To be fair:

Anything server related they usually solve rather well.

If it's web related, I've given them solutions in the past (exact FIXED html code)
and they still couldn't solve the problem. They also never seemed to care. I'd
talk to them on the phone and the support would send me looking for windows
machines at the neighbors or whatever to get the work done.

I've stopped bothering, but I doubt that they improved any.
