THE MOST UNHELPFUL TECHNICAL SUPPORT CHAT EVER!

Dania: Thank you for contacting AT&T Internet Services. How can I assist you?

Me: Hi, I have two questions. First, when i ordered my modem, the man said that I would receive a rebate/gift certificate for $50 to help with the cost of the modem and I was just wondering how I actually get it.

Dania: I appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Before we proceed, please provide me your telephone number on which your Internet services are activated.

Me: XXX-XXX-XXXX

Dania: Thank You! I understand that you want to know about rebate. Correct?

Me: Yes

Dania: You have reached the High Speed Internet Technical Support group. For assistance with your sales question we have help available at 1-800-288-2020 between 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday.

Me: So I should call them?

Dania: Yes. Is there anything else that I may assist you with today?

Me: I have a second question about getting my wireless connection to work.

Dania: Yes sure.

Me: The internet works when I am plugged in with the ethernet but not when I am unplugged.

Dania: May I know which modem are you using?

Me: 2Wire

Dania: For wireless related issues we have a dedicated Technical Voice Support Desk at 1-877-722-3755. Is there anything else that I may assist you with today?

Me: No
