If your other thread isn't locked, I'd recommend putting this there, because it's completely irrelevant to the average customer with average problems. This is something that has been going on for a very long time, and if this is from a recent call they're probably threatening to charge you for a service trip because they've been out so many times. You probably shouldn't leave out your epic thread and its experiences from this thread.
By the way, if my VOiP is down/busy/etc. I believe that it still goes to the answering service regardless. YMMV.
Cogeco techs have been out twice, once on the original call but couldn't find anything, the second time to simply replace the modem. Both calls were very short calls. Three other calls placed by Cogeco phone support who recognized a problem from there end resulted in techs cancelling the call and simply refusing to show up saying the problem was to difficult for them to solve or it is a congestion issue or a node split issue. I would be more than willing and very happy to pay for a service call if someone could just solve it. But then again, perhaps it's beyond Cogeco and all cable providers to maintain a consistent internet line quality to support voip 99% of the time?
