Airtel providing poor internet service, legal ways to claim for losses


03-Oct-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I have been facing poor internet connectivity from airtel at my home since May this year. The internet used to work prior to that, and suddenly the connectivity became poor. I informed them through calls, emails, but they always said please give us few days time, and we will resolve this issue. I am working as a software professional, and due to this, it has caused us a lot of trouble for the last so many months in doing our work.I still made the bill payment for May, and told them that I won't make any other payment till the issue is resolved, as I can't access internet. They agreed on the no services no payments rule at that time.I even included their Nodal officer for the state and then the Appellate in the emails.There are two issues that I would like to bring your attention to: Poor service being offered without prior intimiation Asking for payments when services not provided I have email proofs of all conversations.Can you please suggest the legal route to claim business losses

Dear,

First of all, send a legal notice to the service provider through a lawyer demanding payment for the loss of business explaining them how you have suffered losses because of their activities. If they come to the terms and make good the losses suffered by you, good, else, file a complaint in the jurisdictional consumer court and claim the amount of business losses along with interest amount from the date of filing of the complaint till the date of disposal of the complaint. Apart from this, you can also claim compensation for the mental harassment you had to endure due to the pathetic service provided by the service provider.
