In most companies, it is not a desirable position and they have a hard time keeping good folks there, they are always looking to get away from that job and get a "better" one in the company, one that usually pays more. Take if from one who knows, it it no fun dealing with irate customers all day (or night) long either. Usually by the time they bounce around the phone tree, pushing 1 or whatever, for 10 minutes or so, they are spitting nails and it takes a while to get them calmed down so you can work on the problem.

Being shuffled around from person to person is why I changed auto insurance companies. I may pay more but at least if I call I get the same person every time. Good luck with your internet.
