Here are some steps you can take to address the situation:
Escalate
Don’t wait if you are not getting the response your business needs. Contacting your account manager or one of the managers who might be able to provide assistance more promptly.
Consider Alternatives
If your MSP is not meeting your business needs and you're consistently experiencing issues, it might be time to consider looking for alternative providers. Switching providers can look to be a complicated endeavor at first but if you select a good MSP they handle it all and make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. Make sure to do your research and find the MSP that meets your needs and expectations.
Investigate
If the services level is less than it was in prior months this could mean the MSP is short staffed or unable to keep staff. This tends to happen when an MSP losses its key client or sells its services at a low price to attract clients but it then is unable to delivery. Ask them why they can’t deliver the services the way they use to.
Document Everything
Keep a record of all your attempts to contact your MSP, including dates, times, outcome and methods of communication. This documentation could be useful if you need to escalate the issue further or seek compensation.
Review Contract
Review your contract and see what level of support you're entitled to and what the expected response times are. This can help you determine if they're in breach of contract.
