Contract mis-sold. Terrible customer service from a supervisor-no clear way to make a complaint

After being a good customer for a year and a Verizon Wireless customer for 5 years, numerous issues with Verizon Fios have surfaced.
1) Representative totally mis-informed about the contract
When I took out a contract with Verizon FIos a year ago, I had not wanted to have a contract because they only option available was for 2 years and I knew that the lease for my apartment was only for 1 year and in all likliehood I would be moving. I was told by the representative that there would be no problem if I took out a 2 year contract because I could simply transfer the existing contract to wherever I moved with no issue.
Fastforward a year and I'm moving, call Verizon to make the transfer and i"m told, that actually i'm effectively cancelling my existing contract and re-starting as a new customer. This means that my bundle has gone up $10 a month and I would have to start another 2 year contract.This completely contradicts what I was told a year ago. I would never have taken out the 2 year contract if I had known this.
2) Terrible customer service from someone who is a supervisor
This morning I spoke to a representative and after she said she couldnt address my concerns about being mis-sold the contract, I asked to speak with a supervisor. How he handled the call was incredibly unhelpful and rude - I dont understand how someone at a supervisor level can have that kind of attitude. First he tried to indicate that it was my fault for not being clear with the representative last year (before he knew the full facts), he did not take show any recognition that being mis-informed about a contract is a significant issue. When I asked him how to make a complaint he told me to go to verizon.com/contact. I did this while I was on the phone with him and told him that there was no clear way to make a complaint, I was told "I am a supervisor, I cant sit here on the phone with you and take you through it step by step" - I was not asking for step by step help, I assumed that as a supervisor he would know which wa the right section to click on. He then basically made it sound like I was an idiot and I was told that every other customer seems to find it intuitive (which judging by other comments on this forum about the contact piece of the site is not actually true).
3) Impossible to file an official complaint through normal channels 
There is no email address to which you can send a complaint (according to the team on the phone). On the verizon.com/contact page, there is no option for making a complaint. When you type in a question about making a complaint nothing comes up. This seems ridiculous and makes it seem like Verizon is not interested in hearing customers feedback.

  • Terrible customer service from Brendan at Telstra Bourke St Melbourne

    Hi All,
    Just thought I would ask your advice concerning repairs to my Iphone I requested from Telstra.
    The phone is great and I love it, my only problem is that it no longer turns on anymore.
    I took it to the shop where I bought it on (yep I lined up to buy it the day they were released ), the really flashy Telstra shop in the Bourke Street Mall. I got one of the techs on the front desk to look at it. He then took it to the head tech guy and he came back and said they would not repair or replace the phone under warranty. He said that it had a 'disturbed liquid submersion indicator at the bottom'.
    I have never droped it into water the whole time I have owned it, but I do travel overseas to humid areas so that may have set off the 'submersion indicator' to make the techs think that I dropped it into a puddle when I have never done that.
    Obviously, its a real pain, not having a phone for even a day, so I asked what my options were. I was told that the 'apple warranty is void and repair/exchange can not be carried out and the replacement cost for an 8gb for $670'.
    The quotes above are from what is typed on my Service Repair Order.
    I asked was it possible to send the phone to Apple to be inspected, and they advised that it was not, and that my only option was to purchase a new phone, and that I had two options. Firstly, if I surrendered my old phone, a replacement would be issued for $670. Secondly, I could simply purchase another iphone 'outright' for a cost of $726.
    I tool the second option, and have a brand new phone, although I am disapointed that I now have an almost new phone that simply stopped working that is now used as a paperweight.
    I tried everything to minimise the cost of getting a working iphone, and after talking to the lead tech, he then got the store manager to discuss my options.
    Brendan said he was the store manager, and eventually let me know his name after first stating 'I dont have to give you my name' and eventually told me his employee number was 0238895.
    He spent over an hour checking the situation while I waited, but would not put anything in writing except some notes in the section related to the 'reported problem' on the Service Repair Order.
    Is the advice that Brendan from Telstra gave me correct, and was it necessary for me to purchase another brand new handset for $726?
    If anyone has any questions I can be contacted on <Edited by: Host>
    Kind regards
    Wayne B

    See the response that I provided to Tamara regarding the recent change to the policy.
    You might want to print the new version of the policy and bring your receipt and go back to Telstra and see if they will consider an adjustment, i.e. you return your brand new iPhone, they swap it for a refurbished iPhone and credit you with the difference in price.
    I actually fail to see where you received "Terrible customer service from Brendan" as stated in your title.

  • TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM VISION

    I have been a BT customer all my life, me and my wife are fully disabled and rely on BT for there services, i have telephone braodband and recently vision. The thing is, i took on Bt visions last November and since i got it it has not worked properly! I have contacted bt on many occasions, have had engineers round and still i am paying for a service that does not work!
    I cannot watch anything without it stopping after several minuets, recently it has started not working at all. The last time i called Bt i was verbally abused by a young lad (from the uk) who was very nasty to me, cheeky and refused to help me unless i connected my laptop so he could access it. I am disabled so is my wife, i cannot connect my computer up myself, i need my carer to set it up and at night i do not have my carer. Anyway, i have had my computer connected up 14 times for them and it still doesnt do anything to help, they put me through this very lengthy system of checking things out and still i do not get any service. The engineer who came says it is a common problem, thousands have it and he stated that IT IS IN THE PLATFORM SOFTWARE WITH BT nothing to to with my end in any way.Everything in my home is spot on my broadband runs at 5.8 i tried to tell this abusive chap the last time that my broadband if high enough for vision to work as that is all he can check at his end, he was very insulting almost making a fool of me as i was disabled and couldnt set my laptop up myself.
    This is verging on FRAUD they take approx 30 for vision every month and i do not have the servce, i hire films through them that dont play losing me £4 a time. Mt TV and my phone are my life, it is my only contact to the world, as i cant do anything else i love my TV so i can watch it, not a blank screen
    I have been abused for the last time by BT i have to keep it till November then i will cancel vision, i am sending a personal letter to all the executive directors, all the non executive directors, the news of the world, the sun, the sunday post, my solicitor, and the regulatory body who governs this media. Also i am sending a letter to the disability board to complain at the way BT customer services veiw and abuse the disabled user.
    To sum up if anyone is reding this thinking of getting vision DONT BOTHER it is the poorest digital service on the market, it stutters and spits(when it works) it jums up, it stops all the time, they charge you £4 for a film and then it doesnt play and when it does play it can take up to 6 hours to watch it in full as it always stops and then starts again, it took 12 hours to watch Avatar for example. Bt should hang their head in shame, but as i disabled person i will not be abused by them, i will not have someone making a foool of me because i cant set up my laptop myself, the whole serive is very poor.
    The thing is, my broadband and the telephone service are second to none perfect!! but vision is just a con it isalmost fraudulant, and unless BT get their act together i will have no alternative but to persue them in court, it will cost me nothing! to have a go, but it could cost them their reputation, and loads of bad publicity that im sure they dont need, i cant wait for November to come so i can cancel my vision setup and get top quality viewing through SKY  YES SKY EVERYONE !!!!! BT vision cant compare SKY is far superior vision is a joke in comparrison
    Neil Edgar
    BT you know who i am, you should hang your heads in shame

    Things havent changed much have they!!!
    Despite being promised 3 months ago that BT Vision had been cancelled and Broadband had been reduced it is still being charged for at
    the same rate and Vision has not been cancelled. Have been trying for over a year now. BT ARE LIARS! 
    Complaint number 4 this week from 17th- 21st September 2012 to BT
    121221-****** ref number from BT complaints Dec 2012
    On Monday 17th September 2012 I enquired why my bill had gone from around £50.50 to over £73.00 for no apparent reason (It happened in April but I was not aware until last week I have poor eyesight and only get quarterly statements) I did the same the year before and was offered a new package including TV which I did not want but was told it would be the cheapest for me and would never rise above £43.00 per month if I agreed to it It went to £53.00 but I never used the TV as its too complicated for me I am old and have arthritis and cannot fiddle with such stuff.
    I phoned on Monday and I asked for the TV to be removed...if not credited as I never use it.! They agreed to do this this month Then I was put through to someone else who promised to call me the next day and offer an even better package more suitable to our needs.
     I thought I had changed my plan but have not received any confirmation. The other advisor said they would call me 2 days ago but have heard nothing. They promised a better more affordable plan. But it now seems they have put me on a MORE EXPENSIVEONE. With the TV still there.
    We are pensioners with one severely disabled. We rely on the telephone and broadband for everything...I am so angry that we are being robbed blind and money taken from our bank without being told that it has gone up so much. We are now in difficulty because BT and Electricity have taken more than we had. We have no money left to the end of the month. OUR PENSIONS/ATTENDANCE ALLOWANCE DO NOT INCREASE
    We only had the TV package because we were promised a better deal and the cost would never rise above £50 a month
    Our broadband is excessively expensive!
    The contact I made on Monday promised a better deal and a removal of the TV part. I was told I would be called on Tuesday with the new arrangements and get an email. Have had neither...just a bill for MORE money
    You are currently number 1 in the queue. We apologise for the delay. We will assign you to an agent as soon as one is available. The average amount of time a customer has to wait is 07:40.
    *removed content*
    He never called back and I am still being charged excessive amounts that I never agreed to and still paying 
    Hi faysky and welcome to the forums

    May I suggest you contact the UK based BT Forum Moderation Team - http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

  • T400 or not T400 or terrible customer service from Lenovo

    Why doesn't lenovo ever think about consumer?
    Why do I have to select E6400 instead of T400 when I really want T400?
    Why Lenovo Customer service does not care about customers...
    Please read my case on:

    I plan to publish this on PissedConsumer and in 1 week on RipOffReport, ComplaintsBoard and My3Cents.

    Asyrov, welcome to the forum,
    it is clear that you seem to be unhappy about something regarding an order you placed, what is not clear is what you are unhappy about. You do not state what exactly had changed in the configuration to make you so unhappy, just that you are unhappy about something.
    It would be helpfull if you could maybe provide a little more detail and then members will be able to offer advice according to their experiences.
    If I understand it all correctly, you ordered a system with shared graphic but have now realised you require discrete graphic?
    Thanks in advance

  • Terrible Customer Service / Inventory Issues

    I visited the Mentor, Ohio store this evening and am completely dissassified with the level of customer service provided by the sales staff and the store manager.  I arrived at the store at 8:30 PM looking to purchase a Nest Protect smoke detector - $99.00 item.  I asked several folks where they are located and they pointed me to different locations.  I found the aisle where the Nest devices are but was unable to locate the item I was looking for.  One of the sales associates looked in the system and said it shows 0, but maybe they are somewhere else. (If it says 0 how would they be somewhere else??)  I showed him their online page via my phone that says pickup is available TODAY at their location.  He said it must be wrong and again, maybe there is one somewhere else in the store.  Huh?  So - I went to customer service and found someone that was apparently a supervisor.  I explained my interaction with the sales assosciate and explained what I was looking for.  He did say sometimes the online page isn't in sync or inventory counts are off - BUT - they just did inventory on Sunday so they should be close.  He found the item I was looking for in the system and it shows they do have 4 (the other guy said 0).  He said he'd go track one down and he'd be right back.  10 minutes or so later the same clueless sales associate comes over and says his manager said he looked everywhere and can't find them.  Then he says maybe I want to look back by the hard drives near computers and a couple other random spots.  Ok - you want the CUSTOMER to go look around your store to find your misplaced inventory that was apparently there when you took inventory?  I said I'd wait for the manager to return.  Another 5 minutes goes by and some other random associate says yeah the manager can't find them.  She also explains that they always have inventory issues. 
    Where was the manager during all of this? Why couldn't HE come explain how he just misplaces inventory?
    How about offering to take my name and call if someone finds it?
    How about offering me something for standing around there for a half hour why they look around the store? Oh yeah - I guess I was supposed to be the one looking for it
    No appology... no nothing.. Just yep, our inventory sucks.  Really?!?  Is THAT how you want to do business? Is that C.U.S.T.O.M.E.R  Service?
    On my way home - I decided I'd call customer service.  I said I'd like to make a complaint about one of the stores.  They said one moment they'd transfer me.  I was transfered and picked up - he goes oh hmm let me see what department that would be.  He fumbles around for close to 5 minutes.. keeps saying ok just a second let me see here... then he goes ahh ok I found it and transfers me... I get music for about 10 seconds and....yep... the best thing ever... call drops.  How's THAT for customer service?
    BestBuy - you seriously need some lessons in how to treat customers.  Get it together.  I'll be shopping elsewhere in the meantime.  What. A. Joke.

    Hello EricMCSE76,
    Finding a great smoke and carbon monoxide detector is essential to adding safety and comfort to your home. Nest Protect is a wonderful choice! It is disconcerting to hear about your experience at our Mentor, OH store when you attempted to make your purchase.
    Via BestBuy.com, I see that both the wired and battery versions we carry both show as available for same day pick up. When checking our inventory systems for the Mentor, OH store, it appears that we should have both available at the store. This is discouraging to find, as it seems both our associates and a manager were unable to locate the products in our store.
    While this might not be your typical movie or computer that you would be able to easily locate the area of the store that it should be located in, our associates should be knowledgeable and helpful in locating such an item. I am truly sorry if this was not the experience you had when you visited our store in search of a Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm.
    I am truly grateful for the time you have taken to share this experience with us on the forum! I hope that this experience hasn’t influenced your future shopping destination. If you should have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know.
    Regards,

  • Fed up with the terrible customer service.

    I'm so fed up with Verizon's terrible customer service. My DVR started going out last week. I figured that now would be a good time to get the new 500gb DVR that all of the new customers get to have. After several long calls with "customer service" they said that I could pick one up from the local store (which is a 30 minute drive). So after calling in the morning to make sure that the boxes were in stock, I went down there. They refused to give me the newer 500gb DVR, instead giving me a 120gb DVR.
    When I got home, I called customer service again three more times. The third time, the customer service agent put in an order for a new DVR, promising me that  I would receive the 500gb box. Guess which DVR they sent me? The 120gb DVR!
    Again, I called customer service, got hung up on, called back again and was unable to speak to a supervisor. They also claim that they have no control over which DVR they can send. That's so ridiculous.  
    I've had it. I pay waaaaaay to much and have been a loyal customer for over 4 years. I don't even get the 25/25 internet speed that I'm paying for. As soon as my contract is up I'm switching to Time Warner or AT&T. I know their customer service is much better, and at least I'll be able to use a faster wireless router.  
    Good Bye Verizon. You're way too expensive for how you treat your customers.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    October 2011
    Wanted to add another set top box for a 3rd TV.  So I called customer service and had them send me one instead of going to the FiOS store which in my area, which uses 2 gallons of gas round trip.  I asked for the newer black colored box which is lighter and uses less energy.  2 days later, the package shows up at my door and low and behold, they sent the old large box instead. Surprised?  So I called the local FiOS store in Spring Valley, NY since I couldn't get through to customer service on the phone that morning (perhaps because it was the day before hurricane Irene struck the NY area) and was told to just bring it up there. I wound up spending FOUR HOURS in the store as I was told they couldn't switch it out because it wasn't plugged in and activated!  They made calls to different departments in an effort to straighten this out, but to no avail.  I wanted to take the box and smash it on the floor in front of them!  Unless I miss my guest, ALL cable boxes are tracked by their serial #, so why was there a problem? Because of a colossal design FLAW in the Verizon FiOS computer system that requires you to plug in & activate a box BEFORE you exchange or return it.  Have you ever heard of anything so stupid in your life?  So I took the old box home, took apart that part of the wall unit, replaced the existing HD setop box with the wrong one they sent, activated it, put the wall unit back together, took the box I've had for 4 years back, got the new design one, bought it home, installed it, and low and behold, THERE'S NO CLOCK DISPLAY!  The excuse customer service is giving out for this one is that alleviation of the clock display makes the box use less energy.  Just who does this company think they're BSing?   I was in the digital clock biz back when digital displays first came out in the 1970's.  These vacuum florescent types use barely any power at all to speak of compared to what the box consumes overall.  They know the average consumer doesn't have the technical background I have to know better.  Just another excuse so Verizon could save a buck or 2 on each box they buy from Motorola, As Porky Pig would say, "BADEE BADA BEDED THAT'S ALL FOLKS!"

  • ChatandVision – terrible customer service, PLEASE ...

    ChatandVision – terrible customer service, PLEASE READ
    I would like to share with community and SKYPE my not so recent chatandvision experience.
    I have purchased Skype phone from chatandvision, which is basically link from skype shop but transaction handled by chatandvision and not Skype.
    Purchase was done on 31st of January. On 18th of February I contacted chatandvision for tracking number as order did not arrive.
    Despite clear writing on chatandvision site that orders shipped via trackable service this is reply I got:
    Dear Alex,
    Sorry to hear you have not received your package.
    We can confirm that the order has been sent via Airmail Postage from Hong Kong on the 4 February so you should receive it soon. Airmail service distribution is similar to that of HK Post. This type of delivery service has no tracking number yet hope that any delay is minimal.
    Normally, orders leaving Hong Kong, deliveries via Airmail Postage mail are generally 7 to 10 business days.
    But please note that the delivery time may vary and can take a little longer subject to local customs. Sometimes it can take up to 14-21 working days for your package to reach your destination. 
    We thank you for your patience with this issue.
    Sincerely,

    March 28th, after several emails to chat and vision here is reply:
    Dear Alex,
    We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused on your end. I'd like to confirm though that we have now processed your refund. 
    Refunds typically take 2-5 business days to process from our end, depending on how you paid for your original order (we always credit back to the same credit card that you used for payment). Unfortunately it can sometimes take another 2-3 days for your bank to process the refund, so we advise that you allow 7 days for the funds to be seen in your account.
    The good news though is that we’ll send you an email to confirm when the refund has been completed.
    Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help, and I hope that you will shop with us again in the future.

    Its 9th of May, probably 15 emails to ChatandVision, tons of wasted time and about 100 euro, by now I have only one question how company like this can be a SKYPE  preferred supplier?
    With this service and attitude it’s surprising they are still in business, or perhaps they are in business because they just take your money and do not care afterwards.
    Please BE AWARE when purchase from them

    the webpage should be closed from google and microsoft.If skype is using that (offensive text removed) and not listening customers.....(offensive text removed)
    Exactly the same situation with me......I  "bought" the skype phone over the skype webpage....
    Skype should be responsible also for partners..........

    Its 9th of May, probably 15 emails to ChatandVision, tons of wasted time and about 100 euro, by now I have only one question how company like this can be a SKYPE  preferred supplier?
    With this service and attitude it’s surprising they are still in business, or perhaps they are in business because they just take your money and do not care afterwards.
    Please BE AWARE when purchase from them

  • TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! BEWARE!

    Everytime I call Verizon (wireless or otherwise) I am constantly being transferred around, unable to ever speak to a supervisor or manager if they exist, the staff is rude, incompetent, and generally mean spritied toward a paying customer. Terrible. Abolutely terrible. Unwilling to listen, or assist me with my problem. I don't mind paying the bill of my deceased grandmother, but why can't I speak to a manager in this regard? Terrible. One person tells me the sky is blue, and the next person tells me it's red. I can't win with you people.  I do not want to swtich service providers, but I have receievd better customer service from a rock. Seriously. Absolutely terrible. Until it happens to any of you, you will never understand, but heed my warning, if considering this product or service, BEWARE! 

    Does anyone have a number for Consumer Advocacy??? I have been fighting a billing issue for a year. Verizon blended 2 of my accounts into one and now I can't pay my bill. I've been switched around and around for hours, talked to every department and get nowhere, no empathy, just sorry this was set up wrong and we can't change anything for you.
    Pay your bill, but we're not sure how you can do that. Oh wait, pay over the phone and pay us 3.50 for that. And by the way, we don't have your correct account number anywhere so you can't even pay online through your bank. And now you're a month behind because of us, so we're going to shut off your service. There is no chain of command, no one to take your issues up with. Every now and then you get someone who knows what you're talking about, but I usually get disconnected from then.
    Hate, hate, hate Verizon's customer service. Verizon Wireless is the complete opposite. Like them or not, at least they act like they appreciate you as a customer.
    Any help with a number????

  • Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone through Verizon?

    Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone under their warranty plan?  How did you get a resolution or replacement phone?

    Hello dpetrie,
    A lost or stolen phone is definitely not fun! If this is the case then I'm sure that we have an option available for you. May I ask what model device did you lose? As tikibar1 mentioned, do you have insurance on the device? If so then please advise so we can share options with you.
    Thank you...

  • An example of terrible customer service

    Here is a copy of the chat convo I just had.  I'll highlight  the lines that are disturbing.  I also edited out my name and changed it  to OP and edited a link/zip code I posted.  Otherwise, it is all original. 
    The  first highlighted statement by Jamie was a lame attempt to get me out  of the chat and lose the chat transcript.  I saw right past that.
    The  second highlighted statement by Jamie was a normal closing statement EXCEPT she  added several spaces and then threw in the last sentence for  me to "close" the chat which will bring up a survey.  She was basically  trying to make it seem like the last sentence was an automated message  from the chat server.  I did press close and it just shut down the chat  and I would have lost the chat if I wasn't smart enough to save it.
    I'm not in the mood to call Verizon and complain so I'll do it tomorrow morning.

  • PLEASE READ - Awful Customer Service from both Sky and BT

    For several weeks or more my broadband connection has been dropping off completely literally whenever it wants. There is no pattern, specific times or any clues as to why it does this whatsoever.  We first moved to the area I currently live in back in November'14 and there had been a couple of issues in the area causing broadband to go down. So we assumed the connection dropping was because of similar issues but it just kept happening so enough was enough, time to call sky. So the teach advisor does a line test which comes back fine and confirms the connection has dropped many times by looking at the history just as I said. They then do a 24 hour line test where they were supposed to call me back with the results, you guessed right....they didn't. So of course I was back on the phone to them, they confirmed the connection coming into the home was perfect. They then ask a number of standard questions regarding the setup and connection socket. We established the connection socket was an old one and 'not' a test connection socket.  The advisor then tells me their booking a BT Openreach Engineer because the socket will need changing for the Sky Engineer to test the connection. I also asked "Do you think it could be the router",  the advsor replied "I wouldn't put my money on it". This was great of course, already onto fixing it I thought.  So the day of the appointment comes and low and behold it's a SKY Engineer at the door NOT a BT Engineer even after establishing over the phone he wouldn't be able to test the connection because of the old socket. He knew nothing about the issue &  my perfect working router was changed to a brand new one along with the microfilter etc, which was fair enough because I ended up with a new one. Amusingly I couldn't keep my old one as a back up....jobsworth, this was of course SKY guessing & hoping it would resolve the issue even if it is the first thing to do they were wasting my time because they 'knew' the connection socket wasn't a test one. He said if it still continues then to call SKY and tell them a BT Engineeer will need to fit a Test Connection socket as we knew anyway. IMO this was unbelievable because regardless of this being their procedure I was given the wrong advice from a so called proffesional Tech advisor and they could have sent a new router in the post as well as booking a BT Engineer = waste of my time.  I finally got an appointment with a BT Line Engineer who turned up knowing nothing about the issue, he did a copper wire test and it come back perfect, he said he's never seen a connection so fast. The Exchange is literally around the corner hence the connection is so fast. He said as the copper wire test was perfect that's him done now but he will change the connection socket to a test one.  Whilst fitting it he said it could be the socket as it's old & the connection might not be filtering through properly. Once fitted it dropped & connected again 5 times or more in front of his very eyes, nothing more he could personally do.  When the line engineer was originally booked Sky's advisor also booked a call from their technical support (higher up) to call me in the afternoon after the engineer had been to see if had been fixed etc. I confirmed the connection had dropped after the new socket was fitted so this completely rules that out.  Due to the history of the connection dropping before my original call, Sky's checks and a new socket of course it's time to book a Broadband Engineer. So the lady says "we've established there is no problems within the home so it must be between the home and the exchange so the last thing to do is book a BT broadband enginner". She says "I'll put you on hold a minute whilst I see what appointments we can get".  To me astonishement she says they need to collect some more data and will call back in the morning at 9:30am. So she calls me back and says they are not going to book an enginner because I have been connected for more than 16 hours now. Well that nearly made me choke in disgust and shock simply because their log history of the connection dropping confirms I have gone much longer connected. Not just that but it dropped 5+ times after the new socket was fitted and in front of the enginner that changed it. So if that isn't an advisor not giving a dam about the customer and attempting to save SKY money I dream that just happened. As you can imagine I told her what a joke that was and hung up the phone, absolutely ridiculous and I am sure the majority of SKY employees would agree.  The next day just as I knew it would the connection started dropping again as & when it likes, random as usual. So they actually book a BT Boradband Engineer this time, finally. So the engineer arives once again knowing nothing about the job making him the 3rd person to arrive in the dark about the job. He believed the problem was SKY trying to speed up everyone's broadband for a number of months now even if there was only a meg in it. Because of this apparently my dsl noise-margin  was set at 3 and that was too low. So after discussing noise margins with me he went back to the exchange, called SKY who agreed 3 was too low and changed it to 6. He called back and advised me it should be OK now and to give it 10 days for the line to settle. Rather than running at a fragile 24meg it would be a steady 16 now he said, which I could cope with as long as it didn't keep dropping off. Later that day my connection starts dropping again and I knew full well this has nothing to do with allowing the line to settle. So the SKY advisor goes through the notes that the engineer had made, he mentioned everything we spoke about apart from something that shocked me. He has put down that he couldn't do an Earth *something* test because there was young children about. To my amazement not once did he mention that and if he had my partner could have took them upstairs. However that was that and another Broadband Engineer was booked. He turns up making him the 4th person that knows nothing about the job so after expaining the issue he seems very enthusiastic about the job itself so that was confident. After doing the same tests as the 1st 'broadband' engineer he can't find any issues either, so he climbs the pole 50 metres away from the house. He took it apart, cleared a bit of corrosion but nothing unusual. Then he tells me he'll get SKY to monitor the conection, he has another job to go to annd he'll call back at 3. It got to 5pm and still no call or knock at the door so I called SKY who's customer solutions contact BT who say the the issue has been put down as 'resolved'. I confirmed my connection hadn't dropped since so I left it at that. Because I wasn't at all confident it was fixed it was fixed I kept joking with my partner by saying "Resolved" every so often because of the engineer not calling back and the stress it has caused.  Surprise, surprise, the connection drops again the same evening at just gone 7pm (Saturday) so I am straight back on the phone to SKY. Having to explain everything again he puts me on hold to discuss it with a colleague. They put all the notes from every case into a new one as previous one's have been closed as the engineer's claimed 'reolved' when obviously it wasn't. He explained that it is being 'Viper' escalated now as a complaint to BT because they have given 2 frontline Engineers to rectify the problem & they haven't. So they booked a more 'senior' engineer to come out. SKY advised he will be given all the notes from the case & when they get confirmation of the appointment they receive a reference. SKY then contact BT with that reference and explain everything verbally as well. Whilst booking the appointment & speaking with me the broadband connection goes and so the does the landline so we get cut off. This happens everytime they book and engineer. and 2/5 advisors haven't bothered calling me back to contine the conversation, this guy was the 2nd NOT to call me back. The day of the appointment arrives and because I wasn't called back & received no confirmation I call SKY to confirm who do just that.  I decided to discuss more discount with this advisor because I had only previously received a small amount because BT Engineers keep putting the case down as resolved. On the Saturday the advisor offensively offered 65p because he does as the computer tells him....pat on the back for him. Thankfully the lady advisor this time was more understanding and applied £20 which was at least something. She also said she would speak with her manager and call be back in the morning with some offers as an apolgy because the enginner would have been out and fixed the issue by then. I was also advised it's the last thing that could try as he is a 'senior engineer'.  The so called 'Senior' BT Broadband Engineer arrives and regardless of what SKY told me about it being 'Viper' or 'Hyper' escalated he was also pretty much in the dark. Well as you can imagine that is just the icing on the cake, lost for words. Anyway, he does his tests & says "Sounds like all they've done so far is climb a pole". So he climbs the pole & replaces the cable from the pole to the exchange still confirming everything is fine. There is nothing more he can do and says I will need to call them if it happens again and say "What do you want to do"....shocking to the least.  He put in his notes/suggestions to SKY; should it happen again, replace the equipment at the exchange or book another type of engineer. I NEVER got a all back the following morning from the advisor that said she would call back with offers even though she said "I always make my call backs"..........looks that way. Of course the connection drops once again, this time when I call & after having to explain literally everything again I get put through to 2nd tier techincal support (something like that). The lady explains that she needs to book a BT REIN Engineer, this was definitely what she said as I asked how it was spelt and since googled it too for an understanding. She said she would normally take my case on because of everything I have gone through & it would mean not having to explain it everytime but she is going on holiday and not back until September. She apologised a number of times on behalf of SKY and arranged a call back on 6th September (I think) to discount me further as an apology. So apparently the REIN Engineer is booked, she told me to unscrew the connection socked and plug the microfiliter directly into the test part of the socket. Whilst she's putting the appointment through the landline goes off  which we were taling on as well as the broadband connection going off. When she called back she assumed I was doing the connection socket whilst on the phone to her. Absolutely not, so I explaine that evertime an appointment is booked with BT this happens. A previous advisor told me that BT does and automatic line test upon booking which is why the landline & broadband drop. She was absolutely adament that this shouldn't happen but that was that & the appointment booked. The Engineer turned up  and would you believe it wasn't until I started chatting with him and he'd already started tests that he realised I was expecting a REIN Engineer. He then told me that SKY cannot raise a REIN Engineer they have to (Broadband Engineers) & there's only 2 in the whole of North *my area*. Well again, what do you do but laugh or cry?, I went for the laugh where my blood was boiling.  He also said that there is no 'Senior' engineer as such and also said "If he put in his notes about changing the equipment at the exchange, why didn't here"....exactly. So the Broadband Engineer goes back to the exhange calls SKY who allow him to change the equipment & calls me back advising it's all up & running. I aksed "If it happens again is there anyone I can call directly", he replies; "I don't know, we have a number specifically for BT and I just spoke to someone called Chris who doesn't think it's REIN  *Facepalm* .  This BT Engineer actually did his job properly but for SKY to say "I don't think it REIN after all that is well......lost for words. If I have missed anything out of all this mess I guarantee if it's not incorrect spellings & grammat it's just more awful, awful customer service from both BT & SKY whom are business patners lol.  So SKY.....Is the Issue fixed?What was it?Where's my further discount?What offers you got as an apology? bear in mind I already pay around £80 per month for everything after call charges. So after this shambles I hope it's FREE. Oh and what are the odds on someone calling me? because evertime I get through it's luck of the draw & most of the time it's BAD LUCK. Although I have already spent literally hours on the phone to you I am glad I have got this on the net now as it will know become common knowledge. I have also kept a personal copy in case the Thread is removed.  Regards.  

    Thanks for the info and of course the understanding, althought I am sure someone official browses it now & again my main aim was to get this out there. I had an issue a while ago with EA sports regarding their FIFA 15 game, to cut along story short I was incorrectly banned from their servers for apparently botting so I couldn't play online. Their customer service was diabolical, pretty much on par with this. After some research I found out they were the voted the worse company in the states so that said it all. After being passed from advisor to supervisor to manager and back again everything fell on death ears. So through Google I found as many sites & email addresses as possible and posted/sent my argument. It got as far as the EA president where it was all sorted and I was heavily compensated. If I hadn't of done that though I'd still be banned from their servers.  Will do exactly the same with this case, as everthing goes throught to someone as SKY in the UK it should be a dam sight easier than getting a reply from EA Canada etc.

    No. The original owner who has the contract with the carrier is the only one who can unlock it once he meets the requirements of the carrier.

  • Terrible Customer Service/Sales Reps

    I was always under the impression that Verizon had top notch sales reps and customer service. Oh how I was mistaken!
    I was recently called by my parents asking me to look at their Verizon bill because it was over $200 a month. Well when I took a look at it I saw that they were sold a 75 MB internet plan and 300+ channel TV plan, along with a (suprisingly!) reasonable phone plan. 75 MB for one laptop can only handle 54 Mbps (Wireless G)! I am a developer with a laptop that can handle 105 Mbps (Wireless N) and I only have the 15 MB plan. Also 300+ channels for someone who only asked for HGTV and Investigation Discovery, really? Because those channels are on your 225 channel plan. I lowered their Ineternet speeds to 15 MB, like my own, and lowered the channels down to 225, again like my own. That saved them a whopping $40. $40, really! The only difference between their plan and mine is that they have home phone and that they have a two year contract and I signed up with a no contract plan. So you're telling me that it costs $80 more a month to have a two year contract and home phone service. I couldn't believe it so I called customer service. When I call the customer service reps. they all tell me that there is nothing that they can do and to call the disconnect department because they can work with me more. So I call the disconnect department expressing my displeasure and letting them know that they are about to lose two customers they ask for the account number and about two minutes later I am told that my parents service has been disconnect and what is my account number. Ha! Some help they are. A great way to treat a customer that has been loyal to you for over five years and got me to sign up with you.
    So if that is the game you want to play, fine. I'll be more than happy to take my parents business and my business over to Comcast at the end of the billing cycle. My parents can barely afford to pay their medication. I'll be glad to switch them and myself over to Comcast. They may not let you cancel, but at least they do their damndest to work with you to keep you business—not just tell you that there is nothing they can do and that they cannot creidt your account for the unscruplous practices from sales reps (even though years prior you were able to credit their account for the bullcrap Internet Essentials package that a sales rep. sold them even though they had their own anti-virus software, which is much better than the crap that you offer, for onlu $20 a month).
