TL;DR:┬а Airtel broadband Complaints can be resolved by reaching out to their customer care representative, consumer helpline, posting a complaint on their social media channel, or taking legal action through online platforms like Voxya for a faster and effective solution.
Once again our Airtel broadband connection stopped working today morning. This is third time it was gone out of order in this month and interestingly the problem was the same as it was there in previous complaints.
We have been filing Airtel broadband complaints through Airtel helpline number and were following up on phone. To us, Airtel phone support is nothing more than just a тАЬcustomer engagementтАЭ process which keeps customer busy till his complaint get resolves automatically after some time.
AirtelтАЩs Customer Support Process
Here is how they тАЬengageтАЭ you in their so called customer support process, and will never try to actively resolve your complain on time:
1. If you will call their customer support number which is 1800-23400or mail them at 121@in.airtel.com, you will have to spend lot of time in the queue just waiting for the support agent to pick up your call. It seems either they do not have sufficient number of agents or they get more complaints than their support team can actually handle. Most of the customers will drop the idea of filing complaints, after trying for 2-3 times.
2. If you are lucky enough to get hold of a support agent then you will find that the agent will spend less time in talking and more time in getting updates from their system. Looks like they are using age old CRM/ERP system.
Also, instead of focusing more on your complaint, he will focus more on extracting more phone (alternate) numbers from you as if he is going to call you immediately. Moreover you should forget about getting a complaint number (ticket number) from him unless you will specifically ask for it.
3. Now comes the most interesting phase. After the complaint has been lodged, the support agent will tell you that your problem will get resolved within 48 hours timeтАж but this will never happen. You will very soon receive a phone call from a technical guy who will ask for your availability in your office/home so that he can come and resolve the issue. But donтАЩt let this phone call deceive you, he will never come unless you followup with him.
It looks Airtel has outsourced technical support to third parties and these small companies have found their way around SLA (Service Level Agreement). They will call the customer within few hours of lodging the complaint so that the тАЬsystemтАЭ can be falsely updated that the resolution of the customer complaint has started. But actually, they will do nothing after this phone call. This has happened to us several times.
4. When you will fed up waiting for this tech guy to visit you, you will call customer support again to know about the status. To your surprise, you will find that your complaint has been resolved and closed in their system!
They will not even bother to cross check from the customer regarding the same. And when you will tell them that this is unfair then they will open a new complaint and will tell you the same story that you will get resolution within 48 hours time.
5. This will keep on happening, until one fine day you will find that the Airtel broadband complaints has got resolved automatically! Now you will start thanking every support agent, tech guy, line man you talked to during the resolution processтАж but the truth is that they did nothing to solve the problem. It got resolved automatically, when their infrastructure got updated.
Tips to resolve Airtel broadband complaints quickly
So, how to resolve Airtel broadband complaints without being trapped in this never ending тАЬcustomer engagementтАЭ process? In our opinion just follow these small tips:
i) Never forget to ask for Ticket Number for your complaint.
ii) When you receive a phone call from tech guy that he wants to come, save his number and tell him that you are available in the home/office (even if you are not, as there are very less chances that he will visit immediately). Ask him how much time it will take him to come down to your place? If he does not show up, call back his number.
iii) If he doesnтАЩt show up at all, don’t wait too much. Just call the customer support again and update your same old ticket with the latest incident. This will put pressure on the service guy to visit you and resolve your complaint.
iv) If above all has failed, then try sending email to Nodal Officer of Airtel in your region. You can find email address and phone numbers at their website or in google easily. But nobody will ever pick your phone call so its better to send email to escalate your issue!
You can also write your concern and send it to ┬аBharti Crescent, 1, Nelson Mandela Road, Vasant Kunj, Phase II, New Delhi – 110070, India.
If you will follow these above tips, we are sure you will be able to resolve your Airtel broadband complaints easily. But if you are unable to resolve Airtel broadband complaints then you should File a Complaint at Voxya.com.
