Airtel claims itself to be the fastest internet in india? Absolute nonsense. Your ookla also showed your real face. Below is my results on your network by ookla
Download speeds: 0.56, 0.40, 0.37, 0.28 mbps
Upload speeds: 0.24, 0.18, 0.05, 0.02 mbps

Donot shamelessly advertise yourself in india without resolving the issue. My issue is open for 3 days now and they keep saying they will resolve in 3 working days!! They don't even follow their own sla?
If bangalore city itself is this way and how they provide internet to other parts of india?
My service request number: sr88721882, if you cannot resolve it in the specified days, please take back your product and refund my money with penalty for cheating the customer with cheap product.

the issue is in the HOTSPOT dongle with number: [protected]. First educate yourself with the info that we cannot make calls form a HOTSPOT.

I pay airtel monthly rent and waste half my day in talking to the CUSTOMER CARE where people don't even know how to speak to ask them to resolve the network issue. Why does airtel call themselves the ### speedest fastest network, Anu Bahl from CUSTOMER CARE promised that it will be resolved by 3 Dec that too after i called them again for the complaint raised on 28 Nov. Yet no one called till this time to check on the network connectivity.
Attaching their ookla test results!! Airtel be proud that yours is the worst network in the whole world.

      There is a airtel communication tower set up on the terrace of 1/3 ganguly lane, posta, burrabazar, kolkata -700007.
      This is to inform you that my father (Shri mukesh kumar karnawat) is the registered owner of the land and building on which your tower is set up.
      Our promoter with his documents has got the tower installed at our premises since 4 years without our consent and we are not even getting our share since the installation.
      Your company doesn't even have our
      Noc and your tower is installed illegally there.
      We would request you to either get in contact with us or we will be proceeding legally.
      Thanking you,

            When I was purchasing this Airtel sim this was lifetime sim but suddenly it got expired without any notification.

            I have 18 Rs in my main account balance but still, I am not able to make an outgoing call.

            This is not at our acceptable from Airtel at least, I have been using this sim since 2011 but I think now, I have to port it.

                I am facing issue my mobile number [protected] during recharge. I have started facing this issue since 2-3 months now. Earlier i was able to recharge my number.

                1. Unable to recharge from my airtel app. It is working fine with other airtel number.

                2. Unable to recharge for internet, paytm and other modes. It give message unsuccessful transaction. This is happening only with my mobile number ([protected]), it is working fine with other airtel number.

                3. I tried with other person asking him to recharge my number but it fails.

                4. I have gone to airtel store they tried to do frc from there device. But they also got failed transaction message.

                So in short i am unable to do any recharge from any thing (From-retailer/ online/airtel cutomer care). The outgoing facility of this no will be end on 1st dec, 2018. So look in to this with a high priority.

                I have contacted customer care, branch and even emailed but still my problem is not resolved. Kindly resolve at the earliest.

                My alternate number is [protected]

                  HI,

                  We haven't heard or got any response from Airtel customer care team or consumer complaint team regarding our complaint. We are losing time without any results.

                  It seems we will have to file case in the consumer complaint court to get the itemised billing of our Pre paid number. Will appreciate if you could assist us with the status of our complaint.

                  Regards,

                    This is regarding wrong information provided by airtel customer service executive when applying for a new dth multiple-connection for my home, i had this conversation on around 15th oct. 2018.

                    The guy told me that i have to recharge my dth base pack @315 on the parent connection and @175 to the other three connections by which ill get 290 sd channels and 60 hd channels in all my connections.

                    Now currently on time of recharge airtel customer service says that we do not have any plans like these and giving me expensive plans. Even they are not lodging a complaint also.

                      Dear concern,

                      I have been to srilanka & nepal in multiple journies. Before going only enquired with airtel executive about the international roaming activation & packages, executive clearly confirmed if i recharge with rs.145 inr. Then only roaming will get activated. But, i felt it was costly and instad of roaming activation i choose international plan on my prepaid no for roaming. During my visit to srilanka from feb'2018 to may'2018 there were no issues. But, airtel had activated international roaming on my post paid no. Without my knowledge either in any mode of prior communication (Call, message, sms or email) to me and claiming that had used internet only 24th, 29th & 30th of aug'2018". It is impossible as i do not know why do actvated the internet without my request, moreover i have fullfledged internet at my office & hotels where i worked and stayed respectively. I'm not willing to pay that amount as it is not my problem and not used any services of airtel during any abroad visit. Hence, i need full waiver of the billed amount and also airtel barred my mobile no. Even after paying my monthly rentals. It is not kind of business.
                      Hope you will understand my issue and do me needful retaining my services. On my mobile

                      [protected] - barred no
                      [protected] - prepaid no currently in international roaming
                      [protected] - local no to contact.

                                Hi,
                                I have changed my postpaid plan to prepaid few months ago and also got my sim replaced because it was stolen. After replacement, my number is not getting recharged. I'm not able to make any recharge transaction online.

                                Kindly resolve my issue at earliest as it is a matter of great inconvenience for me.

                                  When i was purchasing this airtel sim this was lifetime sim but suddenly it got expired without any notification.

                                  I have 67 rs in my main account balance but still, i am not able to make an outgoing call.

                                  This is not at our acceptable from airtel at least, i have been using this sim since 2008 but i think now, i have to port it.

                                  Regards,
                                  Vishal

                                      Actually I made a payment for 150 for two months and I have verification code and the amount for the amount was credited from my bank account but the recharge is still unsuccessful and I contacted customer care of airtel but they only say that if you recharge from third party gateway other than airtel then we are not responsible and there is no proper response from airtel customer care side
