Irks of private telephone

Few months ego, when HFCL launched its private telephone service Connect in

Punjab, the residents of the state were a happy lot, hoping of a good, cheap and

prompt telephone. Now, after the launch of Connect, this service has created

trouble for its subscribers. Some of them surrendered their BSNL connection and

applied for this private phone, but Connect provided a poor service to

subscribers.

In the initial stages, Connect assured to provide new connections on demand,

which slowly extended till a week. But the connections started after months of

filing in the applications. Now, subscribers have complaint of higher billing

and disturbed (noisy) lines. Poor after sale service is also a prominent

complaint. On other hand, BSNL is claiming fault repair within 24 hours of

complaint. In recent developments subscribers are once again planning to shift

back to BSNL. This was a fever and craze of private telephone, which ended as a

fizz at the end of few initial months.
