

I pay around 750 per month for this no service that I use. I need to get the entire amount paid, refunded to me if this service continues.

Can some one responsible and accountable in BSNL, if there is any, please act on this. It is really frustrating when people sit on complaints for months together. If this cannot be done, please let me know of that so that I can switch over to some other broadband connection.

I was unable to get the details online to whom I can submit my complaint while searching the internet I found this right to information link on the internet,

http://www.punjab.bsnl.co.in/rightofinformation.htm

I wrote an email and it bounced back with the following message. It appears as if nobody checks this account. Please suggest whom should I contact? Below is the bounced message and the original message sent to BSNL representative



his Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:

Subject: Broadband connection details
Mr. Rakesh

I would like to know the list of documents that are required for getting a Broadband connection for a Pvt. Ltd. company? I been trying to apply for this connection but every time the office demands different documents. I would like to know what should be attached with Broadband application form.

Also I tried to find the contact email for the DGM or GM Chandigarh but found that the list has email addresses not belonging to BSNL. Can you please provide me the genuine list? You can verify this on the below link

You can contact me either using this email address or by calling me at following number ([protected])

Thanks,

BSNL is providing a telephone connection in India and giving poor response if we rise any complaints against our home telephone. BSNL is supposed to give service to public if any problem or mistakes in their side. Instead of giving service, BSNL provides bad reply and poor response. How public will support BSNL government organization. Hence public will supporting private sector who provides telephone service and good response for public.
In velachery BSNL office, Staff's is not working for people and they are not ready to rectify if complaits rise. They will come and physically sit in office and go home.
When BSNL will rectify their faults?

Dear Sir,

It is going to be 1 month i bought a BSNL topup for Rs 56/-. I tried to top up in my mobile number. but a message came as this voucher is invalid. Then i called several times for the customer care but there was no reponse and given a complaint number as 55143. but still no action is taken up.

Request you to kindly do the needful as soon as possible.

Rehmath,...

I got BSNL broadband connection home500C that have limit of 1.5 GB for a month and for 80 paise/mb if exeeds. Even I got the connection at July 1, 2008, they did not provide us Portal Id and password to check our used data usase and finally after a long, somehow we manage to get it on July 28, 2008. and first of all I check my usase of data then I come to know that I need to pay for 8.5 GB that would be nearly 7, 000 rs.
Now, tell me what can I do. BSNL is thief. They are cheating. They dont tell you how much you are using so that it could exeed as in my case and everybody know that for this much amont I could have net for 1 year with unlimited download. But they even dont offer anything like if you use more data tranfer and you exeeds unlimited charges then you should pay for unlimited as it should be .
So, finally I could conclude, those are thieves beware of them.

I am from Indore M.P. My phone no. is [protected].
My BSNL broadband, dataone is not workimg since 2nd of July 2008. I booked complaint on 4th of July 2008. They gave me complaint no. too - A58. Nobody turned up. Later I had to book complaint freshly, the no. being A248 .I have been constantly enquiring as to when they would attend to it. Each time they say they will see to it. Where should I go now, even the senior staff at their nearest office Patrakar colony, Indore, is paying no heed.

i have taken broad band connection in the month of jjune08 with rs 750/- unlimited scheme from your office at kapurthala punjab .from last 20 days internet services have become from bad to worse and internet does not get connected for most of the time i have personally lodged complaint to sdo sh gandhi with mobile no as [protected] at kapurthaLA OFFICE BUT INSPITE OF HIS ASSURANCES NO ONE HAS COME TO ATTEND THE COMPLAINT
KINDLY LOOK INTO THE MATTER AND TRY TO GET IT RECTIFIED AT THE EARLIEST

Sir,

I have BSNL data one connection.My telephone number is[protected] .All of a sudden it stopped functioning. I made a written complaint on 5/7/08.On 8/7/08 after checking the modem installed at my residence I was told that the port has been changed and within two days it will start functioning.It didn't happen and I lodged a complaint again on 12/7/08 (complaint No.453).I was told that it will be done the next day.
I am a distraught person as they will send the bill promptly for this month's service also.

I contacted by phone today just before writing this complaint.but I am sure it is not going to be corrected even now.

Is BSNL irresponsive to complaints?.Are they lacking experts?
I expect that at least seeing this complaint they shall respond.

This landline is not functioning properly since February 2008 and has gone dead completely in June 2008.

Whenever I tried to complain using the No. 2198 ++++ a recorded message that the facility is not available for this line was being conveyed.. Thereafter, I lodged my complaint with phone No.s 23631100 / 23621100. Around 20/6/2008 the personnel at the nos. confirmed that there is cable fault which will be attended to. Further, I was advised to contact the mobile no. [protected] for further information. As the fault was not rectified, I lodged complaint again on 1/7/08 docket no. 430. Even as of today my complaint has not been attended to & te phone is totally dead.

I am sending this email with a ray of hope that the complaint will be attended to with all seriousness.
