How Tikona Cheats its customers

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 12:43 PM PST

I have a 4Mbps unlimited connection from Tikona. The fair usage policy states that till 80GB usage, I am supposed to get a speed of 4Mbps
My billing cycle starts on the 26th of every month. I periodically check my usage using the tool they provide on their self care portal
On the 24th of this month, I noticed that my speed had drastically dropped to 1000Kbps.
I spoke with an agent called Saili who did all the logical troubleshooting steps and confirmed that there was no issue either with their network or with my rooftop device. Then she found out that my connection had been moved to secondary usage since I had used my 80Gb allocation. Their tool told me that I had used approximately 72GB and not 80GB. When I insisted on speaking with a senior person, she made Omar call me
I spoke with Omar at 9:30 AM on the 24th morning. After spending 5 to 10 minutes in explaining how the policy works, he admitted that there was a mistake from their side. He confirmed that the usage reported by their site was corrected. He offered to get it corrected

On the 25th morning at 1AM I found that the connection was still very slow - the same 600Kbps range. I called their care number and spoke with their agent Rahul. This guy was sharp to point out quickly that my connection was in the secondary stage. He also confirmed that no corrective action was taken after I spoke with Omar almost 15 hours earlier. He offered to get it rectified in 24 hours. I knew that this was meaningless since my billing cycle would start within that time and I would get my 4Mbps connection.

I wanted to speak with his manager and got the standard reply - no manager on floor. All seniors are busy. He offered to get some one call me

I was pissed off and mailed Prakash Bajpai - their chairman

"Mr. Prakash

Since the 24th morning, I noticed that my network connection was very slow - averaging around 600 to 700Kbps.

After the regular troubleshooting like disconnecting / reconnecting the POE, clearing cookies, clearing browsing history, safe mode with networking, etal, I spoke with an agent of yours in the morning

a) At 9AM - 24th Jan - I had a max download speed of 1008 Kbps, upload of 486 Kbps, ping latency of 18 ms and absolutely no packet loss. I spoke with a lady called Saili. After placing me on hold a number of times she came to tell me that my connection was switched to a secondary status since I had crossed my fair usage policy. She had to place me on hold two more times to 1) tell me what plan I was on and 2) to tell me my fair usage policy of 80GB. Since she did not know what she was talking about I asked her to get me her senior
Umar called me at 9:30AM. He took a long time to explain how the fair usage policy works and ultimately accepted that I had not crossed the 80GB mark - according to him and your tools, I had used 72GB between 18:30 hrs on the 25th of December and the 23rd of January. He said that he would get the issue rectified immediately
c) This morning at 1:25 I called Rahul since I was getting a speed of 696Kbps with a latency of 23ms and no packet loss. He probably went through the previous case notes since he was quick to point out that I had crossed the fair usage policy. When I questioned him, he also placed me on hold twice before coming back to confirm that I had not crossed the 80GB mark. He said that it takes 24 hours to rectify a mistake that your systems created.
d) I have attached 2 Excel sheets generated by your tool that allows me to download session history details.
e) The table that I have attached, clearly says that the plan was switched to 4096Kbps secondary at 00:44 hrs on the 24th even without me crossing the 80GB mark

I want some one from your office to call me latest by 9:30AM this morning ( 24 hours since I spoke with Umar ) to explain why this mistake was created, why it was not rectified even 16 hours after bringing it to your notice, what you propose to do with your L2 who was not able to keep his commitment and how you plan to compensate the user

Because of this speed issue, my daughter had to request her friend use a non-Tikona connection at her house and record a video lecture that she needed for her exams next week

For your information, I have voice recordings of the 2 calls I made Tikona and the call that Umar made"

Promptly at 6PM that evening Prateesh called to tell me that they were investigating and would have an answer in 2 days. I reminded him that his investigations would not help me since the speed would go back to 4Mbps in the next 6 hours when my current billing cycle starts

On the 28th of Jan Pranathi called to say that they were still investigating - by that time, I believe that the jokers felt that I would be sitting there biting my nails in anticipation of their master sleuthing.

Today Prateesh called to inform me with all pompousness that they completed their investigation and found that the fair usage policy was indeed applied and my connection switched to secondary only after I used my quota of 80GB

Either Prateesh was telling lies or Omar AND Rahul AND their tool was telling lies

The only reason for posting this complaint here is to tell all prospective Tikona customers to stay away from such cheats

MS staff

There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey! Where am I?" To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.

The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."

Is Windows a virus?

No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
They replicate quickly Okay, Windows does that

Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that

Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk Okay, Windows does that, too

Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems Sigh... Windows does that, too

Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware Yup, that's with Windows, too

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences: Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature

So, Windows is *not* a virus

This year the Comic-Con International award for Saving the Best For Last goes to Warner Bros., which at the end of its panel in Hall H brought out Zack Snyder to make a very big mic-drop announcement: That there would be a new Superman movie. With Batman. The movie will be titled Superman & Batman according to The Los Angeles Times, Snyder will direct the film, slated for 2015, and—according to The Hollywood Reporter—Henry Cavill will reprise the role of Clark Kent/Superman, but it's unclear who will play Batman. Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer will pen the script. Sources also told the Reporter that the film will be part of the build up for a 2017 release for the Justice League movie.

The Lego Movie

Posted: 31 Jan 2014 11:59 AM PST

The film, the first-ever full length theatrical LEGO movie, follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.
