Well, when I really needed support for Dragonwave, 3-DB Networks (Daniel 
White) was the man. (even though he's in sales)
So I'm saying, you can also rely on the channel.

As for Dragonwave direct support, during business hours I had found them to 
be helpful, and I have respect for their engineer's skill sets. And 24x7 
support is an option for REAL Emergencies.
But, I tried calling the 24x7 support twice (not crazy hours), and I got a 
call back promptly both times, and they answered my questions. BUT they made 
me feel so guilty for calling, I'm not sure I'll ever call it again.  And 
support was rushed, and to the minimum level needed to get me going.  Be 
prepared for the typical, you sure have better read the manual thouroughly 
before wasting their time on Sunday, and better have justification that its 
important.  It is NOT regular support given 24/7.  Its page someone at home 
24x7, when they don't really want to be disturbed, but they'll take the 
call, if its important.  I'm not complaining, I'm very thankful I had an 
option to call them on Sunday.  I'm just setting realistic expectations.

Compare that to Cogent Communcations support. You can call them at 3am in 
the morning, and get an experienced CISCO certified engineer, to help you do 
just about anything. And they welcome your call, because they have a full 
night crew there waiting for work. Its a whole nother level of 24x7 support.
