Great Customer Care
Wasn't really sure where I could put this but wanted to tell the story if I could. Basically I have been on a roller coaster of iPhone problems. My first iPhone's touch screen started crapping out on me very intermittently so I called support and sent it in. 5 days later I got my phone back with a nice little note saying they couldn't do anything for me because the problem could not be reproduced. Duh!
Tried removing some data, restoring etc...to see if the problem would alleviate itself and went on my way. Few days later problem was back. Sent the phone back in for repair. 5 days later got the phone back again with another little note saying the problem couldn't be reproduced.
Called support and we tried a few more things and basically carried the phone around for 2 days with NOTHING on it but recent calls....anyway the **** thing started it all again. This time I called and said look, I need a new phone. 5 days later I got my "NEWLY REFURBISHED" phone.
Thinking it was all over I went on my marry way. Well about two weeks later something jacked this one up as I could be right in the middle of a call and all the sudden the phone would tell me the SIM card had been removed!! HuH? Kept doing it after like 3 brand new SIM cards too.
Called apple for repair. Sent the phone in. 5 days later what did I receive at my front door? A BRAND NEW, RETAIL BOX, 16GB IPHONE!!! Thing of beauty huh? They called me and were extremely nice basically said they were going to upgrade my phone for me from the 8GB model I sent in. I was stunned and VERY appreciative!
This one is working terrifically and I have had ZERO problems so far. Just wanted to spread the word that at least someone at Apple really cares about their loyal customer's having quality products and being HAPPY.

Sent a mail to apple Customer care- No Reply
Dear All,
Below mentioned (in Blue Font) is the mail I sent to Apple through its website on 15th of December 2011. Till now I have not even recieved the acknoledgement of my complaint.
iPhone 4S is currently the best and the most expensive phone commercially available in India (With the exception of iPhone 4S 32 & 64 GB Models), and backed with a company like Apple, I expected better services.
Please let me know "How can I put forward my complaint to the right department", as I am unable to find the right E-mail id or link for this type of customer complaint.
"Dear Apple Team,
I ordered an iPhone 4S - Unlocked (GSM) - 16GB White on 25th November 2011 through Order Number: W264847590.
This phone was a gift for my sister's birthday (15th December). I ordered the phone from USA because the White iPhone (unlocked) was not available at the apple store in my city - (Jaipur - INDIA), so I requested my friend Mr. A. Dhanuka in USA to send the phone to India, with anyone coming along.
Mr Dhanuka called the Apple Customer care to request a speedy delivery and the status of my order on the apple's website was Shipping on 7th December via 2 to 3 days guaranteed shipping.
It is with great disappointment i am informing you that neither the phone was delivered within 2 to 3 days of shipping, nor did I get the product I ordered for my sister. In stead of a White iPhone, we received a Black one, which totally messed up the whole White theme of her birthday.
I am a loyal apple customer since 2006 and own 2 iPhones (first generation), one Mac book Pro, Ipad 2 etc. But this was a first apple experience for my sister who owns a Samsung Smart phone, and now mocks my love for apple products.
I dont know how much this mail will affect you guys, but this incident had affected my loyalty towards Apple.
I hope u guys have a way to make things better.
Thanks and Regards
Mohit Tambi"

Swindled, lied too, and lack of customer care!
Back in Auguest, we qualified for "new" phones. We've been customers for over 10 years. We visited a local Verison store in Pataskala Ohio. We were looking to get into the "smart phones". We saw several, some very nice and EXPENSIVE ones, a few that were less expensive.
We told the salesmen what we were looking for, and pointed out a few, one of them was the Samsung Gem. Little did we know. We knew NOTHING about smart phones but only what we saw on TV, guess Verison feels buyer beware to be an understatment.
The Gem was just under $50.00, hmm.. on sale it seems. We had no idea, the trouble, the lack of usability, these phones had. The salesmen seemed to know all about them, so he said. We find out, as time went on, that 1, we could NOT upgrade to the 2.2 droid OS as Verison does not seem to want these phones upgraded.
We also found out, that you can NOT put any of the app's on the SD cards due to the OS version. We also find out how little room there is on these phones for apps. Further, we learned that these phones were NEVER suppose to be sold by Version dealers, that they were "in house" phones only.
I've tried to email Verison but hmm.. we can't find an EMAIL address for support!
My wifes phone has had issues for the past month, runs slow, won't connect and very VERY short battery life.
Now.. I would like someone from Verison with guts to assist us in getting rid of these phones, and re-issueing us a new trade in deal.
I wonder if there is somone out there who cares!
These Gems SUCK, and seems Verison only cares about sales, and NOT customer care!MostlyALurker wrote:
It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who don't even do the most basic of research before buying an expensive item or getting themselves locked into a contract. There is SO MUCH info out there about the pros and cons of various phones. It's called Google, people!
It also never ceases to amaze me about the number of people who register for forums such as this only to complain and then disappear into the ether again.
God forbid someone expects a represenative of a company that generally gets high marks for customer service to not completely rip them off and give them wrong information. These customers have lives that do NOT revolve around cell phones and spending hours on the internet going through the tech media and their reviews that say pretty much every phone out there is crap and god-like at the same time. The people who spend 40+ hours a week in the mobile cell phone stores are the experts, get paid to be the experts, and so it shouldn't be completely uncalled for to hope that these people will guide the less informed in the general right direction.
People don't take their money to Verizon because of the great data speeds or cheap phone plans. They go to Verizon because Verizon is known for excellent customer service. If they want to get ripped off by some slimey scumbag salesperson they go to Boost Mobile or Cricket. Even if an "authorized reseller" was responsible for this, Verizon is the one who hands out these licenses and has a duty to make sure somewhat decent business is being conducted with their name. Because again, the consumer who has a life that might surround insurance or banking or medicine or a family or any variety of other things that do not deal with mobile products has no idea what authorized reseller, premium reseller, or corporate means nor should they be expected to.
Take your elitist attitude and get out of here. -
Canon: Best Cameras, but Worst Customer CARE?
As a long-time lover of Canon's Powershot cameras, I've grown accustomed, and been quite willing to put up with, its user-unfriendly site, clunky software and various glitches and snags that come with getting set up.
With the new SX700, another amazing camera in the series, Canon Image Gateway ("CIG") sounded ready enough to take the time to set it up, along with the wireless CameraWindow app on mobile devices. I'd like to emphasize how many years of great photos Canon has given our family on vacations and special occasions, because the rest of this is not especially pretty.
Matters DID start well with the CameraWindow app. Installing it onto my S3 and Kindle Fire (side-loaded its apk) went smoothly. I can transfer images from camera to phone and tablet! Nice start, since it's a just a short hop from there to social-posting.
[[ By the way, for those who use Kindle, I highly recommend the APK Downloader extension for Chrome (for when an app is not available for Kindle directly). I found it while searching for the APK for this Canon app.
You enter the URL of the app (i.e., URL from Google Play). The app downloads the "official apk" to your desktop!
Transfer the apk onto your Kindle and then install it using a file manager.
You can count on the apk being virus-free since it comes from Google Play. Many apk sites don't have the more specialized-type of apps and there's always the worry about how clean their apks are. ]]
But I digress...
Back to Canon's Image Gateway. I should have stopped with CameraWindow on mobile devices, but was tempted by the ability to upload directly to social media from the camera via Canon's site (although it's not clear if it can do that in one-step).
What a pain. Canon's site asks me (you, too?) to log in to CIG even though I've already logged in. I can access my account, see that my 700 is registered, etc., but I'm asked to login again.
This would normally be just another one of Canon's inevitable glitches/low-usability issues (ex., one of its certificates is questioned by both Safari and Chrome with worrisome "careful" language, some parts are ambiguous and need figuring out, etc).
But the really big issue is that when I DO try to login (when already logged in), I get this error page, no matter which browser I try...
https://www.cig.usa.canon.com/error/general.html
I've tried many workarounds, looking for backdoors that take advantage of the fact that I'm already logged in, even downloaded their Gateway Album app to see if that might find a backdoor to login to Canon Image Gateway (desperate, I know). Same result - the app won't even login.
I finally(!) got the idea to see if was "just me" who couldn't figure this out. I did a search at Google for "cannot login to canon image gateway"...
https://www.google.com/#q=cannot+login+to+canon+image+gateway
This is, it seems, a BIG problem, especially when you consider that most folks just give up rather than come to forums, making what we see (here and in the Google search) just the tip of the iceberg. And it's been happening for many months.
Canon gives a variety of excuses, ranging from "server down for weekend maintenance" to the user being in a foreign country (don't lots of people use their cameras when traveling? -- global access would surely be a big part of this?).
Canon's basic strategy seems to be to bury the problem by telling folks to contact Support (whether it's at YouTube, their social media locations or here). Canon looks good by replying (and they do it religiously). If the intent was genuine, it would be admirable. But folks seem to enter a black hole and never come out.
Where are the happy "thanks for fixing that for me" customers? Almost everyone complains that they wasted hours with Support, repeating the same troubleshooting that they'd already spent so much time on. Some report being told that they were the only ones with the problem, clearly not true.
So I have no interest in wasting yet more of my time on this by contacting Support. (I did find one person who later managed to login, but that did not seem to be connected to his contacting Support, given the delay and lack of on-point communication from Canon.)
This is a disrespectful-to-loyal-customers attitude, no way to handle what should be a very simple problem. It boils down to this...
1) Logging into websites has been mastered by webmasters/sysadmins long ago.
2) The Image Gateway is now an essential, core functionality, especially if this actually enables users to upload directly to Facebook from the camera (once all is set up).
3) Even if it worked, there must be a faster way to set this up, to build the software into the camera? Canon could really use a Web-based UI-centric team that eliminates all the needless little barriers along the way. A customer CARE attitude starts well before having to post to a forum or contacting Support.
4) I love the Powershot cameras. The SX700 makes up for the disappointing 280 (with its video-related battery problem and minor changes). For example, the image stabilization on the 30x zoom of the 700 is amazing (the 30x itself is fantastic). And low-light shots are better than ever. The hardware is why so many of us stick with Canon.
The software has always lagged, something Canon can't afford in the long run, not anymore. Before worrying about that, though, customer CARE starts with paying attention to all the complaints and prioritizing THIS particular issue so that everyone can login painlessly.
In SOFTWARE companies, bugs that are "total stoppers," frequent and simple-to-fix - they normally get prioritized to the top. It's hard to understand why this is still an issue.
It's time to stop sending us to Support and instead to just fix this problem. We should be able to...
Enter username and password. Get in. Set up what is now core functionality painlessly. Get out. Watch happily as it all works perfectly after that.
With respect but frustration,
Ken
P.S. A quick follow-up. Installing that Gateway Album app actually DID seem to help. Some 2 hours after the initial failure, I can now login using both Safari and Chrome! The timing is too tight to be coincidence, although I've no idea why it works now.. However <sigh>...
The camera can no longer find the mobile devices (a big step back) and it won't give me an authentication code. And so it goes... the temptation to lose yet more time. Must resist and move on.Hi KenE,
We're sorry to hear of the issues you've been having with our Canon Image Gateway. The website is currently down for maintenance and will be back up once it is completed. If you have any additional questions, feel free contact our Canon global support for your area here: http://www.canon.com/support.
Thanks and have a great day! -
Very Poor Customer Care Europe
I switched from a an iPhone back in August and I found the WP OS easier and far more functional than iOS. There are fewer apps and sometime features missing on apps that exist both in IOS and WP but nothing I could not live without.
Overall it was good experience with the occasional overheating and short battery life some times. All these up until the screen turned purple in the lower right corner and I had to encounter the NOKIA/Microsoft Customer Service. After three trips of the device to the repair center and 2 months of back and forth exhanges I had to switch back to my old iPhone to have a functional device again.
I am sorry to say that a great device and OS have such a terrible customer service especially when they cater service to a flagship product such as the Lumia 930. Microsoft customer care has to understand that these devices are day to day helpers and people that pay their money to get them need to have them functional everyday. One week, without it, is to long but two months just tells the customer to find another company to give their money. I has been a terrible experience to for me, and the lack of escalation options makes me wonder if any one cares at Microsoft/Nokia division.
It will probably take me a few years before I try again a Microsoft phone and that is a shame, because I liked the OS and the device as a whole.Di you get any help from nokia on this?
They are not gonna give it a *bleep*..... I have been through their service....
Better switch to a cheap Xiomi and if a problem arises just throw it.. off why do u want to spend time here
RIP Lumia

Customer Care the Creative Labs way.
Customer Care the Creative Labs way.The key phrases here are:we appreciate the opportunity to assist you. If you still require assistance, please reply to this email? To cut a long story short..I have a Creative Labs portable MP3 player (a Zen Sleek 20 Gb) which requires a new battery. The machine was bought new, has been well looked after and is otherwise in perfect working order. Although the machine is just 5 years old Creative say they no longer provide any after sales support for it and, although not in so many words, advise me that my only option is to replace it. Dear Marc,
For this issue, I do apologize but please understand that we no longer have any spare parts for the player like the battery to be able to offer repair serivces.
We have discontinued manufacturing parts for the player for more than 2
years now and without parts, we cannot offer any type of repairs.
If it were available, we would have offered you the repair service in
the first place. What good would it be for us to decline you of repair
options.
Do what you think is right abd proper but like I said and as what my
colleagues informed you previously, we no longer have any repair options
for the Zen Sleek player.
Regards,
xxxxxxx
Creative Customer Support Services, Creative Labs
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly xxxxxxx.
Creative designed (and sold) the machine with a built-in battery.
Creative's engineer's and product designer's know that rechargeable
batteries have a finite and rather short life-span. Much shorter than
the life span of the Zen Sleek 20 Gb as a whole.
I am not prepared to throw this machine away and buy a replacement when
all it needs is a new battery.
Unless Creative would like this entire correspondence to be posted on
relevant consumer web sites, such as anythingbutipod.com I suggest you
get back to me with an appropriate solution.
kind regards,
Marc

Dear Marc,
Thank you for getting back to us. I am sorry of what happened.
With regards to your issue, I am sorry to inform you that as the zen
Sleek is designed with the built-in battery which cannot be

Thanks xxxxxxx,
In the case of the player in question, I still believe the battery
needs to be changed. THis is normal given the age of the player and the
amount of use it has had.
What are my solutions for achieving this?
I have always believed that Creative is not the sort of company which
lets its customers down when it comes to afer sales support.
As I have said previously, the machine is in perfect condition and is
only around 5 or 6 years old. It was a very high spec machine when I
bought it and I have neither the money nor the inclination to change
it.
Could you please advise as to how I can replace the battery, and not
refer me to any other parts of your web site.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your response xxxxxxx,
What would you suggest? That I throw the machine away and buy a new one?
This player is still functioning perfectly. It never skips, rarely freezes and is generally in excellent condition.
All the interfaces, charge leads work perfectly. It deli'vers excellent sound quality.
As a result of being charged a great number of times, the battery no longer holds as much charge as it did when new. The player's autonomy has decreased sharply as a result and, unless I am able to charge it every 2-3 hours or so, I cannot use it.
The player is not that old, no more than 5 or 6 years.
Surely there must be some solution for prolonging its useful life.
I will leave it with you to make inquiries within the Creative Labs structures.

This is an interesting take on the situation.
I do not consider 5 years as an acceptable life span for a machine which cost close to 200 GBP, was made by a highly reputable manufacturer and has been well looked after. 0 perha
ps.
If this is the case, then at the moment of sale the customer should be advised of the limited life span.
I have not the skills, the material, the time nor the inclanation to take the machine apart myself, even if a suitable new battery could be found.
I agree with you that the cost of repair is likely to exceed the cost of replacement.
I shall continue to use the machine for as long as I am able (despite its short autonomy) and will look to Creative's competitors when I eventually replace it. -
I think ur customer care department and the delivery for attending the problem is just horrible. only if u try getting in touch with the customer care department u will come to know that it is very difficult to get across the right person to take care of your problem. very difficult or faulty system. It has been 10 days and no one to repair our machine inspite of extended care pack. It is very frustrating going through this process of getting down to the right person. It is only if you go through this process. I will rate HP negativeon this account.

Apple customer care illegal took more money off of my credit card??????????
After hours and days on the phone to my service provider Orange UK (my iphone4 is three months old) they accepted there was a fault with the phone and put me directly through to Apple I was quite bewildered what was going on.
Orange told me Apple will now send you a new phone!
Now talking to Apple.
They told me I would have to travel to my local shop 45 miles away or have the phone picked up for repair and would not supply a replacement phone. The phone would be away for possibly 10 days or more for repair when I explained this was was not good enough as I need a phone for work.
They turned round and said that they could offer me a service, the phone would be picked up and replaced with a recon iPhone4 within the next three working days (no defined time or day could be given just in those 3 days) and a deposit of £480 payable immediately over the phone, this would be reimbursed several days later when they were happy that my phone was not smashed or water damage when they received it.
I didn't have any choice, I have to go for this option.
I did a card transaction over the phone and was told that it would be for £280 they actually took £499 as I checked with the bank a few hours later this is classed as illegal transaction fraud, theft or any illegal act.
I'm writing this four hours after making this payment to Apple
This is how Orange really deals with iPhones?
Is this really how Apple customer care operates?
Can anyone help me with this palaver?
MarkHi Thanks I've spoken to the bigwigs! Good customer liaison the chap I spoke to in the end after getting patched back from the States.
Apparently I was told the wrong cost as everyone sayed and because my credit card is actually a debit card the money is removed from my account and yes it will be reimbursed fully once they're satisfied with my return phone.
Strangely enough UPS just turned up as I was writing this with the exchange phone.
Apparently the Apple chap told me yesterday this will be the replacement phone I keep, my old one will be refurbished and put back into the system.
Thank you for the great replies it was really reassuring and helped calm the situation.
Have a great day Mark -

I have upload my Adode Creative Suit 5 design premium on my first apple mac pro successfully.,i purchased in a retail shop few year ago...!as it have two use of the CD when installing ..i'm trying to install it on my other apple mac pro..but this time it is say that the serial number is not valid..i got it checked by Customer care, they said it is valid and should be working when set up on my laptop..can someone pose help as i don't know who to turn now to find answers...many thanks
Kind RegardsHi Rich,
The cause of this can be multiple. First of all be sure you use the original CD + serial. In case of a download same story. Try to find out if the installed version match the language of the serial (they need to match). Last but not least: Check if you use a upgrade version, if so it might be needed to fill 2 serials.
Can you share a screen of the error (please hide the SN ) -
I reset and erased my iphone 4 and now I can`t reinstall it! After I choose a language, region. and wifi, it says Please, try again later or contact customer care. I tried to do with iTunes, and iTunes even sees this iphone, but it`s like blank, there is nothing I can do in iTunes. It uploaded last software for this iPhone 4, but when it tries to do the reserve copy of iphone first, it shows a mistake. And ask to disconnect and connect the device again, which, obviously, doesn`t help.
This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
Is this the case...?
If so...
Then... Sorry... But...

I have an 11/2007 MBP... 4 yrs, 2 months and 3 weeks old tomorrow. Yesterday I got the "black screen of death".
I won't bore you with what I tried, but today a local expert assessed the situation: reset SMC and PRAM, noted that it booted into target disc mode and would screen share, in other words, he proved it was one of the known MBP's of this genre (15", 2.4/2.2GHz) to have a defective NVIDIA 8600 graphics processor. I called the recommended local Apple Authorized repair facility only to be told that, while these WERE being repaired at no charge, out of warranty, it had been discoved that, OMG they were repairing a WHOLE BUNCH of them and a time limit had been imposed and there were no longer being repaired after they reached four years from purchase date.
WHY WAS THERE NOT A RECALL? WHY WAS NO ONE EVER NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECT? And why am I just SOL because my computer chose to work an extra two months and eighteen days?
I plowed through the "you don't have phone service" with battering ram efficiency this evening, past the Apple care agent, his supervisor, and to "Customer Care" with whom I will be speaking again tomorrow. I have told them I "EXPECT" a "customer satisfaction code" which will provide me with a free repair. I have armed myself with the absolutely outrageous information that Apple, after booting NVidia out three years ago (one guesses after the rotten graphics bit) is welcoming them BACK this spring - Oh, so ANOTHER generation of MBPro users can get screwed?
I sure could use some help here when I need another argument! Does anyone know the magic language to induce Apple to behave in an Apple-like manner concerning this matter?Their is no "magic language". The 4 years has passed and you have nothing to argue about: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2377. Apple owes you nothing anymore regarding the out of warranty repair on your mac. How long do you expect them to repair this for? 7 years, 10 years?

Why is BT Customer Care So Bad at Dealing With Com...
More appropriately, BT Customer Care ought to be called the BT Customer Barrier. Its primary function is to defend BT from the problems its customers may be having and its fundamental ethos is that the customer is always wrong.
This is made abundantly clear at the point of initial contact, its internet pages, where the first thing to greet you is the statement that most faults occur within the customer’s own infrastructure. This bizarre assumption is carried right through the extensive faults procedure where each step is directed remorselessly toward persuading the customer to find and fix a fault that without further investigation is undoubtedly on their own premises and of their own making; BT does not admit that faults might occur outside of customer premises or make provision for those who are competent enough to have already carried out these basic checks and want to move on. Neither is there a clear onward step for BT to take ownership of a reported fault after the checking procedure has been completed – again there is an assumption that all faults are the responsibility of the customer. For a persistent customer it leaves the complaints procedure as the only option to progress.
The complaints procedure is another mechanism dominated by the customer-is-always-wrong ethos. The first thing a customer service operator will do is to insist a customer go through the same step by step procedure covered by its internet pages, regardless of whether or not the customer has already done this. Presumably the operator is trained to believe that the customer is incompetent. There is a pre-scripted, condescending and belittling conversation that follows which often involves the customer service operator magically changing from a care representative into a sales representative, offering new packages and various pieces of equipment that he is almost sure will cure the fault. The last resort, if a customer manages to stand firm and turn down all these alluring offers, is for the operator to reassure the customer that everything will be all right if they just be patient and give it a couple of weeks. Then it’s goodbye.
During the lifetime of a fault this procedure will repeat itself several times and each time the customer service operator will behave as if it were the first. BT appears to have no method of gathering useful retrievable information about a specific complaint or sharing it between operators. Eventually frustration and anger from a customer will lead to elevation where the customer is promised a call-back from a BT engineer. Call-backs from BT engineers are not lightly won.
If you are lucky to be promised a call-back you will be given a time slot and an automatic telephoned reminder first thing in the morning while you are still in bed. A pre-recorded voice message from a hugely condescending and suspiciously sceptic female will make sure you are awake and ready for your call, which may not be for several hours. If you are very lucky your call-back will be made, but often they are delayed or forgotten or have not been booked at all. And, of course, it will be your fault.
I know all this because I have been through it on more than one occasion. My latest battering against the BT Customer Barrier began four or five weeks ago after I had meticulously carried out my own checks. For some months I had noticed that BT broadband was either dropping out completely or reducing strength to download speeds that were unusable, sometimes as low as 0.01mbps, but mostly between 1 and 2. This always seemed to coincide with peak times when my BT contract assured me my signal would not fall below 5 or 6. My own checks consisted first of looking closely at my wifi which at the time admittedly was quite weak. I installed a wifi repeater which boosted the signal but did not resolve the problem so I changed my phone filters but this did not resolve the problem either. I tested the line using quiet mode but there was no noise on the line, I changed my router, I repositioned my router, I changed to Ethernet and used only the BT service socket cutting out all intermediate infrastructure in my home, and I tried all of the above whilst turning on and off various devices I thought might affect my broadband signal. Nothing solved the problem.
At this point I fully believed I had covered every possible self-check known to man, but BT felt differently and tried to make me go through them all again. BT then told me it was my router, which I knew it wasn’t, and that I would have to buy a new one, which I already had, so I declined; then they told me that most probably there was work going on in the area that I did not know about, but neither did the operator because when I asked him about it he admitted he did not know if there was work going on in the area or not. I actually admire him for making that bit up; it showed a spark of spirit. Eventually he told me everything would be all right if I was patient and to wait a couple of weeks, and then he said goodbye.
Everything was not all right and after two more weeks, two more emails and two more conversations that had to begin from scratch because BT had forgotten everything I’d said previously, I eventually won my call-back from a BT engineer and an agreed time slot. Only it didn’t happen. I waited for the call but it never came. A call did come, nearly an hour after the allotted time slot, but I was not there having already given up waiting for it. And that was my fault again.
So, what is wrong with BT Customer Care? Well, just about everything to be honest. It is fundamentally flawed from top to bottom. It has a preconceived conviction that the customer is always wrong and does nothing to hide that conviction. From a customer perspective it is like trying to swim up a waterfall. They make you feel so small. BT Customer Care needs dismantling and rebuilding from scratch, it is an appalling, abhorrent and arrogant organisation that ought to be banned from having the name British in its title; I am pro-European and British, and I am ashamed that BT Customer Care can use the same designation, which is less confrontational than it sounds given that it is mostly located in India. It has become the benchmark by which all poor customer service in Britain is measured by, a level of incompetence to avoid. It’s no coincidence that other internet service providers make a major selling point of not having the same customer service setup as BT.
Eventually my call-back came after weeks of trying and BT agreed to monitor my broadband speed to see themselves what was happening – an appropriate course of action I suggested at the outset. No apology because, naturally, I had been wrong to suggest it and it had only become the correct thing to do when they thought of it. They agreed to monitor my broadband speed and to call me back after three days. After only one day I received an email saying that I should monitor my own speed and send them the results. I pointed out that I had already done so, several weeks earlier. I sent them new results. In all the speed test results sent to BT a clear pattern of drop-out and poor signal strength at regular times during the day were obvious. BT then took to calling me back at times when they knew my signal would not be dropping and asking me to run a speed test, thereby proving I was wrong about having a fault on my line.
Fault or no fault, BT Broadband remains unusable for around two hours per day. When this current contract ends I shall be looking for a new provider.
Solved!
Go to Solution.welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
By posting on the forum I assume you would like assistance and not just a rant to blow off some anger
you appear to have tried what normally would be suggested but in order for the forum members and/or mods to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem
