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.

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...

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...
