Bsnl Goofed Up With Airtel

Its paranormal activity all over BSNL’s website. Few days back we saw it being hijacked or rather I would say a forceful hack into their website and now it seems their servers have fried up or the employees are playing silly pranks?

I was just going through their website and was quite dumb struck to find out something really strange. Well there is some kind of a message displaying about some special offers for Airtel customers. And even adding to it a bit of spice there’s another line which says to contact Airtel for further information.

Now why on earth BSNL customers should refer Airtel to get the infomation regarding  BSNL offers it does seem that aliens have landed into their servers again.You can check it on their website at www.bsnl.co.in in the news flash section on the left hand side of the homepage.

Now please if anyone from BSNL is going through this do correct it as soon as possible. Its really a shame to see such silly mistakes.

Thanks @renjucool for the tip.

    I assume that it may be the policy of getting popular with controversy & attract more visitor to their site.

    BSNL can have the no:1 network if they changed their offers mainly call offers made like docomo,, bcoz they have the largest coverage

    It’s more likely that this “goof” is actually an offer from BSNL to get Airtel customers to switch to BSNL. BSNL may be aware of the dissatisfaction from Airtel customers of their FUPs – Airtel are using their “retention department” (very heavily) to offer “special plans” to people who want to disconnect their Airtel connections due to the FUPs and such.

    @Arif – What the hell are you talking about? Airtel has it’s own OFC all over Mumbai (and indeed the rest of India) whereever it needs to go. Tata also has it’s own OFC in other areas – domestically, they do not use each other’s fiber – I’ve tried obtaining last-mile access from both, but neither offered sufficient coverage for what I wanted. Internationally, Tata and Bharti co-own some fibre as members of consortiums, and EVERYONE pays Tata/VSNL for access to landing stations, but that’s about the extent of it.

    It’s more likely that it was some local cablewala who was cutting cables (we’ve had threats against ours), but the fact that they could even get to the fiber shows just how shoddy Tata’s fiber installations are.

    @Amit.
    You are right. One of my friend is working in TATA. He told me the same story.
    AirTel is using TATA’s fiber. There is agreement, if fiber of TATA fails, TATA have to compensate for loss. In some places of Bombay this fiber gets break due to some reason. And at one particular place fiber always gets break. TATA people gets fed up and they hired a vigilance agency. These people have taken photo of people cutting the fiber and caught red handed. They are AirTel people.

    Thanks TelecomTalk. 1 yr before i’m using BSNL evdo, one day an Airtel broadband executive approached me , he told if i disconnect bsnl and take Airtel they will give 512kbps unlimited for 799[at that time 256kbps UL is 899].Really funny.Even though the public sector company having huge potential should fight against.

    I think its airtel who is hacking. when Airtel launched its landline service within months BSNL’s landline telephone caught fire. crores were lossed. On investigating it found involvement of pvt operator, whose name was never disclosed.

    I guess this was planted and probably not an inside job, cause from what i checked the address for the “999 kbps on DSPT” news is bsnl.co.in/……?news_id=538 and this is an older post done/modified at “Monday, October 18, 2010 1:20:45 AM” and the address for the airtel’s news is bsnl.co.in/……?news_id=540 done/modified at “Monday, October 18, 2010 1:19:30 AM” which is a new post, what i am trying to ask is,
    1. How can one do a new post at a previous point of time, well before the older post? and
    2 Why is a post missing?, where did ?news_id=539 go? or its just the way the addressing works…
