    Tiscali for me, I hoep no-one loses thier job but that said I hope they get taken over by a company that understands the telecoms business, they simply do not.

    The most atrocious level of customer service I have ever come across.

    I would not want to see anyone go bust, the consequences are devastating especially for those close to retirement, single parents and those with children.

    I think what the credit crunch will do is make retailers and businesses take a long hard look at how they operate and treat customers. It is inevitable the ones that do survive will be those with good strategies in place across the board (financial, marketing & HR functions etc), value customers and treat them with respect. As on another thread the supermarkets are thriving, and that is not just because they produce cheap products, its the whole package that counts, and they all offer customer loyalty schemes and good services.
