thats why im with tiscali 
Horses for courses.
The link doesn\'t work for me..possibly because I am with AOL
Now I am a relatively computer savvy bloke but I have stuck with AOL because they work..they are efficient and they do what it says on their tin.
I have moved houses several toimes and AOL have always \'kept up\' with me.
As far as I am concerned they provide a peerless service..I await a flaming with bated breath:bouncy:

Heh....
Not a family-friendly link....
However, this is not a family-friendly site....and has never professed to be so.
It\'s also not \'adults only\' but there is a load of content on here that is unsuitable for kids.
I am sorry, but it is up to parents to monitor access to this site..rest assured that blatant abuse will be stamped on however.

The fella operating for AOL was one hard-nosed chap. Impressively so. How many times can a sales-person refuse to close an account? lol

It sounded to me like the customer service guy was messing with him deliberately. He probably wanted to get fired. Working in customer service like that can be really brutal, because people only call you when there\'s some kind of awful problem. Also, isn\'t taping a phone conversation without the consent of the other party illegal in the US? ???

Ask Vince he\'s a lawyer...but I think it varies from state to state. Also some companies record Customer service calls \"for quality assurance purposes\" Maybe someone in the company let this one out.

When companies do it, they warn you ahead of time with their \"this call may be recorded for quality assurance\" spiel. I thought that phone related things would be under federal jurisdiction. I\'ll have to look into that.
Here it is.

When I called to cancel my Citibank Mastercard, I got a briefer version of the same runaround. I was asked:
(paraphrased)
\"For what reason are you canceling?\"
\"I got another card.\"
\"What card?\"
\"Another one.\"
\"Why?\"
\"It has some benefits this one doesn\'t.\" (this is where I should have said \"Cancel. The. Account.\")
He asks what benefits, and then proceeds to try and UPSELL me on a better Citi card, at length. I finally say \"Look, just cancel the damn card, okay?\" and he goes all \"How have I offended you?\"!
I swear there\'s some shit-sack academy where they train these asshats to be tenacious phone weasels. I think these are the people who were too ugly to become used car salesmen but still wanted to badger customers for a living.
But I did get the card canceled. And I\'m never doing business with Citi again, even though I never had problems with their card. Why? First, I learned that Citi makes a lot of money running certain scummy outfits that lend to low-income homeowners at usurious rates. You know the type, essentially long-term payday loans where the monthly payments are low but the poor borrower ends up paying 4x the principal in interest. I want nothing to do with such people. And second... when I say \"cancel my card\"... cancel my f%%king card.
