No, I got a confirmation and ticket ID immediately.   Three days later I 
call it in and they pull it up, sure enough nobody took ownership.  Same 
thing happened about a month ago.   Seems email ticket priority is zero. 
   You HAVE to call to get any kind of action.  And it also seems the 
front line techs are not as skilled as before -- basic pinging and 
questionable understanding of traceroutes / asymmetrical routing.

It didn't used to be this way.
