Spark After sales service

Steve from Orewa

Any one else had poor outcomes with Spark when there is a problem?
Ive been assisting me elderly neighbour, she has a landline outage and Ive found that there is no such thing as a speedy resolution.

Reality is that despite spending 2 hrs 10 mins to the Phillipines call centre speaking to someone that was difficult to understand, and also doing reboot and other tests on the Spark supplied modem and phones ( both new approx 6 months ago) the outcome is that the landline is still not working..
My complaint is not with the call centre.. its the process they are forced to go through to try and identlfy the fault,.. despite my telling them that the fault appears to be with the modem..
The simple solution would be to send another modem...
Spark are so far removed from being a customer service focused company the the WILL NOT SEND A TECHNICIAN to my neighbours place.
Im lead to believe that the dont give a stuff

Just shows that rebranding a Company never fixes the underlying issues
Im so please that I dont have a landline and use 2 Degrees for mobile
