I can't tell you a fixed time, since I have seen a wide range depending on the load and who is on vacation.
You will normally get a fast answer on this forum for regular usage questions. If you have a billing or similar problem you need to fill out a Support Request form (support link in the upper right of the login page, then the first link on the support page). I have usually gotten answers within a few hours, but your experience may be different. Bill |

My colleage (she told me that she has enhanced account) posted support question for almost 3 days and has not been responded. If that is true, i wonder what does priority support mean?
I quite afraid if someday i registered and have to post to forum if i need fast answer. No offense. I hope they can post range of response time (for example: priority means 1-2 days, personal means 2-4 days). A little bit clear then. They also can propose for platinum support which handle responses in max 4 hours and charge for gigantic price. Any opinion? |

Where did she post her question? In this forum? Or did she file a support request to Fastmail? Not an email ... a support request form?

I don't know exactly. I will see her again on monday. But, she said that she already followed correct procedure according to the FAQs. Like sending emails or post in support form.
It's a pity since last week, she promoted fastmail.fm to all of us (10 people in this office), hoping for referral bonus Anyway, i hope this is clear. Since 8 of us is willing to register. |

3 days definitely sounds too long.
Can you get her to email me directly at robm@fastmail.fm with details, I'll check out what's going on. Rob |

Rob,

I will tell her to send email to you, regarding this problem. But, in general, since we (8 of us) will register for enhanced account, we really need to know how long the respond time of priority support. So, we don't have to always send mail to you. And, so we can measure solving time of our future problem. It would be nice it you add little description of what prority support is. For us, who amazed with fastmail, case like this can be understood. But, we don't want it happened to someone else whose less patient. Thanks. |

Rob posted some time back that he was working on a new support system. I noticed the new look to the support form awhile back and from the looks of it he has finished it and they are testing it out now? That new ticketing system should help a lot with keeping track of and responding to support requests.

I believe this is not about the form. I, for one, couldn't care less about forms. It's all about the time it takes for us to get a reply. I use many service providers that provide support by email. In fact, I prefer email. I use email even with the provider that have live support. And most of them reply in a matter of hours. In some case minutes. Fastmail takes days and days. That's what this is all about. At least from my perspective. Sorry for the rant. |

Out of curiosity, do you know what is the average number of requests for support per day ?

<snip> "that will allow multiple support people to work sanely at once"<snip> I got the impression that "multiple support people" means more responses to support request will take place in a "faster" response than in the past? And, of course, all support should start with the support form. Sherry |

I must say that the few times I have had to submit a support request - I had responses within 24hr with problems fixed straight away.
I have two enhanced accounts - which is only US$80pa - I don't feel this amount of money specifically entitles me to service within minutes though! |
