Tata cheats, misleads. Review on Tata Indicom Photon+

Started of with a huge hoarding that promised 2.1Mbps rocket speed and  unlimited download(with a rocket illustration in the hoarding print). I  didn't expect much and would settle for 1Mbps. Well it was really  2.1Mbps or better ....for a week. Then they "capped" it to 512kbps with  unlimited download. That was 5 years ago.

Come 2011 and they sent an  email to every old photon plus user, that since they have greased the  palms of government to allow their capitalism to take over customer  interests, they have the right now to "cap" (aka reduce) bandwidth to  just 512kbps with a limit of 5GB down/uploads per "monthly cycle". This  immediately compelled me to move to a lower plan of Rs.1000 pm from the  usual Rs.1500 p.m. which the company seems eager to eradicate, either  because wholesale bandwidth costs have risen or because they want to  accrue more profits from an existing bandwidth.

I really wanted to get  tongue in cheek with this company and tell them that since they have  "limits" per monthly cycle now that may be construed as cheating and  going back on one's word from the 2.1Mbps  to provide us with just a  meagre 125Mbps and a  download limit, they might just as well make their  service work for only the three days any  woman might need in a month  like any other monthly cycle we know of. I protested to some Borbora at  9207047811 and the guy at the other end, ended up repeating the familiar crap he has been programmed to say by Ratan Tata -  "Please call our number at customer service for further assistance".  The auto voice  response(AVR) at customer service apparently spoke to me in some bushwhack dialect of folks inhabiting the island  of Tonga, because apparently the people at Tata Indicom handling the North East offices do not speak English enough to have it in their AVR.

I knew I was bleeding from the a**hole, with this one. These folks and Mr.Tata are effing customers left and right as that video suggests.

PS:- I delayed paying my Photon bill this month and guess what happened?  TI capped my bandwidth to just 5kbps and even after paying them last  few days haven't restored my bandwidth back to the shitty 155kbps so I  am watching my toenails grow as I submit this whiny review to mouthshut.  Just because Mr.Ratan Telecom ministers doesn't mean he can eff small customers like us now, or can he? Does Tata Telecom's bad luck in being discriminated in the spectrum market mean that Tata can pass his bad luck on to customers?

Oops. I forgot. He's a wee busy retracting "poor man's car" statements on TV these days so the Nano can sell better now, right??.
