Thread: Beware of sify broadband

Hi,

My account id is sonal_18. I took Sify Broadband on 16th of June 2009 and had terrible problems thereafter.

My connection used to get disconnected every 2 days and the reason i got was connectivity error because the

franchisee people didn't connect it properly.

Ultimately on 30th of June 2009 i got my connection disconnected for 4th time which never returned before 4th of

July for which i was promised extra time on broadband (never ever given).

The most harrasing part is:
1. I never got any refunds or extra hours.
2. I had to call 1000 times to Sify and Franchisee and Sify people used to come during my office hours and say you

are not in home how will we check?
3. When asked to come at 6, very adamant and used to say working hours till 5 pm only.
4. One day i had to stay at home for them the whole day waiting till 5 pm and then they arrived at 8 in the evening

(after wasting my whole day) and restored my connection and even took a sign that it was my fault that i don't stay

at home during afternoon so my connection is restored after 4 days. What the hell man!!!
5. The franchisee never picked up phone after 5 pm so no use of calling them after repeated disconnections.
6. Call sify and they say will be solved within 24 hours which never happens as i explained.

Atlast i asked for a refund and i was given the reply there is no refund of installation.

I lost Rs. 520 (fee monthly), Rs. 100 (line maintenance), Rs. 500 installation. All in all Rs. 1120 lost.

Ultimately i took Airtel Broadband and i am very happy with their service.

The Franschise of Sify i am talking is at Jwala heri, Lamba Complex. People involved from their side:
Sanjay:9212979764, Kamal:9250924362, Mr. Vijay from Sify:9711683301,9312041961 and Mr. Amit from Sify:9871778008.

These people should be booked for Fraud before some other person is duped of his hard earned money.

BEWARE OF SIFY AND NEVER TAKE THEIR SERVICES.

Sonal Sinha

I have exactly SAME experience with Sify.

NEVER TAKE SIFY SERVICES.

I have used sifi for 1 year , it was the worst service I have ever used , switched to Airtel , been happy ever since , I have yet to face downtime with Airtel !!!

I used sify fraudband for 2-3 months and it was the best time of my life, every night i use to search new cafe's and in most of the cases use to sit at work till late hours as there was no option to work from home (due to no internet connectivity)

jokes apart.. yes sify is also my one of the best parts of life..
i used to check cafes in Delhi, Varanasi(my maternal home)...
i used to browse net for hours.. though it was 25/- per hour and was quite costly, but cafeing was a very big habit of mine..

this itself led me to open my own cafe in my place,
i also wrote them to make me their francisee in Nainital, but cause Nainital didnt have any big sify infrastructure, i had to take back my steps..

It was not by mistake, that is what i like to call them.

^^ i know that.. just was joking...

btw Rs. 25/30 per hour, wasnt that costly??

All the Broadband Services over cable are programmatic in india, the main cause for the same is that they have roped in the local cable operators to provide the service.

Woow, another case here.
Its the same problem with Sify Fraudsband [AKA] Broadband who deal Dial-up connection in the name of broadband..

I believe they didn't learn the lesson even when their Chief got cased and now is in Jail,... Darn them yet they are doing the same illfreit things

i think this statement shouldnt be mentioned here..


about sify internet, i have sympathy for them cause i really liked their metro cafes, but for home users i also keep a sad side, :sad:

You know all i got to see is (-ve) stuff about sify... and all cases are like really frustutating. Sad that their sify i way cafes were really so good (well, were good) and then why do they have to do kill their already "down in the pits" reputation ?

Sify wont last long, I am seeing only where BSNL and Airtel or other ISP arent available people are taking sify as the "last" resort

yes and thats because of their Sarkari type work culture...


i believe that before its goes really too long, sify must mature itself..:surrender::48:
