For the last 2 days there have been times when I try to make a call via
SunRocket service and it doesn't go through. In all case's I was able to
make the call via POTS. Likewise using the same POTS when I can't call out
I try calling my SR phone number. I get an 'all circuits busy' signal.

Hope this is just growing pains cause I otherwise like the service

Bob: I'm having the same problem tonight on September 8th. I get a
'regular' busy signal about 3.5499 microseconds after I dial the last
digit. I kept trying at eventually I got through (after maybe 20
mins), so I'm thinking it is a capacity problem. I hope your are right
and this is growing pains. -Matt Johnson

Yes I got the same msg. I sure wish they had a network status page so we
could track what's going wrong.

I just sent the following

Subject: Network status web page - SunRocket needs one


Kevin Bennis

Dear Kevin

I was the Network Mngr for the 2nd largest network in the Dept of Defense.
As you have done, I always sent a customer email when there were network
problems or planned outages. More importantly I had a network status web
page which described what we were doing to fix the problem. Yes is takes
time to keep the page current but the time is more then offset in the
tremendous drop in trouble calls and it goes a long way to reducing the
frustration customers feel when there are problems

Bob

Boy, you guys obviously haven't had the Broadvoice experience.
At least SunRocket had the balls and courtesy to come right out and
admit they were having big problems. Broadvoice just buries their head
in the sand, doesn't answer their phones, and doesn't even resolve the
problems even after months!

As of Saturday, Sept 10th, I'm back up. I did have to power-cycle and
it seems to be working again so far. -Matt

You are right, knowing is better then not knowing. I respect them for
that. I also suspect that the problems are coming from overselling the
service beyond their capacity. An easy thing to do if you are on your
way to success. -Matt

After multiple recurring and unsolved issues for the past eight weeks,
I've finally decided to terminate service with SunRocket.

As I live in the Washington, DC metro area and the NOC is in Northern
Virginia I chose to use them.

Great pricing, and the service was very reliable UNTIL I ported my two
home phones.

Service has been horrible...

Continuing echo problems (and their incessant requests for a QoS report
with no resolution) and this final network meltdown was just too much.

I've switched to Packet8 as I could quickly purchase their VOIP router
at my local CompUSA, got a mail-in rebate for zero cost on this item,
first month free and no activation.

$19.99 month-to-month.

Although their NOC is in California, I've experienced NO latency issues
and all calls have been flawless.

Please note that ALL the major VOIP carriers charge the Federal
regulatory fee - how does SunRocket get around this? Just pay it
themselves or is there something fishy here?

In short, SunRocket is a joke and prospective customers need this
information to make an INFORMED decision!

Now, how long to port my home phone numbers FROM SunRocket and to my
new provider?

I will do my best to "encourage" SunRocket to do so as quickly as they
can!

Does anyone know of a voip provider that provides system status web page and
that keeps it current.

My frustration with SR wouldn't be so bad if I knew what they were doing.
Yesterday I had almost no service, today it seemed up 50%.

This seems like a bump in the road to me. Every VoIP provider will
have issues as it grows. None of them are perfect yet. I've been
happy with my SR service, especially with the money I'm saving and am
definitely willing to see them through this.

I agree, with the exception of this past situation, I have had no
problems with my service. We have to remember we are dealing with
internet phone and not land lines, so I would think some problems are
going to occur.. This is still a fairly new market. I think people are
too quick to jump ship on this one.

At least for me I have only had this one problem since signing up for
them. I have had friends who were with packet8 and had the same type
of problem more frequently, also friends who have had some of the
other services had problems at times as well. just food for thought

I agree. Overall, my experience with SunRocket has been very positive.
I am happier with VoIP than I imagined I would be. There is a certain
amount of leeway than must be afforded these companies as the
technology and the industry grow and become better established.

One concern I have - is now that, according to CEO email the SR service is
"back up" . I still get busy signals on calls to places that I know are not
busy. On my POTS lines the calls go through

I've heard a few people claiming they have had firmware pushed over the
last few days. Maybe, you haven't gotten there yet. mine has been
working great over the last few days.

Curious how one detects this firmware Rev?

What I suspect is that many folks that get a busy signal, don't give it a
2nd thought. they think the number they are calling is in use and just try
agn later.

Bob
