Desperate for alternative contact number.

[poet]

Hi,

They sent the chuckle brothers round to put my neighbours broadband in, and they cut through my phone line.
After 10 calls to India (no lie) I have got nowhere, and have been waiting 3 weeks with no phone.

I can't call 152 obviously, and the 0845 454 1111 number puts me through to an English-limited lying sack of .... (justified, I have been promised 8 calls back, and never received one).

Has anyone got any phone number that will get me through to ANYONE in England that speaks my language?

Please, I am desperate here.

(and I NEVER would have believed NTL could have gotten worse, well done Branson you ..... (insert favourite invective).

Thanks guys.

From experience, I highly suggest that you raise a complaint through http://www.ispa.org.uk/complaints/page_40.html your submittion will be dealt with by a senior person in UK who might be able to help.

Good luck

Thanks very much for this info, Digi tel. Is there a similar newsgroup arrangement for other services i.e. TV? I've had a problem with TV since initial install over 3 weeks ago but after lots of calls & chasing up I'm still no nearer to getting it sorted.

Yes there are numerous others including TV support.

Yesterday I posted details of a problem I have with my CM and 11 minutes later the support team posted back asking which day and at what time would I like the tech. to come round! Most impressive.

The team is based in Liverpool and is mostly staffed by 2nd line support staff.

endless tcp ip disconnections, failing on authorisation.
Setup is right, and using my main email and password, and tried all combos.

Wouldnt mind but finally got through to an english person, and had an engineer attend today, hes taped up 2 wires, left the box in a mangled state and the phone still doesnt work.

"Oh, I apologise..... Oh I understand ......"
heard it a million times Saboo so save it....

And if I have to listen to that goddam irritating southern mash head bird on the menus
"There's just ONE thing to try if your phone isnt working ...."
again, then I may have to start killing Virgin Employees.

2 and a half weeks with no phone.

Next place, Im with BT, end of.
