Actually, and I know this kind of experience is really subjective, but
lately I have been getting better service from residents of India via
web-based chat tools than I have been getting from residents of the US
via telephone. At the same company.
My impression as a customer is that only one of these two individuals
genuinely wanted to do or keep the job they were given, and desired to
do it well.
That's really what you should be looking for, locality is irrelevant.
