I originally got once routed to an excellent premium agent by chance. She had empathy for my troubles with new hires and suggested to do that next time. It have worked quite well if the call goes to oz-based call center.

After the end, maybe around 1600-2000. I don't have enough data points to say more exactly as many other factors affects also. YMMV as always.
