BT Openworld/Internet Technical Support line (Read 8,412 times)

The cheapest choice is to do like me and become a support engineer; if you want a job doing properly then do it yourself ! Shocked

Most

support lines

ask silly rates for support now to pay for it.

Not reasonable

you say ! You haven't been on the other end of the support line. I can assure you that 09xx reduces the number of silly calls. Oh, we still get them, but it leaves room for the deserving cases. If I came on a callout for a silly call it would cost you a Basic charge for 1.5 hours, at £40/hr, plus travel costs, plus parts (plus VAT) !
You work out the cheapest method and tell me which you'd rather pay Lips Sealed

I don't suppose the BT Broadband support line (0870 2404650) is any good to you;

01912 184102

If not, I will keep my eyes open for you just in case.

It stops hurting when I stop banging it against the wall !!

IMHO, complaint (sorry, customer service) lines should always be free. Complaints are some of the most valuable information a company can get.

Okay, as a compromise, have one free complaint number and one premium-rate one for those in a hurry and willing to pay to jump the queue.

Some BT Openworld numbers I have that may help:
0845-6007020 BT Openworld Helpdesk
0800-1690199 BT Openworld Status Update
The latter is a recorded message informing you of known problems, e.g. no broadband to Ipswich today!

cheers

Not disagreeing with you in the least but the request was for the

Internet Technical Support

number not the customer service number.
If you look carefully, I think you'll find their CS number is free ! Roll Eyes
