An article on Mumbai Broadband

Mumbai: In a time when the rest of world is becoming more and more dependent on the online world, Mumbaikars feel they are being pulled down by the broadband providers in the city.
A survey conducted by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) between January and June 2010 shows that many users are dissatisfied with their internet connections and the follow-up services offered by service providers.
The appraisal held 90% or more customers’ satisfaction as the benchmark for proper ‘provision of services’. But the response received from customers revealed that many companies are falling short of Mumbaikars’ expectations. In the survey, Airtel got the approval of only 76% of its patrons, while Sify earned thumbs-up from 77% of its clients. Tata Comm and MTNL fared considerably worse, earning, respectively, 60% and 47% of customers’ endorsement.
Poor help services was another grievance customers held, according to the survey. Barring Hathway, Reliance Communications and Spectra Net, all service providers fell short in the department. As per the survey, the approval
of 90% of customers was necessary for a company’s help services to be a success. However, Airtel got the support of only 74% of its clients, while Sify came last with an approval rating of 71%. The rest—MTNL, Tata Comm, TTML and You Telecom—got ratings between 82% and 89%.
In the network performance parameter, Sify and Airtel were the only providers to lag behind. Against the requisite satisfaction level of 85% or more consumers, Sify got 81% and Airtel received 77% consumer support.
In the department of billing for post-paid services, Tata Communication, MTNL and Bharti Airtel did not meet the required 90% consumer support set as the benchmark for good performance. While Tata gained 67% approval, MTNL and Airtel received only 77% and 76% support, respectively.
The survey revealed that the level of awareness among customers was so low that they did not even know that there were nodal officers and appellate authorities to hear out their grievances.
Of the total number interviewed, less than 9% in Mumbai knew that are nodal officers with whom complaints can be registered if they are addressed by the company’s call centres.
Also shockingly, only 2% to 3% consumers knew that there exists an appellate authority which too can be moved to file complaints. TRAI recommends that service providers create awareness about grievance redress in order to achieve better consumer satisfaction.

See the column for 'Help Services' for MTNL Broadband 82% :blink3::eek::Freaky::smiley-fart005: Should we believe that?

LOL.....never :P
 
lmao airtel is worse than sify!!thats it,this proves airtel sucks in all areas.
 
Cant believe, Hathway is rated high above. Its not bad, but is not good either, and the help desk and the higher authorities are an extreme pain. As for MTNL, the lower authorities may be a pain, but the higher authorities are atleast approachable and help you out.
 
I would like to write to the idiot in TRAI who has been foolhardy enough to take responsibility for and put his name to this survey. boy, Is he is for some tongue lashing! I am referring to the broadband section. Whenever did they conduct this fictitious survey, have any of us here ever voted on it?

That reminds me, why not have our own survey and send the results to TRAI, surely that will be a more realistic indicator of the actual situation, it is my contention that we are a more accurate representation of broadband users in the entire country.

Love your editor man, appreciate that you are going the extra mile to make this forum classier, jazzier, and all that.
