LayeredTech - how many other business do they run?
i was told by Scott B. that LT no longer use LTCT or LTSV for their support system and gave me the Accounts department at 1(800) 230-0800 to get my ID. i dial that number and was greeted with a real estate answering machine. so i look over the support ticket system and dial the toll free 1-866-230-0800 and it give me at least 4 options that include "outdoor solution".
how many different biz is LT in?

what's the point of having a phone number if you require your customers to leave a name, phone number and message so you can get back at them.
Not so happy with LT's phone support so far.
p.s. i never have to call LT for support. this is my first time in two years that i'm with them. i was able to resovle all my problem with them by their online support. i'm shocked by two factors so far. the number that i was givine turn out to be some real estate company phone and the number on their support system listed two different company support/sales option.
is LT rolling with more than just dedicated server? do they have other biz?

Aldor Solutions is one of them, along with LT, TGL, etc. They are more than welcome to use extensions to go to different buildings and different departments. They're paying the bills on the number, not us.

An experienced business person knows that at some point a lack of focus is detrimental to the product/service provided. Frankly, seeing what I've seen thanks to this thread, I am confident that now I understand why service at LT has gone down the chute. Looks like too many irons, too many fires, too many cooks in too many kitchens!!
And here I thought I was buying hosting service from a data center. Like a 100% focussed data center, just doing the data center thing. Little did I know the same operation could help me find a job dealing with dead people too! Bleh.

LayeredTech's phone line has always bugged me. I had no idea what Aldor Solutions was so I just heard technical support and spent a bunch of time trying to figure out what was going on.
Billing over the phone has been tolerable though. Short hold times and I've never hit voicemail.

I've had servers with them off and on and they have been ok. I just wanted to add my 2 cents though that there is a lot of businesses that have a parent company but it is odd that they don't have dedicated numbers to be reached at. Phone systems these days are cheap - especially if they even just got some voip system.

LT does not offer phone support, if you are complaining about poor phone support you might want to look into spending a bit more money for a provider that does offer phone support, ie EV1 or TP, etc.
