> That's my point. Their support got so bad that they had to be called out on in publicly before they did anything. That's hardly what you want to hear from a company like DO.
That's what you get with most providers these days. Ever tried reaching Google or Amazon?
Actually I have complained to Amazon... and they have always responded within a couple days and in one case where I complained about Prime Video, they called me on a Sunday, which shocked me because everything is otherwise closed in Austria, except gas stations, restaurants and hospitals.
Google on the other hand, I make complaints or suggestions once every couple months and 99% of the time I don't even get a boilerplate response.
I don't believe that Google or Amazon have ever done anything like what DO did before. However, if you notice their support guy Zach was responding to a completely different incident that is not related to the one being addressed with their post-mortem.
If you pay for enterprise support with Amazon you can open a case with a less than 15 minute SLA [1]. With business that goes down to an hour SLA. With both plans you can create chats or calls that typically get answered within a matter of minute with and assigned to an engineer with a background in the service.
