Mukesh Ambani controlled Reliance Industries Limited has chalked out plans for a private PAN-India GSM network to power the backend of Reliance Retail and other new ventures[ Oil Retailing and Reliance SEZ]. Mukesh Ambani, the big embracer of CDMA has embarassed the CDMA community [J/K] by opting for a combination of GSM and WiMax technologies to power his Retail and SEZ dreams.
This network will be the backbone for entire Mukesh Ambani’s group operations. After the division of Reliance Empire, RIL shifted its entire Mobile communications business to Bharti Airtel Ltd and Leased and Wireline business to BSNL. RIL will invest $750 Million to build this network and should be a cake walk for Mukesh this time. But the real challenge ahead of Mukesh is to obtain the license and GSM spectrum.

Folks,
I am now worried by applying to RELIANCE WIMAX.
I applied for a RELIANCE WIMAX connection past 2 weeks. I still havent got any connecion yet though. I am tired of calling the executives each and every day atleast for 3 times. I get a tailor made answer as “Your connection is under process, you will get the connection in next 3 days”. Now a days no one is responding to my call at all. If I try from other no. they give me the above mentioned response 🙁 I dont know when will i be getting my connection.
Even if i get my connection in next couple of days, I am worried whether the installation process will be successfull or not, if not again how bad do I need to struggle. More over i am not getting a direct contact to RELIANCE.
These ppl are bastards, no sort of work culture in their company.
I got the technicians to come to my place it was not a location where i could get the connection. ALAS
Hi Jackson Philips,
maybe it is a good thing you didnot get a wimax connection.
their services are definitly bad for your bp.
Reliance is anything but reliance.Wimax service sucks
I applied for the connection on July 27 th more than 50 days… no connection no calls Tharun and Irfan in bangalore are cheats! Please dont deal with them.
Guys listen to this i called up one M/s Reliable enterprises for the reliance WiMax connection, got their phone number from this link –
http://convergence.in/blog/2007/06/05/reliance-wimax-in-bangalore-up-and-running/
i asked them for a demo, and they said that they do not have a WiMax connection to give a demo. I asked them why they do not have a demo and they said that in their area they do not have coverage – NO SIGNALS. Here we have a company selling WiMax connections who themselves do not have network coverage, then you only imagine the plight of us consumers.
Basically we are all BAKRAS for these companies who test their product on us………….. CAreful guys 9 out of 10 reviews are negative for Reliance WiMax BroadBand, stick to something tried and trusted such as BSNL or AirTel.
On a particular post on mouthshut.com someone had said that the BSNL customer care is better than reliance, so now you onyl think how their services are. Even they are bad in billing also, some of my friends are having issues with their mobile phone billing.
You still want to take a connection, I wish you all the best.
I got Connection on Sat, Sep 29, 2007, the Person name Manjunath came to install the tower outside and told there is DHCP issie today and will be rectified EOB, but till Monday night it was as it is. I called up Reddy )Head Bangalore) he told there is some problem in Munbai DHCP Server which is not assinging IP address, but would be fixed on Monday, Today is Wednessday, no body is there to take care about costumer at all.
They are simply cheaters, bastards, fucking, what all you can say is less.
Guys,
This Wimax really sucks. I have taken it a month back. I promise you that from the day of installation there is no day without a problem. I keep on calling customer care stupids without any use. THe common answers i get are :
1. our server is down i cannot lodge a complaint. I am forwarding an offline mail on urgent basis. Ur problem will be rectified soon
2. We are working on ur problem. our engineer will come to ur site and work on this.(Its 1 month no body even bothered to call me)
I strongly recommend not to go with reliance.

hi guys,
I am from Bangalore. I took the wimax connection from reliance. The service is pathetic.
Please don’t go with the Reliance Wimax connection.
There DHCP server will be down some twice or thrice in a week (I have experienced it). Apart from this, there is some serious problem with their instrument (indoor). If you call their customer care, they will give you a call report number. There after you keep on calling them. Every time they will say the same thing, “We will look into the matter”.
I am tasting the same thing for last 4 days and no action has been taken.
So guys, I will advice every body “NOT TO GO WITH RELIANCE ” .
