IDIOTS @ WORK
I've argued with many dunderheads before but today's argument is definitely up there, amongst the top 3. I called MTN's cancellation department to cancel a Fixed LTE contract because MTN South Africa cannot provide a service during loadshedding. I explained to the lady that I'm paying for a service which MTN cannot provide. She insisted that MTN is providing the service for which I am paying. I then asked her to explain how MTN could be providing the service when the LTE Router disconnects during loadshedding, even though the router remains powered by means of a UPS? She insisted that the problem was not on MTN's side, but on mine. I asked her if I had any control over the Tower and how it could be my fault that MTN stops providing a signal when their Towers go off. We agreed on one thing; loadshedding is not my fault and neither is it MTN's fault but to insist that the problem is on my side is ludicrous. It's preposterous. LADY, YOU'RE A DUNCE!!!! MTN South Africa, upskill your staff and make it clear to them that if the Towers go offline during loadshedding, it's NOT THE CUSTOMER'S PROBLEM. I keep my router on; you can't keep your Towers on and please, don't give me that "the batteries don't have sufficient time to fully recharge or the batteries were ******" excuse. I DON'T CARE! You have no problem in debiting my bank account for services NOT PROVIDED and this clod whom I had the absolute displeasure of dealing with today, has the audacity, the nerve, to tell me the fault is on my side.
1. Why, during loadshedding, are you usually unable to provide me with a Fixed LTE Service? SOMETIMES the internet remains connected during loadshedding and other times, NOT.
2. Why, when Eskom restores the power, does the Fixed LTE Router go OFFLINE for about 5 minutes AFTER the power come back on? My ZTE Router remains powered-up all the time by means of a UPS so please do not state the obvious. The ROUTER REMAINS ON THROUGHOUT LOADSHEDDING but your LTE service AND your Mobile Data service FAILS. Yes, my Mobile Data on *** also usually fails during loadshedding.
AND THIS IS HOW YOU RESPONDED:
