The adds. in the road side banner, in the web, in the phone, and from the MTS Dealers all used to says about the MTS plan which is available for Rs.999+taxes with the total amount of Rs.1129/. The assurance given by the MTS and the dealers for this plan is that the internet speed will be upto 9.8 mbps with 40 gb data usage. Based on these false add of MTS and their dealer I have purchased the MTS Data Card and using the same from 9.5.14 onwards and upto this date. No day I used to get the speed of 9.8 mbps from the date of activation. I have made several complaints about the particular speed of 9.8 mbps, instead to make me get the assured speed, I used to receive a lame excuse from MTS.
On 6.10.14 I requested MTS to let me know my plan thru e mail. In response to my mail the MTS replied that : "We would like to inform you that in super 999 plan after 20 GB of data balance speed would be reduced to 144 kbps in case of peer to peer downloading like torrent, FTP etc.. However, rest of the websites would work on high speed till 40 GB." Further to your mail, we apologize that the same was not informed to you at the time of purchasing the device.
In their reply they have cleverly hide to mention the actual assured speed of 9.8 mbps but say in super 999 plan after 20 GB of data balance speed would be reduced to 144 kbps. From this reply any one can understand that upto 20 GB usage speed will be upto 9.8 mbps after crossing 20 GB speed would be reduced to 144 kbps. This is the practice going on every month from the date of activation. But this is a cheating because in all their adds no where they have mentioned about this and more over while purchasing the data card thru their representative I was not informed about this condition.
When I pointed out this irregularity they have simply apologize with me. Therefore they have failed to keepup their assurance and thus they try to cheat the poor customers. Hence there is a deficiency in their service for which they have to pay compensation for their service deficiency and for my mental agony and the amount collected from me towards MTS bill payment may also pl.l be refunded.

Para-2. The adds. in the road side banner, web, in the phone, and from the MTS Dealers all used to says about the MTS plan which is available for Rs.999+taxes with the total amount of Rs.1129/. The assurance given by the MTS and the dealers for this plan is that the internet speed will be upto 9.8 mbps with 40 gb data usage. Based on these false add I have purchased the MTS Data Card and using the same from 9.5.14 onwards and upto this date.
Due to my misfortune no day I used to get the speed of 9.8 mbps from the date of activation. Though I have made several complaints about the particular speed of 9.8 mbps, no correct remedy was given for my complaints. However I was getting 3 to 4 mbps speed intermittently which I felt sufficient.
On 16.8.14 evening all of a sudden the net speed gone to very low ie., 17, 18 and upto 20 kbps. When I checked with speed test.net it also showed the same. Hence immediately I made a complaint to CCC, and my complaint was regd. under no.6643/Aug.
On 17.8.14 based on this complaint, one lady from MTS contacted me at 4 pm. In response to my complaint, that lady told me that I have exhausted 20 gb upto 16.8.14, hence the speed has been reduced and I will not get the assured speed of 9.8 mbps. When I questioned her as to for the past 3 months I am using this MTS so far nobody has told like this and even at the
time of purchase also I was not informed about this now how you are telling like this. For which she replied that I will get upto 9.8mbps speed only upto the usage of 20 gb after 20 gb usage down load speed will be reduced and the upload speed will continue as 9.8 mbps. I was shocked to hear such a disappointing reply from a responsible CC executive. Now I have a doubt whether the MTS and the dealer and the adds are wrong or the CCE is wrong.
Well no problem. If her view or reply is correct there is no meaning of continuing with MTS and I don't wants to lose huge amount as MTS bill for the forth coming days or if her reply is wrong restore the speed as usual. If not done, I request you kindly withdraw the connection immediately without awaiting any further communication from me. If any claim made by MTS after 17.8.14, I regret to say that I have no other go except to redress my grievance to the consumer forum for having failed to keep up your assurances and for your service deficiency.
My humble request pl. donot try to deceive the customers by giving false assurances.

Dear Mr.Tawseef Rajab,
I am to state that on 21.8.14 at 14.09 I received an SMS thru my mobile directing me to clear the outstanding amount of Rs.724/ to enable to disconnect my account. On the other hand the MTS was disconnected on 20.8.14.

MTS Bill for Aug-14 reg.
Dear Sirs,
This is regarding the bill for the month of Aug.14. I was shocked to see the bill amount for the month Aug.14. The seller of the MTS data card, at the time of sales told me that I will get 40 gb data with upto 9.8 mbps speed for the plan of Rs.999+tax=1122. I have agreed and paid the claimed bill amount to MTS so far as per the plan.
Though there is no assured speed o[censored]pto 9.8 mbps, I used to get maximum of 3 mbps speed.
When there was very slow speed i.e., 16, 17 kbps, I contacted the CCC over phone. The recipient of the phone told me that I have exhausted 20 GB data, as such the speed was reduced to 1x. (I am not aware what is 1x). When such annoyed reply was received I was anguished very much and told the lady who talked to me, if the plan is such, cancel the connection. After the discussion I was out of my home and returned to my home after two days. When I tried to connect the Internet it was not connected. After contacting CCC I was told that my connection was disconnected and reconnection will be given with 14 hrs. The reason for this disconnection, perhaps may be the lady who talked to me without analyzing and considering my anguish might have disconnected the connection.
After the reconnection am I given the assured speed o[censored]pto 9.8 mbps or the minimum speed of 2, 3 mbps? No.! Upto 31.8.14 I was getting a very slow speed of 16, 17 kbps. Inspite of my repeated request no remedy was given. How it would be correct and justified to asking me to pay the full amount now?
The demand is not justified and correct. Therefore kindly reconsider the demand and send me a revised and reasonable bill.

Thanking you,
MTS Appellate Authority
Kindly refer yr. e mail dt.18.9.14 sent at 14.50 hrs. The wordings found in the e mail appear to be a flapdoodle. Further your e mail reminds a proverb, “Bare words buy no barley”. One side you have stated that, “we will work on our services to provide you with the most satisfactory services and you will not be required to cancel the data card” On the other you are disconnecting the connection. I don’t understand the logic behind your writing and in your action.
In my E mail I have not asked you to work on your service and I have not asked you to provide me the connection to my most satisfactory. I have just informed you the condition of the MTS that too for information only.
Where as you have replied that you will work on your service and provide me with most satisfactory service. Because of your latest work and action I understand that just disconnecting the service is your most satisfactory service to your customers. Whether you resolve my problem or not, I don’t mind it.
Further in response to my complaint No.SEP/5885 dt.15.9.14 to resolve the problem I was given 22 working hrs. this time limit was further more extended to 48 hrs. by you. That means just to rectify a simple complaint the MTS require 70 wkg. hrs. i.e., near about 9 days. This clearly shows the deficiency in your (MTS) service.
1. The condition and the plan of MTS are: 40 GB data entry with upto 9.8 mbps speed for Rs.999/. From the date of activation and till the cancellation of the connection, no day I was given 9.8 mbps speed. Not even more than 3 mbps speed was given. Therefore there is a service deficiency.
2. On the one hand you have stated “we will work on our services to provide you with the most satisfactory services and you will not be required to cancel the data card” on the other you have disconnected the connection. Which is contradictory.
3. To resolve my complaint 1st time 22 wkg. Hrs time limit was given, but it was extended to further 48 hrs. This clearly shows your service deficiency.
Kindly intimate why I should not redress my grievances to the consumer forum for your above mentioned service deficiency and contradictory reply and action.
Your reply should reach to me within 15 days from the date of receipt of this E mail. Failing which I will presume that the MTS has no objection in filing a case before the appropriate consumer forum.

Dear Sir,
I was shocked to see the bill dt.01/10/2014 for the Period 01/09/2014 - 30/09/2014 claiming for Rs.1048/, because most of the day there was no sufficient and MTS plan speed, and three more days net connection was deactivated. As such how it is correct to claim the full amount for half the usage.
Further in response to my e mail 28.9.14 you have replied that I am in the plan of Rs.999/ with 40 GB data usage and with upto 9.8 mbps speed, where as your backup team while closing my various complaints says that the maximum speed i.e. upto 9.8 mbps speed will be given upto 20 GB usage after crossing 20 GB the speed will be change over to 1x speed, accordingly they are reverting the speed into 1x. That is the reason for my repeated complaints about the speed.
The attached speed test will show how the speed was given upto 20GB usage and after crossing the 20 GB.which will establish the back end teams irregular action. The back end team had reported me over phone on the following dates while closing my complaints. that the speed has been change over to 1x speed.
Sep/11537 Regd. On 27/9/14 Resolved on 28.9.14
Sep/10421 “ 25/9/14 “ 26.9.14
Sep/9469 “ 23.9.14
Sep/5885 “ 22.9.14
My total Data usage upto 24.9.14 was 19.5 GB (Confirmation from CCC)
Without providing the actual assured speed upto 40 GB data usage and reverting to low speed before the completion of full data usage, how it is correct to claim the full plan amount? Let me send the assured speed upto 40 GB, than claim the plan amount. Therefore the amount claimed is highly irregular and against your reply. Hence a Revised bill with reasonable amount reducing the amount already claimed may be sent.
