Hathway Complaints & Reviews

I had disconnected Hathway's cable Internet connection in the month of March and was committed that they will refund the modem security of Rs.1000/- within 15-20 days and it's been more than 5 month now they have not refunded that amount yet.

I had spoken to their representatives on helpline over and over again and also have proofs of emails sent to them requesting them the refund. They have not even cared to reply or callback.

I have now made up my mind to drag them to consumer court.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Regards
Yogesh

I am an ex-subscriber of Broadband services from Hathway.com. From the day of installation, I faced frequent disconnections in service and frustrated by what I consider a deficient service, I raised a ticket with their helpdesk in the last week of March (Approximately between 26th to 29th), and stopped using the services. I have also paid up the bills in advance for the month of March. The representative from Hathway disconnected the service only in the fourth week of April and is now demanding payment for services I have not availed. Even otherwise, if I take into account the number of hours or days I have faced disconnections (can be verified by the number of calls I have made to Hathway to register the complaint), I should infact be given a refund for deficient service. Despite reasons which sound genuine, I believe it is the responsibility of the service provider to ensure that the customer does not face the frequent disconnection, and in this respect Hathway has failed. This prompted me to use the services of another service provider. Below is an extract of my email sent to Hathway recently:

Hi

I am losing my patience with your emails. I am not sure if anybody at Hathway understands English. I have made it very clear in my earlier emails as well as my calls to your helpdesk that I am not going to pay for any bills. I re-iterate that I had requested disconnection of the service in the last week of March 2009 - against which I had already paid the subscription amount. I stopped using the service during the month of March 2009 itself. It is not my fault if your service engineer arrives in the third week of April for disconnection. You can remove your helpdesk call records to verify the validity of my statement above. I have called up as recently as about a month ago to your helpdesk to record my statement. Any more emails or mails or communication in any other form in this regard will not be appreciated and I promise to take you to the consumer court for harassment.

Further, if you do maintain a record of all my calls to the helpdesk, then you will notice that on an average every alternate day I have called up to complain about "No Connectivity". I would always get one or the other reason like maintenance, cable cuts, etc. I believe that you wouldn't want me to take you to the court for deficient service. Even at the time of disconnection, I stated this as the reason. I hope Hathway will stop fooling around with its customers.

Hi,

I am a resident of West Marredpally and requested for a broadband connection from Hathway Cable Co. The agent named Raghava / Raghu ([protected]) came to my residence duly collected all the necessary documentation w.r.t residence proof and Id proof. He also collected a crossed cheque in the name of Hathway Cable Network Pvt Ltd for an amount of Rs 1495/-. The cheque was collected on 18th July and cleared by the bank on 23rd July. When I followed up to my surprise the agent recklessely says that unfortunately connection cannot be established at my residence, and I need to go and submit the receipt in person at the address mentioned on the receipt in order to get reimbursed.
IS THIS SOME KIND OF A JOKE. Does he not know he needs to wait before submitting the cheque for payment to know if a connection can be established to the said address, and when it was his fault he should do the needy to get my money back. The agent is so irresponsible that he does not answer my call anymore. Is it my fault that you collected my money in advance?????
I want appropriate action to be taken against the agent for his reckless and irresponsible behaviour. His phone number is [protected].
If Hathway has some business etiquetts and values its customers please look into this matter and take the necessary action.

My Hathway SET TOP BOX is not working since 2 months. The local cable operator took away saying the same shall be replaced free of cost.. Till date there is no response & they too are blaming the HATHWAY company that ... they are not responding...

Sir,

Even after so many reminders to you, your technical Dept. has not solved my probelm. Now I am really seriously thinking to disconnect your Internet connection at my place.

I think there is no control in your organisation to look after customer complaints. And this will be failure of your Top Management. If you give me a E-mail ID or the contact no. of your Senior most person in the organisation I would like to expalin him about your organisation failure.

Please do the calculation of my balance hours pending with you and settle my account by paying me the balance money and then you are free to disconnect the line. If this is not possible from your end then please let me know so that I can take my further course of action to recover my money.

Please do not only reply by email to this mail. I want a confirm action from your end.
Either you can rectiy the probelm and give me continuous connectivity in 24 hours or you can refund my money.

Kindly do the needful.


S.S. KOLTE

Sir,
I was connected with you for a few days, experiencing very bitter & slow network speed. The helpdesk ([protected]) are not attended by the staff, due to EPBX we customer are loosing money by telephone calls. How ever I want a best result from you to help me to get my play-site(www.superpokepets.com) loaded with its full features, now which will never loaded due to slow speed ( it always remain within 200 to 60 kbps, it measured by the Macafee speedometer.). So I hope you may help me in this respect to ensure the proper result. Thanking you.
- Sumitra Kumar Patra.

Note: My customer code is 505655

On 5th July I have booked the 128kbps connection with Rs. 750 and I was told the connection will be given within 24 hours. Mr. Ramesh & Mr. Satya came to my place and told my connection will be completed by 6 July morning 10 a.m.-12a.m. But after repeated calls the technician finally came by 2p.m. and fitted the cable upto my room and told another person will come to give the final connection & modem. But nobody came upto night and whenever I called Ramesh he assured me that they are coming in just 10 minutes. On 7 July I again called them but nobody shoed the jesture to pick the call but when I called them from any new number they continued with their phrase "just 10 minutes" later telling about the nonavailability of Modems. Today 8th July again the same.
Now I want my money back and be rescued from these frauds.

Our local cable guy in Srinagar colony, hyderabad is intent on stealing money from users. I have moved into a house previously where my friends were staying.

The house already had a cable connection when we came and our friends gave us the details of the monthly payment as well. Now the cable guy is asking for a activation/set-up fee again saying it is a new connection since we are new in the house.

THis all when all the wiring is there already and the cable TV is working. It was never discontinued even for a day. He jus saw us for the first time and asked the neighbours if we are new to the house. He is threatening that if we refuse he will cut the connection and not allow cable TV in our house ever again.

A BUNCH OF THIEVES I SAY!!!

Hathway cable TV operators in Kundalahalli, bangalore charge 1000Rs-1500Rs deposit and Rs.250+ monthly for providing standard cable services. When customer requests to consider adding a popular channel to the basic band, rather than taking the request back to the office and considering it based on popular demand, the operator bluntly tells the customer 'This is what we will provide. If you want keep it, else disconnect your cable'.. This is a total harassment from the cable TV operators as they are aware that consumer is heavily dependant upon the cable services. Can somebody suggest what can be done in such circumstances please. How do we get to know whether there are alternate cable operators in the same area?

RESPECTED SIR/MADAM

The internet is not getting connected since last 10-15days and also the number fgiven on website is not reachable.Also I sent a person to their office on the address given, but there is no office at all.
Now we are stuck after paying the money and getting no response from Hathway. I also called up their Surat office but they had the same information about Baroda office.
There is definitely some legal action which should be taken against hathway for harrasement and running away with our mney and not providing service.
