well. i am still annoyed at airtel. smartbytes is there. and they continue to claim that i had consumed 3GB data which even their backend cannot account for.
i guess i can lower my expectations a bit. the primary thing bugging me right now is that i am going to keep paying airtel 100 bucks every day for their airtel connection until i make a decision on what to do eventually
i guess i should not make an instant opinion about bsnl. they have done a much better job of delivering the service. even though i paid a 100 rupee bribe to the wiring guys. no they did not ask for it. but they were sort of getting annoying waiting for something to happen even after their job was done. i ended up asking them what is an expected payment for a prompt service. they said it's your call sir. i just had a 100 rupee note in my wallet. gave it to them and they left. not annoyed. it was expected. it is like dealing with beggars actually. either you tolerate them or you give them a few rupees and they would leave you alone. just that in this specific case, new beggars would not jump on you as soon as you pay one of them.
