Here's a list of my notes while undergoing my 4th outage in 3 months. I've
been in the Telecom industry for over 10 years, and I am quite familiar how
trouble tickets work, escalate, etc. This'll give any prospective BA (Bad
Attitude) customer a glimpse of what you're in for when dealing with these
folks. Also...there are a few contact numbers in my notes *wink, wink*, that
may help a very frustrated person...then again maybe not..it's my 4th day of
being out of service! Good luck
