Saying Thanks to K. E.

I did not around to writing but I absolutely must say thanks to the Cable and Wireless technican K.E. for sorting out my phone service. After weeks without phone service and ADSL connection, it was good to finally have it back. This gentleman was very pleasant and professional, and unlike the foul-mouth technician that first turnup, went around systemaically eliminating the problems and final enabling the telephone service. Interestingly it turns out that he was the same gentleman that sort out the ADSL service at my parent's house. My parents had told him about this CW technician, how nice and professional he was and how he worked dilligently to ensure that when he left the problem was fixed. My brother had even suggested that it was a pity he did not get the gentleman's name and number to have him come and look at our problems.

Toll Users Sweat It Out

This time, I have received a bill with charges for rental, voice mail, other features and ADSL service for the period August 1 to August 31, 2006 During this period I have had no phone, no ADSL service but yet still I have received a bill.

I spoke to one customer service representative and then I am transferred to another. The other indicates to me she can't help and she can't transfer to the first section and I will have to call again. I call again and once again I must endure the agony of listening to Enya. I wonder if Cable and Wireless is paying Enya royalties for the music. Why isn't Flow in my area yet?
