humanity being what it is you *could* get an unhelpful response like
that (but if it's one of my team he or she will get a thick ear
pronto!) or the ISP may have differing guidelines, but in the main
we try to help out as much as we can.  

Must agree about the humanity bit. A friend had signed up for BT
broadband with USB. After a week of that I persuaded him to get a
router instead and was 'volunteered' to help install. I had the bits
of paper from BT with settings but it would not connect. First phone
call to support got 'everything's all right at our end' type answer.
Half an hour later, I tried again. This next chap was switched on and
checked through the settings and identified the problem (wrong bit of
paper for user name / password).

My experiences with Tiscali support have been awful. Eclipse have
been terrific.

But, in part, that's how humanity works. Not everyone will go that
extra step.
