Hi,

Sorry to post, but we've exhausted any normal routes through customer service. You can just delete this here and now without scrolling down to the nasty traceroutes...

Could someone with some knowledge of ticket 802-107 please contact me off list. This is a long-standing issue and I'm having trouble swallowing the current explanation.

Thanks,

Charles

This is normally a very quick hop to qwest, which leads me to not believe that this has anything to do with Sprint. Don't ask me why there's a connection to qwest at 33 Whitehall, no one's been able to explain that.
