why achievement is so low in jk & ne ?
Happy to hear bsnl is doing well.If you can also give the number of active customers that is VLR. As per trai data lowest VLR is for bsnl. Just adding connection does not turn up bsnl's revenue. VLR should be high to increase the ARPU. Can you give an article about revenue and ARPU of bsnl in each circle and improvement made in this year.
yesterday i cant able to connect bsnl 3g, called customer care, a girl with cute voice and polite attitude, attended, solved the issue in a minute. bsnl rocks !!!
