Company name: Tikona Broadband

Product (be exact): 2 MBPS Unlimited Plan (Came out 2 Kbps:lol:)

I subsribed for Tikona Broadband 4 Months back. For first couple of months everything was smooth. I had a 2 MBPS unlimited plan so speed were also decent.

After that all hell broke loose. 3-4 Kbps speeds, frequent DCs (By frequent I mean every 10 mins.) Couldnt even watch Youtube 144p.

Even their own login page not loading up :lol:

I reported the issue 3 times to their call center and I got a typical answer every time.

1. Main Tower has issue
2. Latency issue

No technician ever visited even though promised too. :-x

Got frustrated and filed a disconnection request yesterday. Now somehow everything is working smoothly for 1 day. Have lost faith in them and going to continue with the disconnection anyway. :-x

When they asked reason for disconnection did you say technical issue?

I ended up complaining to Higher appellate authority which took action and sent a senior technician at my place. He changed the Signalling Unit and Position of the Unit and issue has resolved. It took them 2 weeks to do this @@.

Right now I have put them on observation and Kept the Disconnection Request on Hold. (Paid till 26th Oct so no harm).

Running smoothly for last 2 days. Fingers are crossed :lol:

After a couple of days of smooth running the Connection is back on Crap Track. Good thing I didn't close the disconnection request and only kept it at hold. Now sent them mail to terminate the same and take there junk back. Hopefully will get a TATATel Cable Connection within next couple of days.

My friend too had Tikona. He said they used to call every month to pay the bills even after paying them. He disconnected and now took MTNL 8Mbps.

This company again proved that it's a SCAM!!!!! Please stay away from it...

Today I was getting speed of 100Kbps despite my plan being 2 Mbps... this was going on from a few days mostly in the evening when I need to use the web the most.. before that I filed a request for disconnection but reverted due to non-availability of options at my location. But I have filed another request just now & speeds are SUDDENLY back to 2 Mbps :shock: :shock:

This time I've had enough of this company , will go for BSNL.... stay away from this company , as members have correctly pointed out , this is a SCAM....It's not healthy for our country to have such companies in the market.
