Useless Technican!!

A technician from metrofibre came through to my complex to install Fibre to my neighbors apartment. This said techican, whose name is Victor, while installing the Fibre for my neighbor, he obviously did something to mine as I saw him open the cover of the maintenance hole and thereafter no internet access!!Upon advising my neighbor that my Fibre had lost service she asked said Victor to please check what the issue is as he was working with the fibre. While he was still busy, I confirmed with my service provider that hosts the Fibre that it was nothing on their side. My neighbor before he left directed him to my apartment and Victor decided to ignore her and got into his car and left. Now I am told that it will take 48 to 72 hours to repair such issue. The behavior of your said technician was disgusting to say the least. His customer etiquette is disturbing and now i am left with no connection because Victor decided to not care. I don't even think he would have had the decency to report his said mistake to his supervisor! It's disappointing to know this technican deliberately ignored a problem he created!

Good Day

I appreciate your response.

I am unsure how you will assist as you clearly cannot see the urgency! Unless you send a technician out at 8am tomorrow, then you have failed in showing your concern. Which is literally impossible since no one has contacted me yet.

Are you aware that people work remotely which means one needs internet connection to do so. You will not be concerned about the additional cost, but you are happy to recieve premiums for disgusting services. In addition I would happily understand if it was a general issue but here, your technician literally caused this and all I hear is we will get back to you.

Again!! These automated responses.As I read all the complaints on HelloPeter. I am not surprised.

Please stop replying as it serves zero purpose. Please rather provide proper training to your technicians, so they don't break what doesn't need fixing. Instead I expect a technician out tomorrow morning.

Have a pleasant evening!

Hi Shanice

I confirm that I recieved a call from your offices to which I returned and was advised that a technician would call me immediately.

Please note I am still waiting for over an hour for this call. I would really appreciate if this issue is resolved today!

Good Day

Kindly note that 26 hours later, multiple hellopeter comments, telephone calls, wasted expenses and consequential losses.The same technician who caused the issue, repaired it. Something he could have done yesterday as he was requested to do so.

Disappointed to say the least, imagine all of the above for a no fault of mine, not even a request for your technician to tamper with my Fibre. Just an innocent person going about their day.

I hope that you do better as a service provider. Perhaps it's a training issue, I am unsure but I hope I don't have to ever experience this again.

Have a lovely evening!

Kind Regards
Cavlyn

Dear Metrofibre!!!

Here we go again!! I have Fibre with your company since 2018, with maybe 5/6 issues since then.

However this morning again, my internet service is gone. As you will see from my last complain being 21st February 2023, this is now becoming an issue. Imagine having to wait 24/48 hours every 2/3 weeks.

This is bad service!! Why have you dropped the ball.
