I'll disagree to that. A few hours ago, Netflix's tech support guided me through a completely unrelated technical issue, but the technician was highly knowledgeable in IT, security, and the workings of the Internet. Obviously, I was only chatting with him for a few minutes while my equipment was rebooting and I have a sample size of one, but I don't think it's fair to dismiss the technical capacities of people in call centers just because they work in call centers. For an issue like this, you probably need to try to talk to someone above the average tech support responder, since they are trained to how to diagnose and repair common issues, and "Netflix is blocking non-exit Tor relays" certainly isn't high on that list. -- Jesse V
