SirHumphreyAppleby:

 

It doesn't help users who need pre-sales information and want to ensure that particular requirements can be met. A simple contact form (or e-mail address) is all that is required.

 

 

I am assuming you are talking about placing orders at addresses with multiple ONTs which is fair.

 

When an RSP places an order the ONT serial number is seen by the RSP, it also shows other active ASIDS on other ports of the ONT (but not who the provider is) as well as if there are any in flight orders on the ports.

 

This information really shouldn't be visible to end users, and if Quic were going to allow you to select an ONT during the sign-up process (which I am guessing is what you want) they would need to filter out other things from being presented to you (like ASIDs of other services, inflight orders, etc)

 

The other options would be to have a "Manual Provision" button where you could provide the serial number and then Quic would order manually, again this doesn't really meet the self-service model that keeps prices down.

The problem I have/had with that Quic support form is it basically implies that you're logging a fault through to the LFC, rather than with Quic themselves, and it has the threat of payment should no fault be found

 

When I joined Quic, something was wrong with the provisioning, so I had no internet and no way of contacting them other than having to go via michaelmurfy who managed to shoulder tap someone and it started working not long after

 

The lack of support options don't bother me as I don't need them, except when its out of my control like the above example

Quic had a fun time trying to find my address in Enable Provisioning.

 

 

 

I had a massive upper hand because I remember what my actual address is in Enable Provisioning.

 

My address is written in 4 different ways. It is almost impossible to self service if you have a funky address situation.

LFCs of late have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to clean up funky addresses which is great but there is still more work to do.

I also had something wrong (they misread the go-live date) so I just replied to the provisioning email. They got back to me in 6 minutes.

Behodar: I also had something wrong (they misread the go-live date) so I just replied to the provisioning email. They got back to me in 6 minutes.

 

I think Provisioning and Billing are the 2 emails you can reply to. I've actually supplied a bit of feedback to them regarding this, logging bugs (as on not specifically with your connection but in the control panel or with features), logging general feedback and "non urgent faults" where something may be broken but you're not down.

 

The general consensus I've found is as long as you've done your due diligence to confirm the problem is not on your end then they'll be happy to help you out via the fault form.

 

Otherwise, if you post on here often Quic staffers will see it and if they're not busy they'll reply (if it is them) or past Beta testers like myself can shoulder tap if required. I'm however a customer, not support, but don't mind helping out every now and then. There are around 8 of us on here.

 

There are other features also they're planning on implementing in the near future that will help with basically all the pain points mentioned on this thread but it isn't my place to share details.

 

But the thing I really recommend everyone do is head over to https://status.quic.nz and subscribe to notifications. That way, you get notifications on planned maintenance and outages and they're really good at keeping this updated.

Good spotting x2 😉

 

The weathermap is being redesigned as I type - we're testing out a few variations, so expect to see some changes over the next week or two as we perfect it!

We certainly are, and iOS continues to be a pain on our status page... This is due to how the weathermap is pulled and embedded, which is excluded from site caching and optimisations, and iOS is proving to be a pain not containing the image within the width of the frame, whereas Android is fine.

 

Team are aware and we'll crack it when we can!
