Todd, for your specific issues mentioned below, give me the tickets offlist
(I'll have someone dig through the system right now also too).  

Our new staff are coming online, but as you know the training for SRS is not
a 1 week or even 1 month process ... We've prioritized them on EMD right now
as that has been & continues to be our largest call/email driver allowing
the more senior staff to focus on the more complicated issues.  

We've had issues in the past little while not only with EMD, but also with
our support tool (Banter) which is why you've not received ticket #'s when
you've submitted requests on the occasions mentioned.  I think we've cleared
up the problems on that front & are looking towards a new ticketing system
in the future that will not only follow ITIL criteria but will also allow
you more control - not only on how you submit issues, but hopefully real
time view of the ticket status etc... 

Hutch

Hello,

Unfortunately, Hutch, the expectations are not the reality.  There is
something seriously wrong with Tucows's support system; a fact, not an
opinion, known by resellers and some at Tucows.

Over a month ago I submitted emergency requests via RWI, followed up with
phone calls (had to leave voicemail) and no action was taken; I didn't even
get a ticket number.  That is until I personally wrote Elliot expressing my
disgust at where Tucows is now as opposed to where it was some time ago.
Even then, after the CEO lit a fire under folks my issues got placed on the
backburner and were never followed up on.  I currently have three tickets -
two emergency tickets over a month old - and one follow-up ticket wondering
why my emergency issues were not addressed.  The result of that final query
was ticket numbers being sent to me from the original requests, and nothing
beyond that for a week or more.  Yes, I have called too, and sat on hold
till I hung up. The one time I actually did talk to a service rep he said he
would have to check with "back line" about my issue and get back to me.  He
never did.

Tucows - the support system, and actually some service reliability, is in a
shambles.  We, and our customers depend on you.  You're not making us look
good, and that's bad for you too.

Response?
