Could be worse! When we first called tech support here, the exchange was so moronic it would have been hilarious if it weren't true:

Me: "Hi. We're having trouble with our internet connection. It looks like some sites aren't reachable, and we can't seem to ping the DNS server."

Tech: "Okay, sir. that sounds more like a Microsoft Internet Explorer problem. If you like, I can give you the number to Microsoft tech support and you can contact them."

Me: "Uhh, no, see, for starters, I don't use Microsoft Internet Explorer. I'm using Firefox. And besides, if it was an IE problem, I'd still be able to reach your DNS server."

Tech: "Sir? This is a Microsoft problem, okay? You need to contact Microsoft tech support..."

Me: *shoot self*
Thats a common ISP response unfortinately
One of these days I acutally will fly to lithuainia or where ever they keep these people now adays and kill them all
