Subject: Formal Complaint – Airtel Broadband Down for 18+ Days (Since 9th Feb) – Urgent Resolution Required

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally complain about the non-functioning of my Airtel broadband connection for the past 18+ days (since 9th February 2025, 1:00 PM). Despite multiple complaints and follow-ups, Airtel has failed to restore the service or provide a resolution.

Complaint Details:

Customer Name: R. Vijayalakshmi

Broadband Account Number: [protected]

Registered Mobile Number: [protected]

Complaint ID: 6804423

Email: brindaviji.[protected]@gmail.com

Location: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Nature of the Issue:

1. Service Down for 18+ Days – Complete broadband outage causing major inconvenience.

2. No Engineer Visit – Despite multiple requests, no technician has checked the issue.

3. False Commitments – Customer support has repeatedly given misleading deadlines.

4. Lack of Accountability – No action has been taken to resolve my complaint.

My Demands:

1. Immediate restoration of my broadband service.

2. Waiver of charges for the period of non-service.

3. Compensation for the inconvenience, work loss, and stress caused.

4. Strict action to ensure such negligence does not occur in the future.

Final Escalation & Legal Action:

Since my complaints have been ignored, I am now escalating this matter to:
✅ Department of Telecommunications (DoT) via PG Portal
✅ Consumer Forum & TRAI for service negligence and compensation
✅ Public grievance platforms (Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Google Reviews, and consumer forums)
✅ Legal action for service failure and mental harassment

I expect immediate action on this complaint. If Airtel fails to respond or resolve my issue within 24 hours, I will be left with no choice but to file a legal grievance against Airtel for service deficiency.

Attachments:

✅ Copies of previous complaints and messages from Airtel
✅ Screenshot of complaint ID and service request details

I request you to treat this as a final written complaint before further escalation.

Sincerely,
R. Vijayalakshmi
Chennai, Tamil Nadu

You BB using from 3 weeks very bad experience and very poor quality of yor wifi instrument
Complain t but not resolved very harassing company pin 440012
I am giving advice to my nabours and sarrounds to do no connect with airtel BB one money looting company

I was offered a bundled plan by an Airtel agent, which included Airtel Fiber WiFi, DTH TV, and multiple OTT subscriptions under a single package. Trusting the offer, I agreed and made the payment immediately.

The next day, an engineer arrived and installed only the WiFi, stating that the DTH dish antenna would be installed the following day. However, it has now been almost 15 days, and despite multiple follow-ups with the Airtel store and their TSM, I have received nothing but false assurances. The DTH installation remains pending.

Is this how Airtel treats its customers—by making false promises and failing to deliver after taking their money?

I had taken a wifi connection in March 2022. Now after two years, I have shifted and wanted to drop my wifi connection. I have called Airtel multiple times, but they have not canceled my connection and keep on sending me bills. Their recovery agents are very rude to us and despite numerous requests, they have recovered money from me by threatening me. I paid the bill of 1767, and they had committed to square up my connection, but the bills are still being generated and wifi has not been stopped. I have left my place in Mumbai and have shifted. Airtel recovery agents are goons who keep on threatening us. I need compensation for mental harassment.

We are phasing tempreture issue

I recharged my Airtel DTH with ₹258 for the Tamil SD pack on January 13, 2025, which was supposed to be valid for 30 days. However, my service was unexpectedly disconnected on February 4, 2025, after only 20–22 days.

Upon contacting customer care for clarification, I was informed that the amount was adjusted due to the inclusion of three HD à la carte channels. However, during the entire recharge period, I'm not get viewed any HD channels specifically no: 755 Sun HD. Additionally, Airtel's own interface indicates that HD channels require a separate recharge, yet my amount was deducted without my knowledge.

I was unaware that previously selected à la carte channels would continue to be charged with every new recharge, and there were no notifications or billing details reflecting this. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for customers to track deductions and ensure they are paying only for services they intend to use.

I request an immediate resolution, including either a refund for the deducted amount or an extension of my Tamil SD pack for the remaining validity period. Additionally, I urge Airtel to improve its communication regarding auto-renewals of à la carte channels to prevent similar issues for other customers.

Hi I had subscribed for a channel in the month of jan2025 and the subscription charges are levied but from Feb even tho the charges are levied the channel does not exist ..

I called airtel dth consumer complain multiple times they state it's their server problem and will fix by 24 hr but no change ...

Y in india these big shot cheat the consumer I believe because even tho we complain no charges is taken against them

Network very poor and internet not working phone calls not properly voice

Hi,

I recharged for the amount of Rs. 2998. It is not showing up.

Could you please look into it and resolve.

I bought and paid successfully for a Rs 211 prepaid package for my Airtel sim but it is not reflecting on my phone.

Airtel janjgir pura process ke bad bhi saptah bhar se sim chalu nahi kar rahi.

Hi,

I just recharged a few minutes before. But I seen that my data balance is deducted with 200MB.

Recharged pack details - 1.5GB/Day, Unlimited Voice, 100 SMS for 28 days.

But in a minute, without usage the how the data deducted, that I need to know. I'm using the jio network for data purpose using hotspot connection. After recharge of Airtel number, without using the mobile data, it shows me 1.3GB left.

I used 126MB that for yesterday night and it show now. After recharge, 126 changed to 127MB in my mobile drop-down menu. In airtel app, it shows me 200MB used. Complete cheating of Airtel Network

I purchased an Airtel sim - [protected] 8 years ago. while purchasing, I gave all the necessary documents to the retailer. recently on 24th Dec 2024, I lost my mobile in a theft. When I went to get back my number the Airtel store authorities denied it and said that it's registered on some Srinivasulu name.

I have provided the necessary documents to the Airtel store management still they are still not helping me get back my number. I was a prompt user of Airtel for the last 8 years at times when the other service providers were luring the customers with attractive rates and plans I stood by Airtel and now the same Airtel is not helping me when I need them the most. Kindly take action on them.

I had a mothly plan on airtel which was to be expire on 7 January 2024. I recharged in advance on 7 january so that when my plan iwipl expire and my new plan should immediately activated on 08 January. Now on 8 january my plan has not activated and after hours of trying to contact customer service when my call got connected and they informed me it will be activated at 12:00 Of night which means 12:00 AM at 09 January 2024. I am facing huge doscomfort of one day period as i am unable to call from my number due to this plan activation gltich and customer service is not helping at all and according to them whatever i do my plan will not activated. Even i have oaid advance why i am facing this lag due to their end why resolution can not be done. I am a working professional and i have to make 100to 200 calls atleast but this has caused me so much financial and loss of time and my professional connections.Pleas take necessary action as customer service is harrassing me.

My Airtel number [[protected]], since that day I've been facing network issues which is very poor. Also my family members are having an airtel sim too. Facing a problem on all sim of airtel. If call connects, then I'm unable to talk properly inside room, I've to go outside for better connection...

I have airtel dish tv plan. My customer id : [protected]. My digital service is getting intrupputed every second month with no signal error. Every time I m calling to customer care and they are sending engineer and charging 150 rupees. Every time I am paying amount but same price blemish exists again and again. They are making money by this way. Currently I m facing same issue no signal. I have called to cutomer care and escalate same issue to the support team and mentioned that i m not paying any single amount to this time to resolve problem because it is repetitive problem and u are charging money every time. But they are not accepting this. I have all bills and communication record of customer service Center. Although they are not arranging call back after 24 hours as well. Plz help me out from the cheater company airtel Digitaltv

Airtel network is down in my area(Pin code-411009) for more than a week now. There is no resolve even after multiple complaints from many users including me. Why is this problem not yet resolved.
Are they going to extend the validity of prepaid plan for this period of nonavailability of their network services? Or they just want to charge us for not providing services!

Their promotions on TV and social media boast about the availability of their services in the remotest areas of our country!!??

Hi Team, i have been incoorectly charged for amazon prime even though i have not subscribed to it .

They are threating me to pay the bill

I'm subscriber of dth tv Airtel since June 22 and I have been using it but everytime their backend team is reducing my balance and validity moreover when I'm removing any channel they donot extend or increase balance but when I add any channel they immediately reduced my balance and validity pls refer to the attached screenshot below and I have sent multiple email to Airtel dth but even after their reply regarding waiver for 6.months of incorrect calculation of my leftover balance in every month on last day they have still not provided me waiver and didnt extended validity or increased my balance. Please escalate it to their higher authorities as their customer service and backend team both have taken too much of time in resolving it
