The problems the dickhead described are clear indicators that the problems reside in either his computer setup or his phone connection. Most likely both. Netcom isn't going to send a tech to configure the clown's computer for him or install a direct access line to his local POP that will aviod the noise and problems of his current connection. > When I sent several complaints to netcom about continuing lockup >problems(where the system fails to respond to any command) I finally >received a detailed reply listing numerous reasons for this happening all >but one of which attempted to fault the customer. It was your fault. You were most likely attempting to use the Netluser interface instead of the alternitive apps. > My main complaint with netcom is not the problems but the company >policy which seems to be one of ignoring a problem in the hope that it >will go away. Got me there. > George > P.S. the number that you give means nothing. If we were to use customer >counts as a standard then we would all be using AOL. AOL is not a true ISP. Netcom is the largest Nationwide ISP in the country - becuase more customers are satisfied with it than they are with their potential alternitives. -- For some reason, this fortune reminds everyone of Marvin Zelkowitz.
