[Resolved]  Airtel - Broadband — Never Pay Airtel in Advance

We applied for a new Airtel broadband connection in Mogappair West on 23 rd November. They have sent an executive after a feasibility study that connection is possible and he took all the documents and Rs. 500 promising that the connection will be provided in 3 days.

We called the executive after four days cause we didn't get any connection. He replied that since we are bachelors we have to pay an extra Rs. 1000. We paid that amount to Mr. Anand ([protected]) after he promised to activate the connection within two days.

After waiting for three days we called Mr. Anand and every time he would terminate the call saying that he is on a bike or he will call back in 10 minutes, but he never called. So we called the customer support at[protected] and inquired about the status. He told that the capacity is full in that area and it will take atleast one more week to lay a new cable. We are just pissed that all these days we have been cheated by the cheater Airtel company people, and we were putting a lot of efforts and energy just to get a broadband connection. So I just cancelled my connection and waiting for the refund. Never know when it will come.

Why the heck did they do a feasibility study without checking for the capacity and take the money in advance? I would say never believe what these guys say to you and pay them only when you get the connection. Airtel i[censored] are listening try to be honest with customers. Don't belive that you can cheat all the customers all the time.

I am never going to use an Airtel product and will flay them in every broadband forum.

how hard is it for you to search for newly applied connections from that particular area with the name given by the person who posted the above message.and yes...you people were too busy to give a reply when they called and you are saying that YOU will get in touch and resolve the problem. what a joke...
since the consumer no longer wants your service...the best you can do is to refund their money.
and whats with the bachelors have to pay Rs.1000 extra??get your heads scanned..
Thank you so much for this information, I was planning to take the connection but now I think that would be one of the most biggest mistakes of my life. If this is the case, then people working in Airtel sucks.
Dear Airtel,

You spam every complaint with the same text whatever the complaint is, and you also expect to provide phone numbers, and email addresses on a public board. Why should we believe that you are acting genuinely to an email since you dont respond to our calls personally?
I have an update. Airtel sent us a cheque for just Rs. 500/- saying that that is what we have paid for connection, but we paid 1500/-. Mr. Cheater Anand ([protected]) kudos for good dirty job on behalf of Airtel.

Airtel - Broadband — Airtel didnt provided broadband connection even after 2 months

Hi All,

I applied for Airtel Broadband connection on Dec-12-2009, never got any connection.

I stay at KK Nagar, intially they said it is possible to provide connection in that area. So i gave them 500 rs/- as advacne and gave all the proofs and signed the documents.

Even after 2 months I didnt received any connection, despite of calling them regularly.

Yesterday only they refunded my connection money, after taking it to the notice of higher official and reason cited was connection is not feasible.

They would have told the same reason before taking advance and I would have avoided this jargon and headache for long 3 months.

One request to all, Please enquire with the agent that whether connection is feasible in your residence area, before paying any advance.

Thanks,
Irfan
