JAMMU,
June 11: Poor connectivity and frequent call drops mocks at Bharat Sanchar
Nigam Limited's (BSNL) slogans 'connecting India'. Large numbers of subscribers
of BSNL are feeling cheated as poor connectivity and frequent call drops have
disappointed them. However, despite assurance from the BSNL officials, the
problems have not been redressed till date. Besides, the BSNL has earned huge
money for past many months as subscribers have to make multiple calls. The call
doesn't last for more than 10 to 15 seconds because of this call drop the
telecom operators are minting undue revenue.
A subscriber of BSNL Sunil Sharma,
a businessman, conducts much of his business over his mobile phone but for last
many months frequent call drops, patchy connections have made life difficult
for him. "In fact, the frustrating disruptions on the mobile networks have
resulted in a comeback of sorts for landline phones. I have to line up
important meetings on the landline as the mobile networks just cannot be
trusted for crucial work," Sunil claimed.
Vijay
Kumar, subscriber of BSNL said every time his mobile phone rings, he runs out
to the balcony to take the call. Frequent call drops, poor voice quality and
slow internet speeds are a growing inconvenience for mobile phone users of
Jammu province. Most interestingly, the problem becomes worse during adverse
weather.
A BSNL official said that when the mobile phone came to India as well
as J&K, the call quality was good and mobile service quality was better
than landlines, and no one was heard about dropped calls. "Now the
connections have been reached in millions due to the service also affected and
has become poor, "he stated and adding that it will take more time to
restore strong connectivity in the state.
When contacted CGMT RN Sudhakar,
Jammu and Kashmir and GM Jammu Atul Sharma could not be contacted despite
repeated attempts.
