Well the answer was 2. This was in reference to 'trained staff'. I knew I wouldn't be let down.

Quote from: AlaricAdair In this morning's news it is announced BT are to recruit 1000 Hell Desk staff in the UK and move more support calls from the Indian call centres. Did PN have the right idea all along or will BT rob Leeds for trained support staff?
based on the time it takes the phone to be answered, then i would have to say NO they don't have the right idea.

BT today announced that it will create 1,000 permanent UK jobs as it works to meet its commitment to answer more than 80 per cent of BT Consumer customers’ calls from within the UK by the end of 2016.
I shall try not to complain, again, about how long it takes to get the phone answered at PN towers ! ! ! ....

and, as there seems to be lots of complaints about BTOR engineers NOT turning up, as arranged.... how about PN getting in on this
Quote
and has launched the BT App that allows customers to do things like check their bill or track the progress of their engineer if they have booked a home appointment.
Won`t stop them not turning up...but at least you may get some idea IF he will.........

You're forgetting I used to manage the managers of several Help Desk teams.

Edit: geriatric typo removed.

If your engineer doesn't turn up - you can claim compensation

Asides from poor staff playing with their 'resolve' script on the phones, they're even sanctioned if they veer off script to save time and resolve problems.
Then there's the VERY poor communication in their network, and the billing issues - I know someone who still got bills THREE years after leaving them (he joined plusnet) - and yes they wanted line rental, broadband, etc (which he now paid to plusnet).. Now he gets debt letters for the money he NEVER did owe!
So BT.... Well, the elderly often stick with them because once that's all there was, but more and more are leaving... Incompetent, costly, and... No thanks!
