I don't see why that's amusing, the point still stands - phoning in, even to offshore, is 9 times out of 10 the fastest way to get an issue resolved. The forum support team is good, but it still takes time and if everyone went via the forum, it'd take days to spot local issues rather than hours.
As inept as some offshore agents are, even the worst are capable of booking a tec and had OP just phoned in, he'd have likely had a tech the next day. Now this has gone on for several days.

[Edit]
Probably was 32-bit signed int overflow. I can see a reading of 1,385,274,806 in there which is over 200,000,000 already. He probably missed out a '0'. 2 billion errors is a lot to have on one channel, but considering routers these days are rated in mpps (million packets per second) it wouldn't take that long at full pelt.

My first thought as well. A surprisingly common occurrence, these days. Then again, I can understand why the developer never gave much thought to the data type, a signed 32bit integer should be enough for anyone :P
