1st-2nd line support inefficiency

Vodacom Business support seems either incapable or unwilling to assist beyond 1st line support. 2nd line engineers keep updating the ticket with false and incorrect information about things they cannot know, like my office being closed. We have a degraded service and have been issued a new router. Problem is we cannot get Vodacom to provision it because one cannot get past 1st line. No one returns calls nor send emails. It is beyond frustrating, it is a breach of contract.

You didn't try and get hold off me. I had to phone in again.
After a combined 4 hours on hold I got to speak to someone above 1st line who told me they can't help me cause they don't have the information at hand. The engineer tasked with resolving the issue went on leave and never handed over.

"Our records indicate that the query was resolved."
Care to share with me how it was resolved? This is news to me.

Still not resolved. The fibre division and the escalations team are now squabbling over whose responsibility it is and are once again ignoring their client. They don't answer calls, don't answer emails and refuse to allow us to escalate the case further.

We raised the issue with customer care who gave us their assurance they would escalate internally but they also have done nothing and are now not returning our messages either.

So be it. We're going to lodge a formal complaint through ICASA
