Digizip serious problems?

Our DSL line is down, digizip's website is not working (seems like DNS problems), and they kick me off of tech support. This is in Columbus, OH. Anyone have a word to whats going on?

I am in NJ and I am down also. Called AT&T and apparently Digizip hasn't paid their bill. Unbelievable.

Are you serious? Maybe I shouldn't send my monthly payment in, if they're just gonna belly-up.

I can't send mail, or apparently get mail, through their servers. This has been going on/off/on/off for days. It's starting to piss me off. Luckily, I can still connect to the internet. Wonder when that will go down as well?

Someone from Digizip ought to post some info here...you listening, Black_Jesus????

Fortunately, I'm still up but I'm on MCI, not AT&T. Has anyone been able to contact anyone at Digizip by phone?

I've tried contacting their support multiple times, and they just hang up.

I also got the line from AT&T that they haven't paid their bill for 3 months, and they were suspeneded.

I wonder if this could signal the beginning of the end for Digizip?

as far as i know digizip has paid and it is coming back up, there was a small dispute between at&t and digizip that had to be resolved, no we're not going anywhere

that is the source of the problems for the mail also so once that is fixed everything is back to normal

Public or not, your customers should have been notified when it became apparent that the dispute could not be settled and AT&T was going to shut off your customers.

AND, it's why customers will also come to dislike Digizip; ABSOLUTELY NO COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS!!

It's inexcusable to pretend to their customers (assuming you were able to contact them at all) that they were/are having trouble with their servers, as in hardware/software, when they simply haven't paid the bandwidth bill from AT&T, or the electric bill from ConEd. When I inquired of them the problem and ETR, they made out that they were having hardware problems and had no redundancy built in to their operations. I guess it was "DUNNED"ancy, not redundancy that was the problem.

In any case, Black_Jesus has replied in the usual and customary Digizip manner; not a word of apology or explanation, unless forced. Then only a statement that things will/are getting back to normal "real soon now". The patronizing implication is that we "shouldn't worry our pretty little heads about it".

I think it is a very unprofessional way to do business. I also think that any other ISP would have had the guts to warn it's users if they were having a problem that wasn't the ISP's fault, but that might/would affect users' services. Any other ISP might also offer their subscribers at least a partial credit for the disruption and inconvenience.

I would agree with that the handling of this situation by DigiZip has been poor.

We have been using their business class DSL for our business web site, mail and business functions. We have been down now for almost 20 hours! No apology, no offer for credit? How about NO CUSTOMERS!!!

You can bet we will be shopping for a new vendor. This is ridiculous.

ross you are the single most complaining customer i have ever seen, if you dont like it, get another service, jesus no one wants to hear your whining.

im not very clear on the whole dispute but from what i gather at&t and digizip made a deal with payments, and later on at&t wanted more money sooner, there was an argument and at&t got desperate and turned off access, so we wired them the money. if you want to complain about it still being down, go call at&t because its out of our hands

Nice customer service skills on the part of the DigiZip Team!

I especially like it where you called him whiney and told him to go somewhere else.

I also like where you continually blame AT&T for shutting off the services of YOUR clients because YOU did not pay them.

That is how services work - remember - you pay for them and they continue, you stop paying and they stop. Of course, in the case of customers of DigiZip - we pay, they keep the money and we get the shaft. Nice. Fantastic. Then to add insult to injury, they use their UBER CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS to tell "ross" how awful they think he is as a CUSTOMER.

No wonder DigiZip can not pay AT&T, I would imagine that with customer service skills like those displayed here, their bottom line will be shrinking rapidly and continually - and to be sure, they deserve it!

You can kiss my a$$, dude. So, it's whining, uh? I like Digizip's service. But, I don't like their disservice to customers that is epitomized by your "don't give a shit" attitude. The fact is that Digizip does not communicate with its' subscribers via its' web-site, e-mail, this forum (or any other) re issues affecting it's rates, services, planned maintenance, outages, or even simple requests for information from subscribers in a responsive, up-front manner.

It is NOT WHINING when you are suddenly without paid for services with NO WARNING, NO SUITABLE EXCULPATORY EXPLANATION, and NO COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER UNTIL AFTER THE FACT, and NO MITIGATION OF INJURY.

You, and the management at Digizip, if you are to be believed, ought to know how that feels judging from your description of Digizip's treatment at the hands of AT&T. It's no fun being cut off from essential services your business depends on without warning or explanation, IS IT!!

But, you serve up the WHINE anyway, and conclude with a typical "screw you, take it up with some who cares" handoff about how Digizip was used and abused because it didn't pay its' bills on time by the terms of its' agreement with AT&T, or by the terms accellerating payments in the event of default on that agreement. You seriously want to represent that the company's attitude is justifiable, or that they aren't responsible for seeing service restored in a timely manner. You seriously want to state that it is Digizip's position that it is AT&T's problem and Digizip's subscribers should look to that third party, with whom we have no contractual relationship, for resolution? GET REAL!

Digizip screwed up BIGTIME, hung its' customers out to dry, lied about it, offered no apology or compensation, and now directs their customers to an outside party for resolution, and tells the customers to stop "whining" and take it, or leave it! Yeah, that's responsible business practice, and I'm just a whiner...
