Tier 1 personnel read off of cue cards Tier 2 personnel have some ability to troubleshoot the problem and the ability to send it to tier 3 back @ NetScreen.
Since my company has been using NetScreens for so long, we usually only call support if we find a severe bug. In these cases, we are escalated to Tier 3 very quickly. Their support has gotten better of the last year.

Also, I have received an e-mail explaining that their Tier 1 and Tier 2 Techs are outsourced. Tier 3 is in-house. Tier 1 I understand, but Tier 2? Most companies as far as I know would not make you get through 2 levels of support before finally speaking to some one that actually knows something.
