Lo Que Más Les Molesta A Los Colombianos

johnny2009 says on Sep 1, 2009, 19:51:

No me han respuesta de nada? What sort of Spanish is that?

Amazingly that tinny compressed sound is exactly the same as the Telmex phone up a cow's pussy quality that I have grown to hate

Damn, what a foul-mouthed bitch, I bet she's an anti-Uribista too! LOL. I can imagine what she must sound like in bed!

I had a job doing internet trouble-shooting over the phone, thank God I never had a customer like that!

Usuaria muy molesta con el servicio de INTERNET desde. Lo que más les molesta a los Colombianos acceso a servicios a través de Internet.

Los colombianos también expresan insatisfacción con la regulación de la banca, pues hay un 89 por ciento que cree que el Gobierno debería controlar el valor de los servicios que prestan, así como un 82 por ciento que pide a las autoridades ser más estrictas con estas entidades.

Wow! A bit harsh on an old Colombian woman looking for good service in Colombia.

johnny,
If that is how the internet works in Colombia than I can completely understand why the old lady went nuts.

Johnny,

I remember calling information in 2001 and the broad said" I will have that number for you in a moment sir, the other operator is using the phone book at the moment." Then I heard her flipping pages.

It's the same in Spain. Telefonica we call them timofonica. Takes them 6 months to show up to fix anything. They should outsource the call center to India just to piss off the customers a little more. Spanish with a heavy Indian jive, that would be lovely.

JAJA, que Bogotana tan rabiosa, pero escucha como ella tiene todo razón, pero se pase la limite hasta la punta de locura. Escucha como mi cuñada aveces. LOL

Obviously it is not only the gringos that realize service in Colombia can suck... and suck often.

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

hahaha, that's priceless. Stupid bitch, maybe poor Patricia had an hot cyberdate with her gringo and couldn't log on. I love how the cable guy responds to her wanting to kill someone at cablenet "bueno, eso ya seria su responsabilidad"... Oh man, I would've had a field day had I been that guy.

The video above is a complaint of a pissed off customer with Telemex. I believe webmanco or someone else posted the original video a while ago here on pbh.

You expected them to have any quality of service?

They are light years ahead of where they were 20 years ago, hell even 10 years ago.

I remember getting an ISDN line installed at a school in 2000 and EPM sent six techs who sat around scratching their heads until I booted them out of the way and did it myself.

If she was really that desperate she'd cancel telmex and hire something else. There is no excuse for treating a poor bastard who works in a call centre the way she did. How can this idiot expect good service or help when she is yelling like a banshee and cursing like a sailor? I wouldn't have helped her either. There is always a way to solve things in Colombia and getting pissed off is really not an option. I used to have the same problem with my Internet Provider back in Colombia and all you have to do is be polite but firm, if a visit has been scheduled then you call on the day and confirm... I understand its not supposed to be like that in the first place, but if you want things done in Colombia you have to learn how to nag in an appropriate fashion.
