I wholeheartedly agree with the review. My experience with the sifygold is similar. I got a free 100 hours package from sify through HCL computers when I purchased a new computer. They were billing 17 minutes for a 2 minute 10 second actuall call. The reasoning minimum pulse 5 minutes plus port charge of 12 minutes. What a strategy! This is called ingenuity.
If u use more than 2 minutes u have to pay 17 minutes and even if u just connect -0 seconds-they charge u for 5 seconds. When the account was about to expire the man from Sify (He is nameless, faceless, numberless, id-less) contacted me just like u described. And he promised a lot which I came to know later was plain cheating. He offered a free 100 hours for a package of 100 hours at Rs.999/-, plus a gift of a travelling bag, a CD for installation and 25% more powerful surfing and download(how I don't know).
Even at this stage I did not fall for his false promise. I told him MTNL'S RATE is only Rs.6/- per hour. And u can pay this along with your telephone bill after 3-4 months. No advance payment.
Then he told me my telephone bill will be 40% less because Sify(Satyam.net.in) pulse rate is 5 (day)and 10(night-after 10.30) through a special arrangement with MTNL. (MTNL's pulse rate for internet calls are 3&6 respectively). When I expressed doubt about this HE was very indignant and reminded me SATYAM IS VERY REPUTED COMPANY IN THE IT BUSINESS.
THEY DON'T MISGUIDE PEOPLE BY FALSE PROMISES. I also thought so and agreed for renewal of 100 hours package. It was a Sunday and the next day I checked my account through my office computer and what I found? They cheated me like u mentioned.
They have given me 149 hours and 33 minutes ACCESSS! That means they are giving me 150 hours instead of 200 as promised by THEIR ANONYMOUS REPRESENTATIVE. SO I AM GOING to cancell this registration and not going to use it at all unless they give me 200 hours as promised.
