Hi Guys,

I tried for the first time the hotline for french telecom. Man, this is so crap services compared to those you get in US.

I am wondering if french arent stupid for paying that crap. No one says anything. You spend really one hour with wonderful music/greetings just for getting a simple question/help.

try 10 14 and enjoy

HAHAHA try living in India.

Have you ever contacted Microsoft support?

Yeah...

Not all Indian providers are bad.

For those who know India, this may surprise you.
(1)
BSNL - the state owned telephone company (not a monopoly though). Hotline for billing complaints in Chennai circle - 1500, 6 days a week service. Automatic interactive key response system to choose your language and I got a prompt and pertinent clarification (haven't tried resolution/rectification yet).

(2)
VSNL - the formerly state owned ISP (since privatised). Published help desk number. Won't gve you a ticket number unless you ask but otherwise OK.

End

at least in france you get decent net speeds 24M right?

us across la Manche struggle to get 8M max (we only get 3 at home)
