What was ntl's response?

"We apologise for the inconvenience caused".

When will that stupid company realise that we don't want apology after apology!!! Customers just want them to get it right!!!

ROFL ntl say they have invested in a whole new billing system to iron out these problems.

LOL that would be Harmony then would it? :rolleyes:

I don't know. They might also be referring to other things like the new call centre systems they are installing to enable the new 'virtual' system.

I didn't see Watchdog. What exactly were they talking about? Any specific examples of poor customer service?

Some phone routing problem, went to somebody else or something.
Interactive constantly rebooting the box + repeated billing after cancelling.
Some billing problem with a dead woman.

Well just now as it was finishing, a guy had contacted Watchdog during the program to say he was on the phone 55 minutes trying to cancel his Broadband package, he ended up speaking to 10 different people only to be told 'Write a letter'. :erm:

Not surprising seeing they aren't even interviewing for customer care jobs any more. They simply ask when they can start and give them a couple of days training then onto the phones with little or no backup.

Yet they made the regional Retentions teams redundant as they were deemed not to be good enough.

I find it highly amusing that they now cannot cope.
