Difficult to connect with Fido support

[cristians]

My experience trying to connect with anybody live at Fido is that it is very difficult to impossible. 

Here is why:

1) Live Chat: DOES NOT WORK

2) ASKJACK: if I ask this bot to connect me with a live agent, it puts me on hold indefinitely.

3) Calling Fido directly: need to wait a long time, sometimes over an hour. Waiting an hour on hold is not acceptable.

4) I am receiving emails to provide feedback: however, the link provided to leave feedback is not working.

As one can see, it is very difficult to connect with anybody at Fido. 

I had 2 lines with Fido for over 15 years, but as a result of this situation, I already moved one line to another provider that can be connected, and I am planning to move the second line now.

The LiveChat button does not work. I click on it and nothing happens.

AskJack is saying "Your chat is being transferred to a Live Chat agent. Thanks for your patience." and I wait hours and I am not connected with a live agent.

Yes, you may always pick up in terms of calling, but I may not always have 1 hour or longer to wait. I find it disrespectful to leave somebody waiting so long. 

I suggest somebody contact me directly, as it is impossible to connect live at Fido. If I can't connect with Fido over the next few days, I will just move to another provider.

Regarding the feedback emails I receive, when I click on them to leave feedback, the link is broken and I cannot leave any feedback.

Hello Cristians,

  I understand it can be frustrating to have to wait to speak with customer service. However, this is the community forum and not intended as a venue for customer services. You would really need to contact customer service for assistance. In addition, they can also be contacted via Live Chat, Facebook, or Twitter. Those methods can be accessed via the contact page posted above.

Hope this helps 😀

Cheers
