Over the weekend I was contacted by Internode via email informing me of the resolution of the support ticket I raised on the 14th of October.

Apparently my issue has been resolved or maybe I needed to respond to some question or issue I wasn’t asked about.

Here is the email Intenode has sent informing me of the resolution. It is obviously a form letter or standard template.

Unfortunately I can not agree with their assertions that the issue is resolved or I have yet to respond to them concerning the issue. While the issue continues to affect me and other residents of the area I will try and keep this ticket and the others open.

Here is my response to the support email.

Dear Helpdesk at Internode,

Please move this ticket from resolved back to open status. This I ask for three reasons.

1, You have not been able to demonstrate or provide me with details to how the resolution was achieved, nor have you explained why you believe the issue is resolved. I will not allow you to close this ticket until you can provide me with such details.

2, I will demonstrate again that the issue still exists.

Until my latency is stable and in line with ADSL services is neighboring suburbs (ie under 100ms to Internode POP) I will argue the issue remains.

3, I have not received an earlier correspondence from you other than acknowledging the congestion fault on my service still exists. I have not received an email or SMS concerning the status of the ongoing issue since August 8th, over 5 weeks ago. I raised another ticket as I had assumed Internode believed the issue solved which is to the contrary.

Please keep this ticket open. I will be in contact in the next week to inquire to its status and Internodes progress.

Thanks

Russell

I expect to hear from Internode again shortly. If you have an outstanding support ticket with your ISP please check it is still open, if it is not ask them to open it again.
