As bexy has said, how do you know how well she deals with customers? Do you know her? Have you ever spoken to her? As to your own Customer Handling skills, I have found you to be polite in PMs (ie on a one to one basis) but on the forums, you are somewhat less than polite, and even rude in some cases.

As for me having high expectations, I do not make any apologies and why should I? With NTL, I'm afraid, I have low expectations. There is no point is setting them for NTL. BT has actually surpassed my expectations.

Good, if you get bad service from any company you should stand up for your rights. Not enough people in this country do that.

Again, you're suggesting I'm approaching the associates with a negative attitude. May I refer to you my answer I gave in post #53. Do you not read my post?

I've been on various courses on how to handle to dificult and abusive people and thankfully I have used these skills when dealing with NTL associates. I try not to ask difficult questions as this only confuse their minds. I try and give support especially when they are clearly not capable. Though I'm polite on the phone, they are clearly lack skills in handling customers.

So, you don't approach NTL associates with a negative attitude? Yet you say "I try not to ask difficult question as this only confuse their mind" & "thankfully I have used these skills when dealing with NTL associates". You appear to be assuming that whatever associate you speak to will be thick (or lack communication skills) or difficult. If that is not a negative attitude, I don't know what is.
