From what i've heard from an ex-reliance employee is that they make a
good effort to ensure that linux users can easily use their services.
Why?? i wouldn't know.
Really? There was a major fiasco a while back regarding their dialer
software for connecting via GNU/Linux. They made an RPM version tailored to
Red Hat 8 which gave problems on other distro's and even later versions of
Red Hat. On asking for support, the users were just left high and dry. i
haven't followed up on that story since then.
Surely i dislike reliance (i wouldn't want one entity controlling my
communication, electricity, fuel etc..) but yet i use reliance energy
and a reliance cell simply because:
Monopoly = Dictatorship => we get screwed.
a. Residential consumers unlike industrial / commercial users yet can't
switch electricity providers.
true, there is SIMPLY no choice.
b. The call quality and coverage on reliance (from my point of view) is
far better than hutch (dropped calls, cross communication anyone) and
bpl.. others like airtel and mtnl don't even qualify.. am unsure about
tata indicom.
Wait till you see the wonderful bills of calls never made. Though its a lot
better now than previously.
