Windows OS X (version 10.9.3) is Teh™ Speediest.
That said, this has been around for a while.
Rogers also has their Home Security thing happening now...

LOL! I had to check the site out to verify. I was a little disappointed to see that you need Windows OS X. Too funny.
I'd be more than happy to give them my money for tech support, they seem competent. /s |

Re: Dear Dog: Rogers TechXpert I sure hope that Rogers highlights any terms they may have about how their "expert" can bork your computer and deny any responsibility.
[sarcasm]As the law states: you the customer are guilty, guilty, guilty for the borking because the corporation said so.[/sarcasm]
where is their Microsoft knowledge certificate? for viewing, plus their tech education stats
I do wonder if they support when someones friend gets bored and inverts the customers screen?
Or locks the toolbar on the side.
Of course there are people who use the recycle bin as their file storage, so deletion of contents would make the customer scream bloody murder. |

You folks all sound sound computer savvy, but most callers I deal with are assuredly NOT and need such a service for things unsupported. Understand clearly: all calls are timed, the moment you come on my line the clock is running as to how much time I can give you. |

Your call metrics are not our concern. Our concern is a timely, effective solution to our issue, something that 1st level support has repeatedly proven incapable of providing. And Rogers has the Hubris to offer a whole-home support option? |

LOL...that's where you're wrong. YOU clearly do NOT understand how the industry functions. |

| He's absolutely right ... Your call metrics are not the customers' concern. Your call metrics are between you and your call centre management, whilst trying to provide the customer with the service they need. Management have a very hard job understanding that concept that the number of calls per hour is not always an accurate measure of the benefit you provide the company.
Call metrics are invariably a poor mechanism to determine your ability to do the job which is to provide customer satisfaction. I've had to educate several managers in many years working for a major computer manufacturer who's no longer around, that as my skill improved I ended up with more complex calls, and more complex calls take longer to fix, even if I'm more skilled. They eventually saw the light and understood. |

Well enough, in general terms. As a CSR, want to maximize your calls per hour and calls handled per day, your call quality scores and whatever sales targets you have to meet. You want to minimize handle time, hold time, call work time and avoid any of the serious errors that will result in a failed score. I'm sure FCR percentage figures in there, and customer follow-up evaluations, etc etc etc.
But like I said, as customers, we don't care. You're getting paid, but any ineptness on your part is costing us time and money. |
