I am a BPL mobile subscriber from last eight months.Their service in maharastra is good but when it comes to coverage areas I don’t find anything new. I always visit their site to find new areas coming under coverage. But sadly I do not find any new area added under their coverage I notice them when I travel through those locations. Highway coverage is average (except Mumbai Pune express highway where the network never fails). Some highways are partially covered. Frankly speaking BPL has no plans to improve and add new areas under coverage in maharastra and goa.
In this case ’Idea’ and BSNL is better in all terms. BPL only concentrates on urban areas. Even in city their coverage is just above average but their quality is dropping down. Idea is improving rapidly and bringing more and more areas under its coverage but BPL is there where it was previously. No improvment at all. Idea is setting up 80 -100 more towers in maharastra and Goa to improve their quality and they have promised to do it in just a month. Let’s watch. I am planning to move to IDEA in next two months if BPL do not improve.
