Sorry to be picky, BUT, you where waiting for a Service Tech, NOT an Engineer, we (Network Engineers) provide 24/7 cover, and take customer tickets on a Sat that have been passed to us by a service tech.
FMS do not, it would seem monitor incoming calls and raise Network Masters anymore. We had a whole area (2400 subs) and all they did was raise individual tickets!! This is also causing a problem, not least for the Customer but also for the service boys and gals that are up to their necks in it.
The worst thing NTL ever did was shut NFOC in Brighton

hey Womble, Losing some mangers in your department soon as well then!
