Having problems with Genius! ? This may help you.

An update, here is the latest fax I sent last night to Scott Bartlett... they were on top of it back in August... hmm... yeah, right!!!

U R G E N T

TO:             Scott Bartlett

FAX:           0800 19 99 99

FROM:       Rebecca Jones

TEL:            [REMOVED] / [REMOVED]

PAGES:       15

8th December 2011

Dear Mr Bartlett,

My account number: [REMOVED] – Complaint now made to TDR

I am faxing you again because, as you will see from the copied and pasted fax below that I sent you on 11th August 2011, some issues STILL remain unresolved with regard to my Orcon Genius DESPITE numerous tickets being sent through (which are then cancelled by your team before the issue has been resolved) and numerous telephone calls to yourselves.

The service I have received since I switched over to Genius from my regular Orcon service on 1st August has been nothing short of appalling.

You will also see below that I have copied and pasted most of the interactions that I have had via your Facebook page – this shows how long some of the issues have remained unresolved for too. And, obviously because I have complained too much on your Facebook page I am now not able to post/comment on it!

I have this evening contacted the Telecommunications Disputes Resolutions because I don’t think Orcon and myself are able to resolve these issues satisfactorily between us, do you? Not when it is Orcon that needs to fix the service because I don’t have any control over that.

I wish that I had NOT switched to Genius on a 2 year contract. I have been with you for over 4 years over several house moves (always had the same number). Things have just got steadily worse.

Regards,

Rebecca Jones

HERE IS A COPY & PASTE OF THE ORIGINAL FAX I SENT YOU

11th August 2011

Dear Mr Bartlett,

My account number: [REMOVED]

Please could you contact me regarding my overdue invoice (ORCON-8232271). I have been overcharged as I switched over to Genius! on 1st August, and the advanced billing is for my old service.

Sending through a request for support through the Orcon website has got me nowhere, neither has holding on the phone for ages, nor has leaving messages for a call back.

Of course, I would love to pay Orcon for the services you have provided, but can I at least be given a revised amount?

Whilst I am faxing, can you also please look at the following:

1)        Why voicemail on my Genius! does not always make it through to my email – today is the first and only one I have had come through to email despite doing several tests myself.

2)        Why the tone for ‘call waiting’ totally obliterates any ongoing call.

3)        Why the phone manual does not come with the Genius!

4)        Why the Genius! will not allow me to set up my external hard drive as a file server.

5)        Why Rajesh Patel [REMOVED] always deletes his ticket request emails without them even being read (refer to Not read: [Ticket#160888] Re: Genius! Order No. 341746 - Your message was deleted without being read on 8/3/2011 1:50 PM. and others!)

6)        Why it appears that National calling has not been set up on my account, despite my requesting it several times.

7)        Why I was left to sort out a problem where only people from the Vodafone and Telecom networks could contact me on my Genius! by myself, with the assistance of someone from an outside agency (The Telecommunications Carriers’ Forum) who had to put through a request to Telecom to sort it out because your technical support didn’t recognise or realise the problem and had obviously not escalated the issue to them themselves, despite me spending nearly a half day on the phone to Orcon trying to resolve the issue.

I would be most grateful if you could get back to me expediently... some of these issues have been outstanding since 1st August!

With a few exceptions, like the level of customer service that your Hamish Watkins provides, I am really dissatisfied with the way things are being handled at the moment. I had issues when I transferred my Orcon account to this address in April of this year too.

I have been a customer with Orcon for a very long time, and have noticed a steady decline in your customer services and technical support, so please can you pass on your praise in recognition for this one gentleman’s kind assistance in trying to resolve some of these issues.

I will be posting this to you, also.

Kindest regards,

Rebecca Jones

‎Orcon, very big of you. You block me so that I can't post to your Facebook page anymore because of my incessant complaints. If you fixed the issues without closing tickets beforehand, then I would not have to complain. This is shocking service. Tomorrow I am faxing and writing to your CEO, TDR and will contact the reporter who ran the last article in The New Zealand Herald. This service is shocking.

Orcon Hi Kayla, sorry about that, one of our guys will respond shortly.

Orcon Hi Kayla, as you are in a 24 month contract, the termination charges are $199.

Kayla Bee commented on Slingshot's status: "Hi, Slingshot, no, don't worry just yet, because if I switch I probably need to wait till a time when I won't be bothered if the phone/internet dies for a little while whilst it gets switched. I am in a new 2 year contract with Orcon at the moment, but because of their failings in resolving issues I've had with them for over three months, I am seriously considering switching from them (after being with them 7 years) and just buying myself OUT of the contract. I don't care if it costs me $200 early termination fee. Besides, I was with Slingshot prior to moving to Orcon, though not at this address. With regards to how I use the internet, well I have never reached my 30gb allowance, but occasionally I did go over 10gb. But I like a good reliable service with a good speed, with GOOD customer services and technical support. And I must admit, when I was dealing with you just recently with regard to my son's Slingshot problem, you were more than helpful! My son's just switched to you from Orcon, and he is very happy now it is all up and running. If you look at my son's account (user name is zingyzangy) you will find my email address. You can always email me about what you think is the best way to go."

Kayla Bee hi just an enquiry, if i have Orcon genius at home (and therefore no active phone line as such), how much would it cost me to switch to slingshot?

Slingshot Hi Kayla Bee, there is no connection fee when transferring services from another provider. Thanks

Slingshot Hey Kayla, would you like one of the team to give you quick call and chat through your options. We would need to see if you are in a contract and understand how you use the internet etc to see what the best solution is just for you.

I've been an Orcon customer for 5 years and used to think they were great. However, two months ago I went on their so called "Genius" service and the wheels have fallen completely off. My daughter can't phone me and it seems that Orcon cant answer the phone when I call them about it. When I finally get through to their tech support people all they can tell me is that its a complicated issue (duh!) and they can't tell me when it will get fixed - they can't even be bothered to call me back most of the time. Their latest solution - I pay more, I get less and go back to the old service. Orcon's failure in both technical support and customer service has turned me from being an advocate to a very disgruntled (and extremely frustrated) customer - Extraordinary broadband - Yea Right!, extraordinarily bad is the best I can say for it..

Hi, any Orcon customers having problems receiving their emails through Outlook at the moment? Just to let you know it IS a known fault, has been reported by a few to Orcon (including me about 2 hours ago). If you check via webmail, you will see your emails there. Not exactly convenient, but at least you will be able to get them one way or another. Orcon, if only the status on the Orcon website got updated more frequently when there is a known issue, it would save lots of other people having to busy your lines with the same issue! A suggestion would be a link to report 'I am having the same issue' next to a known issue on the website - that way you could track who was having the same problems, and where they were based, to see if it was an isolated case or not.

Orcon Hi Kayla, thanks for your feedback, I'll definately discuss this with our team on Monday.

Hey fellow orcon users. I highly recommend changing telcos as it seems orcon is quite intent on taking money for a service that is no way up to scratch. And then they ignore you. Then they stick you through to tech support which don't answer their phones. If anyone at the company i worked for did that they'd be fired. But apparently orcon just doesn't care...

Why am I getting delays on some emails for up to 14 HOURS (last one was sent last night around 6pm and was received around 9.30am this morning!)? Is there a known fault that hasn't been posted on your website yet? This has been happening for a while...

Hi Orcon, Unfortunately I have bitten the bullet and left. You guys have superb uptime, and the BB speeds have been absolutely fine. But things will always go wrong, there will always be a fault in the 3 or so years that I have been with you and that's cool. But your customer service is atrocious. A few years ago you guys were having issues with international bandwidth and I called up to see what the issue was and my call was answered near immediately, and that was with a nationwide fault. Now with an isolated fault or even a billing enquiry, I can expect 15 minutes minimum. I chose my next ISP by simply calling their support line at different times per day over several ISP's and seeing the wait time. Yes their are worse wait times then yours, but one in particular I never waited over 4 minutes. If you ever want to keep customers, you really need to massively improve the wait times. ..

Anyone else getting seemingly large readings on their bandwidth usage reports lately?..

14 November at 00:41 • .

Orcon Hi all - if you are having issues with the usage meter please give the team a ring on 0800 13 14 15.

21 October at 09:26.

Thomas Brockwell-Parker I did, the response I got was something along the lines of "The usage meter only records data from your house, it can't be wrong, but we'll produce a report of what the data was used on for you."

21 October at 14:31.

Thomas Brockwell-Parker Also whilst you're at it, can you explain to me why you banned my friend Josh Purcell from your page, despite the fact he is still a paying customer?

21 October at 15:25.

Orcon Hi Thomas, the only account I can find with Josh's name on it he is not the account holder, the actual account holder is cancelling the account.

21 October at 15:32.

Orcon Regarding your usage meter issue I apologize that your query wasn't resolved, if you suspect the usage meter is wrong it can be best to either A) Usage free network monitoring software or B) try disconnecting the modem for a period of time and see if the usage meter picks up the disconnection.

21 October at 15:34.

Thomas Brockwell-Parker But as they are still within their month of paid usage, and their account is yet to have been fully cancelled, they are still your customers, correct?

Regardless, it's a bad show of customer service if you go around banning people the second they stop using your service.

I have been using network monitoring software, which I mentioned in my call to your support people. The person I spoke to basically said they could do nothing other than produce a report for me on what the data was used for.

21 October at 15:36.

Orcon Hi Thomas, if you email me your details I can get one of the helpdesks senior agents to give you a call regarding the usage meter. facebook@team.orcon.net.nz

Kayla Bee commented on Orcon's status: "@Ian . . It's helpful for people outside of the area to know when another area has no phone service and email too. But i guess what you may mean is that maybe not everyone has a smartphone. But still good on Orcon for posting it here."

Orcon Hi Kayla, please contact the team with the reference number for the original fault and we will follow up

2 November at 11:30.

Kayla Bee commented on Orcon's link: "i thought people had static ip addresses anyway, so surely it would not be that hard to find people who were downloading unless they were cloaking."

1 November at 20:12.

Orcon ‎@vince @jamie not sure if they pay up front. We imagine they are good for it. As for verifying, we have a system, and then pass the notice on (same as all ISPs) and then people can challenge from there. @kayla our IPs are (at the moment) fixed rather than static. But we know what customer is using what IP at what time.

Still getting intermittent voicemail to email, and when it does come through it's still not playable, also random numbers appearing in my call log which either have not called me, or I have not called? Any ideas as to why this is happening, and when a fix will be available? This has been since I got Genius on 2nd August. Also, it would have been great if I had've known in advance we were only getting a G modem/router, especially as I have been using an N for ages......

6 October at 14:13.

Orcon Hi Beccy, thanks for your questions. Couple of things - what default media player are you using? Personally I have used WMP, iTunes and VLC (and all work) - try switching your default to see if that makes a difference. Also, it's a wireless N router... And, you have to use the Genius modem with the Genius service I'm afraid. We think it looks slick :)

6 October at 13:09.

Orcon I see that you've had a fault lodged for the voicemail issues, I'll have our Tier 2 team investigate this again ASAP for you.

Sorry for the confusion, the Genius device is definitely wireless N.

With the external HD, this isn't really something we fully support but if you partition the drive to a lesser amount it should work with Genius.

Really sorry for all the troubles - really do appreciate your patience in getting this sorted.

AND HERE IS ANOTHER...

Dear support person,

Yes, all the voicemail messages are this long, and no, it hasn’t resolved itself, and yes, I am really fed up at waiting for so long to have things sorted out.

I got connected to Genius on 2nd August... 18 days and it is still not working.

And yes, I have tried calling 789 to listen to my messages, just as I told the original support person I spoke to, and emailed, and faxed into!!!

Can I please have a credit on my account for all the trouble I’ve been having, this just is not fair. I have been a customer with you for a very long time and am seriously thinking of giving up and moving to another provider. If you look back over the history you will see how many times I’ve had to call and email, even posting to your Facebook page (under the name of Kayla Bee).

I am at my wits end now.

And incidentally, to the customer support person who left me a message on my voicemail telling me to pay my $170 bill rather than Orcon sorting out the overcharge for the month and that it will work itself out next month, that is just wrong. Especially when I told them I have financial worries this month.

Please get back to me as soon as possible. All my correspondence is now also being copied to Scott Bartlett and posted too as I am fed up of waiting for ages to get replies.

Sorry about the late reply we have been very busy here at Orcon. We do value as a customer and I will try help you out with the information available to me.

This does seem very strange. are all of the voicemail messages that are sent to your email this length?

Have you tried calling 789 to listen to your messages?

I know it has been some time since contact but hopefully the voicemail issue has resolved itself.

AND AN EMAIL REPLY I RECEIVED FROM [REMOVED]IN RESPONSE TO MY FIRST FAX...

Hi Rebecca,

I am emailing you behalf of Scott regarding a fax we received requesting answers to some issues you have been having with the Genius product you have recently signed up for.

My colleague tried to reach you by phone twice yesterday but unfortunately was unable to make contact and left Voice Messages.

There are notes on the account to help you with your inquiries should you ring the Helpdesk and I have sent this email which will hopefully be helpful.

1) Email Voicemail messages on Genius - this is under investigation but it is still possible to access voice messages by dialing 789.

2) Call waiting interferes with ongoing calls, this is a known issue and is being investigated.

3) Phone manual - this was not in print at the time of the launch but is now available by following this link:

4) Using Genius as an external harddrive - the format required is FAT32 with a limit of 100GB

5) [REMOVED]is not involved with the Helpdesk and would not be able to offer assistance.

6) National calling - there is a request in place to have this added as soon as possible.

7) Other carriers unable to reach you on the Genius system. This is currently under investigation there are issues with other carriers not recognising the network. This will be resolved as soon as possible.

I do apologise for every inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your frustration. Orcon did not expect such a phenonomal reaction to the Genius product and all aspects of this service are overwhelmed with the demand. Contacting the Helpdesk is difficult at this time, we are preparing for more staff to cut down on the wait time on the phone. Our calls and emails are being responded to as quickly and professionally as possible, you continued patience is appreciated.

We do value your long time custom, this experience is not something we would like our customers to have to go through, I hope you decide to stay with Orcon and give us another chance.

I hope this email is satisfactory, if there is anything else you would like to discuss, please call the Helpdesk where myself or colleagues will be more than happy to help.

Regards

[REMOVED]
