Airtel Broadband is blocking IRC in certain areas of Bangalore

Tags: , , ,

I use personally and am satisfied with it. However, a friend from Bangalore is quite frustrated because they have banned IRC access around his area. Yeah, he has tried contacting the support people who admits that the IRC is blocked and worse, the customer care people have only this to say to the complaints…

If you are not happy, feel free to leave us…

This is an actual statement from the representatives of the ! Arrogance in Bangalore IT Scenario? Quite disgusting I would say…

yeah. i moved to hutch as well. :)

hmmm. Well it turns out Airtel customer support is pathetic. I was a cellular subscriber till a couple of months ago. shoddy treatment of customers and non-existent fault rectification.
