Yup, it's a pretty standard ploy to deal with dissident subs. Small ISP's generally have one "sub" on their Forum who gets excellent service 24/7 and has done since the Company's inception. He is normally the Managing Director but sometimes his (usually only one) support bod steps in when the £1.00 per minute support line goes quiet. This "sub" generally only pops up to respond to a criticising post with the " I get full speed 24/7 so the touble is at your end"
Expect a large ISP to have several, each probably posting under a variety of nyms. When faced with a crisis, like every other week with VM
, they likely have reserves to draught in so are forever at the ready to discredit subs complaining of poor service. When you have been around for a while you get wise to the same nyms always responding in exactly the same way. The best thing to do is "plonk" them as they rarely actually help anybody.
