		<description>use reverse charge number to call them-all inbound calls must be accutely notated and u can always ask for name to refer to in future, the calls are randomly recorded. e30 was not charged by mbna per se but it&#039;s a government levy you must pay upon closing your account if it was open in a running tax year, if u closed it on i.e. 15th april u would&#039;ve see charge for prev and current year.</description>

		<description>Ntl strikes again, had a rep come to the door and agreed a digital upgrade, had not heard from them in two days so rang them and they set up an appointment without telling me. So I changed it to today. Got a phone call yesterday to confirm, and they dident even turn up today, rang their phoneline and got put on hold for 20 minutes, more bad service. I do support myself and there is no way I would treat any of my customers like that.</description>

		<description>Hi People.
I paid them 52 euro monthly for an internet and cable television and i had 10 MB transfer connection without limmits.
I use RapidShare so i never think about limits.
After 4 months they send me  NTL bill to pay and there was no 52 euro but 152 euro.
Me and my girlfriend call them the same day and they said that i dawnloaded to many things and i have to pay for that.
I was talking with a nice girl but she said that it&#039;s kind a penalty or something and there&#039;s no use to do it in a different way. 
I hung up my phone and another day i cancel direct debit.
Next 3 weeks i get NTL bill for 346 euro.
I just want to say that i will never ever gonna order annything from Chorus NTL
NTL SUCKS...</description>

		<description>hey people, I understand your complains, I also had troubles with ntl broadband; in Poland UPC has just introduced (dl/up) 120/10 Mbit/s connection (!); it is for about €50/mo. while the slowest available option is 8/1 Mbit for about €18;
UPC chello (that&#039;s how it&#039;s called here) is considered rather a good provider here in PL, i really cant uderstand how there can be so huge difference between countries as this is a one company!
Anyway, good luck with your ISPs!</description>

		<description>Paying for their BB for 6 months, had it working on and off for 4 with most issues listed above: thick twats in customer service, long call waiting, no call backs, stupid field guys, no follow up, near dial up actual speed on 3mb, network outages for the whole area 2-4 times a week for half a day or more and so long. And all this in 4 months!!! What a service!!! Today&#039;s call toped anything in this topic: After 45 min of waiting and 3 min on hold after a question the ..... ..... ..... ..... (fill in the blanks) of a TECHNICAL SUPPORT OPERATOR told me that he &quot;DOESN&#039;T HAVE AUTHORISATION CLEARANCE&quot; (exact words) to help me set up my e-mail account properly (pop3,smtp names, username and password)

Given the 1st entry date above and same problems since then, may be it&#039;s a company policy?

A suggestion now: 

Customers should address ALL their service complains directly to their CEO R. D (googlable) at HQ in writing. They can start something like this:

Dear Mr D

Given that your company for our monthly payments supplies the service below any standards, appauling quality and that NTL/UPC/Chorus has none or adverse customer service, I feel that I can address my request for customer care to you. 
and then follow on with complaint

Such letters will at least be delivered, opened and read (at least the first line).

even 50 letters a month with some media coverage might do the trick. Even the letters from those above the list might do. What do you think?</description>

		<description>NTL Ireland are lying about their broadband speed offers. I have 6mb and only get 1.7mb on average sometime s3.2 on a great day.
Contention ratio is beyond belief.But hey, They are cynical about the public&#039;s knowledge of what is &quot;fast&quot; or &quot;slow&quot; they dont recognise irish Speed test as an acceptabe indicator of their available speeds. AVOID</description>
