    Good morning cherylaoife,

     

      I'm glad you found the community, thank you for posting. Glad to see service is stable again. I'm able to run diagnostics on your site, and while everything is working well now, I would recommend a dish realignment. If you get in touch with business/SME support in the future should you run into intermittent connectivity, I would request a tech for a realignment, even if the diagnostics still show everything as OK at that time.

    Thanks to everyone who responded and helped me maintain what little sanity I had left.

Liz Thanks for your reply. I did finally get in touch with a rep via phone yesterday and he ran some diagnostics and said it did appear that my dish was out of alignment. And might not have been properly aligned when it was first installed. In any case, I'm now waiting for someone to contact me for an appointment - as my connectivity deteriorates even further, and I lose another day of income.

    Hi cherylaoife, 

     

    Thank you for this update, glad to hear you have a dispatch set up to address the dish alignment.

     

    Thanks,

    Liz

      Liz I don't have anything set up yet - I'm waiting for someone to contact me to set something up. In the meantime, I'm just losing income - and what's left of my mind. Cheryl

        I'm looking at the case notes and in our system there is an open dispatch for your site, which means we will assign or have already assigned someone to visit your site. The notes indicate that the ETA is 02/12/20 17:00. Let me verify with the person overseeing this assigned tech that the ETA is correct and whether someone will still reach out to you. For residential customers, the tech typically does reach out to the customer before the visit to confirm the date and time.

         

        I'll post back once I have any news to share.

         

          Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.

         

        Thanks,

        Liz
