Top 10 Time Wasters

A survey of 10,000 people has revealed the worst offenders for keeping customers waiting is British Gas, often leaving callers on hold for an astonishing 45 minutes. Sky was identified as the second worst.

Others in the Top 10 are:

1. British Gas
2. Sky
3. BT
4. NTL
5. Royal Mail
6. Orange
7. HM Customs
8. NPower
9. Loyds TSB
10. O2

Do we all agree? Any firms you'd add to the list?

'Apparently', over a period of a month callers can spend more than an hour and a quarter on hold - or 15 hours a year! :eek:
