When I call support by the phone, and when  I have enougph time to talk 10
minutes, explain a problem, repeat _I know how to pay, my problem is another one_,
yes, sometimes support can help. problem is tjhat phone support is good for USA
only, and only for thiose who knopw English well. Yes, I can call them now (when I
am living here), now try to do it from another country.

They are Internet company, not USA company... It's a difference. And such support
is 99% useless for anyone except American sysadmins... If they was MacDonalds. it
could be another issue... For Internet company, their support is brainless one!

i beg to differ.

while i am hardly the person to defend netsol, i think your comments
are a gross exaggeration and a blind generalization.  how big is your
sample set that you are drawing this conclusion from?

i phone netsol 3-4 times a week, for the past 2 years.  each time i
do, i get ambiguities straightened out, domains modified manually by
the support person, or the updated report (nic handle report, domain
status report, etc.)  that i requested.  i call the business support
group, which maybe you don't have access to.  (based on the volume of
requests that we process, we are shuffled off to the business
support.)

granted, i am often calling because their automated system has lost or
misconstrued my response/request.  but when i do talk to their support
team, i am always satisfied.  it would be impossible to do business
with them if i could not reach a clueful human who makes everything
ok.

My example:

begin:
Me: I payed extra 35$, can you confirm that domain will be renewed for extra
one
year, I does not see it on the whois?
NS: If you did not payed, use our web to pay. If you had _last_ notification,
dismiss it.
Me: I know; but I am asking you about my extra payment - if my friend payed
70$
and I payed 35$ for the same domain, what will really happen?
NS: If you did not payed, you can do it by the web. If you have _fginal_
notification, dismiss it. etc.

goto begin

Just the same as to ask questions to  the typewriter...

i've been trying to get through to nanog for months now to do a simple
address change. of course i used their form correctly -- several times, in
fact -- and i've exchanged emails with some lackey on the problem. once i
made the problem clear, communications dropped off sharply. anyone know a
contact with a clue? i'd rather get this done *before* the time runs out and
i lose the name.

thanks much. of course, please respond off-list.
