After having some internet issues over the past week i thought it would be a good idea to ring Pipex tech support and this is where my drama unfolds.

After a long time on hold i finally get through to 1st line, which is made ever more frustrating by the need to repeat everything 5 times and wait for them to read from a sheet.

After the intial checks i was passed to second line, who asked me similar questions and spoon fed me into the router settings screen.

After establishing my password and login were correct the fun could begin, "you will recieve a call back in 24 hours".

Great.

After 24 hours, no call.

I rang them back and it seemed to confuse them no end that i already had a call logged and were insistent that they perform their 1st line checks, a quick succession of No, No, No, soon sorted that. :o

The next hurdle was 2nd line, again.

I managed to convince him after a few tests that this was unnecessary again and to read the notes.

"you will recieve a call in 24 hours.", "No i bloody won't".

5 minutes later, 3rd line called to say there line test was fine.

After explaining the problem, he performed another line test and low and behold a ticket has been raised.

I will be called between 11am and 1pm.

We shall see but Janek Kunkulol, i will track you down if i have to endure 1st/2nd line again.
 
May be a good idea to help everyone by explaining your problem you have first. You may be passed from line to line but not many people can help you if you don't tell us your problem.

i think you have missed the point of this thread and taken it as an attack on 1st line, which is not the case. :)
 
For those that are interested -

Internet was on/off for the last week, down all yesterday.

In this time none of the settings had been touched and we had checked all the wiring, reset the router settings, switched on/off, checked the lights.

Then we tried a different router following the same process with no luck.

I have worked in 1st/2nd line so didn't mind the checks the first time, even if they took longer than i expected, "p l e a s e t y p e, o n e, n i n e, t w o.."
