		<description>And you think you got problems.....buy a DELL computer - go thru all
the above steps - 87 times for a total of 96 hours telling them the
&quot;new computer&quot; didn&#039;t work &quot;out of the box&quot; - get stalled for 5 months,
(of course the return predvilge has expired) and it still don&#039;t work.
A &quot;threat&quot; don&#039;t work but my state Attorney General say he will look 
into it....he has 55 cases pending for people that thought to file
a complaint.....time will tell!! As for BELL.....been there, done
that....gave up and went to COX....don&#039;t like them but I can
raise Hell locally when I get ticked!!! ANYONE ever file with the
FCC - that works real well, if your willing to take 6 months waiting
for them to do &quot;it&quot;....last time it cost AT&amp;T several thousand when
I got &quot;even&quot; finally....</description>

		<description>After being transferred to California again, on my third call I took a different route through the phone tree and got somebody who could help me.   She claimed she did see my order in the system, but it isn\&#039;t due to be hooked up until September 9th!  So in the mean time I\&#039;m going to see if I can get dial-up to work.  I\&#039;m told I can use the same username/password that I\&#039;ve been using for DSL.  And if you believe that...</description>

		<description>HA!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1.  Call 877 SBC DSL5, which is my local DSL support number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2.  Navigate phone menus.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 3.  Wait forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 4.  Somebody finally comes on.  Tell them I just moved, my DSL is not working in my new house.  Tell them I\&#039;ve previously requested that it be moved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 5.  Tell them my number, which starts with 203.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 6.  They say, \&quot;is that in California?\&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 7.  Tell them no, that that is in North Haven, CT.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 8.  They say they\&#039;ll transfer me to somebody who can help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 9.  Wait forever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 10.  Somebody comes on.  Tell them my situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 11.  They say, \&quot;What city is that number in?\&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 12.  North Haven, CT&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 13 (the punchline): They say that this is the support center for California, they don\&#039;t know why I\&#039;m calling there, because my local support number is 877 SBC DSL5.</description>

		<description>Very scary when you\&#039;re talking to the PHONE COMPANY and you tell them your number, with area code 203, and they ask you if that\&#039;s in California.</description>

		<description>I know!  I tried to call them yesterday: \&quot;Due to the blaster worm, we are experiencing extremely high call volumes.  All of our agents are currently busy.  Please call back later.  This call will be disconnected.\&quot;  And it hung up on me!  Then I called back \&quot;later\&quot;, navigated through 5 levels of phone menus, and finally arrived at a message saying their office is closed.</description>
