Sunk cost - Half a month later and no connection.

First app**** for fibre connection with cool ideas on 16 March. Tomorrow is 31 March and still no connection - and unlikely to be any time soon - despite the fact that I have fibre in my unit already and I live in a city hub (hardly a rural area where it may be difficult to activate)!!

I follow up every day because I work from home and need internet - each time I am told that my query has been “escalated to X”. X never helps.

I am stuck with them now because I have too much pressing work to switch providers and potentially go through this again as I need internet asap. I have to accept this as a sunk cost but I am never using them again.

*3 weeks now and still not ready. Finding the service received from the connect department to be unfriendly and unhelpful. The billing department seems to be better equipped to deal with queries.

I can officially say that I have internet now. It took 3 weeks. The internet works fine, but I do wish the service was more efficient and friendly.

Hello

Your team should know me well by now and should easily be able to find my profile since I have had multiple engagements with you over the past two months and I am a current customer: ticket numbers 895830; 908072; 895506; 895624 etc.

I do not appreciate the “we’ve searched for your profile” statement when I am a legitimate paying customer.

Thank you and good day.
