Unacceptable wait times, very poor customer service

ktaylorrr
I've been here awhile
Called Rogers service and products on Tuesday December 12 2023, waited just over an hour to finally get a representative on the line. When I explained to the rep that my promotional package had just expired and I was just wanting to keep the exact same package just lower my bill, he explained that my old package is no longer available. Fine, I don't need the exact same package, just something comparable with all the same channels and I gave him a price point I wanted to stay within. After an hour of this back and forth I was told he could give me all the channels I was asking for and the price came in the range I was comfortable with. Fast forward to the date the package comes into effect and I am no longer receiving Crave, HBO, NFL Network, Nat Geo wild, Spark etc
Saturday December 16 2023 9:00 p.m I realize these channels are not available to me, I call the service and products department, 2 hours on hold before the call is dropped. Call tech support, only for them to tell me they can't help and the service and products department closes early on the weekends. ???? Then why leave me in the waiting que knowing full well my call won't be answered,,, unbelievable the lack of consideration for your customers. It was not so long ago your company dropped the ball with a nation wide outage and shortly after your company CEO publicly apologized for the inconvenience that was caused and made a very public promise that your company will fully commit to doing a much better job when it comes to your customers needs,,,, well in my personal opinion, the customer service wait times , the lack of customer service, knowledge and competence is at an all time low and your promise to do better has fallen way short of what a company of your stature should strive for. "Do MUCH better Rogers"

Hi @Quith,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

It's our busiest time of the year. I am not trying to minimize the frustration of wait times, but we really are trying to get to all the customers on all the platforms as quickly as we can. Have you tried to contact us via social media? While those platforms might be busy too, you can send us a message to stay in the queue and you are free to go about your day. One of my colleagues would message you as soon as it's your turn. It saves you the hassle of waiting by the phone!

I'm sorry, but "busiest time of the year" doesn't cut it. You obviously know this is going to be your busiest time of the year yet choose not to sufficiently manage your level of staff. My next issue isn't just wait times, it's customer representatives that are either not efficiently trained and or lack of accountability by placing my calls back in the queue after asking to speak with a supervisor/manager that is capable of assisting me with issues such as my most recent dealing of changing my plan through an email offer only to find out the email offer is apparently non existent and only after accepting the change of plan offer do I find out the discount that was stated in the email was not actually applied to my new plan. So I call the mobile department, explain this to your agent, he insists there is no discounts on plans, only applied to hardware and nothing on my account shows an eligible discount. Well the email I received, clearly stated the discount and actually sent me to My Roger's account where the new plan change went through, only without the discount applied. It is at this point I ask to speak with a supervisor/manager, only to be placed back in the queue where my call went unanswered after waiting another hour and half. If your live agents on the phone couldn't help me today, how exactly is messaging your social media platforms going to help,,, ah instead of 1or 2 hours on the phone, lets spread the messaging back and fourth over a couple of days, then eventually just end up speaking with a live agent in the end regardless. Total lack of accountability and no one seems to care how customers are being treated.
