Beware if you see Airtel (Bharti Tele-Ventures Limited (BTVL))

I am using Airtel mobile prepaid connection. But after a year I am really frustrated with the service of Airtel. On the midnight of 20 August Airtel automatically activate Value Added Service (VAS) and deducted 30 Rupees from my account and when I try to talk customer care executive they disconnect the phone but after trying several times I am able to talk with one executive but this time mother*uker put me on hold, and after that my call is bard. So I am not able to communicate with customer care executive. They never told what the service was activated last night. In the mid July Airtel suffers with some problem (Still we don’t know what the actual cause is) and hence the result is that all outgoing and incoming calls are bard by the Airtel in Mumbai region since 17 July to 28 July 2008. All Airtel consumers suffers for this f**king action (Airtel consumers didn’t get any compensation against these fault. Because these fault is Airtels internal fault not by the consumers so Airtel need to be compensate all consumers in Mumbai Region). But during this period I bought new MTNL card. One example: Suppose that If my validity expires today then after 12 O’clock midnight all incoming and outgoing calls are bard by Airtel they didn’t wait for next morning. After thinking lot I choose MTNL. I think IDEA and Reliance is also good service provider. Hutch (Vodafone) and Airtel are worse service provider in the world. So I suggest my entire known and unknown person to think 1000 times when you are going to buy a new Airtel (prepaid or Postpaid) connection… Your Valuable comment is appreciated…
