My problem with overseas support is that they seemed to be sworn on pain of
death to never pass a customer on to a supervisor or some other higher up.
That may be incidental to being overseas. Though companies that are support
oriented tend to want to keep their support operations close to home,
If my mother-in-law is any example, that ones that try hardest
to blend into upper-middle class suburbia and decry all the foul
language on HBO are actually right of the Sopranos. ;
