    The setup - have an alarm with a receiver so can activate, deactivate with a fob. Also have a led mounted outside the house so I can see when the system is armed.

    Rate Axxess

    Thanks Axxess Lady. I did come right, but did require me chasing the issue. In being fair with my criticisms, my chasing did involve using the online chat and it is the first time ever with an online chat that I have experienced that the agent understood, was able to assist, and resolved the...

    'Best Effort'

    Absolutely agree on cost of a business SLAs and not suggesting that we try match those at domestic level. Best effort , in my view, is just too loose a term.

    'Best Effort'

    In many of the domestic ISPs Terms & Conditions, there is this clause indicating that their services are on a 'Best Effort' basis. Two questions I have on this: Is there a definition of this term or is it subjective with applying a reasonable man test? In today's world, is best effort still...

    Also logged a ticket 2 days ago, still no response. Seems from this thread, that unless you DM The Axxess Lady here, you will not be helped. Sad for a company that was at one stage doing really, really well. Take a look at Hellopeter too - pages of bad service reports...

    How to go from Hero to Zero in a short space of time. Agree with all that has been said on support being lacking. Their systems are clearly not supporting their business and appears to be no standards or methodologies in place, other than their agents scripted responses. You have invested...

    Frogfoot Gpon FTTH Fibre Performance

    Excellent Feedback and Transparency FrogFoot. Most of us are techies and appreciate the open approach, and probably garner empathy as we all have similar issues in our day jobs. Where did you get the name FrogFoot? Must be an interesting story in that.

    No Static IP available. Options?

    I have a few IFTTT applets setup that use webhooks calling a http to my RPi, so not sure if a VPN would work in that scenario.

    No Static IP available. Options?

    Just moved to fibre and found out that very few FNOs offer static IPs. I am aware of services such as DynDNS and NoIP. Are there any other alternatives that you may have considered.
