It'll probably end up happening anyway, we all know that if VM had their way they'd send everything customer-facing to India.

If it happens then it is nothing I would be unduly worried about as I have been there before and have the t shirt.

Re: Has the Indian Call Centre being given the heave ho?

I fear for my sanity if i have to deal only with the overseas excuse for a call centre,
I have trouble hearing them because i wear a hearing aid, I have trouble understanding them because of there accent, I hate the way they drop the call if you sway from there script or you tell them they are wrong.

The last dealings i had with them was when my modem failed "50Meg on a ambit" they sent a new one in the post and it was a 20 Meg. I confirmed with them twice during the call that they understood i was on 50 Meg but they still fecked it up. I had to go via another team to get it fixed and ended up on a shub (which is now working fine )

l dread it when l hear that Manila accent on the other side of the phone as they have no understanding of what you are trying to say to them half the time.

Yes, I had a similar issue, except it was a UK centre that sent me a VM256 to replace a VMNG300. Incompetence isn't exclusive to offshore.

That said this thread is potentially interesting as a place for VM employees threatened by closure of Albert Dock to blow off some steam, so I shall subscribe accordingly.

No its not but comparing UK centres to foreign ones the vast majority of the times is like comparing apples and pears.
