@scottalanmiller I am waking up, we have had essentially the same issue with a customer using Cogent VPLS... it has been 2 months of shenanigans
Still awake dealing with AT&T. They kept doing the "yes, of course" thing on the phone just to get me off of the phone. Then once off tried to make excuses to not start the work that they had claimed that they were "starting right away."
I didn't buy their "say anything to get me to go away" tactic and got them to put in writing that they were going to actually run a test finally.
Still zero action, but for the first time in writing they say that they will look into something.

Must be Thor telling you to go see Avengers Endgame.

I got ~2.5 hours of sleep, then AT&T called again. Then I went back to bed, got maybe five minutes, and they called again. Now I am on hold.

You should start charging AT&T for your time!

I literally told them that they were going to have to start paying me.

With the repeated T1 support questions? Did you turn it off and wait 30 seconds before turning it back on?

Now they want US to replace THEIR cable, because they think that it is bad.

Well it'll cost em way to much to send a technician out to replace a cable.
You could of course hook up a cable tester to their cable and send them a pictu. . .. ahahah like they'd know what a cable tester results show. . .

Finishing a few things off before getting ready to go home early.

I am SO tired. Gotta wait 40 minutes before we try the next thing with AT&T. Never enough time to actually get any sleep.

At MS Ignite Tour in Stockholm.
Waiting for 8am so I can get some coffee.
@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
AT&T finally signed into the Cisco router that they "make" us have. Now they are trying to ping things, but it isn't working. lol
This is totally an optional thing. I have multiple clients with AT&T fiber and no router from AT&T.
The biggest thing to know is that you cannot have any auto-sensing Ethernet negotiation connected to the demarc. You have to force the everything to 100 full.

AT&T once had me make a loopback plug for a 'smart' smart jack for a voice T1. For those who don't know, a smart jack is looped up by the provider's tester. A 'smart' smart jack can help with determining distance to trouble among other things.
After I talked to Bob and Tom from parts unknown, I insisted that they get the tester on the phone. They argued with me that they can't let the customer talk to the tester. I specified that I don't want to talk to the tester, that was their job. After 5 minutes of arguing, they transferred me to the tester in Virginia who located a bad card in a town about 20 miles away.

Put a discussion link in my wiki for each article that links to an internal nodebb instance. I was thinking this could be a good way for them to seek help if they can't get it working and we have something else that can be referenced as input for changes to the documentation overall. win/win

coffee and reviewing tickets this morning.
Happy Hump day to everyone.

Re-setting up my Home/Lab Server with KVM
