[Resolved]  Tikona Internet Service Provider — Connection and Speed Problem

Address:Maharashtra

Hi,

I've been using Tikona's Internet Connection from last 3.5 months and I have found the service to be REALLY PATHETIC.

Every alternate day I make a call to Customer Care to get a complain logged.

Problem I'm facing is -
1. Connection - many times I cannot connect to the Internet.
2. Speed - I get a speed of less than 10 Kbps for a line with 2 Mbps.

The excuses I hear from Technical Support -
0. We are upgrading the network... (from last 3.5 months, I'm listening to this EXCUSE.. and the upgrade is still not done.).
1. Bandwidth is limited at Tikona as it purchases the bandwidth from Tata and other big players. They don't have of their own.
2. The tower is out of electricity so cannot connect (got this beautiful excuse on a Thursday).
3. The router is dropping packets (so, what are you guys waiting for? come-on do something about it.. would you?)

In order to voice the concerns, I've mailed to all the available channels -
1. s.[protected]@tikona.in (Appalet Authority)
2. [protected]@tikona.in (Supposed to take care of Customer, don't know what they are doing)
3. nodal.[protected]@tikona.in (this email ID of an ISP is bouncing back... )
4. [protected]@tikona.in (probably not in use...)
5. Call at Technical Support.

And none of them have responded back.

I believe there is NOT A SINGLE RESPONSIBLE person at Tikona... NONE of them are bothered about your issues. ALL they wanted is already accomplished - THEY HAVE MADE YOU A FOOL BY SELLING TIKONA's PATHETIC INTERNET CONNECTION!!!


Below is the list of complains I have raised. They are not at all exhaustive ... just for the limitation of space, I've selected a few -

If someone from Tikona is seeing this post, would be eager to know if he is responsible enough to resolve the issues.
Don't kill time by asking what my customer number is... for the sincere few, you can get it from the complain numbers above.

If you are a potential customer of Tikona, I would rather advice you to go for BSNL.. they are STILL FAR FAR better than Tikona.

Tikona Net Connect — Pathetic Service

I had written the below complain to the Nodal Officer of Tikona however till date i dont have any satisfactory response.. My calls are unanswered and even my mails are not getting responded... Their customer care IVR time doesn't reduce from 5 minutes... and you have to keep on chasing them....

Requesting everyone save yourselves and stay 20000000 miles way from Tikona.. I am not even sure whether anyone will listen to me now bt least i can do i save others from getting trapped... HORRIBLE is an understatement for these shameless guyz.....

Whoever is the concerned Nodal Officer, I don’t even feellike saying " Hi " to you guyz as your dont deserve it... I am damp frustratedwith your (Un)support customer (dont)care.

Since the time I am your member, have always had the habitof making my payment well before the due date, you may please check my recordsto confirm the same. This time I have been trying to make the payment from last4 days but your "SELF CARE" section is not opening. I am calling upthe call center regularly and have been advise to "TRY AFTER SOME TIME"...
Today being the last day I had no other option but to pushyou guyz to hear me out. However your so called executive are too busy watchingthe match ( i could hear the commentary in the background). I have called up 5-6times in the last 3 hrs stating that if i am not able to make the payment rightnow, you guyz will levied late fee charges on my bill so someone need to reallywork on this... but in vain. You guyz kept on repeating the same thing i.e. TYRAFTER SOME TIME.... I have been told that everyone around the country usingTIKONA has the bill due date today ( which is quite surprisingly to me... uguyz are even better than the financialsector working in our country). As everyone is trying to make the paymentonline the site may be un-operational.
Your stupid agent (Mr. Ganesh) has the audacity to tell acustomer that you had enough time to make the payment uptil now, if you arerushing last moment its your problem. that is pathetic instead o[censored]nderstandingthe reason why am I not able to make the payment he is educating me on when tomake the payment. If that is so please communicate on your Bill stating - eventhough your due date is XXXX... please pay on the bill generation date or elseyou are responsible...He kept on saying the same jargon and ultimately hung upmy call when we were talking... he was too much in a hurry to keep the phonedown and was least bothered to even understand..
I again called and spoke to Mohsin Shaikh... even he kept onsaying the same thing.... He even refused to give the complete name of Ganeshsaying that there are too many ganesh.. little extra which he did from his sideis giving me the email id of the nodal officer. pleasingly you guyz are chargingservice tax from me for this fabulous service....
I am not even sure whether the nodal officer will alsobother to listen to me..Incase if you are listening i need the following :
1) I will not pay any late fee charges as the problem was atyour end which no one bothered to look into.. PS: i have the call recordingswith me the prove that.
2) let me know when your site will be working so that i canpay the actual bill amount.
3) a written apology from you guyz on the kind of servicesextended to me.
If I dont get an answer on the above within the next 48hours... let not forget that the are various consumer forums site, RTI andCCore people who are willing to listen to the voice of customer.... I am payingyou guyz for the service there is no charity here.....

Regretfully your customer,

Shailesh Pati
Yes...

I too along with many of my colleagues in company and friends from across Pune are seeing very slow speeds on Tikona...
service is not good...
Don't subscribe it's services...

I'm using BSNL.. happy from last 3 yrs.
Called customer care only 3-4 time..

Anand.
I'm also using Tikona's services since last 8 months. Certainly, i had speed issues but when i had a word with "Swati Sinha" - A Customer Care Executive, she understood my problem and sorted it out. They took 2 weeks time to get the things done but evetually it's going fine now. I hope i won't come across any issue further. For now, I do recommend Tikona.
To Tikona.Broadband,

Below are my details -
1. UserID: [protected]
2. Contact No: you can get this from your IT system. Only if you care to do something about the poorest quality in industry. BSNL is a lot better as Anand points out in his comment above.
3. I've already contacted hell lot times on customer care and that is of no use. The TL and Team members disconnect my calls.

Also, the supposed to be Appellate Authority: Mr. Sunil Nair does not care to respond back.
When the people at higher authority are not responsible NO ONE WOULD EXPECT the people at lower end of hierarchy to do some responsible work.

I also hope you don't use this information for damaging the existing poor service Tikona is providing OR against Me.

Regards,
~ru
Also,

Mr. Anil Sharma,

CONGRATS!!! Tikona has kept you as an exception.
But for me and for many of my friends and colleagues, Tikona is running after our money without any responsibility towards the services they are offering.

Thanks!
Also, Below is the complete list of issues I have raised at Tikona.
27 complains in just 4 months ... can you believe it?

From earlier post by Mr. Anand, he called 3-4 times in 3 years!!! Long live BSNL!!!
