Eircom ???????

macadam

Contacting Eircom has become such a challenge. On Friday I spent almost two hours trying to speak with a manager, after being hung up on and passed about from op to op, I eventually got talking to a manager who helped me with my problem.
My problem was an Eircom engineer cut my monitored Alarm cables which were connected to my phone but nothing to do with eircom. 
Who compensates me for my expense to my Alarm company, they were here for 3 hours costing me €180, then the phone, broadband went they had to come back at 7pm to redo the whole procedure, havent received the cost of this yet, so eircom has cost me €180 so far , what are my options to claiming this back.

Furthermore an engineer rang me yesterday morning saying he would call, in the afternoon  I got a call from a senior manager who said the engineer called and looked over everything, there was no one home so how could he check everything??

Hi macadam

Do you have an eircom account? If so please PM me the account number. Can you also clarify by PM if an eircom engineer physically came in to your premises and cut the line?

Thanks
Al

macadam

You want me to give you my account details here??? I have sent you PM's but got no Reply

A brief run down this past few days with Eircom, No call from the manager I spoke with on Friday and no email address from him either, the guy I spoke with Saturday who was also supposed to send me an email and ring me Monday,failed on both. 
Today after further problems I spent 1 full hour on the phone with a guy called Aaron who was  fine to deal with but the managers just do not want to talk, the customer service with Eircom is the worst service I have ever encountered anywhere or with any company, it is totally non existent, same with you guys here, no customer service at all... 
So after my 1hr phone call with Aaron who confirmed to me 3 times that a Manager would definitely ring me within the hour, Im still waiting on that call, he/she was supposed to ring meat 18.54 at this stage only 30mins late. Again this highlights that when an agent speaks to a manager its the manager whos at fault, the guy Aaron left his area twice to confirm this he also supposedly emailed a reminder to the manager.. What a useless shower, surely someone needs to shake up this so call Company.

Hi macadam
Al has sent this to the section you mention above, I have chased again this morning and will chase again for update on this.
Apologies for delay, I understand this has to be frustrating, as issue was due to tech visit.
I will be back as soon as I have update.
Tony

Still waiting, do you guys really think you're providing me with a service? Because Im paying for something, I dont know exactly what it is but Im not getting any value for money. Has anyone else on here a solution....

Don't be too upset. I'm about to pass th biblicle 40 days without a phone line. Did manage to receive a credit but only after I spent an hour trying to cancel my broadband. I felt very special being put through to the loyalty team. Even last week I had from high authority that my line would be repaired by Tuesday this week.
Not to worry 4g is going live in 3 weeks in my area.
Expect my call.

macadam

Still waiting on that update, they wont be as slow at sending the bill for the service that clearly does not exist ......
I must say one thing about Eircom, they re fairly prompt at sending out the bill notifications mine came in this evening at 20.19pm, I presume Tony and the crew dont have anything to do with this end of it. It always comes on time you see !!!

If your not under a new contract switch providers. Pick a tier one company though because if you think eircoms reps are bad you won't be able handle how tier two companies operate. They basically rent off eircom and every problem still goes through eircom wholesale but now with an added middleman.

Vodafone Ireland would be my suggestion. They will happily take a new customer and I bet are a fraction cheaper too. They were at least when I worked in the industry a few years back

There is a terms of service part on your contract. If the service being paid for is not being received its grounds to cancel without penalty.

That 3 week thing is just sales talk friend. It won't go live until the exchange is updated. Which may be sheduled soon but the reason they get sheduled is so companies can put feet on the street and pre sign people.

I sold broadband to half a rural town promising it would be live in a few weeks, it took 60 weeks! Just a heads up, until your using it don't count on it

Lucidlife ,

I was with VF before coming back they are actually worse to deal with than this shower, and its the same engineers that come out with the same smug grin on their face..

Thanks for that. I'm using 4g on my mobile . So it must be updated and in test mode. I work from home or at least did until eircom failed to repair or attempt to repair my line. So thankfully a fortnight or so ago I picked up a 4g signal. It's costing as I don't have a bundled contract on my phone for data but it keeps me in a job.

I can't do anything with eircom . I have tried. 1901, loyalty team, boards. I got the best response n social media. Is there any point going to local independants or councils, as I fear this might be a local issue with eircom dragging their extremely heavy heels. In mayo castlebar area.

macadam

I think its country wide Im on the east coast, its more a management issue similar to our hospitals where no one seems to be in control. Just a waste of a service really, you can see by the lack of replies here, even for shame sake they are kinda running out of excuses..

Ah well might as well cancel my eircom contract here as it might get missed if I were to phone in on 1901.
So sad to lbe treated this way. After 42 dAys there is no point continuing with this madness. A totAl disgrace. This company have made my working life to almost being made redundant.
Thank you crowd of clowns in eircom.

If you PM me with your landline or current ref I can chase this for you and ensure you are advised on status.
Your fault should not be closed unless issue resolved.

PmM hasnt arrived in y inbox, had two nice chats with Tony today, its seems that the different departments in eircom do not really communicate, I have a case ref no set up by a manager yet I always have to answer the same questions about my case, I just want this resolved, since the 8 of Feb I have spent over 4 1/2 hours on the phone trying to get through and talking bout the same thing over and over again....

Ok
Broadband returned fully today. Not sure why but I have my 6 mb again. It is such a pity that so much damage has been done in the mean time. I've lost 1 and a half months broadband, seriously effected my work and from eircom relations it has damaged any loyalty I've had with them for the past 15 years. I will move when the time is right for a better contract. Tony I shouldn't have to give my number just look up line faults for 09490 numbers from January. I'll be in it.

Hi homewardbound11

I am very sorry to hear of the negative impact this has had on you. It's good to hear that your broadband is back up and running however evidently overdue. Should you experience issues again please do let us know here right away and we will treat any further issues with urgency.

Thanks
Al

Almost 5 weeks now since I made a complaint and the problem is getting progressively worse, OK it did settle down fro about a week, but as i write this post I have no Broadband the phone wont work, Oh I bet im still paying for this so called "SERVICE", last week I had two managers from the local area in my house to see about the cut cables, they basically were saying I cut these myself leaving myself with a monitored alarm sys, that I paid to get installed, these guys are very hard work they tried twisting everything, I'd safely say it cost €300+ to send the two bucks out..
I have also emailed the manager who said he would sort this mess out, but not received a reply as of yet.

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EIRCOM RIP-OFF: a cautionary tale![/font]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I recently switched phone provider from EIRCOM to Vodafone on my work phone. In theory it should be a seamless switch from one to another, you needn't do anything, and you shouldn't be double charged.
But EIRCOM have a sharp practice stunt they pull.
My month's package of free calls, line etc was cancelled by them 3 weeks into my month, and here's the scam: they retrospectively cancelled the package back the 3 weeks, and then they so kindly screwed me by charging me the top rate for every single call made in those 3 weeks-€143 in calls to be precise!! Scammers!😀😀😀
Their unfriendly customer service say this is a legit rip-off, is their company policy and approved...... Comreg said Eircom are not allowed to rip people off with this scam, and have being cautioned before.....more hassle and grief to get my money back! ðŸ˜¡
So in conclusion: firstly don't go near EIRCOM, but if you are already caught with them, move your account on the first day of a new month's package! There, my rant is over, a weight is lifted.....!![/font]
