.@gobrightspeed talked my 82 yo mom into a service she didn’t need. She’s been without phone-internet for 3 days. When I asked chat support in the app what time they will be here it says no one has to be here — despite another section of the app saying someone has to be here.

Hey @gobrightspeed, you talked my 82-year-old mother into a service she doesn’t need, then turned off her phone and internet. And when I called to have it all restored you hung up on me.

Hi @BrightspeedHelp @gobrightspeed. You sent my elderly mom an appointment confirmation. I want to suggest you update the text links in your email. I looked for confirm, reschedule, and resolved buttons in the email, then I realized the words are the links.

You might change these to: Click here to CONFIRM your appointment. Click here to RESCHEDULE. Click here if the issue has been RESOLVED. You might also add a space between each sentence.
