The worst company I have ever dealt with.

I am 12 months into an 18 month contract paying for BTs top fibre / phone / TV package. I am averaging around 5 hours a month on the phone to them going round in circles with constant faults. The most unreliable / slow broadband I've ever had. When it does work I only average 5mb and end up using my phones 3G as a hotspot for my computer instead as it's faster and more reliable. I am trying to get out of my contract early but now BT are failing to make scheduled calls to me and failing to provide me with a deadlock letter. I am now having to go legal. I advise you all to leave BT as soon as you can. Disgusting customer service / appalling products.

Its a pity you did not visit this forum earlier, as am sure that things would have been sorted out long ago.
I still think its worth passing your details on to DavidM, as he is really good at sorting things out, and you have nothing to lose, as the team take personal ownership of your problem, giving you one point of contact.
It would only take a moment to submit the form, and at least DavidM can take a look and see where things have gone wrong, and put things right. There have been very good outcomes for customers following this route.

BT is the worst company I have ever dealt with - c...

I need all my composure whilst writing this post to avoid using bad language because frankly I wish to mutilate the idiot(s) responsible for the utterly woeful customer experience I continue to have with BT and it's wretched call centre. Searching the web I see there is a multitude of human beings who continue to be driven mad by this company. If you are one of them reading this then it may be a small consolation for you to know that I work in mainstream media in the UK and propose to do as much as I can to bring the rank incompetencies of BT out into the open and to a wider public but also to name those individuals responsible other than Mr Warren Buckley.
My story is a simple one. On 8th June there was a very strong electrical storm where I live. The power flickered on and off many times. After this caller display stopped working. You probably don't need me to tell you what happened next other than two months later I am still stuck in the Groundhog Day that is the BT caller centre. So far I have had 18 texts in two months saying the problem has been fixed. It hasn't. I have had two engineers visit, both of whom were sent to my house for the wrong reasons and had no experience in caller display issues. I have also had numerous promises made by BT call centre operatives saying they will call me back but they haven't. When I asked to complain to a supervisor she said she would ring me back within 24 hours as she accepted the situation was not acceptable but even she hasn't called back!. When I made formal complaint a Mr Colin Francies emailed to say he would ring but he didn't either.
If you are of a technical bent I have been through the old *#234# routine a million times. Similarly BT has cancelled caller display and then reinstated it 24/48 hours later but still caller display does not work (it has done this 5 different times now).
I bought a new digital phone (this means I now have 3 different types of phone in the house and all don't have caller display). The BT engineer placed this new BT phone into the master test socket and still caller display did not work. He said it is a software issue somewhere in a BT computer but that's as fas as he could help. He also replaced the test socket for me just in case it was that and tested those ADSL things that you plug your phone and router into.
Every time I call the BT call centre I have to start from scratch because I can never speak to the previous person who dealt with my call. Each time the person simply says they will cancel caller display and get it re-instated but I tell them this doesn't work. They then say that they will call me back in a few days to see if it has worked and if not they will book an engineer. Only THEY DON'T phone back!!! I write their names down but when I ring because nobody has rung me back no one knows who these people are and I have to start from square one again.
Sorry this is rambling but I really need some help here either from someone who can help me technically or someone who can suggest what I need to do next to get an answer from BT. I have no problem with turning up to BT's headquarters and staging some kiind of sit in and thereby getting some media attention but I'd rather get the thing sorted to be honest before resorting to those tactics.
Posting this message on this forum is my last hope. Thank you in advance if you are able to offer up any help that results in my blood pressure diminishing and me ceasing to have dreams of sharpening knives in front of BT executives!!! Your instinct is always to have a go at the poor Indian person answering the call but frankly they are doubtless paid very little, work long hours, and are clearly limited to using certain phrases. It is disgusting that BT uses these people as frontline troops to soak up the anger of the British public without giving them the training or wherewithal to solve the technical problems that undoubtedly occur given the size of BT.
Well....I'm about to press 'post' now and I just hope against hope that someone helpful will be able to reply to me...

Rang BT's Head Office to find out the proceedure for complaints because, regardless of how difficult my problem is technically to resolve, I believe it is inherent in the culture of BT's call centre in India to at best over promise to phone you back and at worst deliberately mislead you by saying they will phone you back by a set date but they never will. This is an invidious approach to customer service and I propose to pursue it with vigour.
BT's Head Office gave me another number to call - 0800 800 150. I was told this was the number to speak to a human being to put a complaint in about promised calls not materialising. After pressing the various options I got through quickly to a lady based in Milton Kenyes who was very helpful. She told me that when you phone this number it is pot luck as to whether your call gets put through to Milton Keynes, India, Scotland or Warrington (her words) so with that knowledge you might want to put the phone down if you ring it and get through to India and have another go by redialling.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have lodged my complaint with her, she was most helpful, and I have a direct number to phone with a PIN number to enter that gets me not to her direct but at least to her team who will now deal with my complaint.
I see on the text they sent me that this is a Priority Care Team. Well, a promising start. They say they'll have news for me by the end of next week.
Thought I'd pass the info above on re different telephone numbers because up until this point I had only been dialling India and using the online email complaints proceedure via the BT website. The Milton Keynes office accessible via that number above seemed far more on it on first impressions. In fact she was surprised that it had taken me ten weeks to finally put a complaint in when most people complain after 6/7 attempts at phoning the call centre (I've rung over 20 times).
Also - for anyone with caller display issues - I was told that the electric storms in June saw a rise in caller display issues around the country and BT are still addressing them. That's the first time in ten weeks that someobody has told me that and although it's a pain I wish they had said that to begin with because you end up banging your head against a brick wall and going mad thinking nobody will ever listen to you!

Re: BT is the worst company I have ever dealt with...

Guys if you listen to my story you would feel your problems do not exist.
I got an offer from sky to come back to sky and I took it at the start of this month.
I had a BT line and wanted to use it for calls on ongoing basis . I wanted to keep my BT service . I also liked the smart talk app.
I had virgin TV and Fibre broadband and the phone that come with it which I never used.
Now Sky promised me I can keep my virgin number and gave an installation date of 20 sep.
11 sep recieved a call from Virgin checking if I m switching to another supplier. I said yes. I was out of contract for virgin and had
given 30 days notice also. They said my account would close at end of month.
I recieved a call from BT checking if I am switching my phone to another provider. I said no. They said no worries you will stay with BT.
Come 19 th my BT line stopped.! When I dialled 150 ( yes that worked) it went to sky. I asked the advisor have they taken over my BT line. They said no and my sky talk service can only be active next day and that too they are taking over my virgin number.
I recieved a mail from BT at 9.15 PM on 19 sep saying if I did not contact them by mid afternoon of 19 sep my service will stop and would move to another company ! I called BT and I had already lost my BT number. They apologised but promised they can rectify this next day as another dept that can do it closed.
Next day I called BT and said I want my number back and BT service back, they said all done and will be back by evening.
The same day a open reach engineer came and checked the line and said sky made wrong order. They should have provided a new line and ported virgin number on it. Instead they had taken BT line and ordered renumber to put virgin number on top.
So open reach engineer did not install BB since the order was on a different number! I called sky while open reach engineer was on and they agreed the engineer has to go back and they would sort it out. My case was assigned to erroneous take over team and a special agent was assigned. The lady called me next day promised everything would be set right all I had to do was call BT and ask them to do a Working line take over and sky would cooperate and work with BT to get my BT number back. Then sky would do a new line provide and give me broadband . Till the nothing can be done ! I called BT again and said I want my number back and sky has said they will cooperate. BT guy took 12 month line rental saver payment and said all done and service will be back in 3 days!
I called sky to inform, they said BT may not be able to do it so quick call them and check.
I called BT again and they said order had failed and it has to be transfer in order. They placed another order.
Next day I called BT and checked how is the progress they said they hd refunded my money and a specialist team is now on the case and nothing can be done !
Frustrated I called sky about 10 times in last 4 days to get BB installed now on the line they have taken over from BT.
I gave up trying to get BT service back. Now 3 orders of sky BB. Have failed and latest today they gave me a engineer appointment of 7 October. When I checked order progress online it showed it is delayed and was in red !
Called the specialist team at sky, no one wanted to take my call and the front desk operator said they will let me know when there is some update. The case manger assigned to me is due back in office only on Friday !
My virgin broadband service is to stop month end and sky may not get their act together at least till 10 Oct by looks of it!
So much for customer service,ofcom regulations and two big companies investing millions on their IT.
BT were the most callous ones. Could not be bothered to talk or understand the problem,. Sky folks are at least promising to sort out ! Fingers crossed.

Latest updates-
BT tried few times to place order for getting phone service back.all failed.
I even got a new welcome letter, new account number etc only to find they all failed.
They refunded money twice and finally told me a specialist team will come back in 10 days.
I had no option to accept my fate and get my broad band installed on this erroneously taken over line by sky which BT allowed against my instructions confirmed on a call with BT on 11th sep.
I wrote to BT asking for compensation. Here is the update email to BT I wrote again today.
Customer By Email (Ravi Bikkannavar) 07/10/2013 12:40 PM
Some one called me today at about 11.35 am and started the argument that I need to talk to open reach and sky because they made a mistake in taking over my BT line.
I never wanted my BT line and account to go! I had confirmed this on phone with BT on 11 sep again when I was promised that my account would not go anywhere .
This agent who called me today kept telling me that on 19 sep Sky requested again to take over the BT line and this was a second request . And BT agreed to it on same day ! Why did you do that?
She would not accept this as BT mistake .
I have lost my BT service and BT number because of mistake by BT
After 19 sep I had contacted BT so many times and couple of orders were placed to reinstate my account and amount of advance line rental charged on my account and refunded because the orders failed . Finally they told me a specialist team would look into this and come back to me. I was left by BT without a service .
Now I asking for compensation for removing my account without my consent , making me loose my phone number and failing to reinstate my account in timely manner .
Your agent today simply disconnected the call.

Skype is the worst company I have ever dealt with

I purchased a subscription to Skype to call 1 specific number in Japan, my in-laws number where my wife and son live while we are separated for a year because of my job, however when I looked at my credit card I was double charged. I contacted my credit card company who reversed the second charge. Skype took that to mean that the one number I called in is fraudulent. In fact this is what they said
“Much as wish to assist but we cannot unblock the since due to an increased number of fraudulent calls to that number”
I asked for a refund but because the annual plan had used 128 minutes since the annual plan started on 8/25 I cannot get a refund either. xxxxxxxxxxxx

I understand. I had credit in my account (in the past) but I received an e-mail telling me if I did not use it at the 1 year mark I would lose it so I made a quick call so as not to lose the money. As far as your questions is concerned I am unsure. I wish I could help you.

BT are thr worst company I have ever dealt with.

Had a new telephone line and Infinity 2 installed on the 21st of May. I have had nothing but problems with the broadband speed and stability. When my new BT phone the BT6500 arrived the problems increased to the phone line and the phone itself.
Five engineers over a three week period.. many ten's of line checks run .. everytime I was told there where no faults on my line. When the fifth engineer came out he not only found one fault but two on my line, he was here over 3 hours nearly 4 in total and had to go fetch another engineer to help him with the fault. Once the line fault got fixed then the broadband speed went down to ADSL 2 speeds.
After over 1 hour in que's last night and being passed from pillow to post with no sign of my issue even being resolved I have no had it.
The Indian call centre agents actually seem to care more than the UK call centre staff who think that by just talking to you they are doing you a service above and beyond their role. Sadly the tech support from India is shocking with a tech 2 Indian tech telling me to restart my HH4 and Modem and then saying he needed to send out another (the 6th) engineer.
The phone speaker doesnt work properly so if you put it on hands free you get a burst of sound then it goes quite for 2 seconds then another burst of sound then quite again. BT gave me a new number that has daily calls from debt collectors looking for two different people. A BT advisor told me to tell them I was signed up to the TPS and this would stop them. I did and it didnt so they also tell you lies.
I have allowed BT every single chance to resolve this issue which they have not. I spoke to someone from the cancellation team last night who asked me to give BT one last chance.. He told me he would get in touch with the tech department and would get my issue resolved. After 45 mins in a que he came back and told me that the first tech agent he spoke to had given him a second number to call to get through to the tech 2 team. He said he was sorry but I would need to hold the line again, ten minutes later he came back and said he was putting me through to a tech 2 agent. The line went quite for a few seconds then I could hear people talking in the background. I said hello and then the phone started to ring and when it answered an automated voice told me to input my number, I did this then it said I was in a que for an advisor. All together I was in a que for over an hour.
I have now stopped my direct debit and will call the cancellation today when it opens. I am going to record the conversation when I tell them to cancel. The customer service I have had from BT since the 21st of May until last night has been terrible, they try their hardest to fobb you off instead of using that energy to help you they just want to pass you about.
THANKS TO BT FORUMS .. The best advice and friendly help I have had is from these forums themselfs. Run mostly by other memebers of the public and not BT. Thank you all for the advice you gave me in trying to resolve my issues.

Hi
If you have had a line fault it could take upto 10 (although normally only 3) days for your broadband speed to get back to normal so really you only need to be patient and try to avoid switching the router off and on.
I assume that if you are going to move your phone service that you will be moving to a cable company as I am sure that you know that if just by moving from BT (Retail) and go to sky, plusnet, postoffice, talk talk, to name a few. They all still use the openreach cabling network and the chances are you will still get allocated your same pair of wires from the telephone exchange.

The worst company i have ever had to deal with.

on the 9th of may 2013 i tried to order bt infinity 2 with unlimited tv and unlimited phone calls,i tried to order online to be eligible for the £50 sainsburys voucher but when i went to place the order i kept getting an internal server error from the website.
i had to then ring bt up and explain about the error and this led to the order being placed over the phone.about a week later it dawned on me that i might not be eligible for the voucher so i rang bt to enquire where i stood with it,i was told that i wasnt eligible for the voucher and the only way was to cancel that order and place a new one online.this was done over the phone on the 22nd of may.i was told by the guy that cancelled the order i would have to wait 24 hours for the existing order to clear off bt,s system before i could place a new one.i waited until the 23rd of may and tried to place a new order online to no avail.
i got a message that read like this....as there is ongoing work at your exchange your new technology is being installed,no orders can be placed until this work is complete.
i rang bt and explained what happened and the girl said this was because the engineer from bt openreach was still booked to install my infinity2 on the 31,st of may which was the original orders installation date,until this was cleared off thier system i couldnt place a new order,she would personally speak to bt openreach and get it removed and i should be able to re-order online within the hour.
i tried to re-order an hour later with success.order in place,email confirming order with a ref number,in the email it says if you havent had a confirmation email or letter within 5 days of the 23rd then ring us with the ref number.
28th i ring bt with the ref number and i get told that no orders are on my account and no evidence of that ref number on my account,this could be due to an existing order still being on the system and until its removed you cant order anything from bt,by now im feeling a bit miffed as my sky is cancelled and my broadband is cancelled and time is running out.the girl now says she will go to order management and get whatever is on my account removed and it would happen within 24 hours (1.pm 28th may phonecall) and she would ring me backto place a new order and also she would get the order fast-tracked as its thier fault and it would speed the installation up within 3 days so im expecting a phonecall before 1pm on the 29th may,no phonecall so i leave it until 3.30 pm and ring bt,a lady answers and looks at the notes on my account,apologises for the girl not calling me back and says she will personally get it removed off my account within half an hour and promises to ring me back at 4.30pm to place a new order.5pm no phonecall so i rang again and the first thing say to the lady that answers is this is the last time i will ring bt ever,she apologised for whatever was wrong and hopes she can help,i explain everything that happened and she looks at the notes on my account,advises me that the item what was still on my account was down to be removed and should go off my account today(29th) and all i could do was wait for a phonecall to tell me it has been removed.
one word
laughable.
obviously bt dont want my £70 a month so it will be a phonecall to sky tomorrow to reinstate my tv and broadband.

If you do go with Sky don't forget to cancel the BT order or you might end up with them billing you for the install.

The worst service I have ever had with apple.

Ok, about a week ago my ipod mini started to show very obvious signs of hard drive failure. I now know this is very common with ipod minis. I took this ipod to the apple store in victoria gardens, and got an appoitment at the genius bar. I have never seen in my life such poor management. They tried to find every reason in the world to not replace my ipod with a new ipod. Not REFURBISHED new. I do not settle for refurbished parts. Now it states in they're warranty that I have three choices. 1 replace the ipod with a new one. 2 refund money. Or 3 get a refurbished ipod sent to my home. I of course wanted my money back because i don't want this problem to happen again. Refurbished parts are crap! My ipod is still under warranty and I demanded the money. Apple said we choose what option you get but no where does it say on they're warranty they choose. I argued with the store for almost 2 hours but they would not budge. I want to know if They should have given me my money back or is this a common issue with apple? All I know is that Next weekend I'm probly going to be potitioning outside apples door. And if this problem is not resolved I will never deal with apple again. I have also reported them to the better business bureau for inspection.

"Apple said we choose what option you get but no where does it say on they're warranty they choose".
No? This is from the warranty. I've highlighted in bold the 3 words you seem to have missed.
"If a defect arises and a valid claim is received by Apple within the Warranty Period, at its option, Apple will (1) repair the product at no charge, using new or refurbished replacement parts, (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (3) refund the purchase price of the product."

Comcast might possibly be the dumbest company I've ever dealt with.

After telling me for over a month that my address was serviceable and me purchasing a 130$ cable/modem (that I now can't return), I was told by Comcast that my house was unserviceable and that if I wanted to have their services I would have to pay 735$ out of pocket for them to allow cable/internet out to my address. After being a 5 year Comcast customer in which I have given them thousands of dollars, you think a multiBILLION dollar company might say "hmm, I think we can afford 735$ to keep a customer", considering I had planned to stay for years. But thanks Comcast for making my decision to leave easy for me, you guys are the best....at being the worst

THE WORST EXPERIENCE I've ever had with a phone co...

So, where do I start. I will give you a summary to start with...
Bought an L920 from EE in late December and took it in to repair mid January. Got it back today with original problems still present plus a whole load of scratches and dents in the body and screen. Poor customer service from EE throughout the whole process.
Now for a more in depth explanation.
Bought an £330 L920 on PAYG on 24th Dec from an EE store in Cardiff. Actually I bought two, one for me and one for my brother (which is pretty much problem free). I was happy with the phone for the first week until I noticed a few problems while comparing it to my brother's.
The first problem was the bezel not sitting flush with the screen on the left hand side. There is a gap spanning approx 1mm and a noticeable bulge halfway down the screen, where the gap is the widest. I did notice this a couple days in but thought nothing of it as it wasn't emphasised by the collection of dust and was so excited about having the phone that I didn't want to have to deal with taking it back in. Over the course of just over 2 weeks before taking in for repair, the build up of dust was very annoying and unsightly.
Another problem with the screen is that the whole display doesnt sit flush with the body and the raised lip can be seen by eye and felt. It is easily noticeable. Not only does it not sit flush, when pressing down on the screen you can see the whole screen sink into the body. This problem was not noticed until the days leading up to me taking it in for repair.
There is light leaking into the screen from the search button. This is easily seen with a black screen.
There was creaking on the bottom left and top left of the body, which got very irritating and non-associative of a supposed premium handset. If it was a cheap handset I would feel more comfortable with this problem and just put up with it.
Into the second week I noticed that there was the dust under the front facing camera. I did blow into the ear piece a few times and it did seem to move the dust, but reappeared almost instantly. This was the last straw, I couldn't ignore the problems anymore as they were constantly playing on my mind everytime I picked up the phone.
Hardware problems aside I had a few freezes and crashes here and there where I had to reset the phone.
Took it to the EE store in Leicester as this is one of the closest stores to Market Harborough. The fare was £10 by train and had to do this twice. I know this may seem petty but it was £20 that I didn't need to spend if I wasn't given a faulty phone. Took it in for repair on the Sat 13th Jan and was told that the turnaround for repairs is usually a week (2 weeks at most) and that it was likely I could pick it up the following weekend. I was surprised by this and took it with a pinch of salt.
I described most of the problems, the only problem I omitted was the freezing and crashing as its the OS which is I assume a Windows problem.
At the time of speaking with the EE rep I was told that Nokia would be dealing with this repair from thereonin and I could visit their site to track the repair. This was inaccurate as it was sent to EE's repair centre. I discovered this after posting a problem on this forum in regards to going 9 days without any update. He made it explicitly clear that if I wanted any updates I was to go through the Nokia site not EE as he wouldn't be able to tell me anything that the Nokia tracking service couldn't. Anyway after finding out it was with EE's repair centre I proceeded to try contacting them. Near impossible to get through. Phoning numerous times every hour their lines were constantly busy and they do not give you the option of waiting in a queue (I think if it is above a certain volume). From about 20th Feb (after discovering it was with EE not Nokia) to today Tues 5th Feb I was only able to get through twice. I must have called them in excess of 100 times.
The two occasions I did get through I was greeted with incompetence. Unhelpful in all respects. The second time I got through the lady over the phone basically lied to me. She told me that the problems I had listed in the report were fixed and that it would be dispatched by the end of the day. This was Thurs 31st Jan and I received it today Tues 5th Feb. 6 days to post within the UK? I'd already waited over 3 weeks so what the hell what's another couple days on top. I was reassured that the handset would not leave the repair centre without the repairs being addressed and if it didn't pass their strict quality control standards. Load of b*******!
Went to EE Leicester after work this evening and things just didn't go to plan. At the first instance I had problems with the manner in which I was dealt with but we soon made amends and this leads me to THE MAIN PROBLEM.
After waiting over 3 weeks to get my phone back from repair I was shocked and utterly disappointed as soon as I laid my eyes on it. Same bulge and gap in the body, same sinking screen, same light leakage, different dust in the FFC and with added extras i.e. scratches and dents around bezel and edge of body. And of all the things for them to repair they stopped the creaking!
Was offered unacceptable solutions, the only acceptable solution in my eyes is to get a brand new handset from back store. I bought the phone especially for its camera performance (which I'm lukewarm about anyway and I swear is producing softer shots post repair) with the intent of bringing it on holiday to take some beautiful shots.
The first solution was to leave the phone there and have it sent back to the repair centre. No way was I giving my phone back to them. It would probably come back with a cracked screen.
Second was to take it up with Nokia. So Nokia what can you do for me? Will I get a new phone by 23rd Feb so I can take it on holiday with me where I will be proposing to my girlfriend???
Sorry the stupidly long post but I need something done. Now
Also forget to mention that the metal Nokia camera plate on the back is not flush with the body. I don't know if this is bad design but the raised lip is annoying when holding it in hand.

The offer from EE was presumably to fix the phone , which they are entitled to do, you turned it down.
You can either go back to them and take up their offer to repair or you can try the Nokia warranty which will involve you contacting Nokia direct either by taking it to an authorised/approved Nokia care centre or submitting an online claim under the warranty to Nokia and following whatever instructions they issue for sending the phone to them.
You have not so far contacted Nokia as you have dealt only with EE.
I'm surprised the EE assistant told you the phone was being sent to Nokia rather than their inhouse technicians although I think that was simply a mistake on the assistant's part.
How did you get a PAYG phone from EE? I thought EE were offering contracts only.
So far as time scales EE don't post phones backwards and forwards on an individual basis. The shops use courier services and the frequency of deliveries and collections will depend on the number of shops in a town and the level of goods going back and forth.

HP is the worst company I have had to deal with ever.

About a month and a half ago my computer broke due to a botched BIOS update. I sent it in to get it repaired under warranty, and it took them roughly a month to get it back to me (even though they said it would be back in 5-6 business days). When I finally did get it back I turn it on only to find that it had not been fixed entirely. Again I sent it in (after dealing with extremely rude servicepeople) and they have been terrible about shipping it back. They said it shipped last Friday (the 11th) and that it would be two day shipping, and it still has not arrived. Upon asking if I could have it shipped to a different address as I will not have access to my current one for the next 10 days they were again unhelpful and rude.
I will never buy an HP product again.

Have to agree with you, Hp seems real happy to take your money but does not follow up with customer care. I bought my laptop 2 years ago. The disc tray for the cd drive is stamped with a blu-ray logo on it leading me to believe that it was indeed a blu-ray player. I have not used it because I have another blu-ray player in the house and have'nt needed to. When my other player died on me I attempted to use my laptop. It didnt work. I took it in for repair and was informed that the blu-ray was not part of the specifications of the computer and would not be fixed because of it. I called Hp and was told that they would call me back with a solution within 48 hrs. I waited 3 weeks with no call. I called again and was told that because the computer did not have the blu-ray player included on the specifications, even tho it is stamped on the computer itself, they would not fix my problem. I also inquired as to how they thought it was proper buisness practice to stamp the product with a feature it did not have. I should tell you that I am downplaying the rudeness of the service rep at this time. He was apparently a supervisor named Shawn. He would not give me his ID number so I could complain about his handeling of the problem and would not allow me to speak to anyone higher than him either. At one point in the conversation he asked me if they had stamped Jessica Simpson on the product would I really expect Jessica Simpson to come with it? He also informed me that I was just one computer amongst the millions they sell and therfore not a big concenr from their stand point. Needless to say I was quite upset at this point, I informed him that I was not just one computer that had four HP computers in my home and I didnt think the cost of one Blu-ray player was worth the hassle they were giving me. He then hung up on me. I then called another service number and was informed that a service " manager" would contact me within 24 hours. To my surprise they called me just under two hours later. This manager, after having to retell the entire story to him, held the company line and informed me that because the computer was obsolete they would not install the missing Blu-ray player and even went as far to hint that I had changed the player in it. He also reconfirmed that because it was not on the written specifications they would not replace it even if it was new. So word to the wise if your buying an HP product, which I would not recommend, be sure to look at the online specifications of the computer before you buy it. Apparently Hp considers it ok to stamp the product with features it does not actually have and will not back their product once you pay for it. They will never get another penny of mine.

Will the old iMovie 08 work with lion? IMovie 11 is a complete disaster. The worst update I have ever seen!

The worst software I have ever used

I have an Ipod Nano 4gb which was a birthday present back in October. Looking through this forum I see that I'm not the only one having problems.
My conclusion is that although the ipod is brilliant the software to get tunes onto it is the worst I have ever come acrossIt's so slow,it does diferent things each time it's used, it's not user freindly, it's just crap (itunes). I've heard a lot about Apple being the best computers from my experience with itunes I would need a lot of convincing.
Very dissatisfied, come on Apple show us what you can do with an updated version of Itunes that is both useable and friendly, we shouldn't have to rely on those on the forum to put our problems right

I have to agree with Mitch here. iTunes is one of the easiest and most user friendly pieces of software I have ever used, and that's my expereince on both Windows and a Mac.
Maybe if you asked a question of the many knowledgeable folks here, you would get some help?

Yeah, I know what you mean. The tyres on my Mercedes as supplied by the manufacturer were poor. Must mean my car is garbage huh?

The worst company I have ever dealt with.
