Still out of action.

This is crazy stuff & the inability to rectify after over 24 hours is very hard to understand

Tesco Mobile: Paul

Hi All,

The team have been working on this overnight and are closing on a resolution. Many apologies for the inconvenience. Will update as soon as there is more info.

Why didnt I see this post earlier, just purchased a day pass on tesco mobile and its unusable. Put the 10.1.11.19 in and it worked but takes an age to even load a page .

I'm now going into day 4 with no data....I cannot believe it is going on so long with no fix and I cannot believe that Tesco have made no contact with their customers to advise on the situation and to apologise. I have been generally very happy with the Tesco package but am having serious doubts at this stage.

whowantstwoknow

ditto on the above,

Contacted customer service wrt the above. Tesco can send out sms to remind about topups but nothing for this? I asked with the inconvenience could tesco atleast extend the data expiration date to compensate, the reply was...

"computer says no.."

come on think outside the box on this and dont just give us the T&C line. We are PAYING for a service and we're not getting it. sort it out and accommodate your customer, please

W.

PS we shouldnt have to ask to get some form of compensation?

Tesco Mobile: Paul

Hi W

There will be something organised but it will be done for all affected customers early next week not by calling care 1 by 1. This situation has been developing since yesterday so most of the focus is on resolution. Be assured that we take customer satisfaction very seriously so we will review and learn from this issue and we will be in touch with all those affected next week.

Paul

Hi Paul,

That is great news (for us all to hear). But what else (except for here!!) was there for us to do but call customer care on a 1 to 1 basis? I'm not trying to be critical here but more providing constructive feedback as a customer.

If I got that simple response today, I would have been more that satisfied. It shows Tesco are taking this issue serious and are being proactive. But all I (we?) get is "its in Tesco T&Cs that no form of compensation is possible etc."

Anyhow the main thing is Tesco are aware of the issue and its impact on customers and that you aim to review your customer communication procedures etc.

Thanks
W

I think it's worth mentioning that I don't know of any other network rep that will come on here after 11 on a Saturday night to update us on the situation.

Have entered the proxy settings. getting very slow connection in my browser but nothing from my twitter app.

Anybody experiencing similar issue?

Yeah, I think that proxy will only allow browser traffic, so you'll need to use Twitter.com.

Tesco Mobile: Paul

I do appreciate the feedback. Care only got the message yesterday that we are going to provide something for customers in apology as they were waiting for direction from management.

Again I can't apologise enough for this issue. It's going on way longer than expected as the symptoms were finally narrowed down yesterday round 2pm. We had hoped to have resolution last night but the root cause hasn't been identified and ad a result the engineers are having to trawl through many network nodes to identify what is causing the problem.

There will be a text to all bundle users tomorrow or Tue depending on numbers of customers affected.

Please feel free to PM me if you have any direct concerns you would like clarification on.

Regards
Paul

It shouldn't matter Emo. Proxy is bypassed anyway.
