I have opposed that time and they said we will shift it. But when i come back from office and see they have finished the installation. Now we are facing issue due to its in mid. I have called the contractor/supervisor then he is denying to shift that box. Please shift that box in one side. This will help us. Here work is still running. So it will be easy to shift that box. Once work has done in this area then its difficult and time taken to shift that box. Please do needful. My contact no is [protected]

                        I was using airtel Hd set top box for many years and recently i received a call from customer care saying since i am a priority customer i can upgrade my box to an xtreme set top box where i will get a three months of zee 5 subscription for free.Later after installation they said i need to call customer care for activation of zee 5 which i did. Later after a month i sent a mail for the same activation for which i received a feedback saying in 14 days my problem will be resolved but even after 14 days its not resolved so i was sending mails but no response for the mail. Yesterday again i called customer care they said they will arrange for a call back with service request no : 33457036 which is closed by airtel without even calling me.
                        Why do they give such false promotion which they couldnot keep and taking so much money for each and every channel

                            This company is hoax company full of harassers and broken systems. Due to the Pandemic I have had to change cities and no longer required the Airtel broadband connection that I was using in Bangalore. I called Airtel help desk multiple times to register a cancellation request to which they never payed heed. Out of frustration I also reached out to them via mail on [protected]@in.airtel.com to cancel my connection.

                            Despite making several attempts to get my cancellation request, Airtel seemed to have made up their mind to continually harass me. Calling me 2-3 times every single day asking for bill payments for future 3 months (since it's an advance rental plan)!! Why should I pay when I have already requested cancellation and you have acknowledged the same through mail.

                            With the customer executives its a different kind of nightmare altogether, when I explain my problem and ask to speak to someone incharge they conveniently cut my call and call me back again later.

                            I had heard of many terrible similar experiences of customers with Airtel when it came to cancelling the broadband connection, but never though I would go through the same.

                            I want Airtel to stop calling me at once for prepaid bill payments for the month of January- Feb- March 2021!
                            And I want an apology for the continual mental harassment by them. I also want to know how Airtel plans to rectify this broken system so that future consumers don't face the same issue.

                            I am posting my mail conversation below:

                            Hi team Airtel,

                            After spending hours on you IVR and trying to find a deactivation option on your thanks app, I have resorted to writing a Mail.

                            I wish to discontinue my Airtel broadband service.

                            Fixed number: [protected]

                            Please discontinue this service at once. Incase you need any other information please let me know at the earliest.

                            The outstanding bill amount is for the coming months which I should not be liable to pay.
                            I will also not be liable to pay any other charges from the day I have sent this mail to you.

                            Under no circumstances/offers will I be persuaded to continue this service, so please do not offer alternative packages or so.

                            Please kindly reply at the earliest.

                            Thanks and regards,

                            Hi Airtel team,

                            What is wrong with your customer service???!!!
                            It’s been quite sometime since I have posted this mail to you, letting you know that I want to discontinue the broadband service!!

                            Not only did I not receive any reply from you, moreover I get calls everyday single day!! Its been almost 8-9 phone calls asking me repeatedly why I haven’t paid the bill!! And me explaining over and over that this is advance rental plan, when I have said I want to discontinue why should I pay for months of November and October?!!

                            Airtel I would like to inform you, this is customer harassment, the next time someone communicates with us please ensure that they are talking about discontinuation of the service and not bill payment.

                            If this issue is not resolved soon, please know I will not hesitate to take this issue to the next level.

                            Very poor customer service, I will not consider Airtel for any of my future internet providers and inform my relatives and friends of the same.

                            By when can I expect the connection to get disconnected ? Can you please also send an updated bill? The current bill you have provided is for months of Oct and Nov which I will not pay.
                            Provide a new bill only until September that I will accept to pay.
                            I continue get calls from Airtel for bill payment? I don’t understand why? When I have repeatedly told the same thing over and over again. Extremely extremely horrible customer experience.

                              For the past 3 years we are getting very weak signal (voice and data) in
                              our residence:
                              V. SRINIVASAN, HEMA SRINIVASAN
                              KENDRIYA VIHAR, BLOCK - C7, FLAT- 93

                              CHENNAI- 600071.
                              We lodged complaint many times, but no outcome. This problem is faced by all residents (572 families) living in this Kendriya Vihar colony (Phase- 2). There was a proposal to erect a tower nearby area by AIRTEL. But nothing happened. It is a very serious problem and Airtel technicians need to visit this site and interact with consumers and find a permanent solution for this weak signal (both voice and data). Many times we have to come out of our flats to open space to receive the mobile call.
                              Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
