[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.

the worst service one can experience is by taking BSNL EVDO cards. un expressable problems i am facing. no proper trchnical knowledge at customer care executive. they never pick the call even if they do so vague answers are given.worst service i am getting speed of 3-4 kpbs . still any one wants to make adventure u are most welcome.
its pathetic.With speed ranging from 5-10 kbps it is not suitable for large page download.
hi,
i have been using the evdo since 2 feb 2008 and i am getting about 100kb/s avg speed .
i thing evdo is the only which give u such great internet experiance in 550/- rs.
worst customer service i ever seen! they did't know some basics ideas too... BSNL authorites shoul first teach them how to speak with the customers!!
There is no customer care. I contacted many times over phone, brushing others they will come and attend my complaints this is many times happened. They never know technical problem or otherwise to allow technical persons to attend the complaint and solve. I bought the data card of 2 mpbs already over a month, till today the speed of 512 kbps not met. Why the BSNL propagated 2 mpbs i cannot understand. Please someone tell me about this.
If i buy the EVDO i need to pay 550pm... Is it allowed for me not to use internet for a month and not pay 550 for the month and use it aagain the month after ?????
I am using EVDO Card for 3 months here is Assanm. I got my Card the very next day I applied for it, and It was connected the same day it was handed over to me. Despite of very poor signal quality it delivers average surfing speed of 200Kbps and has delivered maximum of 550 Kbps till date. The customer service is also nice here. I have recieved sound responses from them.But ya sometimes it cannot connect with the server for few hours. I have faced it for about 5-6 times in these 3 months. When I complaint about that then they said that since the server is situated at Kolkata, which is about 1000Kms far from here, and that is why the problems are arising. But as a whole I have liked the service very much
i have a bsnl ev-do data card.I am live in Kolkata.The bsnl customer relation officer says that its connecting speed was 144 kbps.but actually it gives only 70-80 kbps and the downloading speed is only 5 kbps.

I am a resident of Tribeni, Hooghly, West Bengal. I have bought a EVDO data card on February 2009. BSNL promises a connection speed of 144 kbps. but till date I have not been able to connect at a speed higher than 20-30 kbps and after regular complaints to the customer care the only result that I got is the answer saying" we have a lack of towers . Your complain is being forwarded to the concerned department. Please bear with us for the timebeing." For normal surfing i sometimes can have a cup of tea or even a bath in the time a page opens. and downloaing!!! its terrible. an mp3 takes 4-5 hrs. and a movie 2.5 to 3 weeks. I am frustated.
