1183334 2011-03-04 01:08:00 Thought I'd use it for the first time...been nearly an hour waiting for an 'operator', mind you the queue has dropped from 2 people to one person.

And we thought TC was bad for service! :)

Come on Telecom, you can do it, or will I have to give up?

1183335 2011-03-04 01:50:00 Give up and call them. They answer the phone pretty quickly these days.

I've tried the live chat a few times, just to see if it actually works. Never had anyone answer.

1183336 2011-03-04 01:59:00 quite a few of their contact centre staff were based in chch so i'd hazard a guess that that's had some sort of impact on it.

to be fair tho they should really disable it if they can't deliver the service.

1183338 2011-03-04 02:26:00 Same here, I never knew they had any helpdesk staff in Chch at all? wratterus (105)
1183339 2011-03-04 02:30:00 It will be quicker to just pickup the phone, call them, swear into the phone and talk to a person. nedkelly (9059)

not 100% sure which teams are down their but they definitely have (had) some provisioning teams in chch.

edit: I also know that qualified Telecom customer service representitives from around the rest of NZ have been pulled in to cover for contact centre staff unable to work in chch.
