Cell C - the only thing they do consistently is disappoint,,!

Once again, absolute ineptitude punctuated with brilliance..!

After weeks of try to get my home router to work, I was put in touch with a competent technical advisor. He ran a number of diagnostics and told me to take said router to a store for repair. This I did, and was helped by a fantastic assistant at Clearwater Mall - really on top of his game!

That was Friday of last week...Everyday I got updates, and today I was informed that I should go and collect a new unit at the store. This I did, good service (not great, actually a bit indifferent, but hey, it was late in the day...).

Now the fun starts - I unpack my new router, go through all the steps - nothing... All the steps again...nothing! As you can imagine, I'm now fuming! I call customer care, answered by Lebochang - probably the most indifferent and useless call centre agent I have ever had the misfortune of interacting with.

Each time I expressed my displeasure, I was answered with "fine"and"OK" - NO IT'S NOT FINE OR OK... why is your technical division not working, are they are strike, why can i not get support to sort out this router which I've not been able to use for close on 3 weeks... ?!?

Come on Cell C wake up!

Good morning Michael

We are sorry to learn the above, this is not the norm or standard of service we want for our customers.

Does the router switch on? If it does and you get an error, have you tried inserting a different SIM card in the router?

Regards

Listen, what kind of imbecile do you think you are dealing with... Let me repeat - 1-Sim card checked - working. 2-Router yes and replaced. 3-Yes it is on..! 4-No I don't have internet connectivity. 5-Have I tried CellC tech support - Yes 6-Are they available to assist - No - for some reason (Strike, hostage drama, quarantine..?) they are not available at present! Come on now - this is becoming embarrassing!

And again, pushed from pillar to post - zero tech support,,,, This has been almost 5 weeks of no connectivity, no support - I bet I'll be expected to pay for this shocking ineptitude..?
