Yes, rcom is bakwas. I used its services for more than 6 months in 2009 regular but many time network busy says and no calls for 1 or 2 hours and also friend have problem that it says network busy. That time i loss my favorite mobile number because of no portability.
And no problem if they hike rate we can change operator easily. Portability should be for dth too.
