Poor service

Worst customer service experience of my life!!!! Just a continuation of very poor service levels from DSTV over many years • On April 11th requested Holiday decoder activation up to April 30th, 2020 • April 13th called 4 times to fix problem 3,4, 2, and 6 minutes. Holiday decoder switched on all well...except my bill increased to R2244 ... an additional R1330 for 19 days holiday viewing... • Called to query this... this is when a total disaster unfolded o Told it’s a system problem, it will rectify itself at month end o Gave me a verbal Correct amount of R819 o Told she will try something to fix this... then my XtraView failed o Bill now changed to R214 from R2244 • April 20 my XtraView stopped working o Made 4 calls 7, 36, 21, 12 minutes XtraView working …. o Holiday Decoder disconnected for some unknow reason (I think it was the attempt to rectify the R2244 erroneous bill) • April 21 Made 2 calls 6 and 2 minutes respectively to rectify the problem... • April 24 made 3 calls 5, 25, and 41 minutes XtraView still not working Told he can’t fix it and a XtraView specialist will call on April 25th in the morning to fix the problem • April 25 at 10:09 made a 3 minute call to inquire when I can expect the call, told to wait until they call in a very arrogant aggressive tone…so much for customer services • April 25th still no XtraView and no call. In summary, I spent R210 on very frustrating telephone calls, I still don’t have a correct bill, and no XtraView service. It is very clear that the staff competency levels requires remedial action.

26 Apr 2020 called DStv at 16h30, they tried to fix the problem again. Eventually the response was ...sorry I cant fix this I have to escalate this again...please wait for specialist to call you..apparently they tried to call me, but I did not answer...rather strange, as I have no missed calls on my phone from DStv ?
And so the poor service continues!

A script of how to deliver poor service levels

Monday 27th April. I called call center again ....In a very arrogant tone told no call is booked to fix my problem....lost it... DStv simply told me to get an installer to fix the problem...

Absolutely disgusting

Monday 27th. I called the call center again....thankfully spoke to a gentleman by the name of Sameer Hardien...what a pleasure...he fixed the problem by changing one setting in the system..
He also committed to escalate this bad experience to management.
Well done Sameer, you are my hero for delivering a professional competent service !!!!
