It's all a viscious circle as more customer service calls are generated because the networks are not being maintained. The networks possibly have nothing to do with your fault, but cost cutting means people are having to wait longer and suffer reduced quality of service these days to make the figures look good for the shareholders.

This example wouldn't of happened a few years ago, simply because people weren't running around then like chickens with their heads chopped off and achieving nothing! to the tune of managers who dont know their ar*e from their elbows.
