    Ticket please…

    I have opened a new ticket (#932845) because my reply to ticket #960118 on November 28th has been ignored. For full transparency, here is the complete content of that ticket:

    Hi,

    I am contacting you again regarding the ongoing packet loss on my VPS. In its current state, the VPS is unusable for my intended use cases, such as a Rustdesk relay or gameserver hosting. After you moved out of Skylink and identified the root cause previously, the service was somewhat stable for a while, but the issue has resurfaced since the beginning of September, as clearly shown in the Smokeping charts: http://91.218.20.53/smokeping/?target=DNS.GoogleDNS1

    This packet loss is 100% unrelated to my ISP, as Smokeping runs directly on my VPS. It has nothing to do with my local connection or provider. The VPS is querying Google and other major networks such as Cloudflare; suggesting the issue lies with them would be extremely unlikely. Additionally, multiple customers worldwide have reported similar packet loss issues with your NL VPS on LowEndTalk, which strongly indicates this is a problem on your side, not with our individual ISPs.

    I paid 2 years up front for this VPS and have only been able to use it properly for roughly 3 months. There has been no compensation for the packet loss and downtime, including during the “emergency migration”. If you are unable to resolve this ongoing problem within a reasonable timeframe, I request a refund for the remaining months of this service. Under the circumstances, that is a fair and reasonable resolution, after which we can part ways.

    Kind regards,

    Hi!

    Thanks for your messages.

    We will not be able to issue a refund as you paid via crypto.

    You stated you were only able to use your service for 3 months. We will add the unusable month to the billing cycle as compensation as soon as this is fixed for you.

    On the surface this might all look like the same problem. It is not that easy to debug such network issues without proper MTRs. Charts with pings and packet loss are not helpful. They are just screaming there is an issue but don't provide any value for debugging.

    Please provide MTRs for the endpoints you have packet loss to.

    You provided MTRs from your home network after we requested them but, as far as we know, did not follow up with your ISP to clarify the details we need to debug this further.

    We host a few thousand VPS as of now and of course there are issues from clients point of view every day. So referencing other clients issues in regard to your own is not helpful, as others's problems might not be yours. In the end it is not as easy as it sometimes seems.

    Hope to work with you in the future on a better basis as soon as this is fixed for you.

    Checking your latest answer and let you know as soon as we have additional details.

    Why don't you add one or two free month for the ones without submitting a ticket?
    It's just a suggestion while I'm waiting for the deals in AMS.

    Thanks for your suggestion. Most clients didn't have issues. There is not that "one issue all clients have" that can be compensated without having a ticket. It's relatively easy: clients report via Ticket, we check. If clients don't report via ticket, we are unable to check.

    We are waiting for new hardware to arrive in NL ;)

    Sure thing. I just answered your ticket:

    Hi!

    I just issued a refund for the initial transaction. The money should be back on your credit card within 10 days. If not, please let us know.

    A few words:

    You ordered a 6 € + VAT per year VPS from us.

    We acknowledge that the service quality we provided was not on par with what we have wanted to provide to you and what you expect.

    In the end it is a 6 € + VAT per year VPS. The calculation for it is that we have minimal to no human interaction for it. Of course it should be a usable service for you. It seems it was not, sorry again for that.

    We offered a free extra year via Ticket 5 days ago and you accepted it the same day. We didn't answer yet and hereby revoke our offer and we are closing your account together with
    the refund. Please do not order services again in the future.

    Why the refund now and not the free VPS for one year? It seems that we have different expectations for a 6 € + VAT per year service and therefore we are now parting ways.

    Heyy.. my €6/year VPS was also affected by the downtime, but i didn’t receive the free 1 year as compensation. Should I open a ticket too?

    time to issue a refund and write this is worth more than 6eur in any half-decent EU economy.

    on the other hand... dont offer such prices if you aren't willing to work like a slave for them.

    Well that's not mine, but the answer made me giggle. So you offered a free year and then you took it back basically? Are your expectations for a 6 € + VAT per year service in par with having constant network issues for months? You literally told people here to open tickets if their server had issues and it took you weeks to answer.

    I doubt most people in here expect 24/7 support on some cheap yearly VPS, I know I don't, but when your service is simply not working then offering some sort of compensation is common sense and based on all the comments in here it clearly has issues.

    If thats not your ticket, I am sorry. Please let me know your ticket ID then ;)

  • Tbf im bothered with the fact that heartbeat-it shares their ticket replies here. It doesn’t do any good to anyone

    I told you before, I never opened one and I don't need a refund either thanks but as you can see several people in here did. @Freek got ghosted in his and had to open a second one with multiple proofs, and @FAT32 even tagged you in the Megathread a couple of weeks ago so you could check this one. I will simply let mine expire and not renew if the problems continue, simple as that, as I rather not lose your time or mine on that matter. You seem bothered that people have pointed the issue to begin with and still won't admit anything was wrong.

    @barbaros said: Tbf im bothered with the fact that heartbeat-it shares their ticket replies here. It doesn’t do any good to anyone

    A practice I never liked, together with trying to link to someone's account from LET and even worse when it fails lol. I think everyone in this thread used common sense as well but the provider seems a bit sensitive. There are plenty of cheap providers out there, and I don't think not expecting micro-disconnects multiple times a day, for months, is considered high expectations for a $7/yr server as per that ticket reply you posted.

  • Credit where credit is due; my VPS has (finally) been moved to another node and connectivity has improved massively. I'm not experiencing any weird ping spikes anymore.

    Thanked by 1MannDude
  • Anyone else still having issues with them? I still get random timeouts from time to time, like can't connect to the server via ssh or can't access from vps to anywhere else.

    Smokeping to google looks ok

    But smokeping test to gateway has random issues

    It's kinda annoying that connection timeouts randomly.

  • Yes, timeouts too.

  • heartbeat_ITheartbeat_IT Member, Patron Provider

    Hi!

    Please reach out via Ticket. No known issues at the moment that we are aware of.

    Kind regards,

    Max

    Our routers deprioritize icmp echo reply / echo request so this is expected and not a measurement for real packet loss.

    Hi!

    Can you share a ticket ID, please? We are not aware of an issue in our Sweden location.

    Usually we get feedback within tickets that we are friendly. In which regard did you experience unfriendliness from our support?

    I stopped open tickets since you canceled my VPS to the end of the billing period, because I said if you can fix the problem with reboots out of nothing and IPv6 outages, I will have to look for a new provider. I can share the ticket here when im at home if you want.
