Airtel — Cheating the customers by selling Fiber connection with wrong Information

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi, I switched from Airtel DSL connection to Airtel Fiber based connection as I was told by the sales representative that Fiber based link would provide symmetric Uplink speed. I choose the UL-Fibernet Plus 1499 50GB (8Mbps/512Kbps) COMBO Plan and received downlink and uplink speeds of about 8 mbps. Lately, the uplink speed has been reduced to less than 1 mbps without any intimation to me. On reaching out to the customer service I am told that the max uplink available with my plan is only 768 kbps. This is unacceptable and amounts to cheating the customers as I had chosen Fiber connection only because of higher uplink speed which is required for my work related video calls. The SR # is: Ref15179415|] WEB SR : Landline no : [protected] Request you to please look into this urgently. Thanks Rajen

Despite multiple assurances no one has bothered to resolve this issue. I am surprised by the apathy of the Airtel customer service. I spoke with the Airtel sales person who had sold me the Fiber connection and he confirmed that the uplink and downlink in the FTTH connection is same. I was receiving the same speed till few weeks back and now suddenly the uplink speed has dropped to <700 kbps. Doesn't this amount to cheating? Is anyone from Airtel listening? Please give your formal reply on this forum so that everyone can know how useless is your Fiber connection.
