I am not techie responsible with IT at my place of work, but the geek in the other department who would do a few wiz gifts of his when the network runs slow and I noted a consistent 25% loss. I called the support geek he did not even seem to know what was up and as instincts will dictated him he reboots the router and runs ping-t same loss and timeouts, I shrug my shoulders and walk back to my desk, the case is continuing to date despite that fact that Zuku was hired recently to provide a fiber plan it has been marketing in westlands.  Question is:how do they continue with their business despite the crys I have seen in this list since I joined(puzzled face)

I have been wondering how sustainable zuku's business model is but they can get away
with it by dropping packets whenever the links are saturated instead of queuing it which
consumes router resources.

@ Mark unfortunately for our market that is true. but when you really think about it, you remember a techie who sorted out your issue than the one who set you up in the first place.

I might be wrong but some network devices (routers) are configured to drop/limit ICMP hitting the route processor/cpu to mitigate some DOS problems. Maybe another option is to run actual ICMP to the destination you are testing to for correlation.

However, Zuku/Wananchi should revert to Laban.

@Laban, contact Zuku, they will eventually fix the issue. It also helps to let them know you will not renew the contact unless the issue is fixed.

Your point assumes a market where consumers have the power to chose a superior alternative if things don't work out.

the problem with nearly all service providers is simple - they do not understand a simple fact: No one remembers when things go right, people always remember what went wrong. Handle crises properly and that's a plus. Have everything running smoothly most of the time is 'half' a plus... if that makes sense...

Max.

That is quite scary, if you ask me, especially if it falls under his/her jurisdiction! I am guessing (using my sixth sense) that s/he was quite pissed (unnecessarily) with something you had in that e-mail. However, I also do remember that "the customer is always right, especially when they are wrong" and should that happen to me, I do sort out the customer then exhale over a cold beer instead.

That convo should serve as an example of what customers go though with their providers. Is there a blog for that somewhere?

I forwarded this email to a techie contact there, asking him if this issue falls under his jurisdiction, and his exact answer was:

No wonder.
