When Reliance Web World ran out of data cables

May 26th, 2004  |  Published in Internet  |  20 Comments

(and why they should no longer be called Web World)

Can you imag­ine going to a MacDonald’s and being told they had run out of burg­ers? Reliance, how­ever, has run out of data cables! And not one out­let, but every­one of them in the whole of Ban­ga­lore. Armed with all my doc­u­ments I went over to the gallery on the week­end, hav­ing decided to go ahead with Reliance. My choices fast run­ning out. Any­way, the guy very dis­in­ter­est­edly tells me they had run out of data cables. They were expected in a few days. No attempt to take my num­ber so they could inform me (I guess th at would be way too much to expect).

You mean, all the Reliances have run out of data cables, I asked a lit­tle sar­cas­ti­cally? It missed him com­pletely. Yes, he replied and turned away to do some­thing else. I called yes­ter­day to get an update and was told by them that it is now ‘indef­i­nitely’ out of stock! I think this is a higher force telling me, ‘Don’t take Reliance!’

    Arun: Well, well! Thanks a lot for that :) Now, I know why things are just not work­ing out for me — at least on the broad­band front!

    friends,

    I surf the net from reliance web world. the pur­pose was to down­load data and then burn it on my cds. it so hap­pened that the RWW at T.Nagar(Chennai) is charg­ing an extra sum of Rs.2/MB of data down­loaded to burn on cd plus the ser­vice charge of rs.40 per cd. I sus­pected some­thing fishy was going on and com­plained to some Murali Govin­dan. But it was of no use because i didn’t get any reply regard­ing the issue and why they are charg­ing the extra money which is not men­tioned in the tar­iff card. I have been to Mum­bai where no such extra charges are levied. I want resp­nse from all thhe friends out there regard­ing this issue. Please tell me if such things hap­pen in ur area too.

    I had booked a reliance land line phone from reliance web world,chandarvarkar road, bori­vali on 2.10.05. I paid Rs.2800 for con­nec­tion and STD. Till date i have not received the con­nec­tion nor has the per­son come for address ver­i­fi­ca­tion. Two times a per­son called me and asked for my address and land­mark which I duly gave. Still no sign of the per­son com­ing for address ver­i­fi­ca­tion. I was promised the phone in 4 work­ing days. Now it is 10 days. What do I do. Whom do I con­tact. The staff of chan­dar­varkar said that they have for­warded my papers to vashi office. That is all they did. No fur­ther assis­tance to help me to get the phone. If this is the ini­tial start­ing trou­ble what will be the case after­wards. The num­ber of the web world is given in the paper but the phone is always switched off. This means that if we have any griev­ance we have to go direct to their web world. There is no sys­tem of giv­ing assis­tance on phone. I want to bring this to the notice of the higher offi­cials also. Kindly help.

    Reliance sucks not for mobile phone ser­vice, but also USA_India call­ings cards. Now there is a cheap ser­vice avail­able in 9278.com, use tele2 card from 9278.com. It is much much cheaper than reliance and it is bet­ter also.

    Hey peo­ple
    I think what every­body fails to real­ize is that despite sucker sto­ries like ours Reliance is here to stay.The sim­ple rea­son being they offer cheap rates and low start up prices.Compare it say to our railways,thay dont promise you great ser­vice or absolute clean­li­ness .Peaple travel by train cos its worth the money ..they think to them­selves hey for this price I can bear tick­et­less travellers,the stench etc.Hence the inher­ent prob­lem is Reliance is mar­keted as a cheap phone the hell with the ser­vice ..for the price you pay thats all you get.

    P.S need­less to say my expe­ri­ence at Brigade road web world was terrible

    Hi,

    Today i went to Reliance web­world to buy a mobile. It sucks the peo­ple how they are respond­ing to the cus­tomers it is very bad. Just I entered into the web­world one cus­tomer was fight­ing with the man­age­ment, he gave 200/- for easy reacharge on yes­ter­day since they were not done that. And I went to web­world there for a mobile, i want to change my old num­ber to new mobile, they told to me we don’t have dummy set. But there is way to tell the cus­tomer, how rashly they are work­ing there. Please do some acton them.

    The address is:

    Reliance web­world,

    Devasan­dra entrance,

    K.R.Puram,

    Bangalore-36.
