Airtel has been fraudulently charging me for 8mbps data plan for past 12 months, where as in reality the speed supported by airtel cables is not more then 4mbps
I have been raising this issue for past 12 months and airtel team has been making one or the other excuse on pretext of checking hardware n switches
I received call from airtel technical support yesterday around 3.30 pm updating me on the hardware/cables laid in my society (flower valley) don't support speed more then 4 mbps speed and i have to downgrade to 4 mbps plan from my existing 8 mbps plan
He admitted to the fact that sales team from airtel are misleading customers and selling fraudulent 8 mbps plan & the cables/ hardware don't support more then 4 mbps speed
I have call recording of my conversation with the airtel technical support person which can be shared as a proof as and when required
So my claim for fraudulent data plans from airtel holds true and i have been cheated by airtel for past 12 month
Airtel has been fraudulently charging me for 8mbps data plan for past 12 months, where as in reality the speed supported by airtel cables is not more then 4mbps
This is really disgusting and like day light robbery on part of company like airtel by resorting to such cheap means of making money
I need reversal of 8 mbps data rental charged to me for past 12 months else i have to go legal way for resolution to this airtel's fraudulent billing practice
Airtel needs to be dragged to consumer court for misleading consumer and resorting to selling of fraudulent data plans

What about the billing waiver???
There is no mention of billing waiver. also your reply is sounding like readymade template revert... there's no mention about concern raised in trailing mail regarding airtel selling 8mbps data plan when the hardware is non-supportive in my area???
Your revert is vague and open ended and i have been listening similar vague replies since past 12 month
I need proper time-lines for resolution and details/contact of concerned person from airtel who will resolve my issue
You can't keep sending me such vague pre-drafted templated mail reverts with zero predictability on resolution and keep on fraudulently charging me rental every month for 8mbps plan when in the first place your hardware /cables don't support 8mbps speed

Dear airtel,
With reference to trailing mail exchange and for your eternal enlightenment i am sharing my problem and case regarding my airtel broadband once again
I am using airtel broadband for past 8 years & my no. is[protected]
My data plan is 8 mbps - 40 gb limit
I have upgraded to 8 mbps plan 12 months back and since then i am facing with slow browsing speed, frequent disconnections and unstable speed
All these issues have been vividly explained and proved to all the airtel technical support persons who were on inspection visit to my house
On 7th sept'16 happen to speak with airtel technical lead from pune vega center & he has admitted : non supportive hardware cables for high speed net in
Flower valley area (place where i reside)
All the technical support persons who inspected my connection at home also admitted to the fact that airtel cables in flower valley don't support 8 mbps data speed
It's really shocking to know??? - when everyone at airtel technical team is aware of the fact that airtel cables in my area dont not support 8 mbps data speed then how come in first place airtel is selling fraudulent plans of 8 mbps speed for past 12 months and cheating customers???
Airtel cust. care ppl call me from different locations and i have to explain same problem over and over again to diff. set of people. i fail to understand what is so confusing and puzzling about my problem. knowingly every airtel rep. right from technical to customer care acts ignorant in-spite knowing the fact that "airtel cables & hardware does not support 8 mbps speed in my residential area" and keeps on giving me false assurance to resolve my slow data speed issue. "this is like height of fraud and cheating customers"
As on date there is no resolution to my problem and i am still getting unstable data speed and the speed varies from 4.5 to 8 mbps randomly making browsing and surfing really unstable and problematic
I have categorically told airtel customer care that i am not going to pay aug'16 broadband charges (15th sept'16 was my due date) as i have been cheated by airtel for past 12 months by selling and providing fraudulent data plans
I am not going to pay any further charges for my broadband usage till the time my slow browsing speed issue is resolved
Regards

I spoke to technical leader from airtel vega center, pune on 7th sept'16 and he admitted that airtel cables in flower valley society (place where i reside) does not support
8 mbps speed and he is looking into what possible he can do to address my concern
It's really shocking to know - when everyone at airtel technical team is aware of the face that airtel cables in my area does not support 8 mbps speed then how come in first place airtel is selling fraudulent plans of 8 mbps speed for past 12 months and cheating customers???
