- That is because Dan's job is dependent on his department looking like
- it is doing what it was supposed to do. If others within USR knew
- how horrible USR tech support was Dan would probably lose his job. Now
- Dan wouldn't want that.
-
- After waiting on hold for 40 minutes with Ascend technical support,
- they used the same line (our phone system reports an average wait
- time of 5 minutes). (You'd think Ascend and USR would want to get
- the time down around 0).
-
- Now Acsend and Dan both think this means that it a 5 minutes average
- before the call is answered. Well, actually, it is 5 minutes average
- before the average person gives up and hangs up.
-
- I was never able to reach a human at USR, nor was I able to reach
- any "thing" that would help me with my problems.
-
- And I had just bought 24 USR Sportster 33.6's, at a cost of over $4000.
-
- You'd think that when you bought $4000 worth of goods, you could get
- someone to answer the phone at technical support.
-
- Dan are you listening? Dissatisfied customer here. Technical support
- at USR was a total flop.
