Although I would like to state that in my humble opinion over the last few years Juniper support has definately gotten worse in that the caliber of the support personnel is not what it was when the company first started. I suppose that is to be expected with a growing company, but I would hope it is not a sign of things to come... furthermore, the web based support is a nice option, but they really need to get their response personnel to read the tickets more thoroughly, often times the person responding just gives the ticket a cursory glance and doesn't provide the right answer or completely goes off into left field...
