Just like Reliance Netconnect, you must exercise extreme caution before you sign up for Tata. I am wary of their claims ever since a certain guy fought the company in the media. It is probably run by the same bunch of people who were behind the Tata’s wireline debacle.
I do fail to understand as to how the wireless would address the “broadband” issues for this country. I am not sure about the latency periods or the ping times and whether or not adding more subscribers would strech this service. But keeping high initial costs means that the early bunch of adopters would be subsidising for the people signing up later.
I find this idea stupid, so as to say, because the morons are trying to cash on in the desperation of the early few in order to milk their set up costs. But, as I understand, the incremental cost of setting up new infrastructure would be minimal in case they have to “re-jig” their existing towers. Plus, these companies should be able to get the brand new equipment over comfortable cost without adding much to the overheads by long term negotiations.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the useless Chinese crap gets a back door entry in the country.
Tatas are not known for their exemplary workmanship nor customer care. I feel that it is the “mill mentality” which pervades; their steel plant would get customers anyway. It is the take it or leave it attitude that pervades and till the time they are hauled over the coals by squeezing their balls black and blue, I doubt whether anyone would be constrained to deliver.
They make the worst Indian cars and trucks; Tata tea addresses majorly the lower end of the market with their “pataka chai” and Tata Indicom needed Virgin mobile because their claims have been deflowered by the prevailing situation. I don’t trust their claims verbatim because there is nothing in black and white in their account books or independent verification for their tall claims about the network superiority.
Photon plus remains another empty promise with awkward tariff plans. Beware, as usual!
Dear Abhishek,
I read your blog and find that you have some really strong views. These are your views and you are entitled to have them. I will not even attempt to change or influence them. I would only like you to allow us to give you a demo of the Photon Plus.

Thanks. Please respond to the post mentioned later and I would be glad to change my perceptions and my view about your company, if I get convinced that you are willing to change your policies.

i too agree that Tata’s claim of highest speed broadband is overhyped. I myself have bought photon+ and the highest (download)speed i have enjoyed till now is only around 1.2 Mbps!! And also the “fastest broadband” can not even play a youtube video without a hang though the speed in the “huewai access manager” shows 100kbps to 500kbps constanly!! Not to mention about the sucking tariff plans…everybody at first believes the the usage capacity to be “download” capacity. I have a 2GB(Rs.750) usage plan which means i get around 68MB everyday to “use” which is about normal surfing(without any heavy downloads) of around 3-4 hours a day!! Unfortunately Tata does not give any money back within like 10-15 days if not satisfied with the services. Now i wanna return the photon+ as i feel it was better to surf in the cafe which was 500 mtr away from my house with “Rs.10/hr, with unlimited dnld, with speed of around 200-250kbps(real), and smooth youtube videos”…

TATA Photon Plus has cheated me for last three months. I had the connection on 8th July, my experience too bad. They showed my usage 4-5 times my actual use in each month. I am now disconnecting it
