You're missing my point.

Support calls are maybe 2-4 a week.

But there are minimums with SP. Plus there are the calls that are mis-directed that I would end up paying for, or "Is Matt there?".

BUT... by bringing my sales in-house ($300-$400/month) plus the support (around the same amount) I'm now part way to just hiring someone -- who I can now use for other things.

Sounds like you have too many support calls.  I couldn't possibly hire someone 40 hours a week at minimum wage and get close to my per call cost with ServerPlus...

    Interesting point. We are at 1,000 subs I and I just did this
    economic model.

    I don’t have 24x7 support. But do have 9-9.

    With a well running network support calls are near nothing. I took
    the money I was going to pay SP and hired staff. Now I have people
    who do phones and other things.

    I would say that if you want local pronunciations of words you
    should run your open tech support.

    I don't think most people care. They are normally happy just to
    have someone speak English that they can understand. Until you get
    about 8000 subs I doubt you can do it anywhere close to the cost
    that Lane can.

                GTC does this too. I don’t know why it’s so hard.

                The company I used to work for was “Indigo Wireless”.
                They always say In Dee Go.

                I would like to share some solid stats with the
                group.  Please see those below.  The comment about a
                decline is hard to address without looking at
                stats.  Kind of like the user that calls you and
                vaguely  says “My internet seems slow” when you have
                stats that show they are getting more than they are
                paying for.  We have hired a number of new people
                recently because we have grown and have added a new
                office but as Justin said this is a slow time of the
                year so we also took advantage of this time to get
                rid of some of our weaker performers.  Here are the
                company wide stats for the past week with some
                comments about them, I would stack these up against
                any call center in the world.  Sorry if I come on
                strong, but as you all know this is my baby and I
                care a lot about it just like you do about your
                networks.  I know we are not perfect, out of 6000
                calls I am sure we made a mistake or two and I am
                happy to address any individual issue directly, but
                I am pretty proud of what we do. ____

                Has anyone noted a consistent decline in quality
                with these guys, and a large number of different
                tech names in their tickets?____

                Its almost looking like they outsourced their
                outsourcing.____
