Looks like my former ISP's support. I recall them pondering most perplexed over an IPConfig that showed no network connection when I called them to report that I had no network connection.They used to always insist I reboot computer and modem. Rebooting modem often did help, I always tried several times before calling. Rebooting computer never helped, and it was my Server 2003 domain controller, not a machine that I want to just reboot for no reason. When they asked me to reboot I used to say 'sure' then put the phone on my desk for 3 minutes before speaking to them again.
The current ISP appears to still have technical people in technical support. Will see how long that lasts
I do the same thing. I have had the last three ISPs insist on the same thing. I just say sure and then wait for a few minutes and then tell them nothing has changed.

I won't forget the day a Linksys CS rep hung up on me after I told him he didn't have a clue about what he was doing and I asked 3 times to speak to his supervisor.
Ha. I talked to a CSR once and asked the same question three times. Each time the CSR said " Don't be disrespecting me." To this day I am wondering how a simple question is disrespect.

It depends on the question:
"Hello, I need technical support. Do you have the IQ necessary to tie your own shoes and feed yourself breakfast?"
"Hello, I have a technical issue I need help with. Are you the kind of moron who ends up on support calls because you can't qualify for anything better paying?"
"Hello, I've got an issue with your company's product. Were you hired this morning, like the last guy I spoke to?"

Many years ago my wife and I were paying off the student loans we had with Sallie Mae. Every month we would send in our payments with one check and note detailing how the money was to be allocated. We were paying extra on the lowest balance loan first, then would roll that payment into the next lowest when it was paid off. This way we could eventually pay them off early.
Never fail, they'd apply the money to hers and not mine and then we'd get that nasty call saying we were late paying my loans. We'd fight with them to adjust the payments, which they'd do.
Started sending two checks with instructions, they'd still screw it up and apply all the money to Betty's loans then call saying my payments were late.
Finally, Betty had enough and on this particular call she immediately asked to talk to a supervisor. The dumbfounded CSR stammered a bit and then said that her supervisor was in a meeting and could she help.
Betty simply asked "Are you all morons or just trained to be that way?". Needless to say she soon had a supervisor on the phone and we didn't have any more problems with payments being misapplied every month.

The only reason I admit to seeing that movie is because of Bruce Campbell. He made that movie.

They could be. Or maybe they've outsourced? They go out of their way to force you to post questions or read FAQs without allowing you a way to contact someone with issues.

I saw that movie with the girlfriend I had at the time. She liked it, but I can't say I did. I always wondered if the fact that Elvis was her cousin had anything to do with it. 😀

The Marshall Islands, actually. That way, when the atolls finish drowning, they won't have to pay any salaries.
