Twice I had to engage lawyers to get rid of these companies of which I have no doubt they delayed and acted intentionally, which qualifies their efforts as criminal energy.

The telecommunication business is a pain in the a##. ironically, after having tried four new private telephone-companies, I settled down with Deutsche Telekom again - and the only problem there was got solved within two hours. But for that I pay twice as much as with the cheaper competitors. Well, at some point, "cheaper" turns into "too cheap".

Having to call in pakistan to get a technician from a centre down my road is new to me, though.
I feel for you, the situation is more or less the same in italy.
Luckily now I have a naked adsl with an isp that has invested in next generation dslams (and they have their own network) and so quality is very very high.
But before, I was with small isps that were reselling Telecom Italia's bandwidth and problems were one day yes, one day no.
