To be fair, most ISP techs are trained to start with lowest-common-denominator types who don't know their LAN from their WAN (they just loooooove me ), but that's like leaving a nickel tip for a waitress instead of just leaving nothing at all.
I make it clear from the start I'm a tech. This at least makes them apologetic about making me go through the same troubleshooting steps with them on the phone that I already did before calling them.
