On 22nd april 2020, i sent an e-mail to act support requesting them to upgrade my then monthly blaze plan (100mbps) to 6+1 month blaze plan (100mbps) with new free router. On 25th april 2020, act team respondedsaying my request is taken into count and my plan has been upgraded to 'act blaze 6m + wifi_ft' & also the new router would be sent by eod, next day (E-mail confirmation could be seen in act_response 1 attachment). Act executive came & replaced the router the very next day. I thought, things are normal.
On 2nd may 2020, i received the monthly bill for may!! I thought, it's an error since they have already sent the router & confirmed in e-mail that my plan has been upgraded. But, on 16th may 2020, i received a suspension notification from act. I called up the customer care & to my shock the act customer care executive confirmed that mine was a monthly plan and not 6+1 month plan. Then i told him the story from 22nd april 2020. He confirmed to correct their records and confirm over e-mail. I don't believe in oral communication and thus i wrote an e-mail to act on 16th may 2020, highlighting the issue and asking them to send me 6+1 month bill and not monthly bill. I said, i'm not gonna pay monthly bill because it's wrong from act end. On 17th may 2020, act team responded over e-mail confirming the plan upgrade and asking me to pay the bill in june'2020 since they work on advance billing. (E-mail confirmation could be seen in act_response 2 attachment).
21st may 2020 - lockdown days, working from home, i woke up to see that act team suspended my account!!! Their e-mail on this is a proof of their double standards & irregularity. (E-mail on the same could be seen in act_response 3 attachment). I immediately raised complaint with act and they said, it's gonna take 72hrs to resolve the issue. Since me and my wife were having important office meetings scheduled, i didn't want to risk too much. I paid the bill of 7248/- on the same day and sent an e-mail confirming the same to act support. New account was created and my internet connection was reinstated in 24hrs. But, i lost time, had to skip fe meetings, and reschedule a lot!!!
Now, after all this what should i expect? On june 3rd, barely within 15days of this drama, i have been now sent a bill on rs.100/- quoting as delayed payment fee!!! (E-mail on the same could be seen in act_response 4 attachment). I have tried escalating this issue, but no response from act for the last 6days... (E-mail sent to their escalation id bounced!!! Please check out act_response 5 attachment).
So, with all this, i have come to the confirmation that act fibernet has become highly irresponsible and are actually cheating the consumer. They don't even have the courtesy to apologize for the errors happened at their books/end. I have lost all my trust with them and do not recommend act fibernet to anyone. Highly unprofessional.
ACT Fibernet customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
