Rep Power: 2  |  Bachelors need to pay RS 500 extra to get Reliance Netconnect - Descrimintation? On Saturday, I went to Reliance Web World, MG Road, Pune to take a new Netconnect broadband connection. She first told me that I have to make an initial payment of RS 4000. I told her that my friends had taken it by paying just RS 3500 and your site says it just costs 3500. Then she agreed. She told me if you pay 4000 now, you will get one month's rent free. I opted for a plan which costs 1099 rent per month with 5Gb of data transfer. I agreed to pay 4000 because I am going to gain in the deal. I filled up the application form, they affixed the photo and they handed over usb kit to me. I had one of my friend with me and she asked me before making the payment whether you guys are staying together. I told, yes. Then she told, since you are a bachelor, you need to pay Rs 500 extra with your initial payment as security deposit. I was not convinced why I have to pay 500 extra by being a bachelor and she couldn't give me a convincing answer. I refused to take the connection and left the web world. It felt for me that she is trying to gain the discounted money through other means when she realized her fault of giving discount! So two question? - What the f*** Reliance is going to do with a 500 RS security if I fault on payment being a bachelor? (Now I know how Ambani makes money and how to be rich and affluent) - I have a lot of services like mobile, land line broadband from Reliance and BSNL and none of them has demanded any money from me for being a bachelor. Do you guyz have any experience? --Sadique |

| Platinum Member  | Jokingly: A very good reason to get married.  But in the long run, you will find the Rs. 500 deposit will be cheaper than installing a wife. Seriously: What Reliance is doing is wrong. If they want to take a deposit, they must make the T&C perfectly clear on paper. Suggestion: Go to Airtel or BSNL.

Rep Power: 10  | Sadique, you should have asked to speak to her supervisor and asked for the reason for the extra 500. maybe the first person was misinformed. -F |

Rep Power: 9 | (on a lighter note) Anil Ambani seems to have entered into a tie-up with the marriage portals. |
