Its only a small point, but illustrative of the poor service provided by this company. I've had a week from ntHELL with them and the broadband service- feeling quite pleased I had finally bit the bullet and moved to BT, but then I am wound up further about the disconnection. To hell with it- special delivery letter on monday and the direct debit is already stopped! but WHY? Why are they so obtuse? Why try so damn hard to LOSE customers?

Thank you, I feel better now!
you won't get away that easily. someone will be on the blower with an offer you can't refuse.
Too true! I reached breaking point a few weeks ago and after having had the reply, "No." to my request, "Are you going to send out an engineer tomorrow.", I said "Right, put me through to the department that can cancel everything.", I got someone on the phone a minute later discussing when the engineer would turn up. With a decent company (are there any?) you shouldn't have reached this stage, but it does seem to be the only language that ntl understands. Sad but true.
