I found a problem with the Radio Times web site this morning and sent
them an email via the Contact link on the site. A pop-up ad was
covering part of the programme details. Here's the time line.

10:39 sent the email
10:50 got a reply asking for details of my system
10:57 I sent the reply, telling them the problem was only in Firefox
11:14 got a reply saying the issue had been escalated
11:18 I said thank you
11:39 got a reply saying it had been fixed - it had.

So exactly one hour covered the whole transaction. Anyone beat that
for service?

**Pretty impressive. I believe I can beat it.

Over the last dozen years or so, I've had around 10 ISPs. Whenever I've had
a problem, it has taken anything from an hour to a couple of days to solve
the problem. Usually, I end up speaking to someone in Mumbai. It can be very
frustrating. Early this year, I located a new, small ISP. I've had a couple
of problems. When I 'phone them, I am able to speak to a human being, rather
than a machine. That human clearly has English as their first language (they
speak with an Australian accent) and the problem has always been solved in
less than 15 minutes.
