Wow I am currently in a chat session online with support because my phone service has been flaky since Friday. Instead of looking into what is going on they are trying to get me to install software on my pc. I have been a customer a long time and this is the worst support I have ever dealt with. I am really disappointed and my phone service is totally dead.
We do use remote desktop type software to go in and do router troubleshooting a lot since most of our customers are not tech savvy and it's much faster to go in and look at their router settings/adjust. I'm assuming that's the software mentioned.
If you don't think things were handled well, you can always e-mail the chat info to me and I'll take a look (can look it up using date/time).
Are you still down?
Ya I will send it. He did not want to give me his name but the chat thing emailed me his name anywayQuote:

So definitely growing fast and as a result doing a lot of hiring and changing processes along the way to be more efficient.
If anyone ever notices an issue that wasn't handled in the best way, feel free to e-mail and I'll take a look.
Thanks TimQuote:

Thanks for everything you do for us Tim.
I learned that chat will result in an emailed record of it.
Never ever expected that and it sounds more formal and usefull.
I always preferred email/ticket system.
Always value to gain from threads such as these :)
Ya the email it to you feature is new. I like it. The entire chat system was redone. The guy refused to give me his name but in the chat log it lists their name instead of VOIPo like I saw on the screen.Quote:

Like was he cocky about it and refused to give name? Because I have never known VoIPo staff to do that....
A service you pay for went/was down, and you decided to go on the chat system? Call them next time?
The best support method seems to be the ticket system.Quote:

Any time I've called in, they have to contact tier 2 and I have to wait for an email response. So far it's been power cycle the device and wait 5 minutes. Still no calls out. The SAF is really dropping fast.Quote:

So it just sounds like the replacement ATA is not connecting properly?Quote:

Everything looks fine on it, but it could be a NAT issue. Different devices function differently behind routers and something may need to be adjusted in the router.Quote:

Actually I just noticed it's running an old firmware. When you plugged it up, did you let it set for 5-10 minutes to update the firmware?Quote:

I waited 5-6 minutes. I can wait up to 10 or more if you think that would help. Brandon is doing some traces now.
Just wanted to post a follow-up here to thank Tim for getting someone too look at this for me. The problem was apparently the Grandstream ATA not getting along with the 1.23 version of m0n0wall. Even though the other Linksys ATAs worked fine, the GT-502 did not like it. I upgraded to the current 1.31 of m0n0wall and it's working great.
