I agree that the response is improved, and your employers should be congratulated for that, but the pattern is still occurring. It's still a product being forced on paying customers that is evolving into being fit for purpose at their expense. This is wrong. Test your product better. Simple as. I wouldn't publish a Citrix application to my users without testing it thoroughly.

Again, well done. Surely it's more beneficial to consider why their release was needed. A proper testing lab (staff, trusted customers, specific leechers, etc) would've highlighted these issues. You can get realtime results from the customer's modems. There's really no excuse. Especially if you consider how many previous new 50MB customers you already disgruntled.

How did this even happen? It's mostly bad management decisions. "Quick, plug the hole!!!"

Perhaps you mean for the people that just keep paying their bills and hope it's going to be fine in the morning? Or the people that can't deal with speaking to another offshore agent?

Interesting that you should use the Silent Majority defence

Ben, I have the utmost respect for you and your colleagues who frequent an unofficial forum. I've read the support you give to people in these forums and I commend you for it. My respect is lost, somewhat, when I read you backing a horse that fell at the first hurdle and is eyeing the 'veterinarian' approaching with a gun.
