Pathetic Service

I'm writing this with utmost disgust with Airtel DTH service in my area. The people serving from local service center are fraud. They will call you and ask for OTP and say I'll visit in an hour, please share the OTP now, it's raining outside. Once you provide the OTP, they reschedule your home visit request to next day as per their own convenience. Also the remote they are providing is of very cheap quality. It stop working every 3/4 months and you need to replace it and of course pay for it. This is a cheap Business strategy and I've decided I'll port my DTH connection to any local DTH service provider.

DTH issue

I book airtel dTH connection today, but my connection not active till now.

It has been a torture and

It has been a torture and harassment for me for the last few days, I feel depress by the false hope, assurance and timing given by your staff.
Few words are repeated 100 times like Sorry, highlighted, emailed, four hours, just one day.... all meaningless. There has been no action at all.

Change in airtel dth plan

With repeated SMS my airtel dth plan has not been changed till date. Very poor and pathetic service from airtel. Still over one month no one is there to hear my request for change in dth plan. Other way is to switch to other network service.

Please tell about Airtel dth customer care number to Know recharge plans with packages and planes

Airtel xstream

Need to upgrade my Airtel Dth to Airtel xstream

MULTI DTH CONNECTION

Since last 3 or 4 days I have been promised by Sanjay technician to add one more dth connection to my existing 3 set tops multi connection package. No response doesnt bother to attend nor pick up calls. Tried requesting on customer care and they promise to call back and install but till now no connection at all. Seems AIRTEL not interested in making customers happy. Need to decide now to switch to better DTH provider.

Airtel Service Request of display not functional not addressed

Hello Airtel DTH Nodal Officer,

This is Mr. Joaquim Antao, a consumer of Airtel DTH having a number a connections bearing number xxxxxx and xxx and xxxx. Both the connections are in my name Mr. Joaquim Antao.

I hereby bring to your notice and complaint to you regarding No action/response towards solving the fault with the display of the Airtel DTH connection no. Xxxxccc. It's since Sunday 30th June, 2019 wherein I telephoned Airtel DTH customer care west region on xxxxxc and registered a complaint regarding the same that the display on my xxxxxx connection shows firstly it has not been recharged and later error code one.
The customer care executive registered the complaint with Service request No. Xxxcc and shared with me the engineer/technician contact number as xxxcccc through an SMS that I received on my registered mobile number.

The Executive informed me first that the technician visit was scheduled at 3:30pm on 01st July, 2019, but no one visited nor the technician picked up the call on the number provided to me by Airtel customer care. I again called customer care, who informed me first that the technician would visit before 12noon on 2nd July, 2019 and then by 5:30pm on 02nd July, 2019. But till now being 03rd July, 2019, no technician or Airtel DTH service person has visited.

This is a very clear case of Airtel DTH company Lying, cheating a genuine customer like which I think needs to be published and made known to the Indian public at large. Airtel has caused me mental harassment damaging my health, robbing me as from 30th June, 2019 my DTH account balance is being deducted but I am not being able to view for technical error done by and on the part of Airtel as a company.

Kindly address to my complaint and rectify the fault the DTH connection has being facing by 03rd July,2019 or else I will take necessary action of approaching the Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum and register a complaint against Airtel for cheating, harassment and public this complaint on a public platform.

If you don't address the problem by today which is the 04th day, you may remove/uninstall your Airtel DTH connection installation equipments including but not only limiting to the Dish, cable, settop box etc. And refund me the entire amount including the recharge balance as on 29th June, 2019 and all the cost taken by you from your Airtel DTH setup technicians and also compensate for all the harassment and cheating you as a company are causing to a honest genuine customer Mr Joaquim Antao.

Looking forward to your reply and prompt and honest action.

Regards
Joaquim Antao

Worst Service ever seen

I have been customer of Airtel DTH since 2010. Earlier it was good and the the response to any queries was quick. In the last 3 years either I find no response or very delayed response. That too after requesting for disconnection.

Last time my STB was not functioning. I made multiple requests. But nobody has turned up. Then I myself checked the problem and got it rectified.

Recently I have requested for relocation of the connection within the same area. But no service engineer has come. Moreover we get calls from customer care asking for feed back and sometimes assuring that the matter will be resolved within the next one hour, which does not come. We get calls from service engineers. But they will not come. Finally I got vexed and requested for disconnection. thereafter I got calls from customer care asking for reasons (as if they are going to rectify). The first caller (in English) from Customer care assured that the matter will be resolved within an hour (same version). But 3 hours gone, no body turned up.. The second caller (in Hindi) again asks for the reason. I don't understand, why they don't have a record of our earlier grievances.

However till date no one has resolved the issue and I've strictly decided not to go with Airtel. Now even planning to surrender my phone connection.

Is Airtel is seeing all this? Hope so...

Not connect costumer care

Really so pathetic, careless

Really so pathetic, careless and horrible services.
And there is no one other than consumer forum to to listen regarding there failure in everything.
Fake customer care services.
I strongly recommend everyone not to buy Airtel services and have a faith on its customer care services because every now and then they will make you fool only.
Go for other options.

I am experiencing the same

I am experiencing the same for the last few days

bad service

I agree they have bad service network .. need to close down business

Complain

My airtel digital TV some channel has been stopped before few days on to my all channels

Plan details for Airtel digital tv

First of all I would like to show my displeasure with regards to the package subscription on my Airtel d2h# 3015*****

Earlier channel 277 was running with same plan and since last couple of days it suddenly disappeared. This is very annoying as to every now and then plans are being changed without being updated to the customer.

Also another issue aroused yesterday i.e. 5th April at 11:29PM when I called the Airtel d2h customer care number# 12150 to enable the safe custody on my connection, but the same has not been done and charges deducted today inspite of me informing to do the needful. This is very disappointing and very bad that such a big company has such executives working and taking money from customers. This is very annoying as money deducted from my wallet yesterday and will be done for coming days as well. Please refund excess money deducted.

I don't want to continue using my d2h connection with Airtel anymore and
will never recommend anyone to take Airtel d2h, as they are fraud people.

Thanks,
Avi Tuteja

Please don't spoil your day

Please don't spoil your day or waste your time and money by opting for Airtel digital TV; very worst customer service, no response to complaints registered about overcharging during reinstallation, very worst behavior of technician, not able to view channels even within a day of reinstallation, recharge to wrong account,which still is not refunded, no receipt given for the amount paid, when a complaint was raised for all this with customer care, the technician comes to your door step with a daring attitude to fight with you; what other reason would one require to opt out of Airtel digital TV and choose a competitor..

I have done the recharge

I have done the recharge yesterday.
. But amount is not reflecting and my services are still suspended condition . contacted your customer care, but they given wrong information. Escalated to supervisor Dinesh. But responce was pathetic. If this is the condition, i will go with another service provider

Very disappointed with airtel

Given number is not working...Airtel makes a foolish us....I have try many times but does not get any solution..and now I leave Airtel tv

Pathetic Services of IPTV and bad behavior of airtel Technicians

Called number of times to airtel team for digital TV not working, no technician visits, register complaint 3 times, even after escalations no one showed to repair the same.

would never suggest anyone to go for Airtel digital TV services.
should have listened to my friends who warned me about pathetic and worst services ever of airtel.

would request people to not go for airtel digital or Dish services.
technicians even don't give a damn about escalations, they just say you can talk to anyone but we are not available after 6 in evening no matter what are hours of operation.

Arminder Singh

Airtel Service

Airtel not resolving my complaints and not even replying to mails. Shows their true colors

Complaint : My STB is

Complaint : My STB is rebooting automatically several times in an hour . I can not see any program. So I have requested the Bangalore Airtel DTH Customer service center to replace the STB immediately.The same complaint I have lodged several times before and the replay I got is "STB is out of stock". The same reply I am getting now also.

If you do not have set of box , why cant you stop your service. Why you are giving false assurance that " we will replace the STB when we receive the stock " . Because of your STB problem , I am missing football world cup Final

Do you think customers are your slaves ? I have got all the records of my complaints. Do not think I will keep silent this time.

I am going to consumer court if I do not receive replacement within 24 hours and file a suit against you.

WORST SERVICE FROM AIRTEL DIGITAL TV

I wish I had taken the trouble to read all the comments on this page before taking the infinity package. At the time of installation, the technicians had no clue how to run the cable and said that it could not be done because of the wiring in my residence. I had to call my electrician in their presence and he pulled the cable in 30 minutes. The technician himself admitted that if he was not there they could not have done the job because "they had only 6 months experience in this"!!!
After the recent storm I am without any signal and repeated calls to the Customer care are useless as all you get "I am really sorry" and you complaint has been escalated and it will be resolved with 48 hours. It is well past the 48 hours mark and talking to the supervisors is as bad as they have no solution apart from saying that they "have shortage of technicians".
These people have or do not wish to know what is Customer service.
If you are considering using them-DONT. Stay away

Pathetic service and extremely irresponsible behaviour

After booking a new connection and Even after 4days of issuing a customer id to me no one turned up to do the setup and after calling thrice every day they just assure that it will be done today.

I am going to change the service provider and going to recommend Tata Sky to everyone and not to go for airtel dth.

Worst ever experience, pathetic service and zero genuinity of the call centre advisors assurance.

Even the senior Advisor are also useless. Even Dish TV is better than you The so called Big Brand airtel.

Pathetic Services and bad behavior of Technicians

Called number of times to airtel team for digital TV not working, no technician visits, register complaint 3 times,
even after escalations no one showed to repair the same. technicians are saying they are not available after 6 even when hours of operation are between 10 AM to 7 PM.

would never suggest anyone to go for Airtel digital TV services.
should have listened to my friends who warned me about pathetic and worst services ever of airtel.

would request people to not go for airtel digital or Dish services.

The same issue, I Agreed with

The same issue, I Agreed with you. THEY ARE NOT IN POSITION TO HELPING FOR CUSTOMERS. THEY ARE BIG CHEATER/FRAUD.

Horrible service from airtel

Are you an airtel DTH customer them welcome to the world of patience. The most unprofesssional company and only comprable with domestic help. Who donot care about the service but need money at the end of month. They are very agressive during new installation with rain of promise. And once you are hooked them you will see the real colour of unprofessionalism. This is only possible because of customer like us. Can we do something so that airtel will learned a lesson.

Ridiculous, pathetic and incompetent service

Most disgusting and horrendous service I have ever experienced with these people. Good for nothing guys!!.. Don't go for Airtel DTH, you will learn a lesson for life.

I have been having DTH for sometime and I am repenting to have taken the annual subscription. Almost every month, there will be one issue or the other which may be ok, but to get the technician to fix it, they will make you to experience hell. Finally, after repeated calls for at least 7 days, someone will show up. Do some hotch-potch stuff and take money. So, if you really see, you end up paying at least 200 every month on top of the monthly subscription. Though they sell 'annual' package with unlimited channels, now-a-days they are saying that star channels are not going to be included.

Now I am going through hell again because of the signal issue. For first four days, they didn't register the complaint saying that they had 'slot issue' and the technician was not available in the area. Upon insisting they make 'false commitments' saying that the issue will be resolved within 24 hrs. Nothing happens. Call them, they put on on-hold, transfer to their floor manager, false commitments with abundant number of sorries and the story repeats.

Now I am asking for disconnection and again, they are putting me to 'call back' and I know no one is going to call me back. The most pathetic part is the way they excuse themselves. a) concerned is busy b) they don't have option in the system c) no direct contact for that specific department.

They set perfect example for how the most ridiculous, pathetic and junk service.

I am throwing the Airtel DTH box right into the dust-bin even for which I am worried about the environment.

No one take call

My digital tv has not working last 4/5 days. I have tried so many times but no one is take call/every times line are busy. So I request you please do not take Airtel products.

They are very gridy people.

yes I also had the bad Experience with Airtel DTH

This request was raised on Thursday for New Connection.

I requested to Send the Engineer on Saturday morning, When I contacted today morning on 12148 they informed me that this will be completed by 1 PM today and they Provided the Phone Number: XXX, When I contacted XXXX they informed me that there was a delay this will be done between 3:30PM to 4:PM.

When i try to contact them on mobile number XXXX, There is no response and they even don't pick the phone.

I Don't want to go with the irresponsible team. so i raised the request for canceling the connection.

I faced the same issue, I

I faced the same issue, I WILL SUGGEST EVERYONE PLEASE DON'T BUY AIRTEL DTH, THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO RESPOND THE EMAIL OR CALL. THE NODEL OFFICE FOR KARNATAKA CONTACT NUMBER HAS BEEN CHANGED, I CAME TO KNOW, WHEN I CALLED TO THE EXISTING NUMBER. THEY DON'T HAVE MINIMUM RESPONSIBILITY TO COMMUNICATE THE MESSAGE THROUGH WEBSITE.

your plans are very costly comparison with other providers

Dear Team,

your plans are very costly comparison with other providers so i am plan closed your DTH and think about others.

Airtel IPTV - pathetic customer service

This is to bring to the Forum's notice and Airtel that we have serious problems being an Airtel iptv Customer.

On 9th June 2013, a request was made to Airtel (No. 33884700) regarding upgradation of our iptv/broadband plan so that more channels will be available to us (142 as against to 107 in current plan).

A series of pains taking phone calls were made to Airtel Customer service (Request Nos. 34503900, 34546872, 34685516, 34732630, 35229338 and 35525678). On several occasions, the Floor Manager on duty was also spoken to. All of them had listened to our concern however no action was taken to upgrade the plan. Few callbacks were received that clearly indicate the disconnect between customer service and tech support at Airtel. As per the Customer service, the plan has been upgraded and as per the tech support, upgradation is not done and they need a new request. But Customer service doesnt raise a new request for upgradation as per their records it is upgraded.

Only Airtel has the shameless approach and audacity to send an update at the end of month that I have been charged as per the New bill plan.The ironicalpart is that I am still to receive the bill.

The only option left for me is to approach some Forum like this for getting the needful done. Else I shall be forced to take up the matter with Consumer Courts.

3000086027 improper services and unfair trade practice by Airtel

I bought a AIRTEL DTH connection 2 years back,but got fed up of its services in a short time.The value added services got activated by itself without any customer request,and when the request for their deactivation was made,the amount would automatically deduct from my account balance.When numerous complaints were made to the company in this regard through its so-called customer service centres,it bore no fruit.And finally i opted to step back by not recharging further and got another DTH connection of a different company.Then the company started making frantic calls and urged me to reactivate the connection and lured me with its special offers.They assured me of better services in future with prompt services.After their numerous requests,I reactivated the acc. id 3000086027 with Rs.704 including a reactivation fee of Rs.20 on 03-06-2013,but as we say that ''old habits die hard''.,the company started showing its colours once again and i was facing the TV screen once again with its '''no signal'' message flashing on it in bold.Then I started calling the customer care[which actually does;nt care for the customer] which continuously spoke its message of inconvenience regretted,but actually did;nt take any measures to rectify this.And one more thing that i;m not able to understand is that when we are paying a monthly service amount as recharge,then why we are forced to pay Rs.250 everytime as visit charges to their so-called technicians who actually are of no use.So,friends I am disconnecting it finally with a forced option to move to the consumer forum for deficiency in its services and unfair trade practice adopted and would like to advise everybody not to take an aAIRTEL DTH connection fo their better even if given for free.

Symptomatic of "INDIA"?

The anattended complaints about Airtel, is a phenomena that puts INDIA back down the list of aspiring countries wanting to be a world power. Face it. It is not only Airtel that lets India down. Who, apart from Anna Hazare and/or Arvind Khegriwal even care.
Airtel has our money, but we don't get the service that we paid for. Their stomachs are full, their job "secure", why should they be concerned for anyone else? This is India. Full of religion but no reality. No spiritual power to say YES to what is good and NO to what is bad.
Now can you tell me how to migrate from Airtel to Vodaphone?

AIRTEL DIGITAL TV

My TV keeps saying no signal. All connections to the TV are proper. There are no obstructions to the dish and there are no adverse weather conditions either.
I am facing this problem from August till date and I have had 8 visits from their so called "engineers" who seem to fix temporarily but within a few days or hours and again we face the same issue.
I have contacted them numerous times on 18001028080.
The complaint numbers are
02/08/2012: 21493843
24/08/2012: 22625453
30/08/12: 22902153

12/09/12: 23558571
18/09/12: 23835120
11/10/12: 24929966
The customer service agent informed me that in September itself I have called them 30 times. The details regarding the number of calls and visits has been confirmed to be my their executive Raj Dhangar on 11/10/12 at 17:30.
He even agreed and told me to go to a consumer court.
When I asked him to speak to a manager he initially told me it’s not possible, followed by it will take 2 hrs. When I said I’d wait, he eventually hung up on me.

Pls send me your customer

Airtel-Worst service Provider

I had made a complain in regards to ordering an remote.Reference number-23165733 on 05 September 2012 wherein i was promised a remote would be delivered within 24 hours by the service engineer.Again i filed a complain after speaking to the airtel supervisors on 11 September-Reference-23493286....wherein i was promised a remote the next day and was told that action would be taken against the service engineer for not complying with the early order.Till date no remote has been delivered to me.I wonder what service you provide to your customers?Every complain we make we get the ready made answer saying that we are sorry for the inconvenience caused and we promise that our service engineer will call on you at this particular time tomorrow.Your supervisor provided me with 2 local mobile numbers which are always switched off!I feel that due to this deficiency in service airtel is likely to lose customers as they take in undergraduate boys as their service engineers who lack the basic communication skills and no nothing except to fix the dish antenna.I hope i get a favourable reply within 24 hours failing which i shall approach the consumer court for deficiency in service.Ever since this Email I have received 5 more emails promising that the remote will be delivered shortly but till today 16-09-12 i have not heard from the service engineer.I would like to inform all future DTH customers to never take an airtel DTH connection as i am facing this problem of no customer service for the last years.

Airtel DTH customer service

please avoid purchasing airtel DTH. Whenever the service is added the service is prompt but if you wish to remove a service then you will face a constant technical problem..... Airtel is a big no no.... i am changing over to .... fed up in less than 6 months

Airtel Digital TV Complaint Box Not Working: Cust ID :3008829964

Dear Sir,

I have brought the Airtel Digital TV HD recorder 21/09/2011 and currently it is in warranty also. Now the digital box is not working and I have raised the compliant in Airtel Customer Care. After the long follow-up the service person came and confirmed that there is a problem in the box and went away.

Again the long follow- up, Airtel service person came with another old box for replacement instead of NEW box. We brought new box and if any problem in the box airtel is replacing with OLD BOX. What is logic behind this?
My box is still warranty and it is new box, how you can change to old box instead of servicing the box.

I request you to response my query and solve my problem. Airtel taking the daily burning money even it is not working.
Incase no response from Airtel Nodal Officer, I will file a complaint in Consumer Court against this.

NO CONNECTIVITY AT UCOBANK ZONAL OFFICE, HIMLAND HOTEL SHIMLA

I AM OWNER OF MOBILE NO. 98161-00925 AND WORKING AS OFFICER IN UCO BANK HOTEL HOMLAND SHIMLA. NO SIGNAL IS THERE AT HIMLAND HOTEL. PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL

No action has been taken by airtel DTH team for more than 10 day

I have a digital TV connection at my place and my customer ID is 3010318523. I am facing problem with the signal since 6th June, 2012 and have been placing my complaints with airtel since then (almost once every day), but no action has been taken yet.
These are the complaint numbers which were assigned to me:

1) 19828292 - 16th June, 2012
2) 19719134 - 13th June, 2012
3) 19678975 - 12th June, 2012
4) 19504351 - 7th June, 2012
5) 19503384 - 7th June, 2012
6) 19479039 - 6th June, 2012

NO ACTION has been taken by airtel for these complaints and my connection status is still the same since, 6th June, 2012. So, far I have received only one engineer visit (7th June, 2012) that too he did not fix the problem and promised me that he will get it fixed the next day. Since, then no engineer has visited my place to fix it. This whole thing has caused me lot of mental agony as I call customer care almost 4 times in a day and end up with no action and false promises.
I have talked to rani yesterday (interaction ID: 289334992) and she promised me the same thing, but no action has been taken yet. I had once talked to rajendran, veralaxmi too and my problem is not yet fixed.
There are other interaction IDs available with me on which no action has been taken and only false promises are made (interaction ID: 288812829, 80188657, 288942685, etc.). I have the whole list of interaction Ids, compalint numbers and representatives names. I am not able to understand that why is airtel just not fixing my issue.
I request you guys to fix the problem ASAP and give me some concrete ETA when the problem will be resolved. If it cannot be resolved then please stop charging me and revert the whole money into my bank account (Service charges + setup box charges).

AIRTEL's Customer Handling - By-Far WORST EXPEREINCE - IPTV

All, If you wish you have a bitter expereince, like me, dealing with an organization, which is IRRESPONSIBLE, NON-ACCOUNTABLE and NON-CUSTOMER FOCUSSED, please think about AIRTEL. Learnings are: (a) "Airtel IPTV CANNOT BE ENABLED IN EXISTING CONNECTION, only possible in NEW CONNECTION", (b) If you have heard Positives of IPTV, IT IS COMPLETELY FAKE and WRONG FEEDBACK (c) NET, NET....STAY AWAY from IPTV Benefits.... (d) If you want to WASTE your good days in Horrifying expereince with Airtel..... GOOD LUCK with AIRTEL IPTV thinking.. To know, more about my experience, I am sharing my e-mail interaction with you, masking the phone numbers and e-mails..... Suggest you read in chronological order bottom-to-top. Goutam ================================================== On 15-Nov-2011, at 3:24 PM, SPOKE TO APPLET OFFICER FOR 45 mins....: Finally, I get a response after shouting "on the top of my voice for 46 mins", while talking to the ESCALLATION desk, so called "Applet Officers". Sajid - Applet Officer, turned-out to the hero; was patient enough, after a lot of pressure, ensure the IPTV Sales Manager - Praveen calles me. Interesting, I am told by the Sales Manager team that "Airetel IPTV connection CANNOT be given to EXISTING CONNECTION", but "Can be given to NEW CONNECTIONS ONLY" at a cost of 1500 rs..... On further questioning some common sense questions....answer is "He will talk to technical team and get back"....and he hang-up the phone Now, I wonder if new connection can have this facility, which is coming though the same instrument and distribution box, which is supplying the existing connection, why can't IPTV be enabled in OLD CONNECT??? So, Yet another careless response..... ================================================= Hello, Again, another proof of COMPLETE CARELESSNESS and NON-ACCOUNTABLILITY. Till now, I have not received any response from neither the Sales Office nor the ESCALLATION DESK of Airtel. I wonder WHO IN AIRTEL should I reach out to get a response back. To Consumer Grivance Cell-> Bringing this to your notice.

Escallation Action Taken: Realising the customer service representative's limitation to action on request, I escallated to Team Leader/Floor Supervisor Arvind and Dilip S. Requested for sharing higher authorities contacts, but I get a response "Cannot be shared....pls write to Nodal Officer" and the Direct Number to speak (Mon-Fri, 9:00 to 6:00) is 080-4111-5338. This number is a board number and NOT DIRECT number; the system is FAULTY and system doesn't recognize the compaint number. Hence, the NODAL Officer CANNOT BE REACHED directly. This is a second instance of taking MISLEADING CUSTOMER with FALSE INFORMATION and FALSE PROMISES. Hence, reaching out to you through this e-mail, Hoping to DRAW RIGHT ATTENTION and bring this to immediate closure. There is severe LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY.

Complaint plus Connection termination request

Its been an awful experience since the day I applied for AIRTEL IP TV SERVICES and I've gone through worst ever service delivery one after another.

My connection is not working since one and half month (5314872), and its been a month I requested for connection termination (due to non service) which is also not yet processed (5368358).

Above all l I am getting calls for non payment of bills during the period services were down which is highly unacceptable.

I've posted complaints in all ways - to costumer care and to nodal officers as well but not getting any response as well as resolution.

hence need an immediate solution for this.

Good evening,
This is to inform you that I am disgusted with the services of Airtel IPTV, let
me tell you what has happened till date and the next step is consumer court if
this issue is not resolved.
Being an existing customer of Airtel since the days before Airtel (i.e.
with JTM) for my mobile connections, I took Airtel broadband landline as well.
I was called by Airtel when IPTV was launched in Bangalore and even when people
told me that Airtel services were the worse I proudly stated my long
association with the brand and decided to take the Airtel IPTV connection.
I requested for an executive to visit me and check my setup for
compatibility,around the mid Sept.an executive named Suresh Babu 09916702126
visited me and checked my modem and wifi setup and said it was compatible. I
then filled up the application form (form no.281425) was told to made out a
cheque for Rs.999/- and was told I would hear from the service team in a few
days.
A week later I got a call from the service person Anand 09060925459 who tells
me that my modem and wifi setup is not compatible and I had to pay Rs.2500/-
for another modem and set top box. He said there was no point in coming to my
house as there was nothing he could do.
I asked for his manager's number and called him, Mr. Latish 09741101862, I told
him that I was given wrong information and if not resolved, I was going to go
to customer court. This man tells me, you can go to customer court if you wish
thats your problem. Next I spoke to the service manager Santosh 9686656016. He said he will check and get back to me in 5 mins, now he avoids my cals!!!
I then called Airtel to make a complain and was given a complaint no.4464736, I
received a call from an Airtel person who spoke to the sales person Suresh Babu
and confirmed that I was given information saying my modem and wifi setup was
compatible as taught to him by his team leader. The Airtel person took the team
leader's ph. no. and tried to reach him but couldnt. HE informed me of the same
and told he he was escalating the issue and gave me a new complaint no.
4515046.
Now when I check on the complaint numbers, both are listed closed and resolved
by the back end team..........WHAT THE HELL !!!!
My issue is still not resolved and when ever I call to check on the status they
drop my call..............I AM FED UP!!!
I want my money back, hell with your IPTV and to hell with AIRTEL, once I get
my money back I am cancelling my landline and mobile connections. You have
proven what people are saying about your services, they are the worse in
India.
If I dont get a response to this mail, I will go to consumer court and get
justice from there.

Airtel DTH service charges 400 rs to visit you?

I just called 12150 and told them that I'm unable to switch on my setup box. they asked if I connected properly, I said yes and then they said if I log complaint it will cost 100 rs and if adapter is gone its 400 rupees. I'm just 7 month done with Airtel DTH. I'm going to widthdraw my Airtel Landline, DTH, mobile etc if airtel guys are not coming with a solution. this is cheating and they are not even not ready to hold my balance even when I said I'm unable to switch on the system!!

Pathetic service by airtel IPTV

I am holding the broadband and IPTV connection of airtel. I had planned to construct my house hence requsted to shift my broadband and IPTV connection to new location. I registered the complaint on around 20th July on the 121. They replied that time for shifting is 72 hrs but due to server upgradation they will take 22 days and i need to pay Rs300 for the shifting charge. But till to yesterday nobody has even bothered to call and visit my house. Yesterday i lodged the complaint again on 121 again and they said that within 24 hrs our engineer will visit. But till now nobody has even tried to pick a call and over that i had received the bill of around Rs1100/- to pay for the connection which i am not using from around an month. This is ridiculous and pathetic service on the part of Airtel. A very very casual approach towards the customers. Request you to please take the necessary measures to shift my connection asap to the new location.

IPTV Fraud billing Charges against 01141076498

As my plan is Rs 999. Bill should contain Rs 999 and the taxes but it shows Rs 1308. As I have already lodged the complaint against calls charges. On first day Airtel engineer has made all of the calls and secondly apart from that I have not made any calls. I have already paid Rs 1750 for installation of IPTV on the first buy now why you are showing the taxes on that. It is not part of payment then why you are charging the taxes. It was a IPTV box not a service. Please exclude call charges and tax on IPTV. Now bill should be Rs 999 and service charges. Now it will be Rs 1102. Due date of my bill is 17th August 2011. Please resolve my query else I will not pay anything and take the legal action on you.

complaint

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is to inform you that my Airtel landline Rs.999/-plan (num-01145356562) and so eventually my Wifi internet connection is not working from past four days evening. The representative in the morning promised me it would be serviced within 17:35 and hence I waited without going out or doing any other work as this is my major priority till 5:35 and when no one ever called me I had again called up when another representative informed me that no technical engineer had addressed the case and that he will re-address it into high priority and again no one called me and hence when I called up at 20:00, a rude representative answered and he again gave me the same answer and again said he will put it in high priority. Remember this number is toll free only to airtel am calling them from my vodafone as my Airtel phone is dead. All the cost i took and all the pain of not going anywhere on a sunday, my official work getting spoilt and this rude representative said he cant take it up and when i asked him to transfer to his manager he cut the call. When again I called yet another time, he said manager is busy. This is the heights. Am a team leader in a very high tech networking company and the reasons they give are crap (literally)

Please get this complaint taken in high priority.

P.S Just remember a customer care representative should be concerned about the customer and his complaints. If we do not pay bill on the concerned date you cut the internet connection and this is what customers get back right. Awesome.

Am not paying a single penny if this is not taken care in next 6 working hours.

This has been ridiculous, the company all of sudden can't behave so irresponsible.

Please look forward for that
sincerely ,

Pathetic Service standards in IPTV

I have Airtel IPTV connection in Noida. my telephone no. is 0120-4248730 the iptv has not been working since the 5th of June 2011 and i have not got any resolution till today which is 14th June 2011. I have been repeatedly calling up airtel and all the time i am assured that someone will come and rectify the problem. I have even spoken to two floor managers at airtel customer care center called Gaurav (on 12th June) and Shashi (on 13th June), both of whom have promised me that my problem will be solved in the next 2 hours and nothing has happened. The technician visited me on the 11th and informed me that some package has not been activated on my connection. the floor manager also told me the same thing. but what nobody has been able to do is get the package started. I am tired of calling up the customer center everyday for about 15 minutes each (which also costs me money) and not getting any results (which causes me frustration). I am very disappointed in airtel and it's pathetic service standard. regards, Sarika

DTH Not Working

I have complained on 17th may 2011. customer id is 3000021004. till now my complains not solved. I think Airtel is now earned more thats why they are not taking any serious action on my complaint. For last four days i am complaining regulerly but no responce from Airtel. I thing i have to switch to other dth operator. I am surprised no action taken till date.

Broadband & IPTV Complaint

Airtel Broadband/Wi-fi/ IPTV Customer Care Department, It is with utmost frustation that I write this mail, I have been struggling to get my Wi-fi & IPTV problem attended for the last 2 months. My Wi-fi signal is very weak. The IPTV has been contnuously hanging. The remote does not work The set top box doesn’t take remote signals, even the buttons on the set top box doesn’t work. Most of time you cannot switch it off. It has been horrible experience viewing TV, it hangs contnuously. There are consistent message 'No signal' & 'WAN port disconnected'. We have to repeatedly switch off & switch on the modem & set top box. We cannot watch one program without these interruptions. I have lodged several complaints but there has been no improvement. The latest being on 18th May 2011 & 23rd May 2011 bearing Request No. 46403626 and 46403412 respectively. I was told to unplug all the modem connections and reconnect but the problem did not get resolved. Then I was told that IP address is put under observation and finally was informed that IP address has been changed but nothing improved, the problem remained as it is. I was also promised that an Engineer will visit my place but till date no one has visited and attended to the problem. When I contacted again I was given a Cell no. 8826291682 of one Mr Mayank and was asked to contact him. I called him and he again promised to visit my place but nothing happened. Since then I have been continuously calling and this gentleman has not even picked up my phone. I left several messages as well. He doesn't have even basic courtesy to call back or respond to my messages. I have been subsequently called the Landline Complaint no. 18001030121 & 12150 and both the times after explaining the problem and holding for about 30 minutes, the call got disconnected and then it has been a harrowing experience to reconnect. I have been a loyal Airtel for Customer for more than 10 years and I carry the following Airtel connections being used by me and my family: 01244089412 9810088435 9818688435 9971888453 9971108435 9810188435 9810288435 Is this Customer Service that Airtel promises and brand advertises. I am myself a professional working in the ICT Industry and I very well know what standard does airtel set for its partners. I am sorry to say but this is actually opposite. With this harrowing and frustrating experience, airtel Braodband & IPTV connection has become of mental harrassment rather than an information & entertaiment source. Can I request you to please get this attended immediately. Otherwise I will have no other option but to switch over to other Operators. SAMIR PRAKASH 0124-4089412/ 9810088435
