I don't blame you for being upset. I've been upset for more than six
weeks now over non connections, mail problems, slowness of news
servers, long distance charges incurred while waiting on hold at
Netcom Tech support, getting no real solutions when I get a hold of
Netcom Tech support and having only three of 15 messages answered, two
of which were sent back with clarification and more questions and one
of which posed no solution whatsoever.

If Netcom thinks this is customer service, somebody better look up the
term in a dictionary. Last night, it took me 13 calls to try and get
on the service. Maybe I can buy busy signals or bad password and ID
messages but I can't deal with phones going dead or automatic
answering equipment never answering my calls.

Are you listening Netcom? I won't call anymore and I won't write you
either. It doesn't seem to do any good.
