Other ISPs knock on my door on a monthly basis and EVEN IF they could beat 2D on price (which they generally can't), I would never move, and the AWESOME support by @NickMack and the 2D team is a MAJOR reason why.

 

I joined Snap many years ago after bouncing around various ISPs who's service varied from 'average' to 'negligent' and Snap was a breath of fresh air both in terms of their network performance and their outstanding level of service.

 

When 2D bought Snap I was somewhat apprehensive that the great service I had been receiving would disappear, but I'm happy to say that it did not!

 

Having an ISP who is willing to talk to their customers, at a technical level, and work with them to troubleshoot and diagnose issues is extremely valuable.

 

Having access to technical resources here on GZ is a valuable part of that interaction and I for one value it immensely.

I think 2D do a spectacular job on these forums. Particularly around the exciting low-level networking, routes, and latency support that is very difficult to address via the normal support process.

 

And on that note, I had a question. I've noticed it seems that 2degrees have dropped Level 3 and NTT as upstream transit providers? Is that a permanent change? I would hope that network performance is still going to remain a priority... :)

Hiya,

 

You are correct, our direct connectivity to the US is going via alternative paths, we also changed the termination from our MX480 directly into our Core PTX network - Performance is something we pride ourselves in, so no change in strategy there :-)

 

 

 

Nick.

Hi Nick

 

I have generally been pleased with 2 degrees support. However, this morning I lodged an issue with support and have yet to receive a response. I'm not sure what your expected response times are but I think >8 hours is unsatisfactory.

 

 

 

Thanks

 

Martin

Hiya,

How did you log a ticket, via email? If you issue is important and time critical, my suggestion is you call care on 0800 022 022.

Nick.

It was by email. In the past I have usually had a response within a couple of hours

And I just tried calling - several times - and get "the person you are calling cannot be reached at this time"

As per our PM chat, you got through to the iVR, if you have any further issues, PM me.

 

Nick.
