Airtel Broadband Disconnection

On my return from abroad on 02 July 2024, I found that the Airtel broadband was not working and I called Customer Care to complain. Inspite of repeated reminders, the complaint was not rectified and on 05 July, I called Customer Care to disconnect my broadband. When no action was taken till 10 July, I sent an email to Customer Care and I got a confirmation via email and sms that it is being disconnected wef 10 July. I got a shock in August when I saw that I had been billed for the full month service and not pro rata. When I sent an email asking for clarification and reason for not disconnecting, they replied that the connection is being disconnected only from 12 August 2024. Inspite of repeated emails to Customer Care and even the appellate authority, I get a standard computer generated reply that my disconnection request is being processed from.12 August. This is inspite their own earlier correspondence confirming disconnection wef 10 July. To add to the injury of not acting inspite repeated reminders, they have added the insult of billing me for services not provided. This is inspite my being a customer for more than 15 years. I am.shocked by the utter lack of response and inefficiency of Customer Care and the appellate authority which appears to be a sham. Do not ever take an Airtel Broadband Connection.

Airtel Extremely poor service

I am facing frequent network disconnection issue since 10-15 days. I had raised complaint so many times over the phone call.Technician - Sudip Kumar had been assigned to us to resolve the issue, but without physical visit, he closed the complaint. Since yesterday I am trying to reopen the complaint but each time customer care giving me false information and closed the call. I had to do follow up calls in each and every step of the complaint. People were not working without follow up calls from me. Before 1-2 months ago when I was shifting my plan from monthly to yearly that time also I received different process and answers from different call center team members. That time it took me 1 month to transfer my bill plan from monthly to yearly.

I complaint you against all team members who included in this process.

Hope it will be resolved soon and serious action should be taken on this matter.

I do not have any hopes from Airtel now. It has been proved that, Airtel team is not working at all.

Example - yesterday I received this message -

Hi, your service request no. [protected] has been assigned to engineer Akshay Digambar Kale ([protected]). He will contact you between (04 Sep 2023 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM). To reschedule as per your availability click http://u.airtel.in/8CD6AQ50LhGO . To track your request, click https://www.airtel.in/5/trckrqst

Since morning, I have not received any call from Airtel and not from assigned engineer. Still he is not visited.

Now I am tried by calling so many customer care executives to follow up my complaint and escalate the issue.

Escalation team is also not responding to my calls.

Finally I called customer care and then I received one more message - Hi, your service request no. [protected] has been assigned to engineer Akshay Digambar Kale ([protected]). He will contact you between (04 Sep 2023 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM).

Recommendation: Never buy airtel connection

Is Airtel Legit?

Airtel earns a trustworthiness rating of 96%

Highly recommended, but caution will not hurt.

Our conclusion: After a detailed review, ComplaintsBoard finds Airtel to be a trustworthy company. Although there's a 37% resolution rate for customer complaints, which deserves attention, Airtel is known for their high standards and safety. If you're thinking about dealing with Airtel, it's wise to check how they handle complaints.

We found clear and detailed contact information for Airtel. The company provides a physical address, 3 phone numbers, and 2 emails, as well as 5 social media accounts. This demonstrates a commitment to customer service and transparency, which is a positive sign for building trust with customers.

Airtel.in has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Airtel.in has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

Airtel.in you are considering visiting, which is associated with Airtel, is very old. Longevity often suggests that a website has consistently provided valuable content, products, or services over the years and has maintained a stable user base and a sustained online presence. This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

Airtel website is deemed to be popular and indicating that it receives a high volume of traffic. It is important to be cautious when using a highly trafficked website, as it may be a target for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities or steal personal information.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • Despite a high level of trust, our investigation found issues with Airtel's service, including poor customer service, lack of accountability, and responsibility to resolve complaints. Customers may face long wait times for responses, receive generic or unhelpful answers or no response at all. Only 37% of 2 complaints were resolved.
  • Airtel protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to Airtel. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

Airtel International roaming

(V Chandrasekharan

[protected], Chennai )

Dear Sir,

I belong to Chennai and am now in the US on a visit to my son.

I am with Airtel for a long time and have taken an Airtel International Roaming pack for Rs 899/- for my present visit.

While the voice and Data are working, SMS is not working in the IR pack.

My bank in Chennai is trying to send me a verification message on some important matter thro SMS but it is continuously failing.

I have been contacting your helpdesk thro AT thanks app and thro Whatsapp [protected] but no one is able to provide any assistance in the matter. They abruptly stop the communication beyond a point.

As I am in a difficult situation, I request you to look into the matter and set right the problem in the Messaging part of my International Roaming pack.

Thanking you and with regards

-V Chandrasekharan

Airtel No service or intermittent service

My number is [protected] and I am residing in Yapral Secunderabad. I have been complaining about low signal, no signal and no volte many times and there is no response . There seems to be no tower near by and many of your old customers have switched to jio. I am sorry to say that Jio has excellent service in this area whereas your service is intermittent and bad not to say no response from your side even once . BSNL is far better than your service.

Airtel Liars

Hi,

One of the executive Mr.Sanjeev Kumar had approached me for the broadband connection at my office. I had provided him all the detail desired by him and paid the 6 month advance rental charges Rs.3003.

Later on I had received the confirmation from airtel that installation team will fixup the connection - ID No. 21-[protected] on 3rd Sept 23. On visiting they informed me that there is no possibility of the connection here. They will contact with the team and will let me know the possibility.

Till today neither connection is done nor my pay is retransferred. This is an absolute irresponsible work of airtel team. To me big surprises if this is the scene then why Sanjeev had confirmed me and asked me to pay the amounts.

I request airtel to refund my amount back and ask Mr.Sanjeev to send an apology letter to me. Else I will go to consumer court.

Regards,

Maniesh

Airtel airtel tower intus-issue reg

Dear sir,

I am working in Pudukottai District, Avudaiyar Kovil Circle, Karur Postal, Karur Village. Since yesterday 11-08-2023 from 05:00 am my phone and friends number [protected], [protected], [protected] and many unspecified users have been put in the predicament of not being able to contact through phone. Because (Airtel-INTUS) network area around 5 km more than 100 people are affected. As a result of this, essential information exchange, internet service, education, economy and other office functions have been paralyzed. These technical failures are due to the communication of information about near misses or pre-planning of potential mishaps.

Therefore I humbly request you to give us reasonable damages and reason and rectify this immediately.
