Call center executive: Good afternoon. I am calling for Global Internet Services. Am I speaking to Rakesh Gupta?

Customer: Yes. This is Rakesh.

Executive: Sir, as per the records available to me, you had requested that your internet services be resumed, effective July 21. Is that right?

Customer: Yes, but the services hadn’t been resumed even by yesterday!

Executive: That is because we were facing some technical issues at our end. I would like to apologize for the delay. Anyway, the technical issue has been taken care of, and your services have been resumed. I would request you to kindly check your internet reception and confirm that the service is working at your end.

Customer: Do you want me to confirm it now?

Executive: Yes, if that is okay with you. I will hold the call.

Customer: Okay. Give me a few minutes.

Executive: Sure, sir.

Customer: Yes, the internet is working now.

Executive: Is the internet speed good? Kindly run a search on any search engine and let me know.

Customer: One moment. Yes, the speed is also perfect.

Executive: Thanks for the confirmation. Once again, I would like to apologize for the delay and wish to inform you that you will be billed for the services starting today.
