Tech support woes
Scott Granneman, 2006-01-20

Technical support that's outsourced to foreign countries can cause frustration and have a negative impact on security when the problems remain unsolved.

After spending four hours with about a dozen different tech support persons with very strange names, the problem was still not resolved.

We have a brand new system and the first time we attempt to use the DVD CD recorder with CD-RW discs, it fails. If I had discovered this 10 days earlier, I would have shipped the whole system back.

The support persons are unable to tell us what is wrong and no matter which brand of CD-RW discs we install, they cannot be used by this machine. They work on my 7 other DELL machines, but not this one.

No one offered a solution but the last person said that since I could read and record on CD-R discs, the case will be closed.

DELL used to have great tech support. I have purchased many systems for friends with no problems. The last two systems were not shipped as I had ordered.

I will monitor DELL's progress to see if they change their way of dealing with customers, but my next systems will definitely not be DELL.
