  WTF :s
  nomad dont cross da limit!!

• Luvnish

  I used nomad for 1 year… 1 year of placing modem near window when theres no connexion, which is almost everyday. Downloading naruto/bleach from the nomad website… the only website from which we got good speed.
  @ Tushal (the dumba55 who complains everyday about myT): compared to nomad, myT roxx!!!

• http://ncreations.blogspot.com Neelesh

  I was using nomad in year 2005ish something i guess. It was pure loss of money.

  I was very much disappointed with their service.

  Got MyT and still using MyT.

• http://www.tushal.net Tushal

  @Neelesh—>Should say. STUCK with myT. xD.

  Huh. tou sa dimoune la in gagne legal notice. LOL. Nomad #EPIC #FAIL

• Vim

  huh like always Nomad has always suck!!!

• Torpedo = Sky = Dodo

  @ Yashvin:
  “Months ago, I switched to MyT and I can confirm : “Nomad s*cks!””

  Man, i thought this matter was closed now after so many months after I first subscribed to comments on Nomad Rabbit…

  But, please, update yuor comment on Nomad about it sucking big time: MyT’s Fair Usage Policy also sucks big time!!

• http://www.yashvinblogs.com Yashvin

  @Torpedo : lol, c vraie. I have used the worst and compared to the worst, myT does much better.
  A drop in speed during peak hours, but it is good enough for me to browse the web.
  As for the FUP, I am not a big downloader. My luck

• Atish

  hiya, got the same letter on saturday, n the most suprising is that i switch to adsl in july 2009, n i return the rabit modem in the same month. When i called nomad to ask them for which month i haven’t pay, they told me for the month of september 2009.. They don’t really update their system.. Nomad is the worst ISP i know.. fink must sue zat company!!

• Anonymous

  Got the same letter 2days ago!

  Zot ine meme ggn toupE reclame Rs 100 pu sa papier Mise en demeure la. Nomad s*cks!

• http://nayarweb.co.cc Nayar

  I just contacted Nomad now. Their number was unreachable before. The stupid wait music was heard and then it got disconnected.
  When they took the phone finally @1705. I asked them why did i get such a letter. They told me to call tomorrow between 0800-1600 and ask for Ashwin so that he could check my file.

  I waited nearly 20 mins on the phone in total: My money is flowing. Would they pay for it if they say ‘Sorry Sir, it was a mistake’.

  That company needs to perish

• http://www.yashvinblogs.com Yashvin

  @Nayar : May be I am wrong, but that guy named “Ashvin” is the officer in charge of comms.
  He is the one who called me for the meeting which was never held.

  Just tell him that you reported the thing to Yashvin Awootar, and I said hi to him

• Inferno

  heureusement pu moi . moi mo servi myT ek mo camarad ti p servi nomad, kan mo ale kot li tu le tant li plaigner r moi lakoz so vitesse connection. dan 1 semain zis 3 jours ki li gagne connection ek li p dia moi ki line gagne ene letter depi nomad ki p reclame li rs 10000 si li pa retourne so nomad mais le problem est qur line return so nomad l’annier dernier. mo truv myT meiller pu servi. nerporte kan mo bizin browse the net li pa tarder zis dan ban peak days ek hours ki li tarder mais li xtra bon pu servi

• http://www.tushal.net Tushal

  Interesting. Feels as if Nomad will be having legal notices in return of their rubbish and fake claims. Did anyone ever tell the people at Nomad that it takes only a few second to update their whatever rubbish system they are using? Or do they still use filling cabinets to keep tons of papers?

• Frantz

  A friend got this letter too from them when he had nomad some years back.
  In fact in hiscase,

  1. He bought the modem. So normally he does not have return it back
  2. He called them to cancel his subscription and he did not have any amount due but some months later, they sent him this letter saying he owes Rs2500.
  3. They did not want to give explanation. and my friend went to pay at Sogerec since he had no written proof of the cancellation.

  In brief, NOMAD S@CK!!! WORST BUSINESS MANAGEMENT IN MAURITIUS

• vaiizard

  P paret ki mwa ossi mo cav gagne 1 lette come sa….Mo pa cone si mo encore garde sa ressi la… Mais mo pa trop casse tete coz zot pou surment rapel mwa apres sa bane joli coze zot ti tende coz zot ti prend 3 mois pou refund mwa Rs500. La aussi mo p gagne traca parceki p paret ki pa zis mo tousel kine zoure banla!!!!

• http://nayarweb.co.cc Nayar

  It is not a system error. It is done intentionally in case someone lost his receipt. He will be obliged to pay it.They bet on people’s bad luck

  That’s a big plan.

  ‘Bizin aret zot lelan’

• http://www.tushal.net Tushal

  @vaiizard–>moi mo ti ena 1 cam ki ti pe work kot Nomad. li dire moi mo dossier kot Nomad mari sale. xD. ban agents la ti pe per pou cose r moi telment mo ti pe zour zot ek maltraite banla.

  Mo pan trouve mo resi kot mo ti cancel la. pfffff. kot mo pou ale rode 1 receipt ki 4 ans old. kpv plis meme. who knows!!

• Hans

  Hi Yashvin I got one yay I am lucky person indeed LOL!!!!
  By the way are they dumb or something like that? I have written them a letter saying that I will not pay for the amount due because I have not got satisfaction with their services… I have also claimed that I will not go to ebene to return their equipments because I got other much more fruitful activities and I told them to send one of their agents to come and take back all their equipments. Also I told them in my letter that it was impossible to get in contact with them because their customer care services always put me on hold.

  This was what I wrote in the letter. Now one day, guess I was lucky, I got hold of one of their agents on the phone and he transfered the call to someone who got authorities I guess, he told me that since I have not been satisfied with the services, he will do a credit note to cancel the invoice.And also that he can send an agent to check if everything is ok with the equipments but the agents cannot take back their equipments!Wow what is the logic behind that?Moreover he told me that I could have called to inform them of my problem? AM I suppose to wait for hours on the phone (because they automatically put me on hold there)? Then the genius gave me an idea! Send a mail? What how? Internet not ok! Mail not ok! Is that difficult to understand for him that when there is no internet there is no access to email?

  Nomad s*ck big time!!!! Mone aret servi sa kuyonad la mwa plitot Emtel Broadband

• http://nayarweb.co.cc Nayar

  @all:
  You can never say ‘Mone aret servi sa kuyonad la’.
  Thats the greatest mistake you do in life.
  Nomad never forgets you. Sooner or later, they sue you.
  Beware

• http://izzytekniks.com Varun

  Heuh…mwasi mone gagne sa…i got a bill from them of 3 months unpaid alor ki mo ti fini cancel connection la….d’habitude zot phone or sms if smethg is wrong with your payment…but this time..after 3 months …bow ladan em…3 mois pane payer….kan phone zot zot dir connection pa ti couP….alor ki pa ti p gagne connection ditou lor modem la 2 weeks b4 mone fer coupe connection..alor, c zot ki doit mw 2 semain es la..
  As expected: NOMAD is a big failure…..I tell the maximum number of people…use Internet Cards…not NOMAD…..
  I just threw the letters away….. I prefer take them to court than pay them for a service I did nt benefit….Law is for evry1 afterall! so Get lost NOMAD…off this country!

• Atish

  hey dudes nomad must be sue!!!!! for fake claims!!!

• Anonymous

  mw mo dir bizin fer 1 group dimoune kine ggn sa lettre la poursuivre sa gg* nomad la en court!

• Mike

  Nomad is a typical example of how NOT to conduct business. They are alienating all their clients and possible clients who are aware of what is going on in Mauritius. A total lack of client relations and a disastrous administration. They are a sinking ship, if there was better competition on the local IP market they would have gone long ago. This is a failed attempt on their part to recover revenue. Furthermore, in certain cases they are probably acting illegally by making false claims but a lawyer from consumer protection could confirm this.

• Kevin

  Janvier 2010 mo contrat Nomad ti termine. Dapres contrat bisin avoye 1 lettre pou annule abonnement. Mo avoye 1 lettre desam 2009, mais pou fevrier, mars, avril, may zot bill moi.

  After several tries to call Nomad for two days, no one is answering my call.
  I think i would disregard that letter.
  ‘Zot problem are zotte’.
  I can’t take all my time after school phone them while it being unsuccessful.

• http://nayarweb.co.cc Nayar

  @Darenchamp

  Do you still have the return invoice?

  If yes, just forget about Nomad. Let them get tired suing you.

  If they take it to court, just show your receipt their when asked and sue them back on the spot.

• http://nayarweb.co.cc Nayar

  I got a re warning letter today. Content: http://nayarweb.co.cc/forum/thread-154.html

  They still persist on this issue.

  The sum has been raised to Rs 8020.35

  Tell everyone to stop using Nomad ASAP. If needed, share your internet connection with with them. Nomad needs to close NOW!!!

• Darenchamp

  nan mo pena
  P roD partout mais pa P gagner :’(

• Darenchamp

  @nayar mwasi mne regagne 1 lot lettre

• http://nayarweb.co.cc Nayar

  To all those who got this letter or similar:

  We need to talk and take a decision.

  I need to get your email addresses. Maybe you could give Yashvin the authorization to give me your emails.

  Then, we could unite our powers and take a good move. Alone, we will fail as they got law in their hands.

  If you know any alternatives, please tell

  Best Regards
  Nayar

• http://www.tushal.net Tushal

  It will be fun to see Nomad suing all those guys and when those guys will give their proof that they already returned their rubbish rabbit. Why don’t you guys in turn serve nomad a legal notice?

• http://nayarweb.co.cc Nayar

  @Tushal: Thats why we need to join together

  Contact me at njoolfoo(at)gmail.com to all those who got this letter.
