Internet outage -refund

Still having some problems with PCCW netvigators, and not really happy how PCCW denying the fact that their service is not 100% up. I have requested for a refund of the internet service, for the days which service was not working. Call 1833833, customer service
1 then HKID then 4.

Do you seriously believe you will get a refund / compensation????
I doubt it.... we are talking about an earthquake here.

And how much of your time did you waste to get HK$25 refunded?

Oh really? That's quite amazing... I was expecting them to use Hong Kong's favourite phrase: "Sorry, Sir, can not...!"

It's not worth very much of even a lowly paid customer service agent's time to argue about HK$25...

That is amazing since Item 7 of their Terms and Conditions of Service "expressly dislcaims any responsibility for loss/interruption of service due to events or circumstances beyond their reasonable control"....

It's not amazing - the amount of money involved is so trivial that it isn't worth arguing about - it probably costs HK$200/hr or so to employ a CSR (total cost to employ including overheads, not salary) so it doesn't make sense for them to spend more than a few minutes debating the point.

Even cheaper to announce via their voicemail that "no refunds will be given as per the 'fine print'..." and leave it at that, but hey...if they're feeling a tiny bit generous..ok by me...

around 10 minutes on the phone, I dont think it how much i get back. but if 1000 customer gets the refund, PCCW should at least keep a service level for their network.
