I'm not sure how you can say that, you only have to look at some of the posters on here to prove that people can indeed be that stupid

Not 12 hours, but when I was with ntl (as it was) I would regularly be on hold for 45mins to an hour before I spoke to anyone.

But on the up side when I had to call virgin national yesterday I got through within a minute which was great

ah, the bad old days when NTL used to feature on Watchdog every time they did a piece about call centres.

I really don't know what NTL management thought it was doing. Surely they never really thought their infamous, massive on-hold times were acceptable?

If i was on hold for 1 hour i would cut the phone and call back.

I find this story to be odd because I do remember the Britney song being one of the hold music songs but over 2 years ago, so make of that what you will.

I am on hold to virgin national now and I'm getting the Ooops I did it again song......

I would have no problem staying on hold then for 12 hours

.

But seriously 12 hours?? more like 12 minutes.

Luckily so far I have missed that when calling other departments, I thought it was a rather inappropriate song the first time because if you have a perceived fault that may be Virginmredia's faut then you do not want to hear "Oop's I did it again"

They knew that it was you and tried to make you feel guilty.
