Worst customer service ever and rude, unhelpful and disrespectful agents

I wanted to join DSTV as a streaming client for my mom's TV, but their website is extremely confusing. I created a profile and entered all my details. I thought that the only way to see the channels on offer for the Family package was to click on "buy" and eventually saw that I'd prefer the Access package, but when I wanted to select it, I saw that I'm now on the family package and that I'll be billed 30 days from now. I have not even veen requested to give my billing or card details and one of the reasons I was under the impression that we've not selected a package yet. I've been online with their chat facility and their agent who is most unhelpful and basically told me to downgrade as I will be billed for the Family package, irrespective of my mom not even having accessed it yet and it being an honest mistake. I told this unhelpful agent to call me abd he refused and kept giving me the same advice to go online and downgrade. I told him that his name will go onto the hellopeter complaint and he rep**** "GREAT". Well, thank you for nothing and we'll have to look at other options for my mom as DSTV is obviously not interested in our business. My reference or account details ***

I have even requested via your chat, for them to explain how to load channels onto the "my list" and after numerous requests where they answer with the stock standard link to your website which doesn't provide the explanation, they sent me a link to sime ***** video from a guy from India where he shows how to log on etc., but part of his screen is blanked out in the video as he is on a pirated site. This is BEYOND unprofessional and your chat team seems to work without supervision or any concern for the client or redress when they do wrong. If no one can explain to me how to load channels onto "my list", this payment will be the first and last to you and I'll not renew for the next month. This should go in the dictionary as to how NOT to run a business if one wants to grow.

Thank you to the Manager who called us and sorted the issue we had. You deserve 5 stars.
You should however have a call back facility for your streaming package clients who have issues which cannot be sorted by your call centre staff.
Many thanks once again and hopefully you'll fire the 2 chat agents who is willingly losing you clients with their utter negligence.

Thank you for your help in getting this sorted. I strongly believe that you should have a "how to" link for those joining your streaming service which will explain how to use your 'product'. This will prevent future issues and free up your chat and call centre service.
Kind regards
