I hate calling technical support lines! Really, really hate it! My job is extremely technical, so I normally know much, much more that the guy on the other end of the line.

Last time I had Sky Broadband problems, the lights on the box were on, but the power light was off. There was obviously some issue with the router, but Oh no; the guy on the other end of the phone line wanted to sell me a new power supply! "So how come the other lights are on, then? Where's the electricity for those coming from - liittle electricity pixies living inside the box that haven't died yet?". "But your power light is off......"

Eventually I insisted on speaking to a grown up, and got him to send me a new modem. Worked perfectly ever since.

I know they read from scripts, but it begs the question why they can't employ technically competent people instead!

Apt timing on the thread... I've had one of the most frustrating computer days of my life... I have to submit the information for 10 corporation tax computations (as fun as it sounds) and the software that I need to use takes about a minute to update the screen every time I click anything... Spent about 95% of the day looking at a timer on a screen & only 5% working (although my desk is looking quite tidy!). The information was already all prepared & just needed to be imported, but only got 5 done all day with another fun day of 5 to go tomorrow - As a result, I've needed to spend the whole evening working on the stuff I should have been doing. :8>0:
