Lol.. It seems they are short of their instruments there... They now depend on Apps for Signal detection :tonguesmilie::haha: And lastly when they did say that they can't do anything about it... You should have replied "Ok, I will shift to an another service provider through MNP" and when these guys start loosing their customers, they strike back :haha:
Good observation buddy. Yes it’s bad in my area. It’s been that way for more than 6-7 years now. In the past when I rang them up them kept me on hold for more than 10 mins then disconnected. That was their modus operandi then. Year before last when I rang up the Nodal office they promised to send someone &, they did. This is what happened.
Guy came went around the house with his mobile (A
Nokia phone) as it had a signal measuring app, then after sitting down
HE: said the signal is fine & there is no problem.
Me: Wait & asked for his number so I could dial it
He: my phone is not ringing (as if I didn’t know as he was sitting across the room from me.)
Me: As I was getting the ‘This phone is currently unavailable. Please try after sometime’. I gave him my phone to hear the message.
He: Let me check again. So went around the house & this time said the signal strength varies a lot. (PS I had seen this on his last trip 'around the house’ routine but he did not accept it then. After sitting down again says that he will report this to their superiors.
Me: I said its fine but please keep me in the loop.
He: Goes away.
He: (After 2 weeks) we have accepted that the signal varies in your area & to improve that we need permission from your colony to install a booster on your rooftop.
Me: WTH. But why was the signal ok right from 1995 & only in the last 6-7 years has it become so bad. My guess is that they have transferred the booster from my area to a commercial area where there were many complaints & install a dud piece in my area as it was a residential area. I asked them if this was true & I got a lot of BS from the guy on the other end giving as lot of BS on the presumption that I am not technical. Also I told them that we get a lot of joker in my colony marketing this company claiming that they have installed ‘a new booster near the railway station’. What was al that about? No answer
I told them in NO WAY is my colony going to give them permission. So they put up their hands & said ‘O in that case we can’t do anything’ and there it rests.
