This is what J. Dolan and Rutledge SHOULD have done on Monday 2/28 ... leave the website up and running but remove the ability to order new service via the website. Instead, they had the webmaster completely destroy the value of the website (and thus hurt the goodwill/marketing potential of the business as a whole) by putting up the childish "VOOM is no longer taking customer orders and will shut down by the end of March."
Has nothing to do with updating the page and nothing to do with new install offers. Website orders are apparently processed by VOOM employees, while the toll free phone numbers are staffed by a contractor's employees. VOOM can't immediately cancel its contract for telephone customer service, and probably there is at least a 30 day, if not 60 or 90 day, cancellation notice requirement. So CVC/VOOM is going to have to pay for the telephone CSR's through and past the end of March into April, and might as well have them take phone calls for now while the future of VOOM is still uncertain.
But the website is different ... if CVC/VOOM is directly responsible for its maintenance and for website install orders, why not save some money during this uncertain period by referring potential customers to the telephone CSR's.
Also, if someone orders VOOM via the website, and there is a controversy about the order not being fulfilled because VOOM discontinues its service, CVC/VOOM can't blame it on a contractor. With the telephone customer service, CVC/VOOM always has the option of blaming something gone wrong on a third party.
