It was sad — 25 comes from real world experience — on hold for 45 minutes (3 different occasions), with the same recorded “your call is important to us” message coming up every minute and a half. Realize this may be generous, but I figured after I’d heard that 25 times, the company’s credibility had officially hit rock bottom…
That’s why I dropped Comcast. I had a problem and was on hold for an hour. I never got anyone, and I had to leave. This was after my bill increased for 6 months in a row, for no discernible reason. As soon as I could call back, I called the disconnect line and got someone immediately. They were very willing to listen to me then. I was done.
If you want to feel valued, never call: AOL, Sprint, AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, any credit card company, any airline, Dell, well…maybe you should just put the phone down. Sad truth: No one cares about consumers anymore.
About once a week I get calls from a company and immediately after saying ‘Hello’ I hear you’re call is important to us please hold for the next…blah blah blah and im like What?! You called me!
Bet you love FedEx
Psh, FedEx. Try UPS when you need a package by the end of the week.
Sad for you if you hear that 25 times. I would think it would be steeper.

Found a kindred spirit here that inspired me as well…
Genius.

I would divide the x-axis marks by 5, but other than that, so true!
yes Ron Pork is right, this should definitely be nonlinear…
