Happy to Help??!

May 11, 2008

If you are planning to own a Vodafone connection because you think they provide a good service as well as customer support, let me clarify that you are grossly mistaken!!

The utter confusion between the cuvodafone sloganstomer care executive and vodafone store ppl made me go mad. They believe more in the Blame Game I suppose!! I talked to many customer care ppl regarding my situation and I must say most of them had no idea what they were talking about. They seemed to be more interested in transferring the call (and the headache) to someone else rather than looking at the issue.

Making ads with “Happy to Help” slogan doesn’t make the service better. They should feel the way they project themselves. Spamming through unsolicited sms and calls even after using DND (Do Not Disturb) service is their speciality .

If I talk about the Vodafone website, seems like they want everyone to use IE for using their services. [Linux users don't have a chance here]. What irritated me the most is, at the same vodafone store 2 persons had different information about the same query (the interesting thing here is that neither of them solved my problem).

I’ve been using Hutch for last 4 years and was quite happy about it. But this recent incident of “not so happy to help” really makes me think!!

p.s. If you happen to be a vodafone guy and still reading the post, we definately need to talk.

How do they teach about Internet at college

May 10, 2008

I’ve been using college Internet for the last couple of months and I realised how it helps us internet picunderstand and exploit the net better!!
Lets take it one at a time…

Banning YouTube: It took me a lot of troubles to find out how to still have access to it. [Its one of the sites that changed the way we look at Internet. why ban it?! ]

FaceBook Banned: Who doesn’t know how to access it through proxy!!

Access restriction to orkut: You gotta be kidding me.. after some googling, one can open it easily!!

now coming to the title of the post, I’m grateful to our college authorities for banning all those sites; it provided me with ample opportunities to discover Internet better so as to exploit it to the fullest!!

NOTE: If you happen to be one of those guys who restrict the sites for access, try googling other ways to access the same and ban that too.

My Stand on this: Access restriction is not the solution. The use of a specific site should be left to the users’ discretion.

The Idea: Try banning Google. It leads to every other thing!! ;)
