I share your frustration.
Why? For a better customer experience of course.

I had the same type of thing once when I called the local phone company because my DSL was down. They made me disconnect the router, etc, etc, etc.

Finally the guy told me they were doing scheduled maint. in my area after first making me jump through all those hoops.
