Rant against Tata Docomo in India


I have a problem with the 3G e-stick that I bought in February 2011. Problems started within a month of activation - at the end of March. The connection disconnects at all times of the day at random, sometimes for a few seconds and as along as 6 minutes ( I have a video of my laptop screen).

I first tried Customer Service. Two service engineers visited my home. No solution. I wrote 3 emails in succession to the Karnataka Nodal Officer (Suresh Kumar). He refuses to answer his phone or his emails. Template replies are his only response.

A third service engineer visited my home. He alleged that he discovered the root of my problem and has instructed the network center to rectify it. That was the first week of September. I still face this problem. Financial transaction time out.

I then called the Karnataka Appellate Officer (Sunitha George). No reply to my calls. I have written two emails to Sunitha George. I received a call from a Ramkumar in the Nodal Office! He could not solve my problem. In fact, he never called back as promised. My second mail to Sunitha George has not evoked even a template response.

It's almost like these people do not exist, though their names are listed in the service escalation sheet on your website.

I would like the address of the Managing Director of TTL, so that I can send a detailed report of this abject state (even non-existence) of your Customer Engagement.

The latest news is that all Tata telecom services are now being clubbed under the Docomo Brand. I wonder how this is going to benefit paying customers.
