We are more than willing to help you with whatever issue you may be encountering but you won't get much accomplished on this community forum without providing any details of the issue. If you had a poor experience with our customer support team please share the ticket number so we can bring it to the attention of the Support management team for review.
Hi Ryanpq,
Thank god that I found you.
I am just wondering what I have done wrong when contacting DO support. My issue was so important to me but the ticket was deliberately closed when my questions were still pending and there was not any further communication from support. It was just quietly closed and closed even I resubmitted it. The ID of the ticket is 1606708
Thank you for taking a look and your help.

Hi, the issue was related to network connectivity with DO data center. I appreciate the fact that DO has the most robust setup. Thus, the possibility of having any issue is almost none. However, whenever there is an issue, responses have not been very satisfactory for me. First response and follow-up responses are very slow.
I'm sorry to hear that. I've touched base with our support team and while our privacy policy prohibits me from sharing any account specific details here I can say that:
1.) our team is aware of connectivity issues between DO and one specific ISP that web believe is in your region.
2.) Our team will request MTR/Ping results in these cases so we can provide data to the ISP or otherwise investigate further.
3.) The ticket I was able to identify appears to be awaiting a response from you.
In cases like these we reach out to our providers and when feasible we reach out to the affected ISP. Having real test results from users having the problem is vital since we cannot see things outside our network with the clarity that a user at that end can so your response is an important aspect and helping to get this resolved.
Today the same problem occured again. From last three hours I am waiting for a replay. I have replied twice.
I cannot believe this is the quality of DO support.
Support is terrible... my server is blocked for 4 hours without answer... And I cant get my data to create another droplet... I ask help but they dont care...
Is it long enough 30 min of waiting in order to get at least a "Hello" from CS? Or should I wait more? : )
is the service at this company still this bad???? thinking of moving to DO... but the fact they have NO support OR sales phone number... and apparently don't reply to email quickly either... no sure.
How is service here in 2017?
Agree Service is awful. Worst thing i ever had. My droplet is down for like 15 mins now and i have opened a ticket...no one answers???? wow just wow...SERVICE S-U-C-K-S i dont even know why i am paying anymore...
Agree there service is terrible... looks like time to say good bye to DO and switch to another reliable provider like Amazon.
Your service and support team are very bad exp in my carrier. droplet has been out of networking. we try to solve many times created 10 tickets but did not receive any reply and solution. this is my production server.
Teeerrrriblleee support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Awwwful!!! They claim that they can't do anytihing since the droplet is a ''black box'' for them....
Since they tell you this..... it means if anything goes wrong, you are on your own!
Ok, I'm a little upset. So bare with me. I just left Linode to come here. Spent ALL day working on a server Droplet and at the end I install Postfix. Problem with VERY FIRST email sent out to test my postfix setup...the email was blocked by GOOGLE. Their error message says my (very new) ip address is on a spam blacklist?!?! I look and look and look for support button ...find support ticket button....yea. Fill out ticket...receive my own ticket(boooo) with a link for me to respond TO MYSELF. OMG. The sun is coming up now. WHY is the ticket I am sending to DIGITAL OCEAN for support being sent to myself to answer? Am I understanding this set up wrong somehow? Is there another support area? Here is my ticket----> https://cloud.digitalocean.com/support/tickets/1566868?i=0611fd
