I am fuming at CS

On Monday night, our service went down, we checked the website and found that VM had trouble with BB, and that it would be fixed by Tuesday.

Despite phone calls to CS at VM, this was still not fixed.

We had no BB, then today we gave up and called CS, and got put through to India, and they did not have a clue on how to repair the fault.
First call lasted an hour, and they promised to call back - they never did.

Second call, again to India, they took over our computer. Still couldn't repair the fault and said they would call us back - never did.

Third call, again lasted 45 minutes. This time they repaired the fault - and said that it was a technical fault on their part.

Why can't VM get there act together and find people that know what they are doing. Been without BB for several days. And it was fixed by an engineer who talked my wife how to repair the fault.

All it was, VM put the wrong password that we have had for years. In the wrong section.

My wife followed the direction son VM OWN fault finder, and it still wouldn't work.

Finally, this evening my wife spoke with someone, and he repaired the fault in 20 minutes.

Does anyone know of the email address of the CEO for VM. I have never come across poor CS in my life.

You are probably on their, let's wind this guy up list. They probably don't want you as a customer, hence they put you through to India as they don,t know what they are doing. Am surprised that you, being the perfect employee/individual, are not a self made millionaire by now but hey maybe those massive chips on your shoulders got in the way.

Play nicely, boys and girls - Arthur has had a bad experience with VM, and is entitled to complain if he wishes.

Yes it was but we changed focus 10 years ago from being a site that attacked their failings to one that offered users more support and assistance when the company let them down.

I think it's still, there Maggie but some posters are rather extreme too many times and you end up thinking, here we go again.

The OP is one of those, personally I find him incredibly disrespectful to everyone and anyone, wether politicians, senior people at VM, employees at VM, employees at Sky and many more

Whilst not being perfect, I believe in common decency toward other human beings unless I come across someone like Arthur, therefore I won't help and support!
