Angry Why is this discrimination? Another of Reliance's gr8 works!

I got the bill yesterday, with it was a pamphlet saying "2 great offers from ...." Upgrade to 300kbps just paying Rs.50 extra... Well i just called em up only to hear, after giving all details for upgrading btw, that "Sir this upgrade is just for our wireline customers! Yes i'm a wimax customer.... but why the stupid discrimination??!!


WTF is wrong with them??!!

Thats just lack of competetion. Those who have wimax probbably have it because they do not have an alternative and this is what lets them have different prices

Give it another 2 years and you will see these same companies giving good offers every where with reduced prices aswell.

i got a 400kbps wimax connection for Rs.999 in b'lore,not better than Airtel though ,MY previous one was airtel DSL 512 kbps for Rs.999,it was awesome i would say compared to Reliance.

For consumers i think BSNL has the best speed in India for reasonable rates,but the wait time is a huge headache.The Rs 500 plan from BSNL which gives upto 2mbps(unlimited only in the nights ) is nice i heard.

Yeh the 300 kbps @ 999 per month plan has been discontinued for new subscribers. All lower bandwidth unlimited plans have also been discontinued.

24/7 unlimted access now starts from Rs 999 + taxes per month, for 400kbps of bandwdith.

What these idiots (reliance) don't realize is that as soon as people will get another decent isp (namely airtel) they will take no time switching to it...
If they wud've upgraded me to 300kbps for the 799 i wud hav never went for airtel today when it has reached my area.
So in the end they will lose their customers... was it so hard to guess by them?
