When I called their Tech Support, I went to voicemail. "All reps are
busy". I went to sales... I asked "Why can't I traceroute to you?" I was
told, "Sir... we just rebooted our machines. Wanna try it again?"

They rebooted all their machines at once? All routers and computers?

Hmmm... 5 minutes later...
