Your support centre is going downhill

This is becoming quite annoying now.

Since I moved home and switched to Vumatel in the middle of February, I have been having disconnects that last for about 5 minutes every week. I would not think too much of it if I did not work from home.

But every week when it goes down (either I'm on a call or I'm uploading/downloading large files), my line goes down. The CPE shows that everything is fine, but the internet light on my router is orange.

I have been calling customer support for most of the time it happens. All of the times that I have called, I am either told that there was an outage or maintenance is happening. 16 weeks have gone by - are you seriously telling me that Vumatel has an outage or are doing maintenance every week for 16 weeks?!

It got to the point where I had to speak to the support agent and actually ask the person to talk to the manager about my situation and how this is happening every week and actually make a ticket for me (which has not been created yet) to investigate the issue. Why am I doing your support agent's job???

This is actually becoming ridiculous. I am GIVING you information - why am I suggesting what the support agent should do and why is the support team not acting on it?!

Hi sorry to hear that, if it is ex SADV/Vuma Villages this has been ongoing for that long.

Do you have your most recent ticket so I can follow up?

Hi,

I asked the person I called earlier to create a ticket, but nothing has been made.
 
Any ticket is fine?

No tickets. As mentioned, I’ve called to report in the past, I mention to the team, they tell me outages/maintenance, I say it’s happening and ask to investigate and nothing is made.

I can go ahead and make a ticket on the portal now if you like?

Also, I’m on VUMA trenched. Not sure if that falls under SADV/Villages.

If there is a call there should be a ticket, PM me your account details?
