Complaint Regarding Poor Customer Service and Delay in Fiber Connection Disconnection

I would like to formally raise a complaint regarding the extremely poor customer service I experienced with Airtel Fiber.

When I initially contacted customer care to inquire about disconnecting my fiber connection, I was informed that whenever I wished to discontinue the service, I could simply call customer care and the disconnection would be processed within 5 minutes.

However, when I called again two days...

Poor network and frequent call drop

Address: Kondapur, Hyderabad

I am extremely disappointed with Airtel’s network service. I have been facing frequent network issues and repeated call drops, which are seriously affecting my ability to make and receive calls.

I have already raised this issue multiple times and escalated it to the Appellate Authority, but despite repeated complaints, there has been no effective or lasting resolution.

This is no longer an occasional issue—it...

Extremely disappointed and frustrated with the current state of the Airtel Thanks app! Ever since Airtel decided to shut down Wynk Music, the HelloTune activation and management system has become a complete disaster. The in-app search engine is completely broken and totally useless.

When trying to search for standard and popular Bengali songs (such as tracks from the movie 'Angaar'), the database fails to fetch the actual...

RE: Speed Issue Ticket Ref: 31-1000015314953 SLA Breached

I am an Airtel Xstream AirFiber customer (Account: [protected]) subscribed to a 40 Mbps plan. For the past 3 weeks, my download speed has been severely throttled to ~1 Mbps–10 Mbps, making the internet connection unusable.
Notably, my upload speed remains normal at 49 Mbps with low latency (12ms), confirming that local cell tower signal, reception, and router hardware are functioning properly. The issue is a backend profile provisioning...

I am filing this complaint against Airtel for deficiency in service and misleading advertisement. I have recharged my Airtel prepaid number with the ₹349 plan, which clearly includes the benefit of "Unlimited 5G Data." The Airtel Thanks app confirms that my plan is eligible for Unlimited 5G, and I am using a 5G-compatible smartphone in a 5G coverage area. However, as soon as my daily high-speed data limit is exhausted, my mobile internet...

My Airtel prepaid connection validity expired on 5th June 2026 midnight. I missed to recharge in 6th June. When I tried to recharge on 7th June using Airtel thanks app, I didn't receive OTP from the bank since my incoming calls and SMS is blocked. I never expected that incoming blocks within grace period of 15 days (referred Airtel website blog post).
TRAI should take necessary action on behalf of the consumers.

During the installation attempts, wiring...

My Airtel number was deactivated for re-verification without any prior SMS, reminder, call, or notification. The number had an active yearly recharge plan worth Rs. 2249, and the validity is being wasted while the SIM remains inactive. Despite multiple visits to the Airtel store, submission of an NOC, completion of KYC, and issuance of a replacement SIM, the reactivation process continues to face delays with no clear resolution. The customer...

Despite raising immediate priority complaints via the Airtel App, the 121 helpline, a physical visit to the Mumbai Naka branch, and escalating to the Nodal Officer, Airtel failed to dispatch a technician to resolve the issue, severely paralyzing my law office operations for 3 continous...

Activation of Static IP

Absolutely pathetic experience with Bharti Airtel. It took Airtel more than 15 days just to activate a Static IP for my home network, and during this entire period all they did was waste my time with useless IVR loops, fake callback promises, and completely irresponsible support staff. My bill amount was increased immediately, but the actual service was not properly activated.

I literally wasted entire days chasing Airtel support,...
