Demon's Customer Service - Lack of

Demon is rapidly becoming my less than favourite broadband supplier,
and I'm not even connected yet.
I recently emailed adslservice@xxxxxxxxx requesting information about
what kind of WiFi router they recommended. I was then told to call 0845
262 0040. This no. was u/s.
I then went to their website and found the no. for 'Technical Support -
Broadband' as 0845 272 0040. This connected but after choosing this
menu option and that menu option I was forwarded to a call centre in
India. I was then told that I had called the wrong number for support
for a residential broadband package. And the girl had to repeat
everything she said due to a heavy accent I couldn't understand. Doh!!!
Then the girl said that all the nos. on the web site were wrong anyway
and that I should call an 0871... no. (which wasn't on the website).
Then I tried calling 0845 272 0040 again but without choosing any menu
options. By default I was transferred again to the call centre in
India, and again I was told I had called the wrong no. for Technical
Support for Broadband. Doh again!! Also the guy hadn't got a clue what
hardware I was getting in the package, he couldn't even find my account
details, and had even less of a clue as to which WiFi router I could
use. And this was supposed to be Technical Support???!!!!!
Now I am a brand new customer of Demon and am rapidy getting concerned
that buying into one of its broadband packages was not such a good idea
afterall - and as I said I've not even gotten connected up yet.
Before the cooling off period ends I am SERIOUSLY considering
cancelling my contract.
The hardware package also seems to be floating in the ether because it
has not yet been delivered by courier. Apparently it was sent out on
August 26; today is the 31'st. But what usually happens is that
couriers delivery to our block of flats make an attempt, fail to leave
a notification card, and then the items disappear for good. It has
happened so many times - this could be yet another case.
It seems that like most internet service providers Demon is quite happy
to take customers' money but then makes it almost impossible for
customers, especially new ones, to actually get any help.
Goodness knows what aggravation will be caused when I start using the
'service.'
