Have you tried saying "shibboleet"?

My ISP actually supports this[0], though I haven’t had cause to use it yet - they are also very reliable!

I think you're being unfairly downvoted by people who haven't seen this xkcd:

The real life version of “shibboleet” is your Certified Partner ID number and a serial number with a valid support contract.

When I worked for a VAR I could upload logs to Cisco and get experimental patches back. Call up HP, tell them I want an RMA, and they’d just do it. Night and day compared to what consumers get.
