RE: Comcast Support (from NANOG Digest, Vol 84, Issue 23)

No, it was Comcast. In December, it was to get him to pay his bill.  In 
January, it was the same and in a chat with their support, they confirmed it's 
my Ford number on his account, but it's a guy's account and not at Ford's world 
headquarters, of course.  They said they'd take my number off, which they 
didn't do.  yesterday, they called to get their equipment back and I lost it on 
them.  I had a support chat, then this post, then they answered my live 
journal, then executive support called me to confirm they were removing my 
phone number.  I only really was concerned because my medical records were 
stolen and sold, a few years ago, so my social, and old DL and my ford phone 
number, were in there.  

They lost what could have been a potential customer by harassing me.  if I had 
been stealing the service, calling me would not have helped but since I wasn't, 
they just pissed off a uverse (and potential future) Comcast client

 Real winners.  And yes, I've been saving the chats with support.  

Is it actually Comcast calling or is it just a debt collector saying they are 
Comcast? We have been getting at about a call a day for the past 5+ years 
looking for a Fred Sepp that skipped out on a $300 water bill. Each time they 
say they won't call back, each time they sell the account to someone else. 
They'll probably still be looking for him in another 5 years.

Simple, one simply does not conduct business email over an AOL account.

This is what I've been telling several of my customers about their contacts for 
a while now.

RIPE-631: IPv6 Troubleshooting for Residential ISP Helpdesks

2015-02-25 Thread Jason Fesler
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-631

We hope anyone deploying IPv6, and consequently staffing a help desk,
to find this document useful.  Please feel free to borrow and adapt it
for your organization's needs.

I'm sharing it here on NANOG because this document is not RIPE region specific.

Disclaimer: this documents the use of http://test-ipv6.com/helpdesk -
which I'm perhaps a bit biased about.  That said, the bulk of the body
of this work is coming from the community at large.

Multiple Spanning Tree Instance 0

We are planning a migration from Rapid PVST+ to Multiple Spanning Tree to 
better support a mixed vendor environment.  My question today is about MST 
Instance 0.  In practice do you map any VLANs there other than VLAN 1?

I can assure you ATT and Verizon have done equally bizarre, stupid, and
