My landline number 4051593 associated internet has been very very bad. Everywhere Airtel provides 100gb to my area which is main in my city Salem they are providing only 2 mbps speed n that too keep disconnected last two weeks the connection was very pathetic. And also with kids exam goin on and repeated request to keep the connection good exactly on exam time the connection got very very poor and affect my kids one in higher grade none in lower grade exam by missing 20mins of their time. No response where ever i complain. Worstest service ever provided by Airtel. I was promised to increase the speed in two months it’s been 1.6 years yet no steps taken to increase the speed. Airtel is looting the customers n loosing its bloody reputation. Airtel is taking us backwards than forward. My kids n me are mentally hurt by their bad service.

      Hello,
      This is to inform you that -
      For the past few days, I have been trying to downgrade my broadband plan to @499 from @799 per month. However, there is no option to do that from the airtel thanks app or via the Website portal.
      I have tried contacting customer care, it only redirects me to the airtel thanks app along with the repeated jargon. You can't even speak to a human representative.
      I have tried contacting the nodal officer, there is no response from them, it seems that the guidelines from GOI were never given enough importance.
      I don't think this is how customer support works.
      The fact that you can only upgrade and not downgrade is very shady and unethical.
      Therefore I request you to do the needful as early as possible without me escalating this any further.

        My number has been reissued to someone else. I have been a loyal customer for almost 6 continuous years.

        I couldn't recharge my sim for 3-4 months for some reason. But I still I was using that number on WhatsApp and other social media. When my friends told me somebody else picked up the call, only then I realised that my number is given to somebody else. Neither your customer care nor the Digboi Airtel office could be of any help as the number is not registered to me anymore. They said all I can do now is try to convince the person to surrender his sim which is hardly a week old. Now the thing is I need my number back which is linked to my Google account and social media. Thank God it wasn't linked to my Bank. If that person wants he can take control of my data. Just an OTP away.
        See deactivating my number is fine. I understand all that. But how on earth do you take my number and give it to somebody else?

        I want my number back. My female friends who called that number thinking that's me get multiple callbacks despite them telling me it's a wrong number and it's low-key harassment. One of them got 20 missed calls. I want this resolved. If harassment further continues I will file an FIR against the sim holder and the sim issuer that'll be you.
        Just give me back my number safely before things turn ugly.

          Address: Beltola

          Dear Team,
          My brother is holding Airtel no [protected] which was registered in the name of my father Bijoy Krishna Das. Since since 9th his no was not working so he went to Airtel Beltola branch located at survey. He explained the problem upon listening to his query they respond that it was in your father name this can't be transferred so you have to convert it to post paid plan with month plan around 450-500.in the beginning to convert they have charged 250.
          In this regard I want to have clear information that is it not possible to continue with the pre paid plan he being student will not be able to continue with such high monthly plan of post paid
          Thanks & Regards
          Biswajit Das

                  Got message by saying recharge was failed and I have performed an other transaction. but later amount deducted twice and got two messages by saying two successful transactions. A transaction should be successful or failed but how come a single transaction failed initially and succeeded later.

                  I performed 2nd transaction because it was clearly mentioned transaction failed.

                  Payment of Rs. 79.0 attempted via Airtel Thanks App through Net Banking has failed. Order Id :[protected]. If money has been deducted, please wait for 2-7 days for a refund or contact your bank.

                          Address: Surya Bhavan, Aravinda Nagar 2nd Lane, Berhampur, ODISHA, 760001

                          I have registered a complaint 47468388 for my DTH connection [protected]-001 on 5th Aug 2021.On 6th technician has visited and by mistake damaged working LNB of my neighbor's dish antenna saying its faulty. When we asked our neighbor, he has told it was working fine before. Later he found misalignment of LNB in my dish antenna and aligned it to restore the signal. He said since he has cut working LNB of my neighbor, he will provide another one. I have complained about installation of "Tata Sky" dish antenna by previous technician and told him to inform in his office to replace. He started misbehaving telling do whatever you want I won't inform in the office. I have registered another complaint 47499761 to replace the dish antenna as they have closed my complaint without my consent. On 7th Aug 2021 Mr Anshuman Jena from XSTREAM KAILASH distributor of AIRTEL DTH in Berhampur Odisha called and denied replacing the dish antenna and later AIRTEL team asked them to replace. They have sent same technician named Kanha who entered 2nd floor telling 1st floor residents that he must replace the antenna without informing me or any of my family member he has replaced antenna. He has not even informed me that he has taken my old dish antenna. These kinds of third-class attitude cannot be entertained. No technician does this with any customer. How is it legal to enter a customer premises and without their permission? We stay in ground floor and stairs are outside that’s why he told lie to 1st floor people and did all these nuisances. When I informed to Airtel DTH social media handle, they have not taken any action. My complaint is closed whereas 3 things are open.
                          1. New LNB should have been installed in my neighbor’s dish antenna
                          2. The dish antenna which is installed is having rusted nuts and bolts for and one place nuts and bolts missing which they did not rectify.
                          3. Technician has cut and thrown the wires wrapped on my old dish antenna to avoid any damages from monkeys as they visit very frequently, and we have already lost antennas due to damages done by monkeys. In front of AIRTEL DTH team XSTREAM KAILSAH's distributor's owner, Mr Anshuman Jena agreed at 4:52 pm on 8th Aug 2021 to send different technician to address all the problem within half an hours’ time, but after the conference call over he has called and started misbehaving and threatening me that he will not send any technician and when I told I will record about it he immediately disconnected.
                          I cannot entertain misbehavior by Mr Anshuman Jena from Airtel DTH distributor team or any of his team members. Kindly take strict action and please ask them to rectify the listed open problems as soon as possible.
                          On 8th Aug after I was misbehaved again by Mr Jena sent email to airtel to appellate.[protected]@airtel.in, dthnodal.[protected]@airtel.com and [protected]@airtel.com with all the images and incident details but none of them acknowledge or looked int this matter till now.

                          Please find the images of how Airtel technician from XSTREAM KAILASH has installed Tata Sky dish antenna for AIRTEL DTH connection and how the airtel dish antenna is not installed properly.

                                I had placed a request to shift/relocate my Airtel XStream fiber wifi connection to my new house, and even received a Request Number. It's been several days no one has even contacted me for installation, forget come to my house. I have called several times and every customer care executive mentioned that it will be done, but no action has been taken yet. This is highly irresponsible of a big company like Airtel.
                                My request no. is[protected]

                                I urgently need a wifi connection at new house, please help and do the required installation.

                                  Dear Airtel Service,

                                  Why do I find Rs.15/- deduction on recharging? When I am a regular customer and recharging DTH services every month why this compulsion on the consumer to pay as per your calendar?

                                  Why the DBR charges are deducted every month, when I am not subscribing to any new channels?

                                  Thanks,
                                  Airtel DTH Consumer.
