Just wondering....

Was on the phone for over an hour.

Accidentally hung up [sigh]. So have gone to the back of the queue.

On 15th minute of my "5 minute queue/wait time".

happens to everyone dude.
My latest saga is that ive been waiting almost 2 weeks to a email I have sent them. I got the auto reply a day after sending….. waiting….waiting….waiting…..

ITs perhaps a reason why they are in the RED.

Vodafone are quite a large isp, Queues are somewhat expected.

I had an interesting experience today, without naming as to not derail tooo much.. but not VF unfortunately.

Thursday afternoon, school holidays, i expected things would likely be reasonably busy. The Queues were actually remarkably low, i was very pleasantly surprised to see that and impressed.

Hopefully Vodafone can get their Queue right down, but if your calling at peak... your pretty much going to be guaranteed a Queue some days..

Revenue is up it's what happens when a business buys another business and TCL was not a small purchase

@zaptor what was your call / query about?

Same thing as yesterday. Broadband outage.

Finally got through. All I wanted was to log a ticket for the 2nd instance. I didn't expect the guy to fix it, or even make a call out. I just wanted a record for future occurrences.
Was basically told a single person didn't warrant a new ticket, that I wasn't important enough basically, then the guy hung up on me.

Oh well...

@zaptor when you say broadband outage do you mean a quick outage or a ongoing outage and are you on the cable network (HFC) / xDSL / fibre?

ild assume by what the OP said before, this would be the previous issue.

@zaptor the cable (HFC) network is going thru a major upgrade at the moment that is due to be completed at the end of October / early November

This is to offer faster speeds and more capacity

Every time a outage happens just note down the time and date and once you have a few examples call it thru and log it in one job no need to call each short outage but I suspect these will stop by the end of the month

Now that's an answer I can live with.

Thanks johnr.

PS: You should train the CSRs...
