A year ago, a dissatisfied public member also penned a letter to the Communication Authority (CA) asking that action be taken against Zuku for offering poor internet services.
In the letter, he asked CA to have providers rate their services themselves, giving customers potential downtimes as percentages and providing customers with information about upcoming maintenance to avoid any inconveniences.
Other requests made to the company include; providing customers with proper compensation for any downtimes that surpass the percentages given in the agreement, during any unexpected downtimes, providing information on the cause, the expected timelines and any backup options during that period.
The civilian also asked that Zuku be ordered to provide easily reachable care services and provide a proper breakdown at the end of each billing cycle on uptimes and downtimes and potential compensation in terms of extra hours, cash refunds etc.
