        I honestly don’t even know whether to laugh or be angry at this point.

        I’ve been a loyal customer of Comway (ISP in Delhi) for a long time. Recently renewed their yearly 300 Mbps plan (their most expensive one).

        Then suddenly, my internet stopped working.

        What followed was absolute madness:

        1. 10–12 calls daily

        2. Complaints on app

        3. Direct calls to technician

        Every single time:

        “Sir please wait, technician will visit”

        No one ever came.

        This went on for 10+ days.

        As a student, this completely messed up my:

        1. Studies

        2. Work

        3. Daily routine

        And honestly, the worst part wasn’t the internet, it was the constant mental exhaustion of chasing them.

        Then I tried something crazy.

        I registered as a NEW CUSTOMER using my mother’s number.

        Same address. Same company.

        And guess what?

        👉 Within HOURS, I got a call

        👉 Their team started working

        👉 AND MY INTERNET STARTED WORKING AGAIN

        So basically:

        They could fix it anytime

        They just didn’t care enough to fix it for an existing customer

        It doesn’t end here.

        Even now:

        – Internet is still unstable

        – Disconnects randomly

        – Complaints still ignored

        They refused compensation.

        Just extended my plan by 1 month (which I didn’t even ask for).

        What I have:

        – Call recordings

        – Complaint logs

        – Screenshots

        – Full proof of everything

        What I’ve done:

        Filed complaint on National Consumer Helpline (currently “In Process”)

        What I want now:

        Not just a fix.

        I want accountability.

        Need advice:

        – Is this legally “deficiency in service”?

        – Can I claim compensation (₹25k–₹50k)?

        – Should I go to consumer court now?

        – Does the “new vs old customer treatment” strengthen my case?

        At this point, it’s not about Wi-Fi anymore.

        It’s about how casually companies treat paying customers like they don’t matter.

        Would really appreciate guidance.
