Dstv customer service - Rock bottom hasn't been hit yet ...but its close

From a soon to be ex premium bouquet subscriber - over the last few years I've noticed a complete degradation of service from dstv's customer service centre ( more so since covid lockdown) and the staff have mentioned that numbers of staff have been reduced ( part of the push to whatsapp /self service options ) but yesterday took the Olympic gold for dismal ...it's taken 9 various " service agents " over the course of the day - from morning to evening, put on hold for up to 15 minutes " whilst we check your account " then cut off , numerous emails etc , the best is they use your contact details to confirm you are the account holder , but cannot respond to emails , whatsapp's or even bother to call back - despite those empty promises to do so ...I can now fully understand why Multichoice is posting losses of premium subscribers of thousands each successive quarter - that and the fact that if I see the movie " Shooter" - 2007 , Mark Wahlberg , is on mnet movies 3 and then the same movie on Mnet Movies 4 - 45 minutes later ( don't get ne wrong it's a great movie ,but after watching 10 times ,I can recite the lines ) ,one more time ,I'll vomit .

Hehehehe, I won't be holding my breath , that's what 9 individual Dstv staff members ( ones who are actually employed and I assume trained specifically for assisting and partly responsible for maintaining and retaining customers ...but I will update the Hello Peter community regularly on the communications

So ....I see Shooter was on again last night for the 100th time and seeing the quick auto response above from the Hello Peter Dstv team....yeah good thing they weren't chosen to represent us at the Olympics - they must of just made now for the 2012 London event .... so needless to say they haven't responded, but hey presto get a call this morning from their Sales team wanting to sell us a new upgrade contract !!!!!@ .... #
