>  Dear Cretins,
>
> I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for
your
> 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone.
> During this three month period I have encountered inadequacy of
service
> which
> I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and
> stupidity
> of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific
details, so
> that you can either pursue your professional prerogative, and seek to
> rectify
> these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have
some
> entertaining reading material as you while away the working day
smoking
> B&H
> and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office.
>
>  My initial installation was cancelled without warning or
notice,resulting
> in
> my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your
> technician to arrive. When he did not arrive at all, I spent a further
57
> minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, andthe even more
> annoying
> Scottish robot woman telling me to look at
> yourhelpful website.... how? I alleviated the boredom to some small
degree
> by
> playing with my testicles for a few minutes - an activity at which you
are
> no-doubt both familiar and highly adept.
>
>  The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later,
> although
> the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools - such as a
> drill-bit, and his cerebrum.
>
>  Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After several
> further
> telephone calls (actually 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks) my modem
> arrived
> ... a total of six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay
for
> it.
>
>  I estimate that the downtime of your internet servers is roughly
> 35%...these

Friday,

> most of the useful periods over the weekend.

>  I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9
telephone

> also
> highly skilled bollock jugglers.
>
>  I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someone
will

call

a

other

>  Doubtless you are no-longer reading this letter, as you have at least
a

care,

than

>
>  Forgive me, therefore, if I continue.

> I thought BT were shit, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of

> less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to their
customers.
> That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't anyone else is

>  How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to my considerable

you

incompetents
