    Do you like my letter to NTL?

    Dear Cretins,

    I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your
    four-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, telephone, and alarm
    monitoring.
    During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service
    which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and
    stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific
    details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative and
    seek to rectify these difficulties or more likely (I suspect) so that you
    can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working
    day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office.

    My initial installation was cancelled without warning, resulting in my
    spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your
    technician to arrive. When he did not arrive, I spent a further 57 minutes
    listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying
    Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful website. HOW? I
    alleviated the boredom by playing with my testicles for a few minutes an
    activity at which you are no doubt both familiar and highly adept. The
    rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although the
    technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools -- such as a
    drill-bit, and his cerebrum.

    Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After 15 telephone
    calls over four weeks my modem arrived, six weeks after I had requested it
    and begun to pay for it. I estimate your internet server's downtime is
    roughly 35% -- the hours between about 6 pm and midnight, Monday through
    Friday, and most of the weekend.

    I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made nine calls on
    my
    mobile to your no-help line, and have been unhelpfully transferred to a
    variety of disinterested individuals who are, it seems, also highly skilled
    bollock jugglers. I have been informed that a telephone line is available
    (and someone will call me back); that I will be transferred to someone who
    knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been cut off);
    that I will be transferred to someone (and then been redirected to an
    answering machine informing me that your office is closed); that I will be
    transferred to someone and then been redirected to the irritating Scottish
    robot woman. And several other variations on this theme.

    Doubtless you are no longer reading this letter, as you have at least a
    thousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of
    those crucially important testicle moments to attend to. Frankly I don't
    care. It's far more satisfying as a customer to voice my frustrations in
    print than to shout them at your unending hold music. Forgive me,
    therefore, if I continue.

    I thought British Telecom was tulip; that they had attained the holy
    piss-pot
    of god-awful customer relations; and that no one, anywhere, ever, could be
    more disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service
    to their customers. That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't
    anyone else is there? How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to
    my
    considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment at what a useless shower
    of
    bastards you truly are.

    You are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum incompetents of the
    highest
    order. BT -- ******* though they are shine like brilliant beacons of
    success in the filthy mire of your seemingly limitless inadequacy. Suffice
    to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to receive
    any kind of service from you. I suggest that you cease any potential future
    attempts to extort payment from me for the services which you have so
    pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver. Any such activity will be
    greeted initially with hilarity and disbelief and will quickly be replaced
    by derision, and even perhaps bemused rage.

    I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cat's litter
    tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you and
    your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become
    desiccated during transit -- they were satisfyingly moist at the time of
    posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not
    experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the
    very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and its worthless employees.

    Have a nice day. May it be the last in your miserable short lives, you
    irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of twats.

    Yep, that'll do it right enough.

    Why not put it on one of the myriad websites dedicated to NTL's spectacular incompetence.
    Me, me, me...

            Sorry to hear of your NTL woes, brillo.

            However that's a cracking email and had me in fits !

            You have a well versed wit and a certain eloquence of prose !
            Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              Funny, but there seems to be a copy of that here...

                  Actually there is!

                  Try thinking of something original next time or run the risk of being associated with Threaded for all eternity.

                    Oh

                    I'm not going to read anymore of your stuff now...
