    @BSNL_CHTD Hello sir/madam, I asked for the acknowledgement for the sanctioned new landline bsnl connection. Till now I didn't get. Why this concern too lazy in picking up the call which you have given for customer care services?.. That's why private concerns are growing.

    @TimesNow @deepikapadukone @vivekagnihotri @thenewshour Don't be harsh on Deepika Padukone. She went with BSNL. It almost folded. She went with RCB. It has never won IPL. She went with Junior Mallya. Business busted and his dad became a fugitive. She went with Yuvraj Singh. He barely survived. Career over. Now she's with #TukdeTukde

    @Pretentiousme @rakeshranjankr @rishibagree Leave 4G how was the service of BSNL before 4G was rolled out in India. I know the hardship of dealing with BSNL staff even for small fault rectification. Inspite of very good salary, very less work they never worked. Its fact. You can do a survey with any BSNL cust. of 2000 05

    @Airtel_Presence The way it functions it may soon become absence. After confirming availability of Fibernet in my location, I surrendered bsnl connection, paid 1 year tariff to Airtel but connecting team said no F'net. I felt cheated. Complaint to ceodesk also fallen on deaf ears

    @bsnl_care No thanks. I struggled with a BSNL Prepaid SIM for ~2 months and when I realized that I don't get 4G signal 95% of the time, I discontinued using it. BSNL too promptly stopped signal completely on SIM, though it's not even a month since I discontinued using it after last recharge

  • Harshbajaj2010
    Harsh Bajaj (@Harshbajaj2010) reported

    @IndianTechGuide Duopoly in telecom is eventually going to hit end consumers hard. Hikes of 10–15% every 12 or 18 months just aren’t sustainable in a lower middle income country like ours, but people won’t have much of a choice. I use Vi, and honestly it’s been fine for me. The network is decent, they’re rolling out 5G, and I don’t have major complaints. But if Jio and Airtel raise tariffs, Vi gets a clear path to follow. As for BSNL, I still don’t think it’s a reliable alternative at this point. The network is inconsistent, mobile data is patchy in many places, and that limits competitive pressure on the private players.

    We shifted to a new apartment in March& FTTH was shifted. As per your technical staff now when we place a complaint through the bsnl app the complaint continues to go to those managing the connections in the old apartment. Phone and internet are not working. Help @bsnl_care

    @ZMadon @piyush_trades Actually, I retract what I tweeted earlier. BSNL needs to go. What the market needs is more private players. It's competition in a free market that brings prices down like clockwork.
