The Story of "Status Lights - "Our Office Communications System is DOWN - what do I do next?

Mission Statement of Status Lights

To educate the customer on what to say to the carrier or vendor on that first service down call based on equipment light status. We help the customer take that first step in the right direction.

 

What is the Bottom Line?!

When you tell the carrier, "my Internet is down", they are slow to respond. "Is it plugged in?"

 

When you state "The line light on my DSL modem that is normally solid green is now flashing red" the 1st level carrier tech will say "ugh, let me let you speak to my supervisor!.....we are sending a truck now!"

 

Conveying equipment light status to the carrier or vendor tech is the first step to service repair.

 

What was the motivation to do this?

 

Here is a typical customer, vendor, carrier scenario
