Reliance Communications — No internet connection, but full billing for the whole month

Hi there,
I have been using reliance for past 1-2 years. I have been going good with their service, but not completely satisfied. But the past three months i am completely disappointed with their service and with the way they responded.

My billing day is 18th of everymonth and my fullspeed quota is 24gb. For the past three months, after using 50% of the day (Which is above 12gb), the net connection in pro3 mode will get disconnected, that will be after 10th of everymonth or even before that. It will get back to normal only after 22nd of that month.In those days sometimes i will be able to connect through 1x mode, sometimes that too will not. I will be out of connection for atleast 10days per month.

If i ask them waive the bill for the unused days, they will say that i have used more than 50% of the alloted quota, so no waiver, which in result i have to pay the bill completely for everything. If i ask them the reason for no connection, either they will say, the connection is fine in your area, the problem is only with yours or they will say 4g migration is the reason. Now i have spend more than 1000rs to get the new 4g dongle as they rushed me by saying i wont be able to connect with the current cdma dongle after a week. Its been 1 and a half month passed, still they are migrating. As usual i got my connection stopped today morning which was working fine till yesterday night.

Hope this is a reliance trick to charge us the full bill reducing our data usage. Any support for this complaint will be of very grateful.

And today morning i contacted their representative through live chat. See their irresponsible chat below.

Shahnawaz: your number is been in process to get migrate to 4g.
Pradeep: this is not a fair answer
Shahnawaz: request you to wait till it get convert to 4g,
Pradeep: i have to wait without internet connection?
Pradeep: you guys will charge me the full bill, as i have already used more than 50% of my quota
Pradeep: is this a trick to reduce my usage and charge me the full bill?
Pradeep: everymonth the same is repeating
Pradeep: once i have used more than 15gb the net connection stops
Pradeep: you people will say we are migrating since june
Pradeep: if i ask for a bill waiver for the not used days, you will say that i have used more than 50% of quota, so no waiver
Pradeep: why do you expect us to pay in full without using the complete package?
Pradeep: is this fair
