I had read the announcement of BSNL providing broadband in early 2004. I'm still waiting :) I know, few people (30,000) in Pune have BSNL provided broadband, but compared to Pune's population, what % is that ? We also read about (and by now forgotten) BSNL providing "triple play" service.
I had applied for it as soon as it was launched - I registered five times through the net and phone, but to no avail. The BSNL call centre people now ask you to rather do a paper application, because they know that other modes will not be followed up. Finally, I had to submit a paper application, and do some hard follow-up with the local exchange, after which they did the connection (post feasibility-study) pretty quickly. You still have to improvise and jump through some hoops to get the connection, though. So, I used the new connection for about a month, and then got transferred to Mumbai. I will now try for an MTNL connection. The moral of the story is: you can't win, you can't break even, you cannot even quit the game. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
