So, I recently got MTNL broadband.

You can read about that https://broadband.forum/mtnl-broadband/57848-mtnl-broadband-new-connection-user-experiences/

I was quite impressed.

Recently a member @swapnilrk2004 convinced me to purchase MTNL's IPTV services. So now I shall post experience and update this thread regularly.

I called 126555 as per MTNL's website. At first I thought it was the wrong number since i heard "Welcome to Aksh Optifibre, Press one for iControl". Nevertheless I pressed 1 and almost immediately I had a CSR attend to me. I inquired about the services and I got good replies. The CSR's were competent and not one of the MTNL bhenji's I was expecting. I was told of the Rs.1499 Deposit and was offered two plans Rs229 Rs 199 and Rs.279 Rs.249.(The difference being No. of channels TimeShift was available on). I chose the Rs.279249 package and was asked to provide my address and telephone number and was informed that someone would come to collect a cheque and the connection would be done within a week.

So far so good.

No one came, No one called.

At about 5 in the evening I called 126555 in order to find out what was going on, This time I was on hold for about 2 minutes and had to cut as something came up.

I called back at around 6:30 and my call was answered immediately. I was assured that someone would come to collect the cheque on the 13th.

I did nothing

Got a call at 4:15, salesman came at 4:40 (5 minutes before the promised time:inodding:, He was decently dressed, knew what he was doing)
He filled in the form and cheque, I signed and he told me that the connection would be installed within seven days, It usually takes 4. Said I should not face any problems

Desperation is bad thing, and don't ever take decision so soon, read the reviews go for demo, evaluate it well than go for service if you like so.And i did NOTHING in this case. today i got my IPTV My Way installed in home...and i just reached with lot of excitement assuming i will enjoy near HD quality picture.and the myway horror story begins MTNL Present. it took 8 hits on remote to switch channel from one to another that mean if you go through 5 channels you have to hit more than 50 times to change channel. and 99% get hangs for ages. transition time is like you hit the channel button and it will take action till next president is selected in US.Just been 4 hours and i have taken my decision i am going to get it disconnected and moreover i wont ask them to refund me...instead i will pay them...to take this trash out of my house.Picture quality? Grrrrrrrr i thought Tata Sky has bad quality but i have realization within minute Tata sky is giving much better quality than IPTV..who are those poeples who claim IPTV has much better quality? do they have sense of evaluating picture quality? can they make difference between Bluray 1080p vs 420 ?IPTV has bad quality picture, User Interface is OK easy to understand.DON'T GO FOR IPTV MY WAY MTNL.Regards
