They claimed to be the number one broadband provider for the nation but they forgot to mention that they also have the worst customer service for a broadband provider.
A super large bandwidth, unlimited downloads, super low latency, aaah that's a dream come true for the internet users in our country. Wait until you bump into a disruption or connection problem, then you'll know what I'm talking about!
Let me share my experience on TM's Unifi customer service.
Day 1
On the evening of August 3rd 2011, suddenly I can't connect to the internet. I waited a few hours cause it might be a busy line. A few hours of waiting didn't solve the problem, so I called the Unifi customer service hotline on the night. It took about 20 minutes to reach them! Previously I looked into my Celcom phone bill and the cost of calling TM's Unifi hotline was about RM3 per 10 minutes. 20 minutes was the time I had to wait and another 10 minutes for the person to do a pre-school interview on me. That's RM9 donation to TM. After I've spoken to the customer service, she said that my case will be escalated to the 2nd level and said that they will call me soon.
Day 2
I just can't stand without an internet connection and on the afternoon I called TM again (another 20 minutes I have to wait for the call ) and asked what is the current status and why did nobody from TM called me? The customer service replied that she will ask the 2nd level to call me immediately. Until the evening, nobody called me. At around 6:30PM, I called the customer service again and for the umpteenth time, around 20 minutes I had to wait, I asked again why the hell did no one from TM called me?! I even asked why the heck every time I call, I have to wait around 20 minutes?! The person answered calmly "We don't have enough staff".
What the fark? The number one broadband provider for the nation but they don't have enough staff? Who the fark runs and manages TM?!
"Miss, if an internet connection is down, is that considered a high priority issue?"
"Yes sir"
"Then, why the heck are you guys farkin slow?!"
Damn I felt guilty for raising my voice to the customer service. She probably knows nothing and I have to admit that it was not her fault. She was just taking calls. OK Mr-temper, next time please control your emotion and just be calm. I was getting fed-up to call them as it will eat my money when waiting for them to answer. Hence, on the night, I went to a cybercafe and e-mailed to them and asked what's the status.
Day 3
Nobody from TM called me. Patience is a virtue bro, just be patient. Hmmppsshh. I went to cybercafe and checked my e-mail but nobody from TM answered my mail. I e-mailed them again and asked for updates.
Day 4
Nobody from TM called me. They replied my mail though and said they are looking into it.
Day 5
I called them on the morning for the umpteenth time and asked the status and as usual 'bla bla bla will call bla bla'. I can't stand anymore and I made a report to SKMM on their website. After I got a report number from SKMM, I forwarded the report to TM.
Day 6
TM called me early in the morning and told me that they will send a technician tomorrow as the case is considered urgent. Wow. You got scolded by SKMM and now you talkin?
Day 7
The technician came and settled the issue. He told me that someone messed with the jumper connection to my apartment at the phone room. Definitely it was someone from TM who messed it up as only TM personnel can enter the room.
6 days of downtime! Well done TM. Now I wanna claim my rebate as it was clearly their fault and their super slow response time.
TM customer service, the number one untrustworthy and the suckest customer service for a broadband provider and also for a Government-Linked-Company.
