How to Submit a Trouble Ticket

If you’re having issues with any of your RTC services, please call our office immediately at (888) 862-3115. Many times, customers will tell us they’ve been experiencing troubles for days, weeks, or even months. By waiting to call us, they experience a longer period of technical difficulties than is necessary. Remember, RTC typically does not know you’re having an issue until you inform us.

RTC’s business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (or 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the summer). RTC does have an after-hours answering service that can troubleshoot email and Internet troubles over the phone. We also have technicians on call for emergency situations. If it’s not an emergency, we can try to fix the service issue over the phone. If the problem cannot be resolved over the phone, we’ll send out a technician the next business day.

When you call to report a technical issue after hours, please provide the following information so we can help you in a timely manner:

  • Name
  • Home telephone number
  • Cell phone number
  • Account number

If you’re not available when we return your call, we’ll leave you a message if possible. (Sometimes when we call cell phone numbers, the mail box is full or not set up, and we can’t leave a message.)
