In the last 2 months, I've had to call Customer Service twice. I always called during the weekday AND always ask for Technical support and received a domestic CSR. In both cases, exceptional service and support.
I recently called about my Sprint Phone (I know, not Satellite related) on a weekend and ended up in India...
From what I have read, most companies are moving to 'Follow the Sun' customer support where daytime occurs in the US and overnight occurs off-shore.
If you can wait, always try for daytime calls and during the week I would think too.
