Cut off, frustration builds up among subscribers in city<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, homes and workplaces have been hit hard. Children have missed online classes and employees working from home struggled with deadlines. Corporate hospitals and diagnostic labs lost broadband connectivity, while several mobile towers remained down, further weakening coverage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are forced to recharge costly mobile data packs every other day, but even calls drop constantly,\u201d said a Kukatpally resident. A software engineer from Ameerpet added: \u201cI lost work-from-home days because of this. My company has warned me. The government and operators are blaming each other, but it is we consumers who are paying the price.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others echoed the frustration. \u201cCable operators are asking me to pay the bill without providing services,\u201d said Anji Konaseema. A diagnostic lab technician in Banjara Hills said, \u201cOur entire system depends on broadband to upload patient reports. For weeks, we\u2019ve been relying on unstable mobile hotspots. Patients are suffering.\u201d Another consumer, Sowmya, recounted how a new connection was cut just two hours after installation.<\/p>\n
Across Telangana, there are 3.5 crore telecom service connections and nearly 1 crore internet and cable connections. \u201cRestoration has stalled because the snapping continues. If the government regularises COAL tax, we can replace all this with one line carrying 100 fibre wires. That will both solve the mess and beautify the city. We have already submitted this proposal, but until then we need time and cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the TGSPDCL defended its actions, saying only cables hanging below 15 feet or lying unused were being removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cut off, frustration builds up among subscribers in city Meanwhile, homes and workplaces have been hit hard.
