Costs: If you are upgrading your home network or other capability, and need to buy new/more gear, Shawn doesn't charge a markup on the equipment. In fact, once he's designed your solution he will provide you with links to the exact products required and let you buy them directly from the vendors if desired. Or he'll buy them himself and present you with the receipts. Hourly rate: With the skills Shawn possesses, his hourly rate is substantial. And it should be. However, you can still bring your project in at a very reasonable cost PROVIDED you can be a smart customer. By this I mean you must be clear on the capabilities you want to achieve--or at least be able to listen to Shawn describe what's possible and then make rapid decisions. If instead you want a lot of customer education, Shawn can do that too because he knows an immense amount about IT and can communicate effectively. However, it's a bit like paying for a neurosurgeon to teach you about the types of aspirin available to treat a headache. That doesn't make sense; get a nurse instead! In my case, my wife and I work from the house. My goals were to increase the reliability of our home network. We wanted better maintainability (so when the internet goes down I can rapidly identify the problem and fix it). We wanted better network security. I wanted to add a home security camera because of problems with car prowls, etc. And finally, I wanted to move our networking gear out of our super-hot furnace room to a cooler and cleaner location. This was a lot. Other vendors had previously failed to come up with an affordable solution--or any solution at all. Shawn showed us how to do it for a very reasonable sum. Once we had a plan, I was able to control costs by getting a carpenter friend to open up the wall and pull wires through to the new location for the gear. Shawn also kept costs down by allowing me to provide extra hands as he mounted gear on the wall, connected all of our wireless access points to the new console, etc. These steps all require two people. Shawn was willing to let me help and he even maintained a high level of wit and good-natured ribbing throoughout the long day of work. In sum: great outcome, great satisfaction, great price.

As the rep was transferring info from her old phone to new phone, another rep took the company ipad to assist another customer. After a few more minutes, I overhear conversation between that rep and new customer. Rep having trouble explaining to customer that what customer claims does not match account. They went over the items on the account and costs. I soon realized these two were viewing MY account and discussing terms of what my account consists of. Obviously, the rep had not verified account info with the new customer nor had he cleared the ipad and accessed that customer's account. Brainless! To top it off, once I got home to review my account, I saw that the rep at the store had added a service plan for wife's new phone--we did not request that. Each encounter with this T-Mobile store (5122 Yelm Hwy SE Suite A, Lacey, WA 98503) is a freakin' nightmare.

My phone hasn't even processed to ship and it's Tuesday. Also, our bill they said would be "x" amount turns out it's $70 more than what they promised. With that price we would have stuck with the other provider! All of the items (protectors/cases) they said they are giving you with the purchase really means "you're paying for it monthly, so it's INCLUDED" not that they are gifting anything. Such a fraud of a place to just gain business- EMPTY PROMISES! Edited to add- they also included a data/phone plan we didn't agree to adding an additional charge. They snuck that into our bill.

I called Rainier Connect and after a couple of minutes talking with a technician he said since my wireless company was Century Link he couldn't help me and to call another number. I simply thought it was another department within Rainier Connect; wrong. It turned out to be Whisler Communications. Shane answered the phone and after I explained my problem; even though I am not a customer, he took over my computer and fixed the problem. Shane was professional, courteous, friendly, and in 10 minutes I was back up and running. I live in Scottsdale, AZ and will probably never use his company, but I would highly recommend his services to anybody who lives in his operating area. He picked up the phone, no transfers to somebody else and solved my issue. Thank you Shane for a job well done. Bob gooding@localaccess.com
