Hi team, we have been using airtel from last 5 years and in my family everyone has airtel dth. Recently we moved to bengaluru and took airtel broadband plan which promises a speed o[censored]pto 40mbps, after we got the broadband installed we came to know from your team on call that only 16mbps speed is provided in my area where i am currently located. That’s fraud we were expecting up to 40 mbps the advertisement says 40 mbps but only 16 after getting the connection installed no disclaimer was mentioned to us during document collection. Also the internet connection does not work half of the time. We start the router multiple times in a day as while working we see that the internet is not working. So poor service, fraud about the speed. I am an airtel loyalist but now i am so frustrated and disappointed by the service. I am not expecting 40mbps speed in a village it’s a metro city and so poor service. This way you will surely loose your customers to jio or act fiber net. I am observing your service for three months then i will surely think about switching to act. Hope you act effectively this time. Also i use airtel internet tv in which net flix is not working it’s been a week only and the airtel digital tv stops abruptly many a times in normal whether conditions. It feels really frustrating in front of our guest the airtel digital tv stopped many a times. Sometimes it work well and some times stops abruptly in normal wheather. Resolve this asap. Poor products poor service. I have been using airtel dth from last 5 years this never happened in hyderabad. My parents use airtel internet tv, no service issue but with me it’s poor just poor.

    I have requested for a new broadband connection and provided all kyc and 6 months adv cheque to your sales team executive kunal around 20 days ago. Cheque has been presented to my bank and got dishonoured. Now, your social media team is saying that connection is not possible as of now and would take time. Please help me with the same and help me who's responsible for the same. I need to have the compliance team and senior leadership involved in this case.

      I recharged for Airtel unlimited plan Rs.448 on 11th May 2018 in the website www.airtel.in/prepaid-recharge. The plan provides Unlimited Local+STD calls, 1.4 GB 3G/4G Data per day for 82 days.

      Hi the worse airtel network,
      These days i am not able to make calls by using your network. The worst signal in hyderabad. I made complaint to customer care couple of time, but there is no use. But you are generating the bills very promptly, at same time you are not giving proper service to the customer. I think no airtel customer is happy in hyderabad city. I dont know, whom to escalate this issue. What airtel higher management is doing or what troi is doing on this issue. They need customers money, but they dont bother about customer issues like signal problem.

      Forgot about internet, not even making calls. But you are advertising open network saying india's no 1 network. Yes you are right airtel is india's no 1 worst network.

      Airtel is the worse worse worse than any other network.

      Thanks,
      Kiran.

        Airtel is fast becoming worst mobile network service provider in india, being with airtel for more than a decade as it was the best service provider in the country but from the past year or so we don't get proper reception at most of the places and day by day it's services are getting deteriorated.
        7 out of 10 calls doesn't connect most people say they are unable to reach you on your mobile you cannot even call 121 or 198 taking your frustration levels to peak.
        Finally making a decision to move out of airtel to something which would work.

              For last 3 days friends in my contact list received calls from my number and when they answered the call some one else is on call. And the strange thing is that i at that very time did not make any call. This has happened 4 time with me and 2 times with my wife also having airtel connection and my mother also an airtel subscriber. Call centre agents are of no help and are useless.

                              I applied for a new broadband connection in ip extension, delhi. I chose 40 mbps plan (Rs. 899 plan) and i online deposited the advance rental of rs. 5428 against the cef number 11162114 on 6th may-2018.

                              But now after making payment your representative is telling that this much speed is not available in my area.

                              The representative is also picking the phone after making payment. I called 2 times to the customer care but they are not helping.

                              I guess airtel is only giving service to get the amount from the customers and once the payment is done they do not bother about us. They are cheating the customers.

                              I want to get my advance rental to be refunded as soon as possible.

                                  After number portability, they have said that first recharge FRC is compulsory. But after the recharge, the recharge plan of 495 was not activated. I request to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

                                  I think this is the 4th time i am complaining what is the use of recharging my phone? when there is no networks and no net is available.. my net is not working and my networks are also not coming so why i m wasting my money on recharging my phone on time .. please look forward
                                  I am sorry to say that day by day airtel network connection is getting very poor.
                                  100kb data downloading time is 3-4 minutes. It is not tolerable. So I want to switch over to Jio...
                                  My suggestion is please improve your networking area. Every time Customer care told me they are still working . But result is zero...

                                    My number was deducted of rs 99 this morning. I do not want international roaming rental on my airtel number.
                                    Airtel arbitrarily initiated to deduct balance from my main account without my request for any international services.

                                    I do no want any international roaming or international service.
                                    I want to be out of your default balance deduction schemes.

                                    I'm reaching out here because airtel customer service has not responded within the timeline they had stipulated.

                                    Please let me know how to unsubscribe from your default scheme of balance deduction without any request from the users.
                                    Why did this happen in the first place?
                                    Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
