As some of you may know, VSP has merged with Marchon. This in and of itself isn’t a bad thing, but it further shuts out the private opticals. Please refer to the OAA response to this. There is no reason for VSP to continue to maintain their current position. I would urge everyone who has Marchon in their office to make the necessary decisions to remove their merchandise from your offices until VSP changes their position.
My submission is below:
As a licensed optician, I resent being excluded from your insurance plans. The merger doesn’t benefit licensed opticians at all. As someone who has used Marchon extensively, I will gladly replace all Marchon lines with other frame lines. It’s time to be fair. Eyemed, Cole Managed Care and others do not impose any rules similar to VSP. I urge you to consider a change in policy.
I will never be getting another Linksys product again. A router failed in an office that I work at. That router happened to be a linksys. I replaced it with an 8 port switch. When connecting all the computers to the switch, no network. The computers were all set up to accept DHCP IP assignments etc… Nothing. The switch would refuse to assign any computers an IP address except for one computer. I called up Linksys and got an exceptionally average tech support person. The person kept indicating that I needed to call Microsoft since there was internet connectivity on one machine DESPITE the fact that there was no Intranet. The Intranet aspect was more important since I needed several rooms to access the same information which was located on one machine. I happen to be a techie myself and the support person clearly refused to listen to what was happening or to what I was saying. I am returning the product. I know the difference between the different layers of networking. I needed an ethernet layer that was connected to a switch so it would support the Microsoft’s filesharing network.
