After almost 6 months of an intermittent issue with my home line port,  I've decided to post in public to see if Snap finally realise how s*it their service has become....  I've had so many issues with them in the last couple of years its not funny, but I digress...


Anyway,  if someone calls my homeline from a spark/telecom line, it goes to a number is not in service recording,  and apparently its up to me to get Chorus to fix this,  even though I have no professional relationship with them,  I don't pay them a monthly fee to have a VoIP connection...  but apparently Snap are unable to discuss this with them because they don't do that...

Now I work for a company that provides a lot of VoIP services for various nationwide organisations, and we seem to manage to discuss these occassional porting issues with Chorus and get them sorted in 1-2 hours... yet Snap can't manage to do this in 2 weeks (and thats just this time)


Can anyone suggest a competent VoIP provider and/or ISP that I can switch to??


I think this may be the worst service I've ever experienced from a technical service provider,  and this is just the tip of the ice berg from them...

Thanks Snap!  


Fixed in less than 2 hours when posted on a public forum,  took 2+ weeks when dealing with support staff...   Guess from now on,  I'll post my issues here on Geekzone, and they'll get fixed suitably fast..

Darn, I really must stop being so efficient eh Jason? Always happy to help where we have let you you down.

Routing issues are one of those muddy grey areas in regards to responsibility, as sbiddle and I have alluded to above it is technically not our fault, but definitely see your perspective and the industry is becoming more receptive too.
