Its been a year since i’ve subscribed to Airtel Broadband. I’ve been getting good speeds more than what was promised. But that ain’t the issue you need to be worried about if you’re opting for Airtel BB. From the start I’ve always had wondered how my hi speed data quota finishes off fast, given my fairly decent level of online activity.
Recent days I’ve been facing this issue, that my high speed quota vanishes in jiffy with in days after billing cycle starts. I did examine and secure my connection and wi-fi and install data usage meters and turns out to be the pilferers are none but the providers. And there’s nobody in Airtel management who doesn’t wants to answer this. I ask for an itemised data usage which they’re not willing to provide.
So cheap. And they’ve been vociferously promoting their smartbytes(where you pay extra to get HSD in the same billing period) and plan upgradation and they did succeed a couple of times in that.
But now I’ve got enough evidence that suggests they’ve been involved in such unethical practices and working on suing them in the consumer courts.
