Not in my experience. It's kind of amazing when you get far enough to actually open a ticket. Usually I get one or more of the following, in random order - This is the wrong place, I'll transfer you - This is the wrong place, I'm not sure where the right place is <click> - You're sending the traffic to the wrong place. It should go to XXX, but XXX says it should go to YYY. - huh. You're right, I'll open a ticket - You opened a ticket? I can't find any record of it. - Yes, I see your ticket. It doesn't look like anyone's looked at it yet. Generally smaller places seem to be more responsive. There was also a time when once you got to know someone at a remote tandem you could just call them directly and work the problem. Not so anymore. I've also heard stories of staffing issues (your ticket hasn't been looked at because there's not one at the midwest desk today), etc. but who knows.

Are any of the larger operators on the other side of a tandem switch worth a darn to get support on a current issue through?
I put in a ticket with Frontier (tandem operator), but almost all of the time, they end up just saying that they opened a ticket with the operator on the other side (which I already knew had problems) and then wait for resolution. For my troubles, I get to wait another several hours.
