ACT Fibernet Complaints & Reviews

I had paid ACT broadband for installation in feb -2015, but due to some technical reasons the installation was put on hold with no sign of refunding my money, again in August i contacted them, they took it as iam applying to a new connection again and havent installed so far and i complain to their customer service about this, they have offered to refund which i've not received till now, when i contact sales person he'll always makes up some stories for not installing, iam very unhappy with their service and wont recommend it to anyone

But no response yet.

Dear Sir,

Writing this mail on concerns on "Inadequecy to serve us and I am forced to Discontinue your service" Due to your Inadequecy to serve us and non refunds.

Documenting Tele conversion.

Mohhamad Feroz : Reported as Floor Manager (Act Fibernet)
Kishore: Reported from Refunds Department.

Feroz : Requests us to put box at our premises,
Anil : This is not possible, I stay at rent. Can not afford to have any commercial gadget at home.
Anil : We have paid bulk money to get your service for life time, such that i expect no disconnection of internet without notice.

I use internet for doing office work for my convinenece, I experienced monetory loss due to internet disconnection without notice,

Appeal for disconnection from me is as I am forced to discontinue the service as ACT Fibernet is unable to Provide service. As they dont have proper infrasturucture to serve their customers and have to depend on customers to put Settop Box.

This was not informed to me at the time of availing service, and now when an unknow person denies to keep the box, i suffer a loss and metal agony because of ACT Corp.

Anil : Can you continue to give us Service,
Kishore: NO, if he cannot find some one to put the box (which is not Anil's liability)

Anil : As of that result i am forced to quit connection which would incur the following loss of money and Time wich I can not Afford because of your inability.

Your failure is a Loss to me, Sorry and Regrets dont add any value to me. Your Sorry leads me to incurr a payment to some other vendor which I have to look for.

I claim for the loss and Mental Agony created during the working hours of an Employee.

Loss of Refund, any payment that involves me to get a new internet conection for me.


Please Respond this mail Athoritatively. Hoping there would not be any need of escaltion from this point.

Reagards,
Anil.

We had applied for a GX connection through ACT fibrenet on June 17, 2015 in jayanagar 5th block, Bangalore and paid Rs.3910/- towards the same. The same is yet to be installed to date. Our customer ID is 1208971 and username is 11235015. We have raised multiple complaints regarding the same with no solution provided by the company so far. The complaint numbers are as follows [protected], [protected],[protected]. all these complaints show a resolved status when the problem actually persists and the GX is not installed. We would like a full refund of the extra money paid towards the GX box since the company is not interested in installing the same. One of the Company executives even told us that they were not in a position to install a GX box since that would get the company to loose out on 8 other connections. In that case why does ACT even offer the same to customers and collect money towards something they are not interested on providing? The experience with ACT has been terrible. The call center has also not been of much help in resolving this issue. Right now we have decided not to pay our current monthly bill until we receive our money back because of which the ACT has had the audacity to disconnect our connection. We need a full refund of the extra money paid!!

I have referred my family for beam & they Reg mobile no -[protected] I have not received the movie tickets & a part from that they have use the services for 1 day & next onwards they services are gone many complaints are given No one is bothered & just beg us for not disconnecting "ACT sucks" The management are suckers nothing else just promises..!

ACT has started harrassing us again!! Even when we have paid the bill in time i.e. on 12th of aug, suddenly we started getting threatning calls from their employees from 20th August, forcing to pay Rs. 500 to them, for what we dont know!! Even they are not ready to tell what they are asking these extra Rs. 500 for when we have paid the monthly bill?? The employee was threatening us that if we dont pay, she will disconnect our connection but on asking again and again, she was not ready to tell us what was that extra Rs. 500 for?? And today, from yesterday night they have disconnected our connection!! Which we still dont know why?? We have already written so many mails to them asking for the reason of that extra Rs. 500 asked for but nobody even bothers to respond to our mails as well!! What a pathetic service!!!

They cheated me twice in the name of Refer Neighbor Offer on there application. This Referral trap to just converting our neighbor or friend as there customer. Finally they will cheat you by not giving referral benefits. As a existing customer of ACT i faced it.. Thanks..

Hi I have been on ACT broadband since an year and now as the demand on high speed connections has increased over last few months, service has gone rogue most of the time.. Im experiencing frequent disconnections lasting for 2 days on an average thrice a month ... Im on fastest and expensive plan paying 2300/- per month and staying in one of the city 's prime localities .. Indiranagar ... For quite some time, i have stopped depending on this unreliable service and maintaining a second option too. Nodal office concept is utter nonsense here and all they do is send a pre desingned template mail saying they are looking into it . airtel, bsnl are far better in service, im shifting to airtel soon.

I have shifted my home to new location addess and submmited a request to transfer my beam or ACT braodband connection to new address on Aug 2nd, 2015 through Beam customer care number [protected]. I called multiple times, numerous tickets were raised and everytime the customer care agent will only say one sentence "our backend team will get back to you". New address is within the reach of beam coverage area and my neighbour in same apartment uses beam ACT connection. Please find the ticket numbers for the same, I have raised multiple tickets requesting to transfer and none of my tickets were resolved and beam also closed them giving false promises and without resolution.

On 11 Aug 2015, i had visited the Chandanagar branch of ACT Fibernet(Beam fiber) for getting details on my deactivation request and refund process of my money which i had already for 6 months pack. I had already my renewal for May 25th - Nov 25th (6 months) by paying 4017 on May 3. (Account number : 631621) Due to recent issues on wrong usage reports and worst customer services, i wanted to deactivate my request immediately and get the money refunded for remaining 3 months not going to be used.(Sept, Oct, Nov). As per Chandanagar Technical Lead person (dont know name), mentioned that just raise a refund ticket for this issue and we will get the refund processed within 15 days in form of Cheque to desired address that we need to have it. After raising the ticket, I am getting a call on 12th Aug 12 pm, saying that they cannot refund the amount at all and while i am explaining my case clearly to the representative, he hanged the phone call wantedly while i am still speaking to him. Being in same companies, each person says their own rules and playing games with customers. It had been 4 days now, no progress or calls are being done. I need the refund to be processed asap.

This is to inform you that I was one of the old customers of Beam Cable (Act Fiber), residing at Arambh Township at Serilingampalli. I had received a postal mail from Act Fiber in the month of Feb'15 stating the Act Fiber may not be able to provide the service at our gated community as the township association is not allowing Act Fiber to do business (Refer to the 1st attachment). But my 6 months subscriptions was getting over by April'15. When I called up your customer care, they assured that I would be getting the uninterrupted service and they asked me to renew the subscription by making the payment for 6 months and I did so. (Refer to the 2nd attachment). However, in the month of June 1st week, I was facing internet disconnection problem and I made several complain and at last I was frustrated and went to your headoffice located at banjara hills and office staff confirmed that Act Fiber cannot provide the service in your area and amount will be refunded and they raised the ticket (Refer to 3rd attachment). Also Headoffice staff took my full name to issue Cheque for refund as well but no further confirmation from Beam office. Headoffice staff informed that I would receive call for confirmation and I did receive the call but I was informed that it would take 10 days to get approval for refund. I had received the call between 20th June to 24th June'15. But after that I did not receive any confirmation call or any refund money. Hence, on 8th July, I had sent email to Nodal office from my personal email id([protected]@yahoo.com) to nodal office (nodalofficer.[protected]@actcorp.in & appellate.[protected]@actcorp.in) mentioning all of the above details. On 9th July'15, I had received the call from Act fiber (Beam) Nodal office (from phone #[protected]) stating that within 2 days they will call again to confirm the refund amount and within 15 days I will receive the cheque via courier. Neither I received confirmation call on refund amount nor did I receive any cheque. On 26th Jul, again i emailed to Nodal office asking about the refund money, on 31st July'15 again i received call from Nodal office (#[protected]) and the lady said by 7 days I will be getting the check via courier and she took my complete name to issue the cheque. But still did not received. They have been committing to pay the refund but not yet received. I have attached the documents. Kindly look into this and help to get the refund amount. Regards, Somadutta De Email - [protected]@yahoo.com

Request no [protected]. I have made request for refund on 21-jul-2015 & was told that refund will be issued by NEFT transfer in 7 days. Even i received sms on 12th August saying issue is resolved. I have done multiple call to customer care at[protected]& even mailed with bank passbook copy to show that no such NEFT Transfer is reflecting in my bank account.I am not even getting any response inspite of sending multiple mails to [protected]@acttv.in.So please see that some effort is put to reslove the issue as i see no response from act broadband. I had to approach this site as there is no response from act broadband inspite of contracting them on their official customer care phone no as well as mail id. Hope at least complaining this forum will helps. Thank you

#Beam #Act horrible service ever and my experience with technicians. Place : Indira Nagar. My net was disconnected on 18 July Complaint Registered: 19 July Reason: Set up box current supply stopped by house owners. Escalated to costumer care: July 19, 21, 22, 27...approximately 10+ times including technicians. Told them that I don't want to pay as service was horrible. No solution and even asked for disconnection. Even no response but bill was generated.. Alternative solution given by extraordinary technician: Please give permission to give supply from ur room otherwise u can have direct connection with 2500/- (dumbest solution) Who wants to take this kind of response as a customer... No payment will be done and no need of #act #fibre

Good afternoon, This is Krishna vasu i reside at Shivarampally(Raghavendra Colony). I have been your customer for a long time. Recently, I shifted place and I am looking forward to continuing with you, PROVIDED u agree to give me a connection at my new residence. It's absolutely pathetic and frustrating that you deny giving me your connection when I do see your advertisements in my area. I received a text regarding ACT Fiber net Connection. i have spoken with 1 of your customer service executive & shared the required details & he confirmed regarding the connectivity "Saying that sales team will reach you soon" everything was absolutely fine till hear. I really appreciate for it. This conversation happened on 13th August 2015 I received a call from Sale Executive @ 2.45 PM on 14th August 2015. Concern person name: Afsaar, called from : [protected]. The way he approaching was rough & not ready to share any details saying that you will not get internet connection for next 2 or 3 months & in telephonic conversation he was trying to pass a message stating that you will get the connection in an odd manner. i was really surprised. i want you people to have a look into this issue as many people like me in the colony are interested to get the Act fiber internet connect for residential purpose. The executive would have handled the conversation in a better way it's about integrity & customer approach before you starting business with the every individual. I need you to resolve my issue. I am your returning customer; you cannot treat me like this. All I am asking is a internet connection, is it that freaking troublesome for you to provide me one when a customer is so desperate and doesn't want to move to another vendor??? Regards, Krishna Vasu

Ef: ACT complaint # [protected] which was opened on 12th Aug, I was told that the issue ( internet not working/ No connection) will be resolved by 13th Aug, 8 PM, what I see in the message that I got about 2 PM is totally different - the complaint has been closed without solving. I called up their customer care to let them know and they re-open my complaint and say that it will get resolved by tomorrow 8 PM. My question is what if they do the same thing tomorrow as well? Moreover how can they close the complaint when the issue is not resolved/ without checking with the customer. I found their services as pathetic and will advise everyone to refrain from their services. I logged an online complaint too and the message that I see on it post complaint gets logged is astonishing - it says we will get back to you post 8 working days!! I mean who in the earth waits for 8 long days in a metro like Bangalore for a service provider to respond to find out the problem, I am not talking about the time that they will take to resolve the issue here. These guys are living in stone age when it comes to fixing issue - service is not just about providing high speed, it's also about minimizing the downtime, someone tell them please.

I write this complaint in order to register my massive dissatisfaction against ACT’s so-called Internet Service, which is nothing but a sham – and also to warn potential buyers against purchasing this fraudulent service.

The following are my Details:
TICKET NUMBER: 3321574| ACCOUNT NUMBER: 1245179 | USER ID: 11285920

I was visited by a representative from ACT on 1st August, 2015 (Saturday); who collected from me a payment of Rs. 1700 (for the monthly connection) and all relevant documents.

After this, on 3rd August, I was contacted by the Vendor who called me in the midst of my Office hours and I had to leave my work and come home to ensure that the Connection is fixed. He, however, after almost an hour informed me that there was some technical issue with the server box in my area (1st ‘N’ Block, Rajajinagar) and hence, the Connection could not be made on that day.

I called up the ACT representative immediately; complained as to why he had taken money and documents from me when he should have known that the connection could not be established in my area due to the technical error; and told him to send someone on 8th August 2015 (Saturday) for fixing my Connection. He confirmed the same and also said that the technical problem will be rectified by then.

However, on the said Saturday, the same representative who looked so helpful while collecting the money had blocked my Number after I tried calling him. He blatantly lied to me that someone will be coming to fix the Connection; whereas on being contacted, the same person said that he is on Leave that day. Subsequently, after registering a Complaint (No. [protected]) the next day, i.e. Sunday; I was informed that the connection will be activated by Wednesday.

On 11th August 2015 (Tuesday), I was visited by the Cable–laying person from ACT who informed me that the Engineer would call me the following day and activate my connection. However, on being contacted, I received no response from the Manager as well as Representative, whom I had called from another number (as my own number had been blocked by him – in all violation of professional/ moral ethics). On 13th August (Thursday), I finally could contact the ACT Engineer – but was very shocked to know that the technical issue in my area had not been resolved at all – and on being asked as to how much it would take to resolve it, I received a very light response from the ACT Engineer – “We don’t know Sir… We will see…”

This is tantamount to Fraud on the part of ACT, wherein the Company has not given me the promised Internet Service even after collecting all documents as well as the payment from me. ACT had also been extremely unprofessional in failing to inform me that there were technical problems, because of which the Connection could not be established.

I am contemplating taking legal action against ACT for fraud as well as mental harassment.

I have taken Act fibernet connection believing that this is the best provider in Hyderabad. Few days post new connection went very well as if this is the only provider with 99.99% uptime. As months passed by, every month my connection is getting deactivated for atleast 2-3 days and none of their technical representative cares to call even. I am truely fed up with their services . I appeal them either to give my amount for the downtime days on prorata basis back and also would not recommend to go for ACT. I am having a horrible experience with this provider. Moreover I fail to understand how cum a customer care number be prompted with a message " this customer is busy at the moment".Pathetic..Have a done great mistake choosing ACT. S R Pradhan [protected]

We have been a loyal customer to Beam Fibre from past 5 years . After they their name to ACT Fibernet, service levels dropped drastically. From last 3 months, I am facing network issues with them. Every alternate day internet is not working and i am really frustrated with their customer support. They mention the technician will attend in 24 hrs but no one will come till 2 - 3 days. We have paid ACT Fibernet for One Year subscription and now I am really helpless. We are suffering lot of business loss and moreover trauma. I request you to kindly take this complaint on top priority and ask them to refund our amount.

Please think many times before you decide to go for ACT Broadband. Their overall service quality and customer support channel is pathetic and also unethical to say in a nutshell. When I called them for a new connection a representative came and collected a check for INR 19, 152 and supporting documents for 1 year subscription for 50MBPS. I waited for 3 days and there was no information about the connection. I tried calling the sales person and also called their customer care center and logged a ticket. Even after this, there was no response for next 2 days and then I decided to cancel my connection request. I called their customer care center informing about this and asking them to return my check and also the documents. I also sent SMS to the sales person asking him to return the check and also logged a complaint through their website for the same. Again I called the customer care center (after couple of days) and they again logged another ticket for this to cancel and return the check. After this, there is no response from them for 1 week and the check and other documents were not returned. After again few days, I received call from their service engineers that they are coming for connection and I told them that I have already taken another connection and I also already cancelled the new connection request with ACT.
The interesting part now, is that after almost 1 week after all these, ACT folks had suddenly deposited my check for collection (without providing connection) and thankfully, since I had already made a stop payment request to my bank, the payment got stopped.
It is really surprising that these kind of cheaters are in the established broadband market and not sure how they are getting along with this kind of methods.
Regards,
Sriram
