Total Home Wi-Fi Booster add on for £8pm

[Peterjl2]

I recently signed up to a new 24m contract but because we have wifi signal strength problems, I add the Total Home Wi-Fi Booster add on for £8pm, which claimed to use wifi repeaters like eero mesh to get wifi signals all around your house. 

It is now 3 weeks on and I have yet to receive the wifi mesh boosters. I contacted the chat line and they did not even have them on order. I spent 40 minutes talking to 4 separate staff who seem to be unable to sort a simple problem and eventually was passed through the the Better Value Department (sounds ominously like customers complaints). Unfortunately, by this time I had to go out so I cut the conversation short by asking them to send me the wifi repeaters and email me when this had been done. 

4 days later and still no confirmation or tracking order reference.

Has anyone else had the same problem and how did you get around it?

I’ve had exactly the same experience and have now been waiting over 2 months for my wifi boosters. I get passed around every time I go on Chat. Please let me know how you solve the problem !

I have gained access to your account an update regarding your equipment order.

Your equipment is currently in FULFILMENT_REQUESTED status. This means that we have received your order, and it is now in the process of being prepared for shipment. It should be delivered within the next 2-3 working days.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with us. I sincerely apologize for the frustration you've encountered while trying to resolve your issue regarding the Wi-Fi repeaters. 
 

I appreciate you taking the time to download the chat script and provide detailed feedback. It’s clear that the process has not met your expectations, and I want to assure you that we are committed to improving our service.
 

Regarding the confirmation email and tracking number for your Wi-Fi repeaters, I will access your account and check if the order has been placed.

Hi Mandisa, yes I tried again to resolve this through the chat helpline which is a very frustrating process. I downloaded the chat script to show how many people I had to deal with before Mark in Billing explained that when I renewed the contract they should have put through an order for the wifi repeaters but this obviously did not happen.

I am however still waiting for a confirmation email with a tracking number so that I know that these repeaters are on their way.

For the record, after chatting to Sara the automated first contact, I was then passed around on 2 separate occasions to:-

Order management

Technical support

Customer service & billing

Each chat took about 40 minutes and in both cases I had to cut the chat short because I needed to do other things. How long the chat would have been to get to the end is possibly over 1 hour, to resolve a fairly simple problem. Does this sound reasonable to you?

[Mandisa-TT]
