poor customer service

i reported a problem with my upgrade and decided to saty with my old deal. its been a month i have been calling them to ask to resolve the problem. every time i call they say someone will call me back in few hours but no one does. i cant believe huge company like NOS does this to its customers. now i think its time to change the service (heard MEO is far better then NOS) most importanly their customer service is atleat satisfactory. i also asked the person on the phone what is happing with me and requested to transfer the call to the manager. they never seem to help me.

Eu relatei um problema com o meu upgrade e decidi saty com o meu antigo negócio. tem sido um mês eu tenho chamado eles para pedir para resolver o problema. toda vez que eu ligo eles dizem que alguém vai me ligar de volta em poucas horas, mas ninguém liga. Eu não posso acreditar que uma grande empresa como a NOS faz isso para seus clientes. agora eu acho que é hora de mudar o serviço (ouvi MEO é muito melhor, em seguida, NOS) mais importanly seu serviço ao cliente é atleat satisfatório. Eu também perguntei à pessoa pelo telefone o que estava acontecendo comigo e pedi para transferir a ligação para o gerente. eles nunca parecem me ajudar.

    Forgot to say: NOS had no problem giving me 20meg when I first started the contract…!

    Actually, I don’t see why I should try to fix this myself. They should send out a technician!

    Maybe NOS don’t want to hire a technician on Pico Island because it costs them $$$!

    Amazing! This must be the lowest download speed available in 2020:

    0.93meg Download

     

    Yet the upload speed is 9.62meg… This means that the cell tower is receiving my signal just fine but is not returning it. That means NOS is throttling my service?!

    OK, “Forum”  has said that they will contact me so I am now waiting for their call or email.

     

    Meanwhile…. I am now subscribed to the 4G 100meg service.

    What speeds can I reasonably expect up and down?

    Fastest megs I got so far is 15 down, 11 up.

    Slowest was 0.7 down, 2.3 up

    Highly variable and nowhere near 100meg …!

    This is normal speeds for mobile internet. Just gotta check the router is in the best place.

    This is FIXED internet.

    If they label it 100meg speed then it should be over 50 at least,  certainly not be 0.01 of it.

    In the past I have had to switch it to 3G because it just used cut out totally on 4G with intermittent fast speeds.

    I have tried the router in numerous places while checking the diagnostic signal strengths (RSSI, RSRP, RSRQ).

    I now use an external aerial which provides an extra bar of signal on this old NOS Huawei E5172  router.

    If I knew where cell number 405 012 is, then I could align things.

    As it is I don’t even know if the 4G transceiver is on a Satellite or on earth.

    I already sent you this days ago!

    You are the third different person from NOS talking here.

    I will send it yet again  again….

    I never got any telefone call you promised on the mobile number I gave you days ago.

     

    Be aware that your ongoing delays are additive to my cancellation period of the new 100meg contract.

    So, I have sent you my details twice.

    How about you now send me the location of transceiver/ cell tower ID 405 012 so that I can align my router aerial?

    Of course, if you want to send an expensive engineer out, that’s fine with me.

    So… still no progress after over a week of waiting but I have been asked to keep waiting for a contact.

    Starting to look at a report to Anacom and the MEO satellite option...
