NTL. Lost broadband connection, rang NTL. After hanging on for ages spoke to a guy in India who asked me to check everything that I had already checked. Told me that an engineer would have to be booked,but could not get one to me until Monday between 8 and 12! ie. 5 days later!
Took Monday off work, No -one turned up, Rang up again and spoke to a guy in India, then a guy in Wales.
Everyone came out with NTL's favourite word "sorry". Would re-book for Wednesday. Asked to speak to a manager. "Will get one to call you back sir!" Guess what no-one called back.
Engineer came and problem was sorted on Wednesday. Only took 6 days! Super service!
