Airtel — Amount Taken but connection not installed

Reference Airtel Xstream Fibre Application No: [protected]
I purchased a new connection on 26th June, and was told to get it installed in 2 hrs. Due to the Airtel commitment I discontinued my existing internet connection.
Since then I have been following up continuously however the connection has not been installed until now.
Everyone a new person calls me and says we are coming in shortly and then doesn't turn up or say there is a network issue. Now I have been told that the connection can't be installed.
I have already paid Rs 2828 as advance rental and wasted a lot of time, it has impacted my job work too.
Being an existing long time customer i don't expect this from Airtel. Had i been communicated clearly on day one i could have retained my existing internet connection.
Could you please refund my paid amount as I have to get a new connection urgently.

I got this message today, which strangely says I'm not interested. Looks like Airtel was communicated that customer is not interested which is why they didn't install the connection.

Dear customer, your order for Airtel Broadband connection is pending with us. If you are not interested in the connection now, please share the code **** to the engineer and we will get back to you later.
