Jeremy the kind of guy who broadens your horizon for free
I literally start off all my calls with a carrier. " you know the guy you call for help. i am the guy he calls for help calls for help. so here is what i need you to look at"
LOVE IT!
I feel your pain. I don't always have to call the carriers, but when I do, I take a sick day.🤣I do believe there is carrier related PTSD.
Layers upon layers of ISPs for one connection... then you reach a carrier who has a different reference number to what you have and then they tell you, they dont have any details for your link.... I feel your pain Jeremy...
Having a single point of contact for outages and to chase for updates gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside :)
Great video!
I have worked for carriers for almost 7 years now, and this is wonderful information. Thank you so much for doing this channel Jermey. I have used your material to help me along the way with two CCNPs, and I am loving all of this side info too.
it used to be that you had to contact the Local Exchange carrier at both ends, and the long haul carrier, and get all three to play nice. Sometimes the long haul was also a LEC at one end or the other, and would get pissy when you weren't using them, (cough SWB, cough), and make things more difficult.
On top of that, there's the unions to deal with. Every few months it seems, whatever telecom union is in a pissing match with your carrier, sometimes even after their strike has been resolved, and you get the brunt of it. "Hey, I've hit my 40, and is limiting overtime. Call back in for a new tech. *click*." No handoff, no effort to get a follow on guy on the line, or even send a message for your account exec to get someone on the line, just drop off the bridge.
And if you thought getting the underlying carrier on the line was hell, there is Zero F*cks given by the telecom union worker that abandoned the incident, leaving you to spend another hour trying to get the carrier to get someone to pretend to give a damn on the line again. In some cases, they're also out there undermining the workers who *are* trying to get your problem fixed, hoping you'll blame the carrier, not them.
Have a redundant connection through another provider, both to deal with their indifference to your outage, and to have something to hold over their head when they're not responsive. The larger, global carriers try to seduce upper management into having a single provider, especially when offering cloud services bundled with it. It just makes the outage more painful when it happens, and they're well aware that the pain of leaving them will be worse than the cost of the outage, especially when you're now having to re-engineer your network and hire back the staff to run it. Think of Jim Carrey's scene in "Liar Liar" at the impound yard.
Make them earn your business, from the first hook up to the day to day operations, and being willing to walk is the best weapon you have.
Oh man, it's the miscommunication between the account rep, the invoices you have to sort with line items no one can explain, conference bridges with engineers and the CIO breathing on you. It's not one piece of the puzzle that gets you mad. It's the combination of all of it. I do have to give these experiences props. They definitely made me more robust.
Loved this episode! For someone new to IT this explanation was really beneficial!
Thanks Jeremy! I'm working for an MSP dealing with this all the time. Super useful...
Hello Jeremy.How are you? Sorry to ask you this here but i was watching your CCNA content on CBT Nuggests and want to ask you something. The video where you show the MDF&LDF, MDF has two edge routers and two ISP's. Just want to check how do you load balance or may be a good word to use here is "Failover" between ISP's if a down event occurs? Do you use HSRP or edge has its own functionality for achieving this?
Hope i can get some response on this as i'm trying to implement something similar for a SMB.
Thank you very much and appreciate the response on this.
Thanks for the information. This has given me a new business idea in my country to become a carrier bidder. people do always call me to find out what's the most reliable internet provider and now I can use that to make money from that information you just provided. Thanks so much.
thank you for 1080p60
I love the videos.
This is going to be cool :))
I work for ISP and I understand your pain.... I have to call other carriers all the time. I work in Fiber to the tower and talk with cell carriers everyday.... Certain carriers are more of jerks than other for sure
Brilliant as always
I had a fiber innerduct leak water from the street vault into my MDF onto both of my ISP routers. You can tell a good ISP from a crappy one by how fast they respond to you in a time of need. Local provider Unite Private Networks a division of COX responded with a brand new ASR within about an hour of me calling. My secondary ISP AT&T while very good most of the time as far as reliability goes, took a week to get a new router out and back online. While they are are "top tier" provider they are such a large company that one arm doesn't know what the other is doing.
I actually didn't know a lot of information in this video. Good to know
Good stuff!
Just refer to these transitions: Verizon > Frontier, Time-Warner > Spectrum… that was a mess. I’ve been through your experience, and the Project Mgrs are probably the worst of the group. ATT is still protected by the Gov.
Awesome ❤️
No more episodes?
when can we expect a new vid?
I got metronet. All fiber directly into my living room, no coax
hahahah welcome to government. you made laugh so bad
What is necessary to be an internet reseller?
when you live in a place when none ISP want to stay because the costs are to high to be profitable ... like a small far town would be so expensive to invest 800k in fiber optics cabling for 50 houses that only gonna pay $50 month each ... small ISP o resellers use cheaper technologies like wireless to bring the internet to the customers and reduce the invest to 40k just an example
You need to get a Broker connection with the Carrier. This way you can resell their product. It is a little lengthy and need to sell a certain amount per Quarter.
