I'm guessing that arcamalpha2004 meant they'd call retentions to cancel instead of contacting CS to try to fix an issue? I don't think NTL has given any indication of caring about turnover.. have they?

Here's another 'sham i can blow the cover on' (I love that, it makes me sound all investigative-reporter-y, when it's really just common sense!):

Customer Services reps are logged into a call distribution queue, and answer calls.
Faults reps are logged into logged into a call distribution queue, and answer calls.
Retentions reps logged into a call distribution queue, and answer calls.

If NTL wanted everyone to get to speak to a manager right away, managers would.. (wait for it, now!) be logged into a call distribution queue, and answer calls.

Ignoring the debate of whether or not the customer should be able to speak to a manager right away/without giving the CSR any information, the fact is that NTL doesn't want managers answering calls. If they wanted to do away with CSRs and have a herd of managers answering customer queries, they would. Hell, why not just make all the CSRs officially managers and end this whole debate once and for all!?
