Fixed line over fibre

 

 

 

issue; can’t receive calls (callers get engaged signal)

 

at my end, we have both dial tone and can make outgoing calls, we even have internet 

 

(VF ultrahub)

 


here is the kicker, this same issue is also present on my mums house account at a different location and account number too!

 

 

 

I’ve spent most of Saturday talking to One NZ “trouble shooting”.

 

seperate phone calls for each location. 
I thought the issue was fixed on the first location but the problem re appeared.

 

I haven’t heard back from them about the second location yet.

 

 

 

I could elaborate the going’s on but I’m out of steam…. 
We’ve done “resets” and just now I’ve even had to send a picture of the router with nothing plugged in (even though the serial numbers all match to the account).

 

 

 

I think I’m just getting dicked about by the level one crew.  One would think if I’ve rang them the second time with the same issue, and also noting I have the same issue at a different house altogether….it’s pretty much time for them to pass this up the line.

 

 

 

I’m confident the issue is at One NZ end….

 

Let’s see what tomorrow brings….

 

 

 

yeh I know…I need to walk away from one nz….I just can’t be bothered with the admin to do it.

Update 

 

 

 

as of Wednesday 20th afternoon, issue resolved and apparently the network team fixed the issue (at their end).

 

but a comedy none the less and thank you to those who have helped “locally”, because my summary to them was understood !  

 

throughout the week, I struggled with the level 1 team who I reckon were simply trying to resolve this themselves for the sake of their KPIs, when clearly it wasn’t something they were ever going to be able to solve. I was pretty patient with them over Saturday and Sunday.

 

  • was really hard to get case numbers, I think the 3rd person I spoke to decided to finally email me these on Tuesday (after initially on Saturday logging two seperate cases with two seperate phone calls taking over 40mins each regarding each account (everyone else in level 1 said they would text and email it). (I tried logging both cases at once but soon got the hint that was gonna be too hard).
  • One Tuesday, I found they were more fixated on my minor unlrelated to the actually  issue, (I forgot my pin, but thought I overcame that with the questions and SMS they sent me), and at one point they wanted to “troubleshoot my mobile phone and connection” (because I said I’m not not receiving said SMS containing case numbers from them…even though one person kept telling me they sent these multiple times as well as email…..).
  • a couple nights ago, I received an email telling me they will send me new routers to help diagnose (I questioned this….I mean…ok a couple free ultrahubs but hey I’m honest….my router clearly wasn’t the issue and even early on at least one person acknowledged that (apparently level 2 team). I sure hope these don’t turn up because some muppet somewhere will then go change the serial numbers on file for my current ones in use). I never got a reply to my email back to them either.
  • Early on, I discovered the call diversion wasn’t put in place for my mums house….she is in her 70s so was getting upset by the day with feeling isolated.  (A kind local man sorted that yesterday but then at the same time, the issue was fixed but someone up the chain). He was just as happy as we were….you could hear the joy in his voice that we finally achieved an outcome. (This is after he kindly told me we were probably going to be pushing it for a resolution before Christmas break).

 

 

It was the most bizzare week. It felt like it was training week for the newbies at level 1.

 

these such newbies simply lacked thinking skills….they were heavily reliant on guides and process check lists from what I heard (yeh they were thinking out loud and you could almost hear them trying to follow whatever process that was in front of them). They simply just didn’t understand I had the same issue at two different locations occurring at the same time on two seperate accounts.

 

anyhow,  inbound calls back working….. I now can ditch my landline given we’ve just educated my mum to change her habits on calling us and use WhatsApp or just dial directly from her mobile phone.  So at least we have that, but I won’t get back my 2-3 hours donated to One NZ customer service.

 

(obviously, my mum is not ready to let go of the fixed line at her house just yet and that’s how her generation roll).
