To all ISP provider reps

Having experienced it my self and reading it here one of the biggest causes of anger when dealing with off shore halp centres is the need to repeat the self help script every time you call about a continuing problem.

I have had similar occasions with both BT and Sky and it drives me to distraction on the last BT occasion I was asked to perform these checks 4 times how many times do you need to plug into the test socket and reboot the router etc.

I understand doing it once, although when BT tried to get my Mother to do she did not understand any of it, but you could simply annotate the call and change the script to move on to the next step. This would reduce customer irritation by a huge amount.

    Easy cure, don't use BT or Sky, use a decent provider with a good service track record and a UK based technical support.
