Catalog ISP Technical Support Contact Information & Policies

Ferlauto

Fing already knows your ISP, why not make it as easy as possible to get support when there is a problem (real or perceived)?

• Contact information (e.g. Phone numbers, e-mail, chat, website, etc.)

• Known 1st trouble-shooting steps and have Fing do as much of them as possible (e.g. speed test, router status, connection status of modem to router, WAN connection status (including date and time last known good), etc.
• Crowd-sourced information of outages in local area
• Catalog of known policies (e.g. Sending a technician w/o charge, replacing hardware, support for third-party hardware, etc.)

Router manufacturers are already starting to embed many of the basic functions (e.g. speed test, knowing when someone is home or not, etc.)

It's the information and community that is more likely going to give Fing its value because it's vendor-neutral and can maintain a position "above the fray" of other devices.  This is part of what creating a platform is all about.
