Incorrect symptom on service ticket

Good day,

This is in regard to our open service ticket, [Edit: PII]. The symptom shown is 'No Dial Tone.'

This is NOT CORRECT. The actual problem is; We can make outgoing calls, but INCOMING does not work. It runs straight into a Comcast-generated recording which says the number dialed is not accepting calls at this time.

I will add: I fail to see why a problem like this, which is so obviously IN COMCAST'S NETWORK, should require an on-site technician visit. I lose leave hours from my day job every time I have to be here for such a visit.

Please correct this ticket and, if an on-site visit is required, please explain why.

Thank you.

UPDATE, 22:35, same night.

Well... Just for the heck of it, I tried power-cycling the Comcast gateway. Not only did it not correct the problem, it caused us to LOSE DIAL TONE as well. Seems the original symptom is accurate after all, but now we can't make OR receive calls!

Nice going, [Edit: Language]! The problem is in YOUR equipment/network, not mine. That much, I'm positive about. And now you're telling me you can't get to it until Friday.

I'm beginning to wonder if I did the right thing, porting our main line over. Maybe I should have stuck with CenturyLink. Noise and hum aside, at least we were never completely cut off for two-plus days!

Wow...

Not only do I get brushed off, like so much dryer lint, you actually chastise me for trying to get the attention of someone who could, in theory, actually provide help.

I guess there's nothing left to say, really. Your actions have spoken far louder than any words could.

I look forward to the day we get real broadband competition in my area.

The intention of my response was to confirm you are on the best path to get the phone issue resolved and to reiterate our forum guidelines as a friendly reminder.

Some "friendly" reminder...

I repeat: I look forward to the day we get REAL broadband competition in my area. I'm sure Quantum Fiber would be delighted to have us, if they'll just get their cabling in...!
