Sub: not providing download or upload speed as per plan paid for
Ref: landline number [protected] and registered mobile number: [protected] in my name - anirudh

I have been using this broadband connection since may 2020 with plan of 40mbps. However, i have never got more than 22mbps download speed till date and the upload speed is mere 0.3 or 0.5 mbps.

This is highly pathetic. The upload speed is not in 1:8 ratio with download speed and moreover the download speed is not even close to 40mbps. But i am in plan of 40mbps.

Inspite of numerous complaints repeatedly, local service engineers raghu - prutvi - chandan get assigned and they put false / fake comments and close the complaint repeatedly.

I call the customer care to report that my issue is not resolved and they simply take up another complaint rather than resolving it which again gets closed by the local service engineers who give fake/false updates.

This is clearly fraud being committed by the airtel to its customers. Being a user since 12 yrs of various services such as tv, postpaid, broadband, i demand you provide me 40mbps at once

      The issue pertains to excessive and unfair billing by Airtel Broadband. I have subscribed to 40MBPS plan of Airtel which was priced at Rs.699. Recently there has been a price cut for 40mbps plan and the price got reduced to Rs.499/month. Thus monthly Rs.499 plan has replaced the monthly Rs.699 Plan on the Airtel Website. But when it comes to Billing (for Sept2020) they are still charging the higher price of Rs.699+Taxes, which in my view is unfair. Airtel executives argue that they are not going to give the benefit of pricecut unless a customer finds it himself on the website and asks for this benefit!. In my view since plan price has been reduced and older higher price plan being replaced with new plan (without reducing the Connection Speed), existing customers under this plan should automatically be provided this benefit. Instead Airtel is cheating the customer by
      1. Not informing the customers price cut (atleast by group Email/SMS)
      2. Continuing to charge older, higher price
      3. Refusing to charge pro-rata after taking price cut into account.

        Address: No. 18, Ground Floor, 17 th h Cross Road, MC Layout, vijayanagar, near maruthi temple, Bangalore- 560040

        I had ordered an fastag on my airtel thanks app on 19th july 2020. On 24th july 2020 they said that the fastag request for so and so vehicle has been validated and the fastag will be delivered in 12 working days. But till today the fastag is not delivered.

        I have written repeated multiple mails stating that the fastag is not delivered to me. They end up saying that in their system it is showing that the fastag is delivered. Ok, if the fastag is delivered then why don’t you give me the courier details? Even after asking so many times to give me the courier details, where i can at least track where is the courier, you have never given the courier details. I doubt if you have even couriered the fastag.

        I asked to cancel the progress/deactivate the fastag and refund me the amount. Neither your returning my amount nor your giving me the fastag nor your giving me the courier details. Then what do you finally want to do???

        I have written multiple mails, like non-sense every time you keep telling the only one thing that it will be resolved in 2 days. Damid, it has been 2 months!!! What’s wrong with you?? Useless people useless manager. No one knows how to even work. Are you people even working seriously?? Or just getting paid with out even working??? Idiotic people!!!

        Such worst service by Airtel. They don’t have a number for Airtel Payment Bank where we can reach them nor they give a call back.

                          I ported my idea number to airtel on 24/09/20. And on 27/09 my idea sim was inactive and i put the airtel sim and it worked fine. Then i checked for the balance and i found only 5₹ and 300mb 2g.
                          Then i called the store and they recharged.
                          After that when i checked my airtel sim is dead.
                          Now i dont have a sim.
                          Im fkin frustrated now.

                                      I paid activation charge of rs 1768 and it clearly showed payment failed. I tried again and second time payment was successful. However, 2 hours after this payment, i get two messages for successful transactions. The money was deducted twice with different transaction numbers[protected] and[protected].

                                      Please help, how can i get refund of extra payment made.
