id imagine its pretty chaotic since they are dealing with the effects of a natural disaster, assuming your call was routed to india.

edit: guess not.

edit 2: eh, maybe.

PcMag newest issue. Dell is horrible in customer service. They complained they cannot understand english very well in India and it is difficult to understand what is going on. As for technical support they read off a sheet and the magazine said they probably have very limited knowledge of the problem. A call to someone in the U.S solved the problem in a matter of minutes.

Newest issue of Pcmag. Read it today at the library.

You are screwed

never ever heard that. They did open some US call center for business/corporate customers but Dell's call center was always firmly rooted in India

It is disturbing you have a problem with your router that can't be fixed.
You couldn't goggle an answer?
Or ask ATOT?
Or find answer at other forums?

YIKES!!

Dell business support was moved back to the US from India because of the bad service. Dell home support remained in India because of cost savings.

If you happen to be a Dell business customer with gold support your call will be answered in less than 5 minutes by someone in Texas. If you don't happen to be one of those people, haha!
