Re: Versatel / Tele2 Klachten

Sorry for the English (expat learning Dutch still).
I have 5 months now not being able to properly watch TV or proper internet speed (see here if you want to see how we have to watch TV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezBy0GP1ijQ) basically we get high pitched squeaks every few seconds and the screen freezes. They say I don't have enough bandwidth, and do an excellent job telling me what the problem is, but not fixing it.
They sent KPN once and they said everything is ok. I get no follow up calls from them and have to call them again (all this at 10 cents per minute). They promise to send a cable and no cable, so I buy my own, and still the problem. I have to call them again. They sent KPN again, KPN refused as they said they have already been once. Finally Tele2 convince KPN and they check, big surprise, no problem. I ring them again and they want to send KPN again!! They finally allowed me out of my contract once I threatened to see my lawyer. They say to re-imburse me, yet they do it for 76 euros. The bill for internet and TV over the 4 months is 229 euros. I am told not to look at the factuur for this (huh? where do I look then for what I pay) and say its right. Therefore I am to assume that I pay 139 euros over 4 months just for telephony (this is the difference and I am not being re-imbursed for telephone as it has worked). I am unable to reply to the email address, and sit on the phone for 40 minutes (spending yet more of my money). Finally after being transferred 4 times, the lady says she has to forward this to the finance department and they will look into it (money is on them not contacting me back as usual). This after arguing with here for 10 minutes about the amount. Only when I pointed out that 139 euros over 4 months for just telephony is not right, did she admit that maybe a mistake was made.
I feel I have paid about 50 euros over the months (10 cents per minute to call, with Ziggo its free) to chase them to fix the problem, I am not even asking for this money back, I just want the amount I have paid for services not properly received. If I go to the Albert Heijn and buy something that is no good, I am able to bring it back for a refund, yet here this is not the case. Yet I am relieved that I can finally leave, go to a real TV provider and watch TV again.
Really, do not choose Tele2, I know Ziggo and UPC is also bad, but this has been by far the most horrible experience I have ever had with a service provider. Maybe if they used people instead of Sheep to run the company, they might be able to remember that treating the customers right is the only solution. Good example is that I can't speak complicated Dutch, yet when I try to switch to english with them, they say "ik heb geen zin in engles te praten" how rude! I mean if they said I dont speak english well, sorry can we keep to Dutch. I could understand that, but Geen Zin!?!
Oh and Tele2, if you are reading, I have the home number of the person who stuffed up my re-imbursement amount (gotta love the internet). As I am not able to get in contact with her via Tele2 (call forwarded to no where), can reply to the email ([email protected]) and have no confidence at all that the "new" person I spoke to today will call me back with a proper solution, I will start calling this person at home for updates to the situation (rather to her mobile but that is not listed). I mean its not like we are professional or anything right. I will also start listing the personal number of each and every Tele2 worker I find, on the internet so that your "customers (lol)" can call them direct to complain. waiting till the end of the week.
This just has to stop and you cannot treat us like sheep, regardless of how much you wish to.
