Hathway Complaints & Reviews

I am a HATHWAY customer since last 10 months but they are very WORST service with USELESS customer support. If you call at night they will say we will resolve in morning, in morning they will tell our engineer will come after 10:30, Engineer will tell its a problem in line may be and he is not sure where the problem is exactly. Most of time their connection will not available... Please please avoid this useless internet connection and beaware of this fraud....

this is approx 15 days i am facing issues of connectivity
on daily basis i make call to these guys...and they daily say to me "please wait for 30 mints it fine be fine, as connectivity issue in backend"

now please disconnect my connection and also give my money back...its enough now.
I cannot make complains on daily basis to you.

You are one of cheap provider in world. And i wont recommend anyone to buy services from HATHWAT.

To whom so ever it may concern

Its about the worst intenet connection provided by HATHWAY.
We stay @ hirnandani gardens,n got a broadband connection 2 weeks ago....
For our surprise , 512kbps broadband took atleast 2 minutes to load a gmail page.
And the so called 'CUSTOMER CARE' always have the same answer that the engineers are checking the problem related to the same .

I've been using Hathway Internet services but for the last 3 months I have been subject to harrasment and inconvenience from Hathway and they suspend the services even though payments are made as due.

In April I got call from hathway stating that my current plan is being discontinued and I can opt for a new 3 monthly package where I pay in advance and get the same plan at better speed. As instructed on Apr-5th I made online...

as i have purchase internet connection from hathway plan 256-512kbps day-night combo pack
every 2-3 days my net way notworking in night as i have complain many times they are not giveing proper solution. i only able to use net in day time in night time it not working properly.

I AM USER OF INTERNET SERVICES OF RAJESH- HATHWAY INTERNET SERVICES IN GHATKOPAR MUMBAI-400075. I HAD TAKEN 1 YEAR PLAN OF INTERNET SPEED OF 128 KBPS AND UNLIMITED DOWNLOAD.

MY COMPLAINT IS , THEY ARE PROVIDING INCONSISTENT SERVICE TO ME. THEIR NET IS DOWN ALMOST 4-5 DAYS PER MONTH, MOSTLY ON SATURDAY N SUNDAY. ADDING TO THIS THEIR NET WHENEVER IS ON ,DOES NOT GIVE SPEED WHICH THEY HAVE MENTIONED.

FURTHER, THEIR SERVICE PEOPLE WHICH THEY HAVE SSIGNED IN THE AREA DO NOT PICK UP THE PHONE WHENEVER I CALL THEM UP. AND IF THEY PICK UP THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURED, INSTEAD OF THAT THEY GIVE FALSE REASONS.

I AM FED UP WITH THEIR SERVICE , PLEASE DO TAKE SOME ACTION, AND TEACH THE M A LESSON. THANK YOU.

We enroll by paying annual subscription charges at one time to Hathway cable & datacom pvt ltd, nashik having address 2nd floor, shallear bhavan, opp fire bridage office, shingada talao, nasik-422002. They service & reception is so poor that noone receives the call & even if someone does at times noone comes to attend the problem. all fake promises of reaching in 5 minutes or 10 minutes are never honoured. Now almost since 5 long days there is absolutely no reception / signal in the DTH set-top box & even the direct wired cable line. Now that we have paid for the entire year we cannot even switch over to another service prodiver. and hathway is very well taking advantage of this situation. We want & request strict action to be initiated against them on behalf of our entire area & consumers.

I purchased a set top box from bhaskar hathway on 6/9/08 set top box no is 67A19A[protected]B and the smart card no is[protected]in the name of Vishal Saxena . Suddenly for the last 15 days my set top box was not working and the cable operator suggested that because of the damaged and old wire it is not working properly and now I have changed the wire also set top box is still not working and the cable operator is saying nothing can be done ,get anew set top box worth rs. 1000.Please help me out and replace the set top box with a new one or get it repaired

Hi,
I have taken prepaid connection of hathway internet but still after 3 years also they are sending me bill statement.after complaining & sending mail to nodal officers also they haven't reverted bak.For prepaid conection also they are sending bill constantly.
After that I have taken net on my dad's name again from hathway & so slow connectivity I am getting everyday,every sunday some engineer comes from hathay n waste my time & they do nothing they just downlad somethin & goes bak saying they will trubleshoot it from service center & this is still happening & they hav also refused to refund money also.so frens be careful to take service from them.

I have Hathway cable connection in my Flat (A-1108, Sierra Towers, Lokhandwala Township, kandivali E, Mumbai-101). I had complained to the local office (Ph No 29653863/29652183 and Cell [protected]) in Dec/Jan regarding disturbance in many channels. The complaint was attended only after 15-20 followups and subsequestly resolved except for 1 channal i.e. SETMAX. I denied to pay for one month i.e. for Feb.10 based on the valid reason. later months your office staff didnt turn up to collect for further payments. Now today suddenly the connection got disconnected and only when i called the office and understood that since i did not pay for Feb. it was disconnected. This monopoly is not accepted. I[censored] cant give service on time and if your reception is not visiable, than why one will pay the amount. I want my connection to be restored, else forcebally i need to escalate the same. trust for some action from your end.

I am anjali deshmukh and I had purchased a set top box of BTV-Hathway from Mr.Satish who is a cable tv service provider in shrinagar extension colony,indore.
Later, Mr. Satish sold his service to AGRAWAL CABLE which is located in 1-2, shivbag colony,behind malviya ngar petrol pump,ring road, indore.
Now the agrawal cable is not providing the service through the set top box we had purchased. Our money for the set top has gone waste.

Please give a solution and register a formal complaint against the AGRAWAL CABLE.

Dear Sir/Mam,

I am Shailendra Mishra, Room No.306, F wing, Gautam Nagar, MIDC, Andheri East Mumbai-400093.
I am a internet customer of Hathway, my user ID is laxmif306, I paid through Union bank cheque no.13070 for three month connection.

With reference to complain no. 170110 , 60305, 250214 7& 20406, from starting, I was not getting your connection full day, only evening time I was able to get connection.
I would like to request u to veryfy that only evening time I got connection and utilize whereas i paid for 24 hour connectivity.

Please calculate the hours of available connection in 3 months, and adjust the remaining hours (when connection not available) to extend the services, so that I can utilize my mony already paid and can believe in future on hathway service.

waiting for positive response,

Shailendra mishra

EVENT CO ORDINATOR

CONGRATULATION LUCKY WINNER YOU HAVE WON
1.5.000.000.00 POUND

MY CONSUMER NO. WITH HATHWAY IS 600008. I HAVE AN UNLIMITED PLAN WITH HATHWAY.
CALLED 256 BLAST REGULAR UNLIMITED.-1. WHERE I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY A MONTHLY BILL OF 500 AND AFTER TAXES AND CESS WHICH COMES TO AROUND 560. RECENTLY I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON MY MOBILE STATING THAT MY BILL DUE WAS 1762.88 Rs. I WAS SHOCKED AND CHECKED THE MAIL OF HATHWAY FOR THE SAME ON THE WEBSITE. AS PER THE TERMS THAT WERE TOLD BY THE CUSTOMER SERVICE, I HAD TO PAY 1000 WHICH WAS REFUNDABLE AND THERE WERE NO CHARGES FOR THE MODEM. THE BILLING IS DONE ON A MONTHLY BASIS. I RECEIVED THE CONNECTION ON 20TH OF MARCH 2010. THE BIFURCATION OF THE 2 BILLS IS AS UNDER.

1) 20TH MARCH - 31ST MARCH[protected].89
2) 1ST APRIL - 30TH MARCH[protected].99


SO THE TOTAL SHOULD HAVE BEEN 762.88. BUT ANOTHER 1000 RS. HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE SAME. I HAVE ENCLOSED SCREENSHOTS OF THE MAIL FOR YOUR VERIFICATION WHERE THE 1000 RS. APPEARS OUT OF THE BLUES DIRECTLY IN THE TOTAL.

I WAS TOLD TO CALL THE BILLING DEPARTMENT ON[protected] AND 67134500 WHERE I AM ASKED FOR THE A/C NO. WHICH IS 600008. BUT EVERYTIME THE AUTOMATED REPLY ON THE OTHER SIDE IS " THE INTENDED RECIPIENTS MAIL BOX IS FULL". YOU MAY TRY FOR YOURSELF

I AM JUST NOT ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND REACH A CONCLUSION, BECAUSE THE SALES PEOPLE ARE NOT HELPING EITHER. PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS MATTER AS TO WHAT IS TO BE DONE.

I have a Hathway Internet connection (at Kothrud, Pune).
Its with unlimited download/upload with good speed assurance.
The salesman told me that you can watch movies on internet without any problems, no breaks, fast buffering etc. In reality, I'm getting 6 to 8 kbps download speed. Watching YouTube videos on this internet is a frustrating experience.

When I called the salesman, he clearly told that it was the way they asked to talk to customers. Today Internet is not working. When I called him, after first ring he switched off his mobile. So, this is the quality service experience.

Respected sir,
I want to tell u that i am using the internet connection of HAT WAY I TOOK THIS CONECTION ON 09 TH OF MARCH 2010. They had taken the amount of Rs.2000 for three months. Up to now it has passed 23 days from the date of connection and i have not a single day if I complaint to the help desk[protected] at morning, but they will say that we will solve the problem in one hour but the person will come at 7pm to 8pm & he will repair the same and go’s. Again the same problem will be continued at 12am or 1am, if I again complaint to help desk they will say same. This has going on daily.

So I request u to take action on Hat way. And yesterday I have send the mail to the manager of Hat way at 1am,which has copied bellow.


Thanking you,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have requested for the broadband (hathway cable) disconnection on 26th March 2010. But the request has not been completed and when I called today (31-March-2010), they told me someone called from hathway. But I hadn't received any call from hathway. And as per their status, they are telling that, connection has been withdrawn.

Also, today when I was requesting to refund the amount and disconnect it today only. The CRM didn't talk to me in good manner. She said something in kannada which I didn't understand. When I asked what did you say, she said sorry.

I would like the connection to be disconnected today (31-Mar-2010) otherwise, they will charge some extra amount for next month also. Kindly help in this regard.

Thanks in advance!!!

Br,
Manish

I was using the internet connection from past 10 months suddendly they cut the connection wire without any notice or prior intimation i had also issued a Cheque in their favour which i ultimately had to stop and also bear the charges for the same. They are not providing me the connection on flimsy grounds and they kept me in the dark at the time of providing the internet connection. The manages are also not co-operative.

On 8th March’10 -- I made a payment to start my Internet connection but they were not successful in doing so because of their personal limitation.

On 15th March’10 they informed me that the amount would be refunded. But it is a 5day process, as a result they would be able to handover the money to me on 22nd March’10

From past 2 days I have been calling them to check the status on refund.
But the response what I get is we have send a person to get your money from their HO, once he gets it we will refund it.

It clearly shows that these guys are trying to take away my money.

Please help me to recover the same.
