ADSL on 2567xxxx a.k.a.MTNL & Tri-Band
This is further to my earlier blog at : http://prashantkoli.blogspot.com/2005/10/mtnl-and-tri-band.html
I visited MTNL exchange at Mulund(West),on 16th Nov2005, to see progress in my ADSL connecttion for my 2567xxxx telephone no.
As usual I was made to go to 2-3 personnels before directed to a correct one. I landed at one personnel and I saw Mr.Vaidyanathan sitting there. Mr Vaidyanathan, this time, however, told his boss upfront that there was some line problem with my 2567xxxx telephone number.He took me to one of the room, asked me to wait outside the room and came back with sort of a printout which showed only 52-55% connectivity between the exchange and my line.I asked him whether this was due to [possible] poor concealed telephone wiring in my house to which the gentemen replied in negative.I was told that the 2567 exchange is a very old and this problem will be solved once my number is upgraded to new 2563 exchange; but that may take another six months.
One thing was clear here that MTNL had problem with their old exchange; all the time they were blaming for internal home telephone wiring.Now they had proved that they were playing "passing on the buck" game.
I told them that I have another telephone beginning with 2562 Mr.Vaidyanathan offered to check connectivity for that number.We went a floor down and again he came out with a printout saying that my 2562 line was getting a 100% connectivity.I was advised to cancel my ADSL connection for 2567 line and apply for ADSL on 2562 line.I did that thinking that now atleast ADSL connection on my 2562 line will start in few days...but as usual things are not so straight here, at least at MTNL...Keep on reading.....

ADSL on 2562xxx
I have had this phone particularly for Internet under MTNLs Internet Plan B. Recently they doubled the tariff across all the plans and thereby pushing out all subscribers out of 24/7 Unlimited plan…probably they want to promote ADSL…that's OK…but see their pathetic service…
On 16th Nov 2005 I applied for transfer of plan from Internet Plan B to Plan 160 (Voice) and ADSL-200P. Voice circuit was activated on the second day but as usual they have not done anything for ADSL…they had done the same to my earlier ADSL application for 2567xxxx also.
I went to Mulund (West) Exchange, on 2nd Dec 2005, to find out about work order for new ADSL….it was not at all prepared…after making me run here and there they took out my application from a heap of applications and processed….and asked me to note down a certain number which they said was my WO No…..well, what I do with that no. I do not know…and now it is 14th Dec 05 and I am still waiting for a call from MTNL for my ADSL……
...as usual they have many advetisements for ADSL connections but it seems they hardly work to fulfill their promise...one more thing which comes to my mind is that such PSEs are definitely making way clear to private operators by their pathetice services....
Story of an absconding girl-II
….why the mother insisted that her daughter was attending the school regularly?
The mother had lost her husband few years back and was living with her only daughter.The mother is herself a school teacher in one of the private schools in Thane.
When her child entered the said school she bought new uniform,books,notebooks for her child.There came a semester exam and went on very well for the girl. When the mother asked her daughter for the result first she was told that the school had not declared it then….thereafter the mother learned that her daughter had passed her semester exam but the school had not given progress card….then there was annual examination which was also passed by her daughter…
The girl went into Std.IX…..again the poor mother bought new uniforms, books etc…..the girl was attending the school regularly, was seen studying at home, preparing for all internal exams, and passed her Std.IX annual exam….however, for some reason the school had not handed over the result sheet…
…then the girl entered crucial Std.X stage…..the girl joined tuitions….and now the girl was seen attending her school, classes, doing her homework regularly….she attended her prelims….she filled her form for the Board exam….and she went for her Board exam also…..the Board result also came in and the girl told her mother that she has passed her SSC exam too. When her mother wanted to see her marksheet the girl told her that her school had kept it.The mother was nevertheless happy and she went ahead to seek admission into a famous local college…she even took a small loan to pay for so called donation to the college.
….having almost finalized entry of her daughter into the local college,she was disturbed by the fact why the school was with-holding mark sheet of her daughter….and in a zest she dashed into the school of her daughter….
….only to find that her daughter had actually not attended the school after failing in the semester exam of her Std.VIII…..

Story of an absconding girl
This is a real story narrated by a headmaster of a school in Thane.
At the hay time of admissions, a lady walks into Headmaster’s room and asks why the school is not releasing/giving out mark sheet of her daughter,who studied in that school and was successful in the recently declared S.S.C.exam. She wanted to take admission for her child in a famous college in the Thane city, for which she had already made arrangements.
The headmaster asked a fellow teacher to check why were they holding on to mark sheet of the girl. To their surprise they found that no such student had appeared for S.S.C. exam from their school. The mother was told so. However, the mother insisted that the school was making mistake and asked the school to check their records discreetly as her child was attending the school regularly and has passed recent Board exam.
The Headmaster was surprised….how can it happen?…how can name of the student, a girl , not appar in their rolls?....they again checked rolls of all the divisions of last years Std.X…..they didn’t find her name in any of the division….the lady, the mother of the child insisted that her daughter was attending the school…
Fearing goof-up, the school started searching for any possible omission of on their part….they started searching records of earlier year, when the girl would be in Std.IX….still no avail….
…then they went on to search records of Std.VIII…..and lol…..they found that the said girl didn’t attend the school for more than three months continuously and when no response was forthcoming from her parents to a letter they sent to her parents, her name was removed from the school….and district School authorities were informed accordingly….
….the story ended here?
…..No….
