Champlain Technology Group and PrimeLink Recognized by the NYS Public Service Commission

Plattsburgh, NY- The New York State Public Service Commission recently awarded both PrimeLink and Champlain Technology Group, with their annual commendation for excellence in service quality to consumers during 2018.

Each year, the commission recognizes telephone companies that provide exemplary service to their customers.  The criteria include evaluation of “customer trouble report rates” (CTRR) and the number of consumer complaints received by the Commission.  Among its standards for recognition, the PSC requires that customer trouble report rates must be less than or equal to 3.3 reports per 100 access lines.  In addition, the Public Service Commission complaint rate must be .075 complaints per 1,000 access lines or less.

“This commendation reflects the commitment of both companies to overall service quality and dedication to our customers,” said Trent Trahan, CEO and President of Champlain Technology Group.  “This is definitely a tribute to the PrimeLink and Champlain Technology Group employees who work hard to maintain our standard of excellence.”
