I absolutely refuse to believe you are the socially maladjusted loner that you seem to want to make yourself out to be on this forum. I am determined to believe you are a perfectly nice, misunderstood person who is just angry at having been mucked about by NTL.

Next time there's a nthw meet-up, come along - I've missed them all so far but I want to go to the next one. If all of us get together and have a drink and a laugh, I'm certain things will be much happier round here.

So, somebody on this forum couldn't have just looked into what had happened and sorted it out without all the stress you suffered? Without the 5 phone calls and the letter to Oftel?

Well if tried to treat NTL CSRs as capable and reasonable, then I can almost guarantee it they will say inappropriate things, get emotional or cause more problems

if i really have to i will find quotes (reading through your posts is not a fun prospect) but from memory i belive you have called them...

incompetant
thick
stupid
unskilled
ignorant
rude
unable to understand what you say
incapable of doing anything
liars
puppets towing the party line



oh, just to prove a point - from this thread alone

imbecilles
the liars they are
'I try not to ask difficult question as I know this may confuse their minds'
'cut the nonsense about moral fibre - you work for NTL, remember'
'I try not to ask difficult questions as this only confuse their minds' (again )
they are clearly not capable

ok, that was only to page 4, and i couldnt be bothered to continue....

add to all that all those times you have mentioned 'contempt' and anyone will have a clear impression you feel they are 'lower life forms'

I didn't know I wrote a letter to OFTEL.

Get your facts right, scastle, and not for the first time either, for the record it was 7 phone calls to NTL and one to OFTEL. I'm beginning to wonder if you guys have reading problems here.

And of course, you are always right... Actually, I was going from memory on that particular thread.

Anyway, I digress. How is a grand total of eight phone calls more efficient than getting somebody to look into the problem here? Apart from the fact that you would have to be nice to people here as they are not required to help you.

I noticed you have edited that particular sentence to fit in with your thinking so for the record I shall include the sentence here.

What towny was getting at was the derisory comment 'some idiot'. You just don't realise that your being so insulting do you ?

I see, be nice to these people and get lower compensation. Thanks but no thanks.
