ISP contact centers handle customers who view internet service as a utility: they expect it to work, and they call only when it doesn't. Every inbound call represents a failure: a failure of the network, the billing system, the self-service tools, or the installation process. The CX challenge is resolving technical issues remotely while managing the frustration of customers who feel they're paying for a service that isn't delivered.
