Operators to be fined for poor broadband service

TRAI has amended the Quality of Service regulation of broadband service and has included fines which operators will have to pay if they do not meet benchmark set by the regulator.

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has amended the Quality of Service guidelines for broadband service making it mandatory for service providers to meet prescribed norms. If an operator fails to meet the benchmark once, it will have to pay a fine of up to Rs 50,000 and subsequent violations will attract penalty of up to Rs 100,000.

According to the new regulation, which will come into force from 1st January 2013, provision or activation of data services is to be done within four hours of receiving the request.

Also, minimum speed of each plan has to be measured and reported to TRAI. The best part is that TRAI has asked operators to ensure 75 per cent subscribed speed is actually received by the subscriber. So, if the operator promises 7.2 Mbps download speed then they have to ensure atleast 5.4 Mbps or above. Data drop rate also has to be below 5 per cent.

To improve transparency, all the operators have been asked to publish, on their websites, the details of all data services offered, along with their tariff, clearly indicating the cities and towns where such data services and tariff plans are applicable.

The new regulations also bars operators from offering new data services or modify the existing data services or tariff without prior publication on their websites.

Seriously I welcome this move of TRAI. But is this applicable for BSNL? What if the operator donot have base station or mobile tower in a area?

My BSNL EVDO sucks. BSNL guys told me that the CDMA tower is located far and they have plans to set up a new Exchange near my area. Now as per this TRAI regulation, will they actually set up a Exchange in my area. Let's see.

^^This is Indian Broadband MAN LOL.
Now my Aircel 3G rarely touches 200KBps. Every other country in world is experiencing better internet speed day by day while we Indians are experiencing just the opposite.:p

i don't think this applies to government companies' *cough*MTNL/BSNL*cough*
bloody MTNL makes my FUP use up faster.
Yup, this will not affect BSNL at all don't know about MTNL. I've tried all the grievance services provided by BSNL to complain about the connection quality and despite their promises nothing happened and no one was held responsible.
Emails, Calls, written letters, all in vain. "We are trying, this seems to be a technical problem." Their brahmastra answer.

And this fine and QoS stuff will just be pain in the a$$ for private providers and they will put the pressure on end user. So to improve quality their next step would be to :
TRAI/ISP will fine the End User if found Downloading Copyright Materials specially from Torrent ?? Dooms day is not far away....

And the majority will still face the problem because they are stuck with BSNL (like me).
