I know your hoping for the 'inside scoop' coming to AusNOG, but 
ultimately its not a support channel and as a customer you really should 
be calling the helpdesk and trying your hardest to escalate. Be firm but 
not rude, if they are refusing to escalate, and you should hopefully see 
some progress.
