Sir,
The icici web trading site is dead for the time being JULY 24, 2005... I began trading at icici 6 months before.... but now getting cheated for the past 1 month....the website has become a junk....it does not work when u need it the most...say from 10 to 10.45 am and then at 2.30 to 3.30pm.....I might have lost aprox 4 to 5 lacs of trading profits. There are many issues.....either the site does not respond while clicking the login link, else it throws some stupid reason....’’site down due to technical reasons’’ (DURING TRADING HRS....CAN U BELIEVE THIS) or it says ’’The page cannot be displayed as the traffic exceeds the web site configured capacity’’.....stupid reason.....what I understood from my friend working at SCB is that icici had aprox 2 lac web trading customers...sometime end of march 05....and the web server capacity was aprox 2 lac...but since then icici has added 1.5 to 2 lac customers....but the server has not been upgraded.....that’s why we all experience problems frequently every 4 to 5 months..... now I guess they have setup some new servers in Hyd database ctr....I guess this will improve the performance many fold in the coming weeks.....even other trading portals have the same story....in India no one wants to invest in equipments/servers etc in advance before getting in customers...so this story will continue....it’s a cyclical issue....they will upgrade the servers once the customer base increase....and not the other way around like in US/Europe/Japan..there it’s give the best of facilities and then get in customers....like Hotmail/Yahoo/Amazon etc etc.....
