Airtel worst mobile office speed

Hello.
I was a proud and satisfied user of Airtel Mobile office from almost a year now and a subscriber of Airtel since 2007. Recently I took a new Airtel West Bengal Prepaid sim of no [protected]. On the next day of activation, I recharged with RC 98 for 2gb mo for 1month and got speeds 20-30KB/s. After the end of free data, I recharged with RC 98 again on 13/08/11, 8:33PM. To my utter surprise I came to know that they are giving only 1gb at 98 and increased 2gb pack to RC 149.
But the actual shock was due to come. I noticed that the browsing/downloading speed has come down to mere 4-10KB/s and often after every half an hour the speed would drop to 0.00KB/s and connection status become inactive, making all downloads to fail and all browsing to stop. Let me tell you, I am the same person using the same mobile, same sim, same location, same pc, same browser, same settings that I used before and got 20-30KB/s speeds. I am not talking about some particular websites or some particular time of the day or some particular day. It is the cumulative average speed I am getting from 13/8/11.
I have done all I could do from my end(switch off/on, clear cache, disabling all add-ons/plugins) but to no avail.
I called up [protected] (this is the no to reach gprs helpdesk when calling from a non-airtel no, which 12118 itself provided me for online assistance to be possible). But the executive(Samannay Das) was just not willing listen to any of my problems and told me that he WILL NOT take any complaint. I called nodal officer at [protected] but I didn't hear anything except the ivr telling me to hold the line for talking to nodal officer for 5 minutes.
This is an utter disappointment from a company like airtel and a clear violation of service rules(surprisingly, they themselves claim to give 20-30KB/s speeds).
I dont know what Airtel is up to by increasing pack prices and decreasing service quality. I think that they don't care about customers now as they have the largest customer base in India. But as a loyal customer I would like to advise them not to bring themselves down to such a state that customers feel cheated.
What else? I don't think they would give any reply.
Thank you.

Hello Rakesh.
As I said earlier, I am posting my feedback now. The problem of connection status becoming inactive and speed dropping to 0.00 KB/s looks to have gone for now(2-3 times a day though). But the speed is not there where it should be. I am getting 15-20KB/s instead of 25-30KB/s. This is ok for mobile users but as I use with PC mostly it is causing deadlock in connection. Connection is hanging, pages are taking twice/thrice time to open and at times it gets so much frustrating.
Looking forward from a feedback from you. Please solve this issue.
Thank you.

Hello Rakesh.
Thank you very much for your assistance. But the problem of the connection speed dropping to 0.00 KB/s and the connection status becoming inactive is still there(frequency reduced from after each 30 minutes to once in 3-4 hours). And the speed has increased a bit(from 4-10 KB/s to 15-20 KB/s) but it should be 25-30 KB/s as per you tell us and I also had used mobile office with this speed(this used to be always the normal speed, not just a speed up for some moment). And if this happens with mobile, then with pc it might result into disaster.
Nevertheless, I shall check the speed and connectivity with my pc the next two days and on tuesday post the feedback here and also sms to you. Hope you would reply and help me then also in the same way and heartiness as you did today.
Thank you.

Airtel customet complaint regarding cancellation my airtel no.

Dear sir/madam,
I am airtel user since 6-8 year. My mobile no. Is [protected]. Recently I have made planned to changed my airtel prepaid no. To postpaid. I have paid 500 rupees as a activation charged on 20/06/2011. But still I m not getting your postpaid service on my mobile.
So for confirmation regarding my mobile service I am going to one of your airtel relationship centres in rohtak (Haryana). But they have told me that your no. Is under cancellation. Because address proof is not correct. But they are not telling me any reason of cancellation. I m continuously touch with your airtel relationship centres since 2 weeks.
Firstly they told me just wait sir, we are under progress. Today they cancelled my application without telling me any reason. I have already used 1 no. Of airtel on same address. If my primary no. Has been activated on same address how they can cancel my second no. But still they are not taking any action. Okay, if my address is not verified, I want my money back which I have paid for registration regarding migration of prepaid to postpaid.

My primary postpaid no. Is [protected]. This no. Also I have migrated from prepaid to postpaid just 2 month back and also it is verified on same address.

Airtel unauthorized deductions from my prepaid mobile account

Hi,
I am Kishore Kumar Manchikalapati, I am using Airtel Prepaid mobile service since (2005) to till date. My mobile No.[protected]
Following are the three unauthorized subscriptions that are added and amount is being deducted from my prepaid account on daily basis.
1.You have been renewed for GamesManiaSubscriptionfor subscription service from Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @ 10p/10kb
2.You have been renewed for ThebigfatfreeStore subscription service from Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @ 10p/10kb
3.You have been renewed for SubscriptionVideosParlou subscription service from Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @ 10p/10kb

Note: When I tried to check that whether I have any active subcriptions from http://gclub.in (Airtel Live URL) I found that I don't have any active subcriptions for my mobile.

When I tried to reach customer care they provided me irrelevant and useless answers. Inspite of being a dedicated prepaid user since last 7 years, Because of this fraud made by the service provider I am losing faith in the product. Daily Rs.15 is being deducted from my account because of this fraud. Till now I lost hundreds of rupees since last 3 months.

I want to make following things to be clear:

1. I didn't opted for any subscriptions on Airtel live or any other paid services from Airtel.

2. I use internet by recharging Rs.98 per month for 2GB usage on my mobile. Hence nothing should be deducted from my Prepaid account for internet usage.

3. I never opted or used prevoiusly specified subcription services .

I want this issue to be resolved ASAP without any failure.

If this is not resolved then the options available for me is to log a case against AIRTEL in the consumer court and Change my service provider.

Hi,
My issue with regard to Unauthorized deductions from my Prepaid Airtel mobile account reference number [protected] ( Mobile No. [protected]) seems to be partially resolved . Unauthorized deductions are still active. Yesterday (17/08/2011) I still had a deduction of Rs.5 with the following message.
"You have been renewed for GamesManiaSubscriptionfor subscription service from
Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @
10p/10kb ".
Please get into the insight of this issue and stop all these unauthorized deductions. Till now I lost more than Rs.500 since last 3 months. Please refund the deducted amount into my Airtel Prepaid account.

Hi,
I have followed following actions to get the issue resolve but it is not fruitful and the issue became even worse that before.

1.Yesterday first I tried to reach Customer care via 121 and got a advise to send MASALA_CANCEL to 52121 to deactivate Airtel Live. I did so, but recieved a message stating " You are
Currently NOT Active on Airtel Live service".
2.Then I again tried to reach customer care and explained the issue then the executive recklessly cut off my call without giving any resolution.

Note: After that, on this same day (16/08/2011) Rs.30 is unauthorizly deducted from my account. This is ridiculous and not at all acceptable.

I got following message 4 times and Rs.20 deducted from my account

You have been renewed for SubscriptionVideosParlou subscription service from
Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @
10p/10kb

I got following messages each once and Rs.10 deducted from my account

1.You have been renewed for GamesManiaSubscriptionfor subscription service from
Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @
10p/10kb
2.You have been renewed for ThebigfatfreeStore subscription service from
Airtel.You have been charged Rs. 5.latest games http://gclub.in browsing @
10p/10kb

In total I lost Rs.30 on this single day due to this unauthorized deduction.
This is very frustrating to me. Please stop this non-sense immediately.

I am not in a position to bear this fraud any more. I want the permanent resolution to this issue.
I do have all the messages with regard to these deductions. I lost more than Rs.500 since last 2 months.

When I wrote a mail to 121@in.airtel.com. I got following response,

"We would like to inform you that mauj_charge subscription service is active since and there had been a charge of Rs. 100/- on 26-07-2011. Therefore, an amount of Rs 100/- was charged towards mauj_charge subscription service on 26-07-2011.

Your request regarding the deactivation of mauj_charge subscription service has been registered with us with reference number [protected] and the same will be addressed by 17-08-2011.

As a one time service gesture we have refunded an amount of Rs. 100/-. The refund has been processed and will be credited on your account within 24 hours."

I believe the issue is not understood properly and some temporary measures are being taken . This is not acceptable. Please help me in this regard.

Airtel bill payment

Its regarding the payment of My post paid airtel phone bill, i was standing in a queue at Nehru place airtel branch to pay my ph bills and it was a pity to see the authorized person taking payments was clearing the payments of a person from the back door and the no. of bills that person carrying was around 15. On being asked why are you clearing so many bills at one time from back door, he replied this is not written anywhere that he can't accept so many bills at one time and on being questioned he threatened to beat us. And ultimately he cleared all the bills of that person before clearing anybody's else. Its pity to see that a private company like airtel is being run in this manner similar to a govt. organization.

i have been using Airtel postpaid a/c for almost 3 years, i have good track record also in the bill payment and got the 6000 INR Credit limit also, but 2009 january i got so much problems with Airtel connectivity, so at that time i understood other providers like Vodafone people are providing excellent coverage and billing vise less also.
i took Vodafone in february and intimated Airtel (customer care)to disconnect the services from february 16th onwards, after so much convincing they told by that month end they 'll disconnect so up to february i paid the bill except 300 inr which was the amount i paid as deposit, but those people sent minimum payment bills up to july month.

i didn't resposnd for them, then in August i got notice kind of thing to pay the 4 months bill.

so how can i take an action against them.

it's not a burden for me to pay, but i want fight against the false (Airtel) jaisa faltoos services. As Software professional how can i take up this action with daily burdens in office or legal proceedings.

Finally what i mean to say is "please don't go for Airtel Postpaid connection" i don't know about prepaid, and also Customer care also, those people won't have the minimum common sense.

Thanks

Airtel not approving mnp request from past one month

I have applied for mnp. I want to shift to vodafone from airtel, but everytime I give a request for mnp, airtel people call me, waste my time, request me not to go to vodafone... I have tell them strongly that I need to shift to vodafone please approve request... But everytime I get a msg by vodafone that my request for mnp has been rejected by airtel...

At my flat zero airtel network is there.. I get frustrated.. After trying for continuosly one month when again my mnp request was rejected by airtel, I called at airtel customer care and requested them not to reject the request.. I asked the time frame till when the request will be approved but the customer care executive (Mr. Dharmendra yadav)... He behaved very badly... Tried to make fool.. Since he was knowing that he cant resolve this issue, he told me to stay online... He is going to transfer call to higher level.. He kept me on hold for 5 minutes and then in between he picked up call to check whether I m there or not... When he got to know that I am there he again kept call on hold... And after some time he cut the fone...

I am helpless.. I cant change the number.. I need mnp urgent.. Please.. I was about to cry yesterday.. Airtel is very very bad... Worst... I hate airtel... Even airtel people called me on sunday also early morning.. I was sleeping.. Picked up... They werw again requesting not to change network... Wats the advantage of mnp?

Airtel unethical practices of airtel

I am one among the million affected customers of airtel mobile unjust services. Airtel recruits a bunch of gundas for their telecalling services and gives a heavy mental and verbal torture to their customers by which they seem to gain nothing but only lose their number of customers day by day.
The situation of airtel customers become more worse if any of their family members also possess an airtel connection. For instance if a wife has a post paid airtel number and her payment is delayed due to unavoidable reasons the airtel officials bar the incoming calls of her husband's mobile prepaid service for no fault of his. To worsen the situation they receive all (No matter personal or official) calls which come to the husbands mobile and enquire about each and every caller's relationship with the mobile user and also informing that the husband's incoming calls have been barred because of the wife's payment delay. All these criminal activities are done by airtel gundas in the name of telecallers. If any complaint is given to the airtel higher officials, they don't care to respond at any point of time, as they all come under one category. So beware of airtel company and avoid using their threatening services
Name of the uncultured airtel employee is ms. Radhika, 101, oceanic towers, santhome, mylapore, chennai. And her mobile number is - [protected] and [protected]

Airtel disconnection of sim with false reason

Sir
I am serving in Indian Air Force as a Non Commissioned Officer. On 06 May 11 I purchased a SIM Card of Airtel ([protected]). The number has been activated and recharged with Rs. 50/-. I was out of station for some days and after coming back I come to know that my number is not active. I contacted customer care. They told me various reason of deactivation (You may not got recharged your sim, you may not used your sim for more than 6 months etc.). I contacted the Airtel retailer from which i have purchased the sim. Firstly they told me to resubmitt the document. I have resubmit the document. Still my number cannot be activated. Atlast they told me that Airtel has deactivated my number permanently and given a reason that my verification was negative, however I never received any verification call from Airtel. I have submitted this complaint once in this site earlier. But airtel had given a wrong comment that they have resolved my issue. However my problem still survive. My grievances may be looked into and redressed and airtel should be restricted from giving wrong comment.

Thank You

Airtel mobile portable no [|bal|[protected]|[protected]|]

Dear Rajesh Kumar,
Mail on 11th July

Thanks in advance to read this messages and could you please assist me in getting the SIM card ?
Hope at lease this message has reached right person ( you) for recommending suitable action!
Mail on 11th July

Dear Vandhana & Nipun,
I am still looking for your assistance. Today I also called your Airtel office, 1st they said, sim card is available, and then they said “no” card is available. When I ask about the validity of the Ref No- No response.
Mail on 8th July

Dear Vandhana Bharath,
Thanks for your response.
I have received the MPN Port request code no .RT 377684.
Unfortunately, I have been told by Airtel office (MG Road, Shastri Nagar, and Adayar) there is no stock of SIM card for MPN.
Also, I have been informed, they cannot tell when the stock will arrive and I should call & check everyday to know the availability. The story does not end here.
When the call is made to the no ([protected]), the call is answered by some one, who always say, they have no details and cannot confirm anything on phone.
Overall I am disappointed to select Airtel for MPN, even though all my family members have Airtel as service provider and my land line is also from Airtel.
From Airtel on 7th July

hey dude first thing if they take your request(complaint) have to issue the reference number...
if they gave your reference number post it here.
next thing once they take complaint they have to resolve it in 15 days of time.
otherwise they are out of control and u can sue them.
send mail to their nodal officer if it never works for u.
there is an shorcut to resolve ur problem easily.
just use port forwarding option port space ur mobile number to 1900
they will contact you and resolve your problems... it works...
