[Resolved]  BSNL (Evdo USB Data Card) — The worst customer service!! The reason why Japan built itself so hi-tech in 50+ years from scratch and India did not!!

I'm an IT trainer and fortunately or unfortunately I teach customer service to people and I experienced the most terrible customer service ever. I walked into the Koramangala, Bangalore BSNL Customer service office to apply and collect a USB Data Card for my laptop. I had to visit the office 7 times and every time I went there they would tell me they have no stocks or they'd tell me that there computers are not functioning so they can’t communicate to the concerned dept. The old lady there even shouted at me for being persistent and showing up so many times, although later she tells me that it happens because she has too much work(Not what I saw when I was there for hours unless you call talking over the phone a lot of work). I eventually got the USB Data Card and now came the issue of activating it. It's been two weeks now and calling customer care number and getting a hold of one person (and that was the only time I got to speak to someone) revealed that the work order was not sent from the customer care office in two weeks. There phones are never reachable and I don’t like to meet them just to get yelled by them.

My opinion as a customer service trainer:
1. Customer Service is an attitude and not something that can be enforced on one
2. Please get rid of people who cannot and I mean literally cannot multi-task certainly for the fact that they are old. I don’t mean offense against elderly folks and I certainly respect them but there's a limit to what we can expect from them
3. Someone has to make a conscious effort to improve the system. It doesn’t happen on its own, It’s not evolution its revolution that this country needs
4. I see a lot of complaints against different departments in BSNL and a Google search will reveal hundreds of blogs that has everything negative to say about BSNL. My question is, what has any of it achieved? Here I am putting down a complaint and I wonder what it's going to fetch me. I sure hope this write up makes a difference somewhere, somehow.

i am planning to buy A data card with 200 unlimited usage.. is it worth buying considering the speed of 144kbs
Hi,
I have been using the EVDO since last 2 weeks.I am not satisfied with the service. It was informed that the speed will be up to 2MBPS, but I am getting speed max. up to 300kbps and also the server is disrupted very frequently. Its really costly option and not worth it. So I am confused.
My EVDO card stop working from last one month.. this is vellore number. the problem is BSNL customer care is worst here. they dont want to listen to us. somebody is telling your number is working and some are telling your number has been disconnected. i don't know what to do.
inhade maa de fudi gandu chuter maran nu firde hai speed di ma di lan de dende
sorry to hear about it...and amused as well...watever is run by the public security here has no assurance...a ll give u an idea...try findin someone you know who works in the bsnl office...and i assure u ur work will be done in no time!!!
well I am a bsnl data card user the one that states that the maximum speed can go up to 144kbps. I am not denying the fact that the stated speed is never reached. but I would also like to state that I might just have been a lucky one coz my data card gives me speeds of around 18kbps at night. I know that sometimes it really turns out to be a harrasment when you try to apply for a bsnl product. but I would like to share this that my bsnl data card was delivered to me 2 days from the date I had submitted the application form(I can say this to you that even I was surprised to see such good customer care service).I am a resident of Kolkata. I would mark it as satisfactory given he pace at which the other data cards work. pls dont get angry with me. I am no person to say good/bad things about a company, but its just that I was sharing my experience with the product, just as the others are doing
I will suggest all to process their complaints in written to their higher authorities and keep one copy with the receiving on it. If your problem is not solved you can then lodge your complaint on www.fcamin.nic.in, you can also take help by calling toll free number at [protected].

Because in India you need to fight for your right.

best wishes to all.
