If you’ve ever thought that your choice of “on hold” content wasn’t important, consider this exchange from the Comcast customer forum. The point here is, people ARE listening! What are they saying about your company?<\/p>\n

ANNOYING MUSIC ON HOLD<\/strong>
\n10-05-2011 04:41 PM<\/p>\n

The music that Comcast plays while on hold is the most annoying music i have ever heard period!\u00a0 It is a short annoying jingle that is irritating because it plays over and over and over and over again. And we all know how long we are on hold.\u00a0 It’s almost like they do it so you’ll hang up!\u00a0 Think about that one!\u00a0 Who agrees with me?<\/p>\n

The techs have to listen to that same horrible music. Imagine doing it for several hours every single day. The “tune” is still stuck in my head. blah.<\/p>\n

They could turn the music off and you listen to nothing…no matter what music they pick, no matter what ads they run on hold someone will complain about it.\u00a0 Six in one and half a dozen in the other…<\/p>\n

Not true…..didn’t you ever hear the saying , “silence is golden”.<\/p>\n

The thing about silence is you wonder if you are still connected. At least with the music or blurbs for other services or Comcast features you know that Comcast hasn’t disconnected the call. I’ve listened to silence\u00a0on hold before and a few times did get disconnected and not know it.<\/p>\n\"Share\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
