		<description>I recently subscribed to Showtime and the experience has been absolutely appalling.  They debited my credit card five times instead of once, noone there can ever explain why, the reversal of the invoices is still outstanding after calling them everyday for 2 weeks.

You never get the same person on the phone so have to go over the problem every time you call.  They say they don't have a managing director you can talk to, and they won't put you through to anyone senior.

I have so far sent five different people there a copy of my credit card statement showing the repeat billings, have called about thirty times and sent them a dozen emails.

They don't reply.  I am canceling my credit card and subscribing to Orbit.  AVOID SHOWTIME LIKE THE PLAGUE</description>

		<description>Wow, I was talking to co-workers about getting a DSL line and Showtime was suggested.  After reading about their shabby customer service &#38; refunding to someone else's account, &#38; then telling YOU to contact that person to get your money...unbelievable!  Oh, yeah it is, this is Q8! Thanks for sharing your story.  I definately don't need to deal with more idiots in a 'customer service' department, it's bad enough I have to share the highway &#38; roads here with them!  Guess I'll be calling QualityNet instead.</description>

		<description>"He then sarcastically told me fine, he would pay me the refund from his salary. I was like whatever you want to do, do it. I just want my refund."

Good for you.  I hate this "give me pity, I don't earn much" CRAP.  Clearly if this guy made a mistake like this, he SHOULD be financially penalised.  Stupid idiot f*cker.  F*ck Showtime.</description>

		<description>i know! I didnt even want to call him because the amount is like only KD30 but I thought it might be rude if I didn't. 

I mean you can imagine how messed up their customer support is if the COO has to interfere to fix things.</description>

		<description>We shall see how the COO does it, but the sad part is that the COO had to interfere for the fixes to be made! He shouldnt even be involved at all!</description>

		<description>This issue needs to be brought to Sheikh Hamed's attention. It is only then that some MAJOR corporate restructuring will be done!</description>

		<description>Wael, whilst you are at it, perhaps you could change that stupid policy of me having to drive out to the middle of nowhere to cancel my subscription. 

I went into that Salmiya branch, waited for 25 minutes to speak to a Customer Service Rep - only to be told that I couldn't cancel in that branch. 

Absolutely Pathetic Customer Service.</description>
