Shifting of Tata Sky connection within 4 kms distance in Whitefield, Bangalore
Period of gestation and counting : 10+ days.
1. Called Tata Sky Customer Care 10 days back. After 20 minutes of waiting, opted for call back option within 24 hours. Call did not come.
2. After 2 days submitted a request for relocation. Was informed the request has to be submitted for uninstalling the dish antennae first. Did so. Next complete week was a blank. Saving grace is somebody called asking wether the uninstallation is done.
3. Not getting any response for uninstallation, and being vacation for the kids, I enquires Tata Sky Customer Care, if I could have the balance of the annual pack refunded for the remaining 9-10 months, if I want to discontinue the service. I was categorically informed that Tata Sky does not have a policy of refund.
3. Finally, Yesterday, the Tata Sky engineer called and had very clear 3 points
A) I need to leave office and be there at site despite explaining that we have shifted 10 days back and the dish was in a particular location and the security would guide him.
B) he will not carry the dish antennae.
C) since the new place had a centralized dish, we should leave the dish orphan at the old place.
And finally asked whether he should close the call.
4. The next step was even more interesting :
This morning I requested customer care for reinstalling at the new location. After some talking was able to convince that the reinstall could be done despite uninstalling.
Request for reversal of charge for last 1 days of non-service, was met with 'somebody would call'. My concerns of not receiving call backs did not have any response.
Request for suspending service, was met with a clear 'Can't take request since you have only Rs. 11 change in your account. You need Rs. 20. On retorting that I have already paid Rs. 7700 for the annual pack, and there is non service for last 10 days, and why do I need to recharge for Rs. 100 for a Rs 8 something to be done. I was accosted with her putting down the phone.
So much for Tata Sky Service. I'm caught between the fire and the frying pan.
Fire - Tata Sky : horrific service, sky rocketing cost of subscription, and incessant lack of service due to Bangalore rains throughout the year.
Frying pan : loose hard earned money for making a bad decision.
