[Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Was this recorded message for real or just someone trying to get NTL a worse name than it has, Or then someone who has lost their job in the recent redundances getting their revenge?

This was taken from here

Re: Was this for real?
 

Wow, they have started telling the truth at last!

Re: Was this for real?
 

I can't believe anyone would think this was anything other than a really bad hackers joke..... :rolleyes: :dunce:

NTL CS - Truth will out
 

NTL customer support, the truth leaks out
Here

As a lot of us will know, thats just how it seems some times

Listen , Is that a witch hunt I can hear ....

Re: NTL CS - Truth will out
 

The Sun also said that NTL considered it the work of external hackers. Come on now, fess up.

How do you work that one out??? :confused: :rolleyes:

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

It's in el Reg too...http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/09...orded_message/

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

well what a cockup typical of ntl at the moment customers can not get through to customer service and when they do you get this in your face.

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Or given a medal?

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

I don't see what everyone is moaning about, if i rang a company and heard a message like that i would probably wet myself laughing!

Good on the person that did this :tu:

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Definitely raised a smile here :D :D :D

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

i remember the day when i was working at ntl and had to ring through to tech support for some reason, went through the IVR (phone system) and i heard a message where they were trying to put a message abt problems in a certain area and they kept messing it up...usually u then press a button and it erases it and you start again but fr this unlucky guy it didn't work. All you could hear between tries cos f**k this bollox that then the proper message. It made my week when i heard that, the guy who messed it up though got a ticking off :D

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

how is it ntl's fault exactly????

Hardly the end of the world and probably quite funny to those that heard it.

First ideas lead to a disgruntled employee I believe.

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Hehe, I read about this at El Reg too.... mebbe I should read The Stun more often. Anyway, I found it hilarious :D

very true

Re: Was this for real?
 

So it couldn't possibly be anything to do with it being the end of another month where redundancies are happening!

If anyone was being made redundant or handed in their notice at the company I work for, they would be escorted off the premises and put on gardening leave immediately.

Thats what most organisations with a good reputation do! :rolleyes:

ntl has a history of working people right up until their last day, letting them keep thier cabinet keys, swipe cards and dial in remote access after they have left the company. What would anyone expect in that situation!

Re: Was this for real?
 

A little maturity and a quick flick through the employee handbook to make sure what they've done isn't going to get them sacked and lose their rights to any redundancy or notice pay. I really am amazed at how some peoplw get off..... :dunce: :rolleyes: :monkey:

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Just wish I had heard it.

Re: Was this for real?
 

If they have only been with the company a short time surely it would not be an issue, there were incidents of vandalism in south wales shortly after a load of employees were laid off from a installation contractor.

We all know people who have robbed the company, one even used his butt phone in a cabinet to phone a taxi when he left the pub. Another ordered thousands of pounds worth of equipment for his own personal use. Another one repudedly sh*t in one of the cabinets

None of these people thought they would get caught.

This sort of thing happens, some people do things when they are leaving companies it's a fact.

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

I can't believe that some can "hack" into a phone system and change the message......unless they are on the inside...

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Now now, MB - it wouldn't be someone who uses a name that sounds a bit like flunkydeath, would it? ;)

Re: [merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

would i?!?!

If i was leaving and i had access to it then i might consider it.... but i certainly don't have a geordie accent ;)

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

It was alleged that something similar like this occured but it was not a recorded message, a certain banned member of this forum used to work for ntl and was in the nthellworld.com CLT.

I remember when they posted in the CLT forum on nthellworld.com that they may have to leave the CLT because they were up for disciplinary action and could lose their job because it was alleged that this ntl employee told a customer to **** off over the telephone. I believe the employment of this individual was quite rightfully terminated with immediate effect.

I find it totally bizarre and ironic that this ex ntl employee with this disgusting attitude to customers now owns and operates an ntl customer orientated site with a very similar name and copycat version to nthellworld.com. :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

What if it was someone on this forum????

[dramatic music] :eek: :eek:

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

how many ex employees have we with a geordie accent.....

Shame I didn't need to report a fault would have been good to get a recording of it :D

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

i have a geordie accent, but have never worked for NTL

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Meta we all know you wouldnt' do that to the customers perhaps top management but not the down trodden customer
:D

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

There are reports of some NTL service support staff getting extremely stressed of late :shocked: Maybe it was a employee who had just had a particularly bad day?? We all have them. :p:

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Whey aye, nae mesel man.

It was PJ & Duncan! ...or maybe Gazza. But definitely not Jimmy Nail.

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Well let's be glad that someone did record it, and that it's available to be heard on the BBC website!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/n...re/3693256.stm

There's a link to the RealPlayer file in the top right corner.

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Damn, anyone got an mp3, wav or something?
I'm not installing that Real Player crap.

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

it plays on media player

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Help us thick ones out here then, how does it play on media player ???

:D

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Kitty, it won't play in Windows Media Player.

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

I have the 'alternative' real player installed, and that plays it.

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Wouldn't have windows Media *cough microsoft * player on my PC...... I use alternative and it works just fine..

With the alternative I just clicked on the link and it played no problems seems the only ones to have a problem are those who use microsofts media player which isn't a suprise..

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

Why-aye not?

man arrested for the crime :erm: :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] Was this for real ? (ntl cs message)
 

I wouldn't be suprised if he was an ex-employee who had been made redundant and still knew how to access the system. either that or he probably gained the knowledge form another current or disgruntled employee.

Theres no way anyone can do that without inside knowledge!

I guess it was a bit like knowing the local rate number for "The Box" back in the old days. It was easy to phone up without using the premium number if you were in the know.

Apparently :D
