This is primarily due to rises in costs in providing [...]
Don’t take my posting this video as me having a go at HP; They are just the example here. As the video starts, it points out there is nothing unusual about this support call. The guy is right, most large companies offer this kind of support. I’m posting it as a little example of the [...]
