So it is okay for others for others not to read my posts properly and then for them to get all argumentative about it.

To suggest I'm needlessly rude is perhaps the wrong statement to use, poor judgement I think.

Re: NTL Customer Services: Your personal experience

to be serious for a moment....

UDT, you keep on about your superior customer service skills, all the training you have had and how good you are - ie, dealing with difficult people - yet you are constantly rude and abusive to just about everyone on here... why not practice what you preach and BE NICE?

ok, be rude as you like to me, i really wont lose any sleep over it, but there are people who have been perfectly nice to you, offering genuine help - yet as soon as you find out they work for ntl, you become rude and insulting....well, thinking about it they dont even have to say they work for ntl, using homealne as an example the other night (sorry to bring your name up mate), all they have to do is not loudly denounce ntl to recieve your insults

sod customer service skills...... how about you try acting like a human being for once?, you do and you will be pleasantly surprised at how willing people will be to sort your problems, i promise you......

The point you fail to grasp is that when I deal with CSRs they do not get overstretch thus making their lives a bit more easier.

What are you talking about Mark? I've done extremely well in sorting out my telephone line when it was disconnected through NTL's own incompetance, without anyone's help on these forum.

However, it is a sheer pleasure in dealing with BT, that you can only speak with or listen with respect. Sadly, NTL are a long way off to get my respect. THERE IS NO POINT IN RESPECTING NTL IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECIPROCATE.

... and the point you fail to grasp is that no matter how much CS knowledge you have, treating other members and CS staff as a lower lifeform is just going to breed contempt.

Has it occurred to you that maybe if you hadn't spent so much time ****ing off NTL (words from your profile), somebody on this forum may just have been willing and able to help?
