@hypervolt @hypervolt, what's the progress on this? "Once we complete the release, the aim for team Hypervolt is to continue development and bring tariff to the v2 platform, making it available for all of our customers by end of the year!" - unloved v2 customer

@OctopusEnergy Hi, thanks for replying, Just after I tweeted I received a call from someone advising they are on it and aim to get it all resolved asap

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@OctopusEnergy What is going on...

I have been trying to close a business account since July and am going around in circles; I have sent multiple emails, made a few phone calls and made two complaints with no end in sight. 😭

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@VirginAtlantic The webchat is useless for situations like this, I already called today, was told that my query wil be escalated, was informed this could take up to 5 days, on top of an already communicated maximum 14 days deadline which has passed. I raised the initial refund over a month ago.

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@VirginAtlantic - your refund process is awful, have been waiting over a month for a refund on a Flexi ticket, have phoned multiple times, and am still waiting for this to be processed. It shouldn't be this hard.

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@SlackHQ @goofyb00ts Just had this update, please bring this feature back ASAP!

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@virginmedia Sure, I am free now

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@virginmedia What is the best way to complain about one of your drivers reversing into my fence and driving off without letting me know?

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@virginmedia Sure, it was yesterday at 12:35 in Hindley, they did an install at my neighbours house. I do have more information which I am happy to share in a DM

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@chargedev are you struggling with an influx of queries? I was told I would get a follow-up call last week but no contact, no response to email and your phone number just rings and rings 🤷‍♂️

[Jonathan Smart @jonsmart]

1/15 Service Mesh: A bit of a thread.
I've seen a few posts recently questioning the value of tools like @IstioMesh and @LinkedIn, a bunch of people saying they are yet to see a good business use case. So I figured I'd share a little bit about what it looks like at AutoTrader

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

Trying to cancel @virginmedia, massive savings for new customers. No reward for customer loyalty. Cant do this online, longest call system tree in history and gave up after 30 mins. Covid cant be used as an excuse for strained support you have had months to add more people

[Karl 🪫 @karlstoney]

Extreme left or extreme right, it doesn’t matter - police get attacked. Shameful really. I feel sorry for those people stuck in the middle trying to keep the peace.

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

@SlackHQ Only being able to manually delete a channel is very frustrating, any plans on adding API functionality to enable automation?

[Dave Whyte @DaveWhyte_DW]

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
