"can YOU really understand as good as when you speak with someone from your own area?"
No offense bro, but perhaps the language problem is on your end. I have noticed that those who complain about having such communication problems when talking to foreigners are quite often practically illiterate themselves. While you seem to have a reasonable grasp of english, I think even you could use a couple lesson from Hooked on Phonics, so as not to say things like "understand as good".
Also, you should learn to be a bit more open-minded and challenge your biases. If one finds so many variations of english within the different regions of the same country, whether America, Canada, or England, differences between the english of different states should be expected. Besides, I am pretty sure that there are more people who speak the Indian form of english than the American form, or any other form for that matter.
I have had to speak to the Indian tech support occasionally, especially with regard to my router and ISP support, but my experience has not been that bad. They do tend to have trouble with pronouncing names, but not numbers. Go figure. :)
