Dear sir,

My broadband is not working properly since last 2-3 yrs. I keep visiting MTNL Dahisar telephone exchange and it works for some days, then again the same problem starts.
The ADSL light normally is absent. Can i have a permanent solution to the problem,

Nowadays i have started recording my complaints, but for last 2 years i just used to complaint and there used to be no action.

Above are the dates and complaint numbers, i don’t know who closes the complaints, but 2 days later when i still have a problem, i have to re register the complaint.
The ADSL light not present is persistent since last 3 yrs. The problem is on and off. Sometimes there is an issue, sometimes it starts working. However the service is not reliable at all. I can never be sure if the service will work when i reach home. For last 3 yrs, i have paid close to 25000 Rs as my bill payments, for a service which is not working.
Visits to MTNL Dahisar telephone exchange are useless. Either the person to be contacted is on outduty call, if at all i am able to meet him, he says he will take care of it and send some line men. But the SERVICE of BROADBAND just remains AS it IS.

Against my telephone no 26025372, past several years I am using MTNL broadband service and against my telephone no 26025468 I am using MTNL wifi broadband service. During the past one month both the services are in pathetic working conditions. Repeated complaints have yielded no result. MTNL is quick enough to give the complaint number and equally quick enough to "close" the complaint without attending to the same. To check the connectivity when I run Ping it shows either Request Time Out or Destination Net Unreachable. To add "salt to the injury" now the both the telephone numbers have gone "dead". MTNL may launch new products, new services but would some one advice them that to keep alive and competitive one has to provide service. Unfortunately, it is Incredible India, where a consumer (moreover a common man) is always at the receiving end. Services are available to people only with "contact/s". Jago MTNL...Jago !!!

I have been using mtnl for last two years and one thing always giving me problem is the frequent disconnection of internet. Although it improved for past few months but since they started on the new minimum 512kbps speed programme, my internet keeps on disconnecting every 5 mins or whenever there the phone rings. MTNL are the poorest and filthiest internet service providers. All these mtnl guys can do is just give you a complaint number and sit back and relax. I kenw they'd give me a complaint number, so when i called them up two days back i was bang on correct. They handed me a complaint number. What more is filthy about them is that sometimes the linemen would call you and ask "kaunse floor pe hai aapka ghar?" I mean this is ridiculous. If we live on 4th floor with no lifts, then it is our fault that we are using mtnl. Can anyone do something about it??? I have heared of RTI complaint. Can i file it?? if yes then how???

Dear Sir/maam,

Sir,
I am Deepa garg, Residence of Tri Nagar, phone no.[protected].
I am having problem with its broadband services. They did not offer the speed and the connection get disconnected frequently.

This has become the strategy of MTNL of making money.

they did not offer the speed as mentioned and it often get disconnected frequently.
this is not only with me. But are doing with almost everyone. They are taking advantage
of consumer ignorance for their services.

As per my plan, I should get the speed of 256KB/S but i was getting only 33KB/S.
after complaining here i am getting 64KB/S. This is not only the problem. Connection get disconnected frequently. So please help me and others, as there is need for immideate action against MTNL.

Dear Sir/Madam, My Telephone no 28988872 having Broad Band Connection since last 15 years, since last four weeks ( more than 26 Days), it has frequent disconnection , I have called up 1504, they adviced me to book MTNL complaint no 198 & their person should be there in house to repair or check Modem.I have booked complaint both on 198 and MTNL Borivli Shimpoli office telephone number.every time, some one calls up me ans asking me status of the connection, but no proper connection done & no one came to my house
Please advice now with no coonection or frequent disconection, my work is getting affected

I applied a new telephone line & broadband service for my home on 9th March 2010. On next day MTNL Line man came at our home & installed the device. After installation they asking for money to start the phone line.

On 10th march we received the conformation call from Ghatkopar exchange that your Line has been start & billing period has been activated, But again the after 30 minutes phone has been dead & not yet been working.

Requested you to look in to the matter & take the proper action aginst the same.

MTNL-CDMA Mumbai( GARUDA ) dissconnecting telephone services all of sudden without any instruction to subcibers. This are happenning regularly and every month. No body senior officers bothered to attend any of acctual troublefull system to all subcribers for favouring of other PRIVATE TELEPHONE COMPANIES.The call center 1502- the only complaint booking authority for CDMA also refuse to book the complaint and ask to CUSTOMER to visit personally at BKC.If any guidelines for challaenging in COURT or CONSUMER COURT,Pl. mail the details......[protected]@rediffmail.com

Dear Sir /Madam,

This is to bring to your notice, the trouble I had to face recently while applying for Triband (495 Unlimited Combo Plan). I live in Rathodi Village in a rented house which is near Jankalyan Nagar (Malvani Fire Brigade). On 6th of March, 2010, I called on[protected] to enquire about the plan and its eligibility if any. A lady attended the call and when enquired; confirmed that the service is available in my area and asked me to collect the application form from the counter in Malad. When I asked her name, she confirmed that she sits at counter number 4 however refused to give her name. She also asked me to be ready with 3 mandatory documents; NOC with notary, rent agreement and identity proof. On 8th of March, whole day I ran around and made the NOC skipping my work. When I went to submit it to Malad center on 9th, to my surprise, I was informed that I need to visit Kandivali center. Helplessly, I went to Kandivali as instructed to find out that they do not provide Triband service in my area. That was enough to take me on a hell ride. However, Mr. Ghosh at the center was nice enough to make me sit in his cabin and explain me the reasons which went over my head as I couldn’t make out any logic.

Now my question to you is, if there is no service available in the area mentioned above, why on earth I was not informed on my initial enquiry? Secondly, why advertise behind all the B.E.S.T buses that run to and from Malvani bus depot, Marve Rd and Jankalyan Nagar where you do not even have the facility? It should be specified under conditions or atleast on your website where Malad is shown as coverage area. I think its high time, MTNL atleast try to follow BSNL who provides internet service in remote areas of states like Bihar and Assam where people do not even have proper road connectivity. My motive is not to disgrace your enterprise but to do a reality check. It hurts my pride of staying in the most developed metro city in the country and also makes me realise why private providers are flourishing.

I request to you to provide me a clarification on this and a commitment on when will you start working on it and make the service available. I am saddened by the fact that I am loosing out on an apt limited offer Triband plan that suits all my needs. I also want to know if I will be able to book the plan for future use or will I be considered eligible to avail the same plan whenever your services will be available. Hope to get a prompt response.

Nayanmoni Das

This is to inform you that, I have a broadband connection with a plan of Rs.199/- with 600Mb free. The problem is that my 30th jan 2010 Mb usage is inordinately showing high at 380.96Mb whereas, as per my calculation, it should not be more than 100mb at the maximum, since I had downloaded only one file of about 15 Mb and later done surfing of a few sites [ about 8-10 sites].

I request you to please cross-check & provide me with the details on the same, as I feel that there has been some mistake / discrepancy at your end.

For your information, I had checked with your B/B help-desk no.1504. with two docket numbers booked on the 31jan2010 & 03feb2010 and was informed that some technical person would call us in 24hrs time for giving us clarification on the matter but the dockets were cleared regretfully without anybody calling us.

Would appreciate to receive an early reply with proper clarification from your end.

Thanking you in advance.

Sir,

Sub: MTNL Broadband Connection on Phone No.[protected]

I am totally fed up with making complaints and MTNL Broadband connection. My Broadband was down form last 2 weeks (i.e. from 5 Feb, 2010). I had made too many complaints on Customer Care No.1504, 198 and 197. Everytime I made a complaint, they only give complaint /Docket No. After that, only few calls came from the exchange asking whether the Internet connection is now working or not. I wondered how the problem will get solve when nobody comes to rectify it? And after about 6-7 calls the local area exchange automatically updates the call status as SOLVED, rather actually they even not get the pain to come and see the problem. One day I caught a line man and requested him to sort out the problem and he went somewhere and cured the problem. Now my problem is that my broadband connection keep fluctuating within every 30 mintes i.e. I am not able to access internet constantly. I have made so many complaint about it but MTNL people gives only complaint no./Docket No. as usually instead doing anything. So, I kindly request you to do the needful at earlist...otherwise MTNL people have no right to talk about 3G technology even when they can't handle Broadbands
