Annoying IVR
I just called up ntl to add some channels to my package only to hear the recorded message by the chirpy geordie that if there's something wrong with my broadband, I should call a different number. After going through all that (and repeating the number again) he cheerfully tells me that customer service closed 2 hours ago.
Now wouldn't it be better for the customer if this was mentioned at the start of the call rather than giving me irrelevant information first?

Re: Annoying IVR
It's worse when you are paying a premium rate for the call and they drone on and on and on and on before getting to the info you want...

 What is the last line supposed to mean?
Should it say "10am to 4pm - Sunday", or "closed - Sunday"?

Re: Annoying IVR
Little things like that make all the difference... I wonder why they don't do it? I am not being funny...
It would be interesting to know why these simple things aren't implemented. If there is a reasonable answer then fair enough....
