Internet down for 5 days. And counting. No resolution still.

My Airtel fiber internet went down around 5pm on 17th May. Even today, after multiple follow up calls to Airtel Customer Support their technical team has not even bothered to visit my home to troubleshoot the problem. Each time I call I am assured that my problem will be resolved expeditiously. But nothing happens. I have made about 10 calls over the last 6 days. The case has even been escalated. But no resolution in sight. I just got a call...

Refund for double recharge

Q. Hello i had recharged my airtel mobile number with inr 179 and had activated a pack for next 28 days.

Next using 'Gpay' i had recharged the same number mistakenly of inr 179and pack for next 28 days.

I contacted airtel for refund/to credit that to talk time at least as it doesn't make sense to use both same packs by paying double the price.

Now they were not ready to refund it as it was done...

Airtel does not allow calls to Jio

I see that whenever I try to call a Jio number from my Airtel, the phone does not even go through to a ring. It just disconnects without even connecting to a network and I do not even get a message of not reachable etc. While on the other side the phone is within network, and I can call to a BSNL on my friends dual sim. Also, the same time my friends are able to call back if I send an SMS stating I am not able to call. This is not an issue...

This month again I was charged Rs 1348 + taxes...

2 months back I have cleared all my postpaid bills and got the number disconnected since it was lost. I went to the store they told me to request it online. I made the customer care executive do it. Still they are generating the bills and calling me to pay the bills. How do I get a solution?? Now my bill is 1500. I don't want to pay anything else since this is not my mistake....
