Another thing that ticks me off is that I have a very difficult time understanding them and they me. The reason is that Sony USA, as have a lot of other companies, has outsourced their tech support to India. I've got nothing against the people of India, but they should at least find those who can speak fluent, understandable Amer. English. Otherwise, what is the point of talking to them. The other requirement should be that they actually understand the product line. They fail in both cases IMHO!
Usually if you ask to speak to someone higher up, eventually you will get someone you understand.

I don't make alot of calls, only 1 time I got Indian tech support that I couldn't understand, I think it was a dell, I asked for a manager, and guess what, I got an american.

I have spoken with knowlegable indians with good grammar and spoke perfectly though. 1 time they even spoke more eloquently that I did, if it werent that his name was indian I would have never known
