Right, if the complaint is "I don't like what Steve is selling, and Steve told me not to buy it" then that isn't going anywhere.

A LEC has some minimum service commitments to meet so that could be a whole different thing.

I wouldn't think they have a right to file a formal complaint. No regulation, nothing to hold you in violation of.

    Informal or formal complaint? Informal complaint basically the FCC
    forwards to the ISP who sends a response to the customer with a
    copy to the FCC at which point the FCC feels their job is done. 
    So if you have already sent them a response, a complaint may just
    get them another copy of it.

    Now, if they really want to file a formal complaint:

    Complaints filed through the Consumer Complaint Center are
    categorized as "informal" complaints. There is no fee for filing
    an informal complaint.

    If you are not satisfied with the response to your informal
    complaint, you can file a "formal" complaint. Your formal
    complaint must be filed within six months of the date of the
    response to your informal complaint. The current fee for filing a
    formal complaint is $235.00, but it is subject to change.

    Formal complaint proceedings are similar to court proceedings.
    Each party must comply with specific procedural rules, appear
    before the FCC and file documents that address legal issues.
    Parties filing formal complaints usually are represented by
    lawyers or experts in communications law and the FCC's procedural
    rules. No attorneys fees may be awarded.

    Complete information on how to file formal complaints can be found
    in sections 1.720 through 1.740 of the FCC's rules, located at 47
    C.F.R. §§ 1.720 – 1.740.

    Since you are an unregulated entity, I would not worry about
    anything.

    If you were the ILEC then you might have to file an answer.

    If the FCC sends something, make sure to respond.

    We have a customer whose demands dont meet our capabilities, we
    did try to get them what they wanted, but theyre on one of the
    ends of our network and there is simply inherent latency there
    until we build that leg out in 11ghz this summer.

    We have decided to part ways, we would prefer amicably, but they
    said they are filing an FCC complaint. Thats fine, I dont have any
    issue with it.

    Im just curious what the process is there, we have documented all
    that we did, I would just prefer to have my ducks lined up.

    Is it like a BBB complaint where they complain, you respond with
    documentation, etc?
