Indian Tech Support
The thing I've noticed about East Indian support for anything is they aren't very helpful. It's always assumed you are wrong they are right and you have to go at great lengths to prove you are right.

A friend of mines wife is East Indian as she provided me insight. It's a cultural differnce. We are brought up to believe the customer is always right while the opposite belief is true India. The customer must prove they are right in India. It's just a cultural thing.

So I tried that. Next time I had to deal with these East Indian support people I had all the details right there. I didn't rely on them to find the mistake, I made sure I had it all there to point it out them. I got very prompt service too.

Mind you my problem wasn't technical support for a PC but for cordless phone.
