His point is that he doesn't have dedicated support staff, but staff that do other things while not taking support calls. Your ServerPlus agents aren't going to be unboxing radios or whatever when calls aren't coming in.
That said, I still prefer ServerPlus. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Luthman" <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, March 26, 2018 9:15:40 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Serverplus Sounds like you have too many support calls.

We are at 1,000 subs I and I just did this economic model. I don’t have 24x7 support. But do have 9-9. With a well running network support calls are near nothing. I took the money I was going to pay SP and hired staff. Now I have people who do phones and other things.

Until you get about 8000 subs I doubt you can do it anywhere close to the cost that Lane can.

I have had zero complaints from my customers so far this year, so I think they are doing well. The only feedback I’ve had is customers hear our company name pronounced five different ways, even though the DT instructs the proper pronunciation. But it’s a made-up name so my customer are always confused on pronunciation themselves.

The comment about a decline is hard to address without looking at stats. Kind of like the user that calls you and vaguely says “My internet seems slow” when you have stats that show they are getting more than they are paying for. We have hired a number of new people recently because we have grown and have added a new office but as Justin said this is a slow time of the year so we also took advantage of this time to get rid of some of our weaker performers. Here are the company wide stats for the past week with some comments about them, I would stack these up against any call center in the world. Sorry if I come on strong, but as you all know this is my baby and I care a lot about it just like you do about your networks. I know we are not perfect, out of 6000 calls I am sure we made a mistake or two and I am happy to address any individual issue directly, but I am pretty proud of what we do.
