If Airtel is available, take it. Don't pay Tata till they sort out your problem, and try to make them not charge you for the days that your internet was down. You can also send a letter of complaint by courier, so that there is paperwork in case you need/want to take legal action against them. Complain both about the downtime, as well as the poor customer service.

after they closed my last complain saying it was repaired (lies btw) i gave a second one on 17th which is for "No link" i.e. my WAN light is blinking. They said they are working on it...but then again they are "working" (note the sarcasm) since the past 5 days with no result.

Here is where you dig out the T & Cs of your tata indicom contract and it woudl not surprise me if they have a clause indemnifying them from exactly this, namely you pay the full bill regardless of whether they give you full service or face termination. It's thier service after all and no one is forcing you to take a Tata connection in the first place.

Most ppl dont bother with legal stuff, they just dont pay the bill period. This assumes you either have some one else to go to in mind or have decided the internet is not worth it anymore.

Tho given your predicament, i imagine Tata is the only "decent" provider in your area, which could explain the curt CC service. They don't care if they lose you as a customer since they are prolly 10 ready to take your place anyway. Not exactly good for long term image recognition but in the absence of viable competitors is just business as usual.

Its high time tata should do something to thier cc.CC has ruined them and contnuies to do so.pathetic...

 

[purplekim]

well apparently there was a short circuit in their control room in aundh so alot of ports were destroyed, thats what they told me anyway

 

[danieloceans12]

I agree with what blr and leo said...sad but true...TATA is becoming more pathetic with time.purplekim...you said aundh area...what is your connection problem?

 

[purplekim]

well my connection went down on the last week sometime..then it was restored on the 20th in the evening, after that it worked fine for half a day and problems since then. always down and the most horrible speed of 50kbps when im paying for 256. im disgusted.

 

[danieloceans12]

TATA has become too careless with their customers...with waiting 10mins in line for a call everytime I call the customer service is agravating...as for now I still have no link and no one has even called me assuring it will be done...I have the mobile no. for the engineer Sameer there but he too has stopped picking my calls.And now I am stuck with airtel gprs >.
