TVs are freezing and pausing. Multiple TVs and intermittent problems.

I have another outstanding issue and I've inquired twice as to the outcome.  One of your team wrote back and asked for a good number and time to call.  I provided that but that time has come and gone.  

 

Disappointed with performance.

The TVs intermittently freeze or pixilate, often during a sporting event.  It takes too, too long to call or, if we do call, to wait in the queue.  Chat can be the same way.  Often, the suggestion is to reboot which becomes a problem if watching a sporting event.  It's also a problem if we've already done that.  The solution then is to send out a tech.  

 

The last tech was a no-show and we had to call and reschedule.  We also cannot tolerate the 4 hour window in which we have to be on call.  In the past, the tech called early.  I had been emphatic on the chat line not to call my wife early as she has responsibilities at a school and could not leave.  The Chat CSR said it was noted.  

 

When the tech called early, my wife said she could not leave school but could be available after 4:00.  The tech simply reported that we were not available.  We had to then reschedule and be available for another 4 hour window.  It's sort of a circular thing.  And it's frustrating.

As follow up, please don't ask for good times to call and then not call.  That simply adds insult to injury.  You're a huge company.  While I like this product, your hugeness is also your handicap.

We ask for the best time you can be reached, not just by phone. They might be reaching out via email or private messages on the Forums. Check for any messages or email from our specialists. Also, when did you send it? It might take up to 3 business day for a reply.

 

Thanks,

Dmitriy

They asked for my phone number and best times to call. I gave them both. If it is going to be a couple of days, the note should probably say that.

At any rate, it had been 5 days or so with no word. And that was after waiting about a week with no follow-up. Thus, my comments. If a customer is irritated, these delays exacerbate the problem.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem for really big B2C companies.

I have still never heard from AT&T after all of this.  We had the no-shows and then a little follow up to that.  They then asked for good times to call and a good number to call which I gave them.  A while later, someone did call.  The area code was Texas.  The fellow left a phone number to call but it was some sort of number that asked for my telephone number and passcode and then provided me with automatic hint and suggestion prompts.

 

I've no idea what is going on but AT&T is just baffling to me.  The customer service is a struggle for the company, I know.  What is the consumer to do?

The problem still exists. I've found that there is no accountability anywhere within the service delivery process. If there is no response, if there are no shows, etc. No problem, at least not for AT&T. It's the same thing day in an day out - lack of accountability and then there are those times where integrity is lacking. That is a shame for a company like AT&T. The A used to mean "American."

I'd suggest PM'ing Customer Care again.  And let us know in this thread that you've PM'ed them and what (if any) treatment you get from them.  There are Community Managers that read through these forums and will note that you're not getting helped and will apply heat.  But if you go away for several months without posting, then we don't know you need help still; we assume that you've been contacted out of band (by phone, by e-mail) and you've gotten helped.

Please, let us know either way.
