I always use to complain. Believe it or not there are others running into these same issues. I recalled on a campus of about 10,000 students in the first hours of a unhealthy change there would be people calling IT for instance to complain.

They were frequently unresponsive to many issues although there was a minimum of response to critical issues. For instance one time they were rolling out a new wireless access point system in a building and this system redirected users to a page with a Microsoft Windows executable file. To connect it *required* you to install this program. There was no good reason for it. If there was a VPN solution that they wanted to implement for security purposes it should be standards compliant and have a free software compatible solution for non-proprietary platforms.

They quickly fixed the issue within hours of my call. I wasn't the only person to contact the IT department about the issue although it certainly helped move things along.
