Airtel poor internet service

From last 5 Months my broadband connection is dead at-least for 5 times, and each time they maintain a consistency of at least 20 days to rectify it.. and im a fool paying premium charges for it.. Though the connection was dead for almost 25 days i ended up paying ~1600 for the month.. and my landline was down from months together ...
At one point of time i opted Airtel not for its speed and availability but for its service .. and now that too looks pathetic ..

Airtel unauthorized charges

Tonight I received a message from ad-airccm on 9th may, at 0214hrs " dear customer. Rs.99 have been deducted towards the international roaming rental of rs99 activated on 09-may-16" I have not asked any service like that and I am not going abroad. It is very shameful to add such charges arbitrarily tht too late night when nobody is watching. I hope all the cliants note this sort of nefarious activity by airtel. They must reverse these charges and stop this sort of practices.
They are also suddenly adding up data usage by huge amount toward the end of the billing cycle.

airtelpresence (airtel customer service team),
Dear Ms. Singh, I am still waiting for the reply to my complaint, regarding unauthorised charges message I received. You said it will take a few days for the reply. I think, it is more than 15 days now, or you think I will forget regarding these unauthorized unscrupulous charges being levied. Airtel is making crores by this sort of illegal charges which most of the customers do not know or do not complain.

Airtel slow internet speed in bachupally

Hi,
I have been using airtel broadband plan of rs 649 for 2 years with a speed of 2 Mbps. 6 months back there was a new plan offered from Airtel for rs 615 with broadband speed of 4 mbps. One of my co-residents in my apartment have been using Airtel 615 plan and they are getting 4 Mbps speed.
When I called Airtel Customer Care and asked to upgrade my plan to rs 615 plan with speed 4 Mbps, I was told that my profile is locked for 2 Mbps and my area is not feasible for 4 Mbps.
How would 4 mbps is not feasible for me and is possible for my co-resident in same apartment?
And my uncle living in Miyapur is getting 8 Mbps speed for the same plan.

If Airtel is not able to provide same speed/service for all users in different areas in same city for the same broadband plan, why are they charging same amount from all customers?

Please help me to get atleast 4mbps speed.

Regards
Sudheer

Airtel airtel / prepaid : airtel deactivated my prepaid number without notification

Hi,

I am using my airtel post paid :[protected] number since 2007 and later I converted in to prepaid. 8 months back I traveled to usa and the number is active even here. But since few weeks I am not getting any msgs, so I e-mail to airtel customer care they said that, my number is deactivated and assigned to some one as no usage fine.
But I kept my mobile active and also did regular recharges. And my question is when a customer is using the number since 7 years how come airtel deactivate my number with any notifications like waring msgs and calls.
Now I want my number back as it is linked with many financial and other activities.

Please help me here.

Thanks

Airtel unauthorized deductions

Number : [protected]

I had taken this number for voice calling only but airtel activated some basic internet pack and kept deducting charges. When i came to know about deductions, i called customer care and asked about deductions. They told me that the pack has been deactivated now and there wont be any deductions any more. I also received a message about deactivation of pack. I also received call from porting service of airtel that i will be credited 50rs back. but neither i received 50 rs back and neither pack got deactivated. my balance kept deducting. i called customer care again and they said they don't have any record of earlier deactivation.

When will airtel stop scamming people by activating packs on number without any requests? and when will apathy of airtel customer care executives stop? should consumers keep buying prepaid numbers of airtel even after knowing that all these issues with airtel are ever so pervasive?

Airtel mobile no. 91 [protected]

I always admired the services provided by Airtel India. As I was supposed to go out of country as such rang customer care On 25th December 2015 for a solution of receiving the calling number on my mobile while abroad. They suggested me for International Roaming plan @149 per month plus a basic plan of Rs.199/- per month. I agreed to with the feeling that my monthly family plan charges will be reduced to. My bill cycle is 2nd of previous month to 1st of current month. I was quite vigilant on bill amount. On 3rd of January 2016 i.e just after days, received the bill of extra ordinarily high amount & same tensioned me. After that contacting customer care through Mail for disabling International Roaming plan with immediate effect. To my utter surprise unbilled usage appeared of Rs.325/- by the time . Ultimately a worst experience of accepting their suggestion of International plan after shelling out Rs.3000/- around within a span of 8 days without gaining anything. Adarsh Aggarwal

Airtel inflated broadband billing

I have been using Airtel Landline & Broadband Services for the last 9.5 years i.e. since 7th July 2006. My Landline No is [protected] For the last 9.5 years I have been using a plan wherein Night time usage from 9 pm to 8 am is unlimited and free. All of a sudden after 9.5 years the night time usage from 9 pm to 8 am has been included in my Bill dated 27th November 2015 and all sorts of new jargon such as BILL CAP and BILL CAP DISCOUNT have been shown in the bill with an inflated amount of Rs. 2349.89. For 9.5 years my Bill Amount is only at minimum which is currently Rs. 615.60 and I always pay the same 10 days before the due date. After several mails Airtel has reversed the inflated charges in my bill dated 27th November 2015 and I had thought that the issue was resolved. But again in my Bill dated 27th December 2015 the night time usage has been charged yet again and the bill has been inflated to Rs. 2894.73 I have not received any communication from Airtel as regards what is BILL CAP or BILL CAP discount or any other jargon and an Airtel Executive says that it is not their responsibility to inform a customer about any change in the Plan which I have using for 9.5 years Regards, S.
