I rather not deal with Tech Support. I've had to call my ISP alot when i was having issues with signal dropping on my cable modem. You know you've called your ISP too much when they pickup the phone and say your name and you know their name, plus their last name.

alright everybody is wrong.. the worst tech/customer support comes from our lovely friends at the wireless phone companies...

I personally would rather deal with an ISP than have to call Cingular..  They have you by the balls no matter what you say unlike ISPs where you can just leave...

Try calling Xbox, or linksys. No offense but I can't understand anything. They are all foreign.

I ran into this with Dell a couple of times.  The language/accent barrier is a real issue.  Some people have trouble understanding me if I'm not careful, because of my Maine accent.
