Re: Appaling customer service

Question

I echo this sentiment. My activation keeps being delayed. The first time a message was left the evening before, stating it was postponed "due to exchange validation". When I called the "direct line" I spoke to someone aplologized like an an obseqious cringing Edwardian retainer, but had no idea what she was yalking about. She could not expllian what "exchange validation" meant at all, and kept repeating it over and over again. The next day, while on my way to work, I get a text from BT saying an Engineer is on the way and I must be home bewteen 8AM and 1PM. I hope off the train, call work, head home, but by late afternoon no one had turned up. I called again, and got a clone of the same benighted apologist who could not answer a single question concerning the Engineer no-show, or what the issue was causing the delay. Again, a script line was read and the individual did not comprehend the words he was speaking quite clearly. A week later, on my next appointed activiation day, the Hub is locked in the puprple-orange symbol cycle. After nearly a day, and going through all the troubleshooting steps in the Guide, I call again. I get a THIRD Epsilon that repeats everything all over again. I specifically ask the meaning of each noun he spoke, and he confesses he does not know what they mean. However, he is quite clear that my Activation Day is delayed ANOTHER 10 days as I am back of the queue again. I state that this is unacceptable, but no conversation is possible, and HE READS THE SCRIPT TO ME AGAIN!  I not that the BT finance department worked blazingly fast to debit my account before any service was received. It is obvious where prioriities lie.
Utterly shambolic.
