Have written on 18th May to your Tikona Customer care (that do not exist) and your nodal officer that I am not getting services from Tikona. have to call your team multiple time to restore my connection, never got the promised speed and your technical executive never be prompt to reach the place and solve the issue on my multiple request you guys disconnected my connection on 9 Aug 12. when i haven't used any of your services in this period how can you invoice me and that also some 3000 Rs. Your executive came to collect the device and other device and still not got the acknowledgement for the same. When i take the connection i have paid money advance with the assurance from your agent this will be paid back to me when I disconnect my connection instead of paying mu money back to me you are asking me to pay for the services which i haven't used.
Now I am getting multiple threatening calls from Tikona Team and some legal department that you will destroy my CIBIL record and latest that you will also get my Votor ID card, other financial document if I not paid the monies.
But still I am ready to pay so I had a word with your Legal Person and got settled on the amount of Rs. 1000 to pay and settle the account. I wrote reply on your email to come and give in written that account is settled and the documents that you will not write to CIBIL rating and also withdrawing of court case. but I haven't received any reply from your team.
I am still ready to pay the settlement amount. Please give me the requested documents and collect the money and close the account

But still have one question is this the way to treat the customer? not reply on emails and queries and charge the customer as per your discretion?
 

In first quarter of the year 2013 India's average internet speed was 1.3 mbps; far below the speed of developed countries and to some extent even some of the developing countries. To prove my point anyone can read a few news articles on the internet, and compare India's average internet speed with that of other countries, and on that list India would appear at the bottom.

In most developed countries the minimum broadband speed set for ISP's (Internet service providers) to sell broadband internet plans are at minimum 1-2mbps. In January, 2011, TRAI(Telecom regulatory Authority of India) had raised the minimum broadband speed requirement to 512kbps, but malpractices still continue, I shall share an example here latter.

Internet holds a great potential and can mean business to many. Many people make their living out of internet, and internet means money. But corporates like Airtel (one of India's leading telecom provider), and its competitors try to fleece as much money as they can from users. I have to say it's not just Airtel Broadband (mention Airtel here on), but other ISP's too. I will take Airtel's example, as I am its customer and a disappointed and helpless one.

People use internet for different purposes, some are termed as heavy users, others as light users. Heavy users are those who use up most of the internet bandwidth. Problem for ISP's are these heavy users, who clutter their networks. The only way out is by providing them with limited bandwidth since no one else is able to use up the bandwidth meant for all. But this is not the correct way as adopted by companies like Airtel -adding more user to the network rather than upgrading their broadband infrastructure for being able to handle higher bandwidth.

So how does Airtel limit the bandwidth? By adding Fair usage policy (FUP) clause, or as most people call it F**k user policy. Worst so ISP's sell unlimited internet plans with FUP, in technical terms its limited to, because FUP is a limit itself.

There are many other unfair practices, but I will just tell you few of the problems I faced, and its something all future and current Airtel customers or other ISP's customer should know.

We have been using Airtel broadband services for very long, 5-6 years tops, really can't recall when exactly. It was a Rs. 649 plans at first 256Kbps internet speed, we had this plan for a 4-5years, even after discontinued selling that plan, as I was away, and parents were light users. Some time ago they changed the plan to Rs.849 (I can't recall the exact price, it was about this much), with 512kbps speed, and FUP limit of 8 GB, beyond which the speed used to go below 256kbps. This is totally an unfair practice, as TRAI has set a minimum broadband speed limit of 512kpbs.

Now once you are about to reach the said FUP limit, in my case 8GB, they you get a lot of pop up, saying you are reaching the FUP limit, and consider buying additional bandwidth, which thay call SmartBytes. So these pop-up just keeps coming, and spoils the internet experience. i.e. If I am on a skype call, the call is disrupted, etc. So Airtel is just nuisance to customer, and trying to fleece $$$$. I have read a few articles on people being charged wrongly for SmartBytes,I didn't happen to me. But I was charged twice for Airtel PC secure

So I did finally fell for it, I needed a better plan, Rs. 2599 for Rapid 175, with 8mbps internet speed. Well, it was great, 8mbps speed was just awesome, was downloading content at 1mbps speed, but the real downside was the upload speed, it was too less usually 60-80kbps, to upload content! Now that was really sad, I paid Rs 2500 for 8mbps plan, which gave me a content upload rate of 80kbps! At first I thought it was a mistake, so I checked with customer care, and all he could say was 'Airtel only guarantees download speed and not upload speed'. Frankly this is sh**, 8mpbs plan for this upload speed.

I manage a few website, and one of the larger one has 8gb data, which I download to my PC, as back up. So downloading usually takes 2-3 hours, now uploading that content back to the web server will take me more than 1 day. This is bad for business.

In the end all I can conclude is by saying Airtel and many other ISP's are not really upgrading their infrastructure, cluttering their network by adding more customers, fleecing money from the customer, and doing malpractices, etc. In time I hope these problems are addressed to, and TRAI is able to act on it, and work towards customers benefit and not towards the ISP's.

My intention here was not to defame Airtel or any organization, all I trying to educate the current and the future customer the problem that exists. Also leave you with a image, with details on average internet speed, and average price for it in various countries. This would give most of a bit of idea what we people are missing.

I bought an Airtel SIM day before yesterday, and the activation is taking too much time. I'm still not getting any signal on my cell phone since 2 days. Any suggestions?
