Call centre agent not listening

Not for their internet connection, but call centre agent. Agent called me back at very inconvenient time after I was on hold earlier the day when I had time, but system just decideds it will call back. While I explained that the router is faulty - 1. Needs a hard restart, sometimes twice, to connect to my works VPN 2. It will ramdonly go off and come back on with ne other power issues on the plug (led lights give this away, especially at night when sleeping. Agent said hold on - I notice my internet went out and I lost all my online work as they decided to restart it their end without notification and wehen I confront them to say I just want a replacement router, she went silent for 2 minutes and then just hung up on me.

Dear Burt Louw

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We acknowledge your experience with the call-back and the handling of your query, and we understand how disruptive this was—especially while you were working. The timing of the call, the interruption to your connection without prior notice, and the way the interaction ended are not in line with the level of service we aim to provide.

Your concerns regarding the router have been noted, particularly the need for repeated restarts, instability during VPN use, and the unexpected power behaviour. These symptoms do indicate that the device may be faulty.

Your feedback regarding the agent’s conduct has been escalated internally for review and corrective action.

Kind regards,
Sibonisile
