Dealing with bad connection

Customer support: Good afternoon, this is Sarah with SpeedNet. How can I help you today?
Customer: Hi, I would like to make a complaint regarding my internet service.
Customer service: I’m really sorry to hear that. What has been the problem?
Customer: My internet connection hasn’t worked properly. It’s been repeatedly dropping-
out. Once it’s connected, the speeds are really slow.
Customer service: Please allow me to check to see if there’s any issue with the network in
your area. May I know your client ID?
Customer: Yes, it’s 8976112.
Customer service: Thank you. Our system shows that there’s a network issue in your area,
and we’ve been currently fixing it. The approximate repair time would be 12 to 24 hours.
Customer: Are you kidding me? Why does it take that long?
Customer service: I’m sorry, I understand how frustrating that would be. The issue appears
to be a big one, so it needs a longer time to fix it.
Customer: What do I do then?
Customer service: I’m afraid the best you could do is to wait. We’re trying our best to make it
back to normal. We would notify you via email once the issue is resolved.
Customer: All right, then.
Customer service: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Customer: No, thanks.
Customer service: My apologies once again for the inconvenience. Thank you for your call.
