Earlier this year, Jio was down, and now @airtelindia faced outages, highlighting the need for more national-level operators to reduce dependency for 1.5B people. Hoping for the revival of Vodafone Idea & BSNL soon! #Airtel #airteldown

@Airtel_Presence @airtelindia Airtel black id- 10101012668606. Internet usually does not work during peak office/working hours. Today it has been down since 10 am. How would you justify this premium service for which we are paying premium bills.#airtelsucks

No coordination between @airtelindia ground staff & @Airtel_Presence complaint registration team. Complaint registered via phone as well as social media but all we hear is that their team is working. 48 hours & wifi is still down. Pathetic service. Bad decision to shift to Airtel https://t.co/wyi2LJetNI

"Please don’t rely on Airtel Xstream Fiber. Every month, their service is down for 2-3 days, yet they still charge for those days."@Airtel_Presence #airtelxstreamfiber pic.twitter.com/lFmIIqJur7
