In three languages Bengali/English/HINDI

HOPE THESE WEB SITES Are official web site/s of BSNL Calcutta.( Now kolkatta)

Any other information , suspecting these as "Hacked " web sites,
I have no way to confirm ! The link given earlier by me, was also from this forum or some other forum , i think , posted by somebody else.

Someone else,here, expected me to check all the downloads before posting the link !!! because he was unsuccessful in D/L drivers for a
dialup 56K modem !.

@essbebe
I think these ads are for Calcutta Telecom circle only. Is there any addvertise for all India Customer.

i have been hearing abt this on a lot of tech forums but yet have not seen any ads or newspaper announcement... A visit by my friend to the local exchange prove futile as they had their best answer We Do Not Know.. also their tarrif page Calcutta Telephones[/url] still shows charges as 750.... .. well only way to find out is when i will get my bill lol.

Also wondering if the 750 plan will now have 512 kBps UL as opposed to 256 ...

This reminds me of a user in a private torrent site who is probably from U.S. commenting that since he lives in a small town he had to suffer slow d/l speeds and last week some company announced a new high speed BB offer and he is very happy as he will get that ..
Out of curiosity i asked him his current speed

His reply
Just 15Mbitline

I wondered if i tell him my BSNL 750 plan speed he might fall of his chair/have a heart attack etc etc

Guess that kinda suits our economy.

For one, I know that if some ISP were to indeed offer that speed in unlimited plan, most of us would be buying a terabyte HDD every week !

aren't we doing it already .

15mb is still alien technology to us

maybe in 2020 we will have a 15mb ul

Thanks for the pune numbers brother. I`ve applied for a connection here and am hoping to get it soon.. the people have promised 10 days lets see when it comes..

BSNL offers a very good service to its customer. but the employees are not very helpful.

BSNL CC unit is not good they just docate the number if problem is critical(like speed problem etc) then it will hardly solve by only a phone call

Hi all,
I had some similar issues. Rather than going on a long rant and destroying whole pages I have documented them on my blog and titled the entry BSNL

Nobody knows how things work so it really doesn't matter whom you contact..

This is From my own experience

No really. You need to find the correct pulse of the person. Those guys are underpaid and the crappy/faulty network does not make their task any easier.

All you have to do is empathise with them and cajole them a bit.

Hi
here is my story of BSNL.
I had BSNL connection from last few years and i am very happy with the service when compared to other ISP's.
I was having Type-I modem and wanted to shift to Type-II mode which has got Wi-Fi. So i went to BSNL Exchange(my placeombivli) and contacted SDE and he was very kind and told me to write an application and submit it.

Now , i knew it will take time so out of curiosity i asked him if i can get it on the spot or will it take 1-2 weeks. He told me to 1st write the application,get it signed from him and return the entire old modem kit and submit it to Store department.

I went home(its just 2 min away from BSNL exchange) and wrote the application, did signature of my mom :P and went back to SDE. get it signed from him and headed to store. i had to wait there for 1 hr , because his shift time was 11 AM and yes..he came @ 11 Am and i gave him back the old kit and a copy of recent bill.

And then he gave me a brand new box pack new model of type II. So here @ my local exchange guys are very young and they know how thing works. Even my internet is 99.999% UP without any issues. Recently we had Navratri festival in our area and they had put mandals and since then i used to get frequent DC. i compalined to local exchange(No. 198) and in next 2 hours my problem was solved. after 2 hrs i got call from Exchange to confirm if the problem was solved or not.

So to cut this long story short, i think BSNL is best and i wont switch to any other ISP. I am using UL 750+ plan.

I hope BSNL bring 1 mbps UL with out FUP and live up to expectations of all the users/
