For the past few months, the service provided by MTNL has been nothing short of abysmal. The connection is slow and intermittent, and keeps on dropping out regularly. The customer service is a joke. Filing a complaint amounts to nothing. You have a person calling up, refusing to identify himself, asking if the landline is working. A blot on all ISPs.
customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
MTNL customer service in Mumbai,
especially the ones sitting at the local offices, is worse than a joke.
They lack everything from service and procedure knowledge to work
ethics and even basic respect for customers - a result of the sure
salary in an irresponsible 'government office'. They harassed me for 5
weeks, including 2 times they made me visit their local office (in Andheri-W) just for cancellation that finally seems to have happened today. I heard that MTNL (and BSNL) make their buck on leased lines and towers by private vendors and do not see a necessity to care much about individual customers. One solution for speed and service reliability is, like you've probably considered, other providers (I had a great experience with the Airtel broadband service for years before I moved, , though their admin system could use some improvements). Another one in the city is to look for a smaller local provider - they offer great deals. Leave MTNL unless you have a constraint imposed by your job (some government jobs do impose such restrictions as to use only government provided services - talk about competition!). Till then good luck with one of the most irresponsible, inefficient and totally lacking in ethics and conscience organizarions in the country.

            My telephone number no.T 27675073 is faulty for last years. I have registered many complaints in last 2 years. It is not understood why my complaints are closed without attending the complaint. My last complaint no. is 1056 dt[protected] but still no body has attended the complaint. Should I approach the TRAI or Consumer form to get my telephone instrument replaced. I will start legal proceedings against MTNL if my telephone instrument is not replaced within 15 days of receipt of this complaint. I am going to register complaints daily from today.

              Sir, I have made my complaints for call drops and poor signals of MTNL Towers. Tower Shakarpurkhass C is merely at the aerial distance of 30 meters from my residence B-35, Shakarpur Tower is installed in the B block one lane ahead to my house. One person came about 15 days back and his Mobile No. is [protected] and assured to settle the signals. But it has not come true by the MTNL officers despite my several complaints. It seems they are very much reluctant to improve the quality or I should move to some other service provider. I am unable to receive any call or make any calls as it drops frequently. I have to make calls from some other service provider. MTNL is not providing good service. We pay more and get very less. Recently one person in my neighbour is missing and we are to make many calls for his rescue. It is very difficult with MTNL. As we are now dependent on other service provider whose towers are far away and provide good service. But what about this MTNL Should I surrender my all phones . Will any one hear this complaint.

                    My Pre-paid mobile number is [protected]. Even after re-charging power card for reducing call rate paisa per second, MTNL still deducting Rs.1.2 per minuite which is not understood. I have recharged for Rs.14/- & Rs.16/- on 17 May 2015. Presently I am roaming in Arunachal Pradesh. Please check my account and activate the plan of paise per second immediately in order to avoid any financial loss to your constumer.

                                This issue is going on for almost 3 months and there is no resolution. We have been complaining online and no one is attending to the complaint. In return we get automated message that our complaint has been resolved. Inspite of the non functioning of the phone properly, we still are paying full bills on time .

                                    Dear Sir/Madam, I have taken a broadband connection plan but unfortunately it doesn't work for more than 15 minutes. It gets disconnected again and again. Inspite of repeated complains on 198 / 1504 my problem has not been resolved. The technician came just once and removed connections from all the rooms and kept one one connection in my hall. Still the problem persists. Now I can neither use my phones in any other rooms nor do I get internet for more than 15 mins I am frustrated and fed up so please look into this My Landline number with poor broadband service is : 28710397

                                        Sir, My landline telephone is 2 2 0 0 6 8 0 4. and I have broadband connection also on this telephone. The outside cable from pole to residence is very old and has 3 joints. Due to this, some time my internet is not working for two, two, three days. So I request you to please get this old cable changed. Thanking you. Yours sincerely, Surjeet Singh X/1830, Park Marg, Rajgarh Colony, Delhi-110 031.
