      in the border of ernakulam and idukki district in kallorkad panchayath there is no coverage for arounf 10km very bad situation here.if ther provide atleast one tower i can gurantee that aroung 10000 new connection will be added.now idea and vodafone have good coverage,due to lack bsnl coverage all the people here depend on private operators.

      I completely disagree with this. I felt BSNL is worst in Trivandrum and other parts of Kerala than other state. I am a Karnataka BSNL customer and BSNL mobile is best in Bangalore especially 3G. Some 5 years back BSNL was good in Kerala but now it is the worst. No proper coverage and no voice clarity
