    Completely out of the blue, a Chorus rep. called me yesterday to ask if my problem with pants picture quality had been resolved.

    I informed her that, "no, after 2.5 months of unwatchable garbage, countless 'phone calls, lies and outright refusal to refund me any cash, the problem was still not resolved".

    She promised one of their mobile apes would visit me today between 12 and 2.

    I'm off sick 2day (dying with a wretched cold) so I can ask them a few questions if you like. Post them here and I'll report back the answers.

    P.S. Being polite, I wont be asking the chap "Why are Chorus so s*it?" etc.

    Make sure that you have a 'note' ready detailing the proiblemsa and that he signs off against any he sees himself.

    eg Discovery Channel = artefacts .....he initialises the list at that point. Have it printed out.

    Then cancel the direct debit out of your account and institute a standing order to Chorus for the % service you do get.

    eg 50% watchable overall, give Chorus 50% of their cash in a standing order every month.

    as they fix problems ......... :D....I know :D .....up the standing order monthly untill you have 100% service at 100% of the price.

    Raskolnikov:

    You'll be delighted to know that we'll have cable internet by "this summer if not before" :rolleyes:

    Muck:

    He promised to 'sign off' my three problems after he'd been up on the roof to 'fix the aerial'. You'll never gues what.....he never came back. What a fecking huge surprise.

    I was actually giggling like a little girl before writing this- I cannot believe that they are this bad! Just when you think they've plumbed the depths of incompetence they stun you with even more appalling service. I mean, why didn't he just sh*t in my bed and insult my mother while he was at it? :p :rolleyes: :mad:

    It'd make a funny call to Chorus support:

    "hi, I'm worried about one of your engineers"

    "Oh?"

    "Yesh, he went up on my roof the other day and said he'd sort out a few problems for me when he came down. That was three days ago and I think you'd better send someone round with a ladder - the poor chap must still be up there as he hasn't called into me yet"

    <click>

    I'd love to make a call to Chorus without getting all riled up (difficult enough but necessary if you don't want them to put the phone down) but insisting that the guy /must/ still be up there despite whatever they say on the phone.
