HDFC Netsafe updated for 2012

It might not be a big article but it is definitely a good news for all those loyal HDFC netsafe users. From this year onwards HDFC have updated their Netsafe terms and conditions. Though they are not available online but i have experienced them multiple times.

If a Netsafe VCC is cancelled by the account holder than the amount will be credited to his/her account after one day even when the VCC is created from Debit Card
The remaining amount of a semi utilized VCC will be credited to his/her account after 3 days when the VCC is created from Debit Card. Previously it was 35 days !

Reliance introduces new postpaid broadband plans for 2012

Reliance Communications had recently introduced new plans in their wireline postpaid category. These are some of the good plans from Reliance which are free from FUP crap which Airtel is imposing on their customers. These plans have no loop holes or any special terms and conditions.

Though these plans look attractive at first sight but i will still recommend my readers not to go with Reliance because of the frequent problems which their network face from time to time. They really are not as reliable as Airtel. But still you can give them a try as they are offering free installation now a days.

Also the coverage of Reliance is much less as compared to Airtel.

Reliance now not including telephone set with new connections for combo plans.

As per my latest conversation with Reliance customer care, they are not providing telephone sets with new connections of combo plans. The customer has to make arrangement themselves for the set.

This move from reliance will give their prospective customers another chance before finalizing their bond with Reliance. Just few months back Reliance had implemented advance monthly rental for all broadband plans for all of their customers (new and old both).
