I would never disagree that properly trained call centre staff reduce unwanted callouts, the fact is though service calls are going through the roof for network faults, but are being treated as single customer service faults. thats something that call extra centre staff can do nothing about, that requires suitably experienced arms and legs out in the field.
The way that you talk you make it sound like network techs are not looking after the network through having to do the work of service techs. This makes me presume, rightly or wrongly, that service techs may be doing installations.

It could be that some network faults are treat as single customer faults through inadequate training of call centre staff and apathy amongst staff who know they are to be made redundant.
