Hi all,
This is now the ninth day that the paging system has been broken.
Here is what I've learned in the past week:
-> We are paying considerably more than ever for access to the paging network -> Spark has exactly one person doing support for this product (Hi Ben!) -> Spark has outsourced management of the TAP modem banks to a third party -> Even though we raised a ticket eight days ago, they only raised the problem with the modem management third party yesterday
Spark people on the list: seriously? This is a critical service and we're paying you an inordinate amount of money for it. This is not acceptable. What makes you think this situation is OK?
[...] From memory, when I looked at using the "new" service, the actual usage fees were quite reasonable, what killed it was the Spark $6000pa (from memory, don't quote me) "contract administration" fee. I never got a sensible answer on what the fee was meant to cover. Dave
