Rain's lack of support disappoints

Dear people at Rain, Your sales team was super-keen & the onboarding process was slick & relatively unbureaucratic. Also, even in this supposedly digital age, it’s a really good idea to have physical premises where customers can get things done & speak with actual, intelligent human beings. However, when it came to providing support, you failed, like so many service providers these days, no differentiator there. I was getting only a super-slow speed of 3Mbps & the signal strength indicators meant nothing to me, but none of my 3 calls were answered, nor did I ever get the requested call-back (I phoned your support line at 10:32 on 02 July, at 09:08 & 11:43 on 03 July, & logged a 4th call-back request on your website around midday on 03 July). I was also really disappointed that I encountered “high call volumes” every single time. Thank goodness the process of returning the router was unproblematic & a refund instruction has been issued. I’m left wondering how much more you could achieve if you were as focused on proper support/service as you are on innovative technology?

Hello again Rain, yes please, I do in fact require further assistance: not only is your post-sales support practically non-existent, it seems that your back office admin too is a mess. I have a 03 Jul SMS from you confirming that I successfully returned the router on that day & that my cancellation was finalised (ref no ***3, I dealt with Neo in your shop at Cambridge Crossing in Paulshof). However, today 05 Jul, I get this SMS: "CCD confirms receipt of a collection request from rain. Please follow this link to schedule your Collection Appointment. [...] For more info call *** with Ref rnc306355."
NB: I will not waste my time (& airtime) sorting out your admin mess-up, so please (you yourselves) get onto this CCD crowd, tell them to retract their SMS & then (you yourselves) please re-confirm with me that everything is in order.
Then, regarding the substance, or rather the lack thereof, of your reply to my initial feedback: when you get specific & constructive feedback that points out where you are failing as a service provider, it's probably good perception management, at least, to indicate that you might do something to fix the failure. Your bland reply to me suggests that you couldn't be bothered. Such a pity, I really thought Rain might be in a different league.
